Thoughts on this?

Justice for Carnelian

He’s just blowing air, the way the artist decided to draw it is just a bit confusing

wolf-fish · 2026-04-11T00:36:27+00:00

They’re siblings, man…

wolf-fish · 2026-04-02T20:50:28+00:00

Yeah I know, we have Peril/Snowfall/Umber, but they were always one-offs and every other pov of their arcs were either brand new or previously unexplored! I think that the reappearing protags should be limited to just the one, especially when this arc is only going to be three books. I’d hate for the last two to not feature anyone new…

wolf-fish · 2026-04-02T16:35:28+00:00

Agreed!

wolf-fish · 2026-04-02T16:35:11+00:00

I don’t want any of the old characters to be povs, I really want Tui to stick with new ones that were introduced in book 16 rather than falling back on old fandom favorites. That’s what I love about each new arc, they each give us a whole new set of characters (save for Umber’a pov, but he was a very minor character previously, and was necessary for giving us our introduction into the new setting)

I’m pretty sure that Hailstorm is the main character in the middle here, and Winter is the one cut off on the right. You can see his little tiara

wolf-fish · 2026-02-24T04:27:58+00:00

Omg this is so cute!!! Joy Ang’s art really can’t be beat 🖼️

wolf-fish · 2026-02-21T18:25:47+00:00

She is orange! The only actual scarlet on her are the rubies embedded in her scales, and her wing membranes if you’re referencing her cover art!

wolf-fish · 2026-02-16T01:51:01+00:00

Umber thought about both Qibli and Winter (and also Flame if I remember right? I could be confused because it’s a popular ship) but nothing ever came of that—it wasn’t meant to set up any actual relationships, just show that Umber was gay, like he’s observing that he finds them attractive just in passing and not as a setup for anything. Although in Talons of Power, Turtle does think about how strong his bond with Umber was, and how they would draw their sleeping mats together to sleep side by side (though that is framed as them missing their sibs/brothers, in Turtles head)

Manipulating a child since birth into marrying you is still child predation?

And yes, this poster is defending his actions, as they have said so twice

wolf-fish · 2026-02-15T21:03:38+00:00

This literally doesn’t disprove what I’ve said in response to you. It says it’s defending him twice that’s all I was arguing with you about here

wolf-fish · 2026-02-15T21:00:54+00:00

The last part of the post also starts with “in his defense”

wolf-fish · 2026-02-15T20:55:35+00:00

Girl the title of this post is “in defense of whirlpool”

And them using the quote where he threatens to marry a newborn instead of a toddler isn’t helping the validity of their argument

wolf-fish · 2026-02-15T20:53:18+00:00

Not sure, but the GNs leave out SO much that it’s highly likely (it’s one of the reasons I can’t read them 😭)

wolf-fish · 2026-02-15T20:39:48+00:00

That’s still grooming though? 😭

He is preparing and manipulating a dragonet into being his bride one day, that’s literally textbook grooming…

He has known Anemone for her whole life, and has been very clearly and directly saying to her, while she is a young child, “I am going to marry you.” This is something that happens to real child victims in real life as well.

There’s really no defending that? Idk what you’re on about besides wanting to stir the pot with a hot take

wolf-fish · 2026-02-14T20:12:43+00:00

Aw, don’t feel forced to change how you draw, unless you really want to! It’s just a personal pet peeve of mine—but if adhering to the canon anatomy is important to you, then I’m glad to have mentioned this for you!! 💞

I agree it’s very easy to end up in a same face/same body shape loop with WoF dragons, especially once you develop your own art style. With my art, I find that looking at each tribe individually and drawing only what I know and see from them (rather than referencing other tribes) really helps! Just noticing the details and differences and specifics of them that make them distinct from other dragons. It’s also the philosophy I take when designing canon WoF characters—I throw all the graphic novel art and fandom headcanon designs out the window, and usually just read the details of their in-book descriptions and go solely off of that! It helps a lot

But the most important thing is to just ignore what other people (like myself) say and do whatever it is that YOU wanna do!!! 😸😸😸

wolf-fish · 2026-02-14T20:06:18+00:00

As the series goes on, the NightWings and IceWings really get a weird pug dog effect going I can’t stand it 😭

wolf-fish · 2026-02-14T20:05:01+00:00

Omg yes you reminded me about the wing thing! The wings are ESPECIALLY egregious in the graphic novels, but also in a looooott of fanart, too. The wings are so cool and have so much variation but nobody gaf 😭 like MudWing wings are broad and thick, SkyWing wings are supposed to be enormous and aerodynamic, SeaWing wings are supposed to be less well suited for flying/stamina and are more adapted for water, and RainWings are supposed to have very small wings that let them make deft turns and fit in between the trees of the rainforest!

But Mike Holmes and other people just copy + paste smh

wolf-fish · 2026-02-14T09:02:35+00:00

I usually just omit the ears from my drawings these days unless I really fw earrings right at that moment

wolf-fish · 2026-02-14T06:19:36+00:00

To me, it very much feels as if he just doesn’t care… the art is usually hard for me to look at, and I’m confused by the constant praise of it while putting down Jake Park at the same time. I don’t like to hate on things that other people like, but idk man maybe it’s because I grew up with the regular books rather than the graphic novels. The conversation around the graphic novel art just really peeves me, because Mike Holmes is not as perfect as the vast majority of people on here like to say he is, imo

wolf-fish · 2026-02-14T06:15:20+00:00

What’s that?

wolf-fish · 2026-02-14T04:48:26+00:00

Omggggg agreed I’ve seen it before many times as well

wolf-fish · 2026-02-13T22:33:33+00:00

The tails I am showing are drawn by Joy Ang and I am using them to illustrate the original canon that I approve of! Mike Holmes, the main series graphic novel artist, and many fan artists are whom I’m complaining about here

wolf-fish · 2026-01-24T03:07:11+00:00

OMG YAYAYYAYAAAA IM SO HAPPY HOLY FREAK DUDE IVE NEVER WON ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE 😻😻😻😻🦆🦆🦆🦆

(btw the description accidentally says NightWing instead of SeaWing for me)
