Description
So since Arctic is my favorite Wings of Fire character and I draw him so often, I figured I should just go ahead and make a proper ref sheet for him I'm very pleased with how this turned out!
Name: Arctic
Gender: Male
Tribe: Icewings
Ranking: First Circle
Age: About 15 (23 in human years)
We know his age because of two things: one, Tui confirmed that Arctic was 7 years old when he ran away with Foeslayer (or, technically, 12 days away from turning 7, as Icewings have their gifting ceremonies at 7 years old)
Next, Darkstalker was 7 years old when he was put under the spell, and dragon eggs take 1 year to incubate. So that means 7+8= 15.
Description:
“His scales were polished white with hints of pale blue, but not as shiny as she’d (Clearsight) expected. He looked sort of … scuffed, as though he needed to go roll in some snow to clean off. His eyes were the color of a cloudless sky; they were piercing but tired at the same time.” -Legends Darkstalker, page 147
“Darkstalker hadn’t known that his father had a ‘shielding earring’. He wondered which one it was: the light blue diamond in his left ear, or the silver narwhal in his right.” -Legends Darkstalker, page 300
Extra accessories:
“Are you still primping?’ Arctic demanded, shoving his head into Darkstalker’s room. ‘The queen will not be pleased if we’re late.’ He was one to talk about primping: his moon-white scales were set off by necklaces of black jet and bright green emeralds, and matching rings glittered on a few of his claws.” -Legends Darkstalker, page 174
“Foeslayer was waiting for them by the door, wearing emeralds and white moonstones that complemented his father’s black gemstones- a trick they often played with their jewelry. It gave them the illusion of matching, of fitting perfectly together. Foeslayer reached out and adjusted one of Arctic’s chains, her talons drifting lightly down his neck.” -Legends Darkstalker, page 175

SAME!! Except, I don't have the problem with their sails. For me, its the head that's the issue.

Ahhh yeah the head spikes can be a bit hard, I usually sketch out a line of spikes that go directly down the spine, and then add extra ones around those on the base of the neck

I need to practice the spikes as well, but Icewings are the easiest tribe for me to draw. I can draw them ALL DAY!!!

I love how you draw the dragons! Especially how you to follow the book's references for the species, but still manage to make each character look unique. And the detail with the scales and the spines is super well-done!
Another thing I love is how you draw the wings, you make them look so natural and normal (I have difficulty with bat/dragon wings, I just need to practice more with them but it's irksome when they look wrong haha)

Aw hey thanks dude! I'm glad you like my work!
Yeah I try to have a balance between my own style and adding the details from the official art of the dragons~
Bat/dragon wings can be tricky, I usually google bat pictures to use as references!
