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

Oh, she gave me some tips on the anatomy, especially the wings and shoulders. In the first draft of this ref his front legs looked bad lol

Aww! He looks really beautiful!       I LOVE your style for the Wings of Fire dragons!   I wanted to have half of your talent at drawing WoF dragons like this   I speacially love his head and his expressions, they're so realistc! I also love his colors and of course the anatomy is perfect! Icewings are the most difficult tribe for me to draw and I still have to practice a lot to draw them, but you draw Icewings so PERFECTLY OMG!

Iron-Zing In reply to AnaLee94 [2017-12-19 16:23:02 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much!

The expressions were fun to do~ And yeah the anatomy was tricky, I redid his front legs and wings a few times until they looked good!

Haha for me the most difficult tribe to draw is Sandwings, I can never figure out what to do with their sails!

FrostBreath21 In reply to Iron-Zing [2018-01-04 01:07:35 +0000 UTC]

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

AnaLee94 In reply to Iron-Zing [2017-12-19 16:25:12 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome!

I see! They turned out pretty good

Haha! Well, for me Sandwings are quite easy, I have done a few Sandwing drawings in the past Icewings are difficult for me because of their head spikes, I can never get them right!

Iron-Zing In reply to AnaLee94 [2017-12-19 16:57:28 +0000 UTC]

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

AnaLee94 In reply to Iron-Zing [2017-12-20 00:05:40 +0000 UTC]

I see! I guess I need to practice more how to draw their spikes because I love Icewings

FrostBreath21 In reply to AnaLee94 [2018-01-04 01:08:55 +0000 UTC]

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

pURPLECHUG [2017-12-19 01:24:07 +0000 UTC]

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)

Iron-Zing In reply to pURPLECHUG [2017-12-19 16:21:55 +0000 UTC]

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!
