#glory

When I started reading Wings of Fire, I hadn't seen a single illustration, and I also started reading the book at night. I don't know how it happened, but for half the first book, I imagined Glory as a feathered dragon, not a scaly one.

When the war has lasted twenty years … the dragonets will come. When the land is soaked in blood and tears … the dragonets will come.

I recently reread the entire wings of fire series for the first time since late highschool and fell in love with them all over again. I could not get this vision to stop plaguing me until I put it down on paper. Arc 1 you are so beloved to me.

Glory ❀

loosely based her design on a peacock! in my version, her colours are slightly muted and the 'decorative' feathers and display parts of rainwings are missing on her due to sun deprevation. her frills are smaller for the same reason, but her horns suggest a natural crown.

of course she also has beads for the friends, and two extra ones for kinkajou and jambu!<33 plus you get to see her long ass rainwing thumb hehe
