It's a strategy board game based on a battle between Skywings and Icewings. I imagine it to play somewhat similarly to chess, but you can also place buildings that alter the functions of your infantry pieces. If I was a game designer, I'd write actual rules for it. But alas, I am not.

I am glad you feel that way, because initially, I wasn't sure about that entire shot at all. Drawing dragons from any angle other than profile is always a gamble. Case in point, I think I kind of botched Turtle in the final panel. Also yes, the visual joke of holding all 3 prongs was important.

I have a vague idea for most of them. It all depends on whether I have the stamina to draw that many comics.

Smaugust 2026 - "Quest" Winter and Turtle hanging out, a rare sight indeed. Also featuring the Zelda, a game some might have heard of. It turns out he is not very good at it. #WingsOfFire #wof #wofTurtle #wofWinter #dragon #Zelda #OcarinaOfTime
A comic featuring Winter the Icewing and Turtle the Seawing playing The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time. Both of them are seated with their backs to the camera, while a TV with a dragon-version of Link standing in Hyrule Field sits in the center of the frame. Turtle explains the heroic, high-fantasy themes of the game while Winter observes that the protagonist is green. This flusters Turtle. He continues to explain facts about the game, mentioning the hero's father is a tree, there is a princess inside a big fish, and at night zombies come out and kill you. He then, without warning, hands Winter the controller and tells him to try it himself. Winter grabs onto the three-pronged controller with three talons. He looks very tense doing so, and mashes buttons. A yelp is heard and Turtle observes that Winter has somehow killed Navi the fairy, despite that supposedly being impossible to do.

Smaugust 2026 - "Game" Bit of a sequel to "Cyber" from my 2024 run, Qibli playing games again. Obviously not canon, since they haven't quite figured out computers yet on Pyrrhia, so it's just a fun what-if. Wood stocks are too low, sire. #wof #WingsOfFire #wofWinter #wofQibli #dragon #Stronghold
A two-panel comic. The first one shows a facsimile of a real time strategy computer game (modeled after the game "Stronghold"). There is an overhead-view of a desert landscape with rivers criss-crossing through. There is grassland in the east, with three crops fields built on it. A mouse cursor is hovering over that area. The user interface shows a menu for placing buildings, as well as a grinning dragon holding a scroll with various game statistics on it.

Cut to the second panel, where Qibli is playing the game on a computer while Winter watches. Winter asks him what he is doing with the cursor and Qibli replies he wants to build another crops field. This annoys Winter, who cites some kind of ideal resource chain ratio and says three fields are enough. They argue a bit back and forth and Winter suggests Qibli's peasants should revolt and overthrow him.Comic page featuring Qibli and Winter, continuing from the previous post. Winter is still commenting on Qibli playing computer games, criticizing his playstyle. Qibli, looking annoyed, suggests Winter should play himself instead of backseating him all the time. To this Winter is shocked and insists he can't do that. He tries to excuse himself, explaining that he's never learned how to play these games because his parents claimed they were a waste of time and never let him have any. Qibli replies that it's about time he started playing them then, and that if his strategy games are too intimidating to start with, Winter should go see the others and check what they are playing. He calls it a "quest of self-discovery". Winter seems apprehensive and nervous at the idea.

Smaugust 2026 - "Star" Fatespeaker and Starflight, power couple. Alternatively: He smelled a crumb of toast stuck to the side of her neck. Nobody can resist the allure of toast. #WingsOfFire #wof #wofStarflight #wofFatespeaker #dragon #Smaugust
Two pictures, stacked on top of each other.

The first picture depicts Fatespeaker and Starflight at night, backlit by two moons in the sky background. Both Nightwings are holding hands and are looking at each other (Starflight is blind, but he is facing in Fatespeaker's direction). They are smiling. There is narrative text saying "If I had to name just one regret...".

The second picture shows Starflight lovingly kissing Fatespeaker on the neck while Fatespeaker laughs happily. They are still holding hands and their fingers are interlocked. The narrative says "...it's that I didn't get nearly enough time to look at you."

Smaugust 2026 - "Smaug" Here's a quick one, to finally get things rolling. I drew Scarlet because she is the closest analogue to Smaug this series has. Based vaguely on a panel from the dirst graphic novel, where her back is in focus. #WingsOfFire #wof #wofScarlet #wofBurn #dragon #Smaugust
Picture of Queen Scarlet the Skywing with her back turned towards the camera and her wings spread. She is pointing enthusiastically towards her back with both hands. She is wearing a black leather jacket with the words "Born to burn, forced to blister" printed on the back.Sketch showing Scarlet the Skywing and Burn the Sandwing. Scarlet is chained up and angrily pointing at the blistering acid scar on her face, yelling "Burn! You knew! When you sent me that jacket, you knew something like this was going to happen!" Burn smiles with her mouth open and shrugs at her, very amused.

Well yeah, his family hates him, but it's not for a lack of trying to appease them on Winter's part. He's shown to be extremely dedicated and diligent in his efforts. It's his kindness and compassion for "weak" and "useless" things they hate. I agree with you though, he should tie Qibli up.

Eh, Qibli is a little twig boy and Winter is royalty from a culture of stoic warriors who heavily buys into the image. He (like his sister) keeps himself in shape. I have little doubt he could wear Qibli like a scarf if he wanted to (he doesn't want to because it makes Qibli talk more).

"Refreshed and Ready" Winter and Qibli graciously give us insight into their daily morning routine, just in time for the end of June. Happy pride. #WingsOfFire #wof #wofQibli #wofWinter #wofUmber #dragon
A comic page featuring Winter the Icewing and Qibli the Sandwing. The setting is a cave room with several rock shelves and small water pools and basins, implied to be a kind of bathroom. Winter is standing at a body of water and brushing his teeth. Qibli slinks through the door and past him, prompting Winter to comment that Qibli finally got out of bed and that he is too late to get clean and ready in time for class. Qibli assures him he will be. He grabs a nearby towel and rubs his face with it. Then he puts it away and claims this is all he needs to be ready for the day. Winter is speechless and stunned at this declaration, then hisses and is overtaken by unyielding rage at Qibli's horrid hygiene standards. The last panel is an exaggerated close-up of his face, enraged and wreathed in heavy shadow, with teeth exposed and glowing eyes.A comic page continuing the previous events. Umber the Mudwing knocks at the room entrance and pokes his head through the door. He explains Webs sent him to check up on the two since they weren't there when class started. It then shows Winter, surrounded by soap bubbles, shoving Qibli into a mound of foam and dunking him in water. Only his hand is visible through the foam. Winter declares that Webs will have to wait, as this is "a hygiene emergency." Umber accepts this explanation and bows out.


Finally, Qibli resurfaces, gasping for air. A block of soap is in his mouth and he is spitting out more foam. Winter says "Stop eating the soap! You ninny!" as he continues pushing him into the water.

"Guardian Angel" At present, I have not read Book 16. This comic is based on information from Arcs 1 and 2 only. So if there are any contradictions with things happening in Arc 4, they're outside the scope of my knowledge. #WingsOfFire #wof #wofClay #wofUmber #dragon
A comic page featuring Umber. He is walking through swampy terrain while narrating. The narration implies that this environment is a dream. He recounts a recurring dream he is having in which, whenever he turns around, he sees his brother Clay off in the distance, looking at him. The visuals reflect his account, showing Clay watching him from between some trees in the back. Umber continues that he tried to call out and approach Clay, but he never responds and is always gone when he makes his way to where he saw him. Umber then states that he's having this dream once every week and wonders what it could mean. He concludes that he likes to imagine the dream means Clay is somehow watching over him and his sister from afar.

As Umber's narration ends, the scene shifts to Clay, looking somber in a dark room. He is holding a glowing Dreamvisitor in his hand and says: "...still alive."

Picture of Sunny, drawn for me by @teekayeh.bsky.social. It's deliberately done with only 3 colors. She usually doesn't draw dragons, but for something outside her wheelhouse it turned out extremely adorable. Check out her work. She is a very talented artist. #wofSunny #WingsOfFire #dragon #wof
A sketch showing Sunny the Sandwing, smiling and happy, flying over a desert landscape. There are sand dunes and remnants of ruins in the background. The entire picture has been deliberately drawn with only three colors: black, white, and a sandy yellow.

Flawseer @flawseer.bsky.social · 04/06/2026
In effect, it's exploiting a loophole in the wording. Animus spells are specific. Example: Darkstalker makes himself immune to spells other than his own. Turtle makes himself invisible to DS anyway, by wording the spell to target himself instead of DS. Same principle, spell dodged by a technicality.

Flawseer @flawseer.bsky.social · 04/06/2026
Winter's plan is this: * Turn Foeslayer into Pyrite (no rules broken) * Pyrite leaves the prison (spell only prevents Foeslayer from leaving) * Brace remains on Foeslayer with all spells intact. She's free, but if she went back into the cave, she'd be trapped again (Foeslayer can't leave the prison)
251
Flawseer @flawseer.bsky.social · 04/06/2026
The stipulations here are: * Everything about the spear ritual * Brace can't be removed by Arctic or descendants * Enchantment on the brace can't be altered or broken by Arctic or descendants * Foeslayer can't leave the prison (so she can't walk out, be teleported out, or otherwise leave with magic)

Flawseer @flawseer.bsky.social · 04/06/2026
The brace was made by Diamond. Do you mean the necklace? If so, it's a loophole. The magic isn't used to remove or alter the enchantment on the brace (she's still wearing it at the end). He's making it so the spell temporarily stops applying to her. This is possible, Turtle does something similar.

So I've been shown a picture of the front cover of the Darkness of Dragons graphic novel, and... I see what's going on here. You cannot fool me. I agree! Cast off the shackles of the main story and embrace adaptation! Make it canon! #WingsOfFire #wof #wofQibli #wofWinter #qinter #dragon
An asinine chimera of an image, haphazardly stitched together from the covers of Wings of Fire graphic novels 7 and 10. They feature Winter and Qibli respectively, and are combined in a way to make it seem like the two are holding hands.

The creator of this combined image appears to have some issues to work through.

The trials and tribulations of someone who does not have wings. This is perfectly normal behavior. These guys are all professionals in their fields. #WingsOfFire #wof #wofBlue #wofCricket #wofSwordtail #dragon
A sketch showing Swordtail and Blue. Swordtail has grabbed Blue by his midsection and appears to be gearing up to throw him. He looks intense and determined, while Blue's expression is worried.A sketch showing Swordtail launching Blue up into the air, leaning back and looking vaguely unhinged while doing so. The scene is playing out inside a hive, with buildings and posters of Queen Wasp in the background. Blue is tumbling through the air with his arms flailing. Cricket waits atop a high ledge above Swordtail, preparing to catch Blue.Sketch of Cricket the Hivewing standing in front of a building. This is a continuation of the previous situation where Swordtail threw Blue up a ledge. Cricket's gaze is directed upward, presumably towards Blue who is about to land.Sketch of the same scene with Cricket. Blue has missed Cricket completely and crashed through a screen window in the background, with only his legs and tail sticking out. Cricket is wincing.

"Spider" Based on a conversation I had 2 years ago. The title is "spider" and there is discussion of a spider, but no actual spiders depicted in the comic. Can never have enough Qibli/Winter domestic scenes. #WingsOfFire #wof #wofQibli #wofWinter #wofMoonwatcher #dragon
A comic featuring Qibli and Winter. Winter wakes up a sleeping Qibli, who groggily wonders what's happening. Winter then informs him that there is a spider in the bathroom. Qibli doesn't know what he is supposed to do with this information. Winter explains that he wants him to get rid of the spider, saying that, as a Sandwing who eats scorpions, Qibli should be able to deal with this problem. Qibli angrily refuses to eat the bathroom spider, to which Winter says he doesn't care how Qibli disposes of the spider, as long as he does so somehow. Qibli then walks into the bathroom, intent to see the spider and making fun of Winter. He then looks at something off-panel (implied to be the spider) and falls silent.

Smash cut to both Qibli and Winter now waking up a sleeping Moonwatcher. As Moon gets up, Winter explains that there is a spider in the bathroom, while Qibli sheepishly says "It's a lot bigger than I expected."

He wants to be stone to punish himself, because he is crushed by guilt of having helped enable the Nightwings' warmongering. The idea of this comic is that Sunny tried to help him process the guilt, so that his self-punishment is no longer necessary, and he would voluntarily lift his curse again.

Wings of Fire is a whimsical, lighthearted romp where nothing bad ever happens and everyone is happy all the time. #WingsOfFire #wof #wofSunny #wofClay #wofStonemover #dragon
A comic page featuring Sunny the Sandwing. She is in her father's cave and washing Stonemover with a piece of cloth and a bucket. The makes lighthearted conversation with him while he seems to relax and smile at her presence.

In the next scene, Sunny is leaving the cave and runs into Clay, who asks how Stonemover is doing. When Sunny says he is fine, and that he smiled a little today, Clay continues and asks how Sunny is doing. Sunny goes into an explanation about how she's been taking care of Stonemover for a year now, and that she thought she could convince him eventually to stop punishing himself with the stone curse if she continued to be there for him. She laments that, with Animus magic no longer working, her father will now forever remain trapped with his stone curse and nothing she can do will help him now. During her explanation, she tears up and begins crying. Clay hugs her.

A drawing of Swordtail the Silkwing vaguely reminiscent of the graphic novel style. He is a large, muscular blue dragon with white and orange splotch accents and butterfly wings. He is flying in an orange sky, surrounded by clouds and distant Hivewings who appear to be closing in on his location. His facial expression is cocky and confident. He seems to be in somewhat of a battle-ready pose.

More Blues. One cute, two stupid. #WingsOfFire #wof #wofBlue #wofLuna #dragon
Picture of Blue the Silkwing eating a honey drop, shown in profile. His back is leaning against a hive wall while he is holding a honey drop in his front talons (his pinky claw is extended for some reason). His eyes are closed and his expression suggests he is enjoying the taste. There is some honey residue stuck to the outside of his mouth.

Blue and the hive wall is in the foreground. The backdrop is a gradient of yellows and blues, with silken webbing stretching across it.Sketch of Blue getting held at knife point in an alley by a Hivewing while Luna looks on. Blue says "I don't know, Luna. Am I really justified in taking action at the cost of someone else's right to self-determinate?". Luna replies "Yes!! Absolutely you are!" Blue counters that this is prescriptivist, which the Hivewing mugger agrees with. Luna angrily demands the mugger stay out of this conversation, but Blue says "I think as a party in this transaction, he has a right to be involved." Exasperated, Luna yells "For silk's sake, Blue!!"Continuation of the previous situation. Blue's face is shown in close-up. Luna asks from off-panel "Do you WANT to get stabbed??", to which Blue replies "Well, I do rather enjoy new experiences." Luna, in disbelief, screams "Oh my grub!!!"

Never share your sweets with Carnelian unless you are prepared to lose all of them. #WingsOfFire #wof #wofCarnelian #wofBigtail #dragon
A comic featuring Carnelian the Skywing and Bigtail the Nightwing sitting at a table. A coffee mug sits in front of Carnelian, while Bigtail has a large, elaborate fruity beverage with a colorful straight straw. Carnelian observes that no one is looking and asks Bigtail for a quick sip from his "fruity affront to dragonkind". Bigtail acquiesces.

Carnelian begins drinking through the straw. Bigtail initially appears impressed at how much she is drinking, but then urges her to stop, so some of it will be left for him. Carnelian then begins quickly drinking the whole thing, while Bigtail desperately tries to separate her from the glass, yelling "No! Stop! STOP! NOOO!!!"

Recently, I've been drawing backdrops for our JMA Files project (bsky.app/profile/flaw...) Yes, it's still being worked on. This is the JMA history cave, prior to being blown up. The room doesn't have the best lighting, so bring a candle if you want to study. #WingsOfFire #wof #JMAfiles
Line drawing of a cave decorated like a classroom. Numerous maps of Pyrrhia (partial and whole) have been pinned on several of the walls. To the left stands a wood-framed stone slate styled like a free-standing blackboard. It is partially off-frame. On the right, seven small flags hang on the wall, each representing a Pyrrhian kingdom. Flat seating mats have been placed on the floor. A long, flat wooden chest sits against the wall.The same line drawing as before, but with shadows added to imply depth. A glass-domed lamp sitting on top of a small cabinet appears to be the scene's primary light source.The same drawing as before, but with colors added. The palette seems moody and desaturated, dominated by grays and dark purples, though the maps and flags add a little bit of color.Winter, sitting in the poorly lit history cave.

A scene showing Flame the Skywing. He is laying down on a rug in front of a small wood-fired stove while wrapped in a quilted blanket. He looks contemplative and still. A brass pot sits atop the stove, steam leaking from its spout. Beside Flame, on a circular wooden coaster, sits a clay mug filled with hot chocolate, steam rising from it as well. The entire scene is bathed in a warm glow from the stove fire. A window in the back looks out at the cold, blue night sky.
