All 3 of these drawings will appear in an animation meme that I will be uploading soon.
Here’s Moonseeker, my NightWing WoF OC. She’s dating my other WoF OC, Dawn. You can see more of them in their playlist, and can read more of their backstory on their DeviantArt pages.
Moonseeker is looking sparkly as always.
This is the only one where I put actual effort into drawing the wings; that doesn’t happen very often and probably won’t happen again for some time. I think my brain short-circuited trying to figure out what way round to draw her hands and I’m still not sure if I got it right, but eh.
Fun fact! I actually made a Dawn X Moonseeker PMV with this song last year. I’ve linked it in the outro ^^
Moonseeker is flying (heh, dragon pun) the Lesbian flag. (I’m still not 100% sure if this is the right one, or if it’s the one with 7 stripes, but I keep seeing both being used)
I don’t own the songs. Song: She Likes Girls by Metro Station. Outro song: Syko - # BrooklynBloodPop!

WARNING: Contains MAJOR SPOILERS for The Owl House Season 2 & Season 3 Episode 1 “Thanks To Them” ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wow look at that, I actually drew people! I’m sooo happy with the editing and shading.
For the first meme of the year, I present Emperor Belos in his various forms.
Belos is a great villain and I hate him, but this meme fit him perfectly so I had to make this. The first thought this guy has when he wakes up is probably “What a wonderful morning, time to traumatise Hunter and Luz!”
The monster walk cycle didn’t turn out quite as menacing as I wanted, so I edited it to look like it was getting closer. There’s 12 frames in the walk cycle in case anyone was wondering. Also every screenshot I had as a reference seemed to have different patterns, so I mixed a few together.
Because of the fast moving scenes and the blurry edits in the middle, I thought it was best to add an eyestrain warning just in case.
Who else is excited for the new episode? I definitely am. I can’t wait to see if Belos finally gets his butt kicked, and what stuff The Collector has been doing all this time. I also want to see what happens if The Collector meets Hooty; either they’ll be besties or Hooty will annoy him so much that The Collector just leaves The Boiling Isles forever.
If you haven’t watched The Owl House, go and watch it, it’s so good! It’s one of those shows that starts off looking all wholesome and then gets super dark. Also it’s absolutely hilarious.

Find me here: Deviantart: deviantart.com/emeraldthedragon21 Art Fight: artfight.net/~EmeraldTheDragon[13+]【 Hypnotic meme - WoF Halloween Special】EmeraldTheDragon2022-10-31 | WARNING: Some character designs contain gore/horror which some viewers may find disturbing.
I’ve wanted to make something with this remix for ages and I just had the thought of how well it would go with some WoF villains.
I guess this kind of counts as a horror AU (I don’t have any actual stories for them though.) Burn’s design is supposed to be like Frankenstein’s monster because of her obsession with weird things, the fact that she has lots of battle scars, and because apparently various dragons (including Scarlet) have given her gifts of various animals that have been sewn together. Scarlet wasn’t particularly based on anything; I just wanted to have a go at drawing her with an exaggerated melted face. Darkstalker is supposed to look demonic so I’m calling him ‘Demonstalker’.
I’d also planned to include Albatross as a ghost, but there was only room for 3 characters in the meme.
The horror warning is mostly for Scarlet because of the whole half-melted-face and the muscles showing on her neck, but Burn’s design also leans more on the horror side too, so I thought it was best to add a warning.
I’m very pleased with how the designs turned out. I wasn’t very fond of Demonstalker’s design to start with, but it was the 5th colour scheme I tried and it’s growing on me. The editing also turned out nicely, with all parts having more freedom of movement to make the characters look more chaotic.
I had no idea what to do for the backgrounds but the idea came to me a day before I started editing. I made backgrounds for the land in each of their kingdoms and tried to give it a rushing, zooming effect like the backgrounds in the videos I was inspired by (linked below). It didn’t quite turn out how I wanted it to, but I think it still looks good.
There’s no full version of the remix, as apparently the file was lost and I can’t find the original video with the short version anymore either.
I don’t own the song. Song: Rama Lama (Bang Bang) by Róisín Murphy [Remixed by DatMØrlan] Outro song: Spooky Scary Skeletons by Andrew Gold and remixed by The Living Tombstone.
Woah I can’t believe it’s been 8 whole years since I first started this channel, that’s crazy! I’ve come a long way and improved a lot, and I’ve witnessed so many wonderful channels growing and improving over the years. Thank you all so much for all the kindness and support I’ve been given over the years, it’s been a wild ride.
I know I don’t upload nearly as much as I used to, and that’s because I’m usually quite busy and I’m giving myself more breaks from animation to do other things (also sometimes I get art block but that doesn’t usually last too long) However I am still going to continue to make content, it’s just going to be rather slow but hopefully anything I do upload will have been worth the wait ^^
‘Hey Emerald, if it’s an 8 year celebration, why are there only 6 characters?’ Because that was all I had room for in this meme; also these are my main characters. My other OCs are ones that I don’t use very often and while I do have quite a lot, I don’t really know who else I would have added.
The meme is rather simple, but I think it all fits together rather nicely. It felt too short originally, so I added the start of the song too and I like how this turned out.
Please note that while Frost and Flame are a couple and so are Dawn and Moonseeker, Emerald and Mirage are NOT a couple so please don’t ship them. They don’t exist in the same world and have never even met before, and probably won’t. They were just included side by side at the start so I could pair up the others together.

First year of Art Fight and I did 42 attacks in 30 days! I’m very pleased with myself and also very tired.
I tried to do as many fullbody drawings as possible and while the earliest drawings did have backgrounds, as usual I lost motivation and ideas, so in the end I just did simple colour backgrounds, but I think they still look Ok. Lots of funky little character poses in there ^^
Also the reason there’s some black bars around some of the drawings is because some of the canvas sizes were smaller on those ones so there wasn’t a huge chunk of empty background.
Might do some animations/PMVs for next years Art Fight (if I have time)
And if you’re a bit unsure on how to sign up and submit characters/attacks, I found this video very helpful when I first started this year (the video is from last year but still super helpful!): youtube.com/watch?v=P02vH9jBMC4

My attacks may range from headshots to fullbody drawings with backgrounds, depending on what kind of ideas I get from everyone's characters ^^
Hopefully I'll be able to do revenge attacks too, but that really depends on how much time I have because I currently have around 30 characters I want to draw so far :D

It’s a little long so I decided to add lyrics. I edited parts of the song to test my editing and also so it didn’t end up being way too long.
Fun fact! There’s 16 frames in the run cycle, so I’m pretty sure it’s my biggest one so far. I think the legs might be in the wrong positions though, but unfortunately I didn’t have access to any references when I made this or the motivation to go back and change it. But either way it’s my best and smoothest run cycle so far.
I don’t know if this counts as a meme, so I didn’t write that in the title. But if anyone wants to make their own, then go for it ^^

One of the conversations we never saw in the books but probably happened anyway. ‘And they were roommates …’
Qibli is onto you Winter: he’s doing the eyebrow wiggle. The ‘girl’ is supposed to be Moonwatcher in case anyone wasn’t sure.
Honestly I ship Qibli and Winter more than I ship either of them with Moon: I just think they have great chemistry and their interactions are always so funny and entertaining. But that's just my opinion, ship whatever you want ^^
Oh gosh the amount of times I forgot to draw Qibli’s scar is unbelievable.

This is basically how it went right?
I just had to make this. After all, we all know how great Sundew is at being romantic.
Pfft, imagine if Sundews voice actually sounded like that though. Sundew 110% owns a pair of shades like that.
I didn’t have the motivation to draw a full background for the last scene, but if I did then among the guests Bumblebee would have been throwing flower petals, and Swordtail may or may not have been stuck in a Venus dragon-trap (again) Feel free to imagine some funny stuff happening with the guests.
Honestly Sundew and Willow are probably my favourite couple in the series, they’re so sweet together and I wish we’d see more of them together.
Not sure if their ship name is Sunlow, Willdew or Window.
Made an animation meme! I saw Roxxie’s one last year but didn’t have time to make my own until this year.
It’s only 6 frames so the movements are a little jerky, but I still like how this turned out. I’m especially happy with Dawn, because she has the most detail and I had trouble trying to make her head fan bounce. I’m definitely improving at drawing dragon faces!
So if you don’t already know, these are 3 of my OCs. Emerald is not a WoF dragon, she’s just a regular fire breathing dragon who lives in another world. (She’s never met the other 2 dragons in the video) The dragon in the middle is Dawn, who is a SandWing/RainWing hybrid. The dragon on the right is her girlfriend: Moonseeker the NightWing. (All of these characters have updated backstories which can be seen on DeviantArt)
Emerald is Ace (Asexual), Dawn is Bi (Bisexual) and Moonseeker is a lesbian. They’re all vibing to the music.
I know it’s mostly just a looped animation with the drawings from the 3 speedpaints I did recently, but I hope people still like it ^^

You can probably guess who the 3rd one will be ^^
Here’s Dawn, my SandWing/RainWing WoF OC. She’s dating my other WoF OC, Moonseeker. You can see more of them in their playlist, and can read more of their backstory on their DeviantArt pages.
I really like the pose on this one, even if her legs aren’t proportioned quite right. The flag in this one is more of a long winding scarf.
Dawn is flying (heh, dragon pun) the Bi/Bisexual flag. I think the song is supposed to be a breakup song, but I keep seeing it used in pride videos under the name ‘Bi Bi Bi’ so I thought I’d use it too. (Dawn and Moonseeker ARE still together, they’re not breaking up)

This is 1 of 3 speedpaints; the others will be up later this week and I’ve got some other pride videos ready to go too ^^
I actually really like the shading on this one, especially on her chest, gems and wings. I don’t know how to shade fabric though. I’m not quite sure what I was going for with the pose because I hadn’t really planned one before I started drawing, so this is just how it turned out.
Emerald is flying (heh, dragon pun) the Ace flag, as both she and I are Asexual.
I didn’t really know what song to use, but I thought this one fit quite nicely.

I actually started editing this from the end of the video, which is why there's so many recent videos and only 1 for each of the first few years.

Check out my 'WoF videos' playlist: youtube.com/watch?v=VkxWnCPnP34&list=PLCt2WISdo4DgUIgvrqZAVL1dBxb7EHJ2q ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well this took WAY too long. I think I started this in January, maybe even the end of December. It got delayed for various reasons but it’s here at last and I hope it was worth the wait.
The original meme is really old now but I’ve wanted to do this for ages and I finally got round to it! For anyone who’s curious, the main animated chunk contains 50 frames which is probably why I procrastinated so often. My shading is improving though!
Thought this meme was appropriate for a RainWing so of course I chose Glory. I was originally going to have her change colours when she switched between different emotions, but due to the really fast pacing and the fact that there’s only 6 frames before each new emotion, I thought it would just look really messy and would probably give everyone eyestrain so I just stuck to her regular colours.
[SPOILER:] I guess the video only really contains one spoiler and you kind of have to look hard to tell what it is, but in one scene I added a flower crown on Glory’s head to signify that she had become the RainWing Queen. But given that it’s such a big twist in the story, I thought I’d better include the spoiler warning just in case. [SPOILER END]
Featuring all the Dragonets of Destiny together at the end, and a rare moment of Tsunami actually smiling and not trying to strangle Glory! Shocking, really. (The pink things are supposed to be flower petals)
Also I made a new outro with Emerald (who is NOT a WoF dragon) and I’m really happy with it ^^

WARNING: Contains MAJOR SPOILERS for various Wings of Fire books. (See list below for full details) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aaay it’s done at last! I started this in September.
Fun fact! I’d originally planned to have this done for Halloween. However due to art block and other various reasons, it got delayed, but here it is. (I actually finished this a few weeks ago but it was too close to Christmas to upload it)
I have to say, this is probably some of my best dragon art so far, I’m really happy with this! Of course you can see some backgrounds I gave up on but what else is new. The shading directions don’t always make sense, but I’m getting better ^^
I think my favourite parts are ‘Queen Wasp’ and ‘Queen Battlewinner.’ I thought adding a border would look pretty fancy. The dragon skeletons in the corners were to keep with the spooky theme; they’re probably not anatomically correct but I still like them ^^
I think the only part that had actual gore in it was Arctic’s, but I thought I should add a warning anyway, even though it’s badly drawn.
I am fully aware that lots of these characters aren’t dead yet, I just tried to use scenes that best fitted the song. Some of them don’t really make sense, but this was the best I think of. If you’re not sure what the scene is, you are welcome to ask as some may be a little obscure. (For example Tsunami’s scene was when she dislocated her wing in book 1 and Qibli’s scene is when he’s getting shot at by scavengers)

And if you don't celebrate any holidays at the moment, I hope you still have a wonderful day ^^
I realised about 4 days ago that I hadn't made anything for Christmas so I made something simple, which is why it's super rushed and there's no shading.
I know it's really fast to watch and may be a bit hard to follow, but I only wanted to use 1 song and it took 5 hours to save everything in high quality so I didn't really want to make it longer.

I’m so happy with how this turned out, all the different animations work so well together. The lipsync of some parts even line up nicely even though they were originally for other songs.
I included people with all different levels of skills, not just super experienced well-known animators because these people are super underrated and deserve way more attention and it’s also nice to have a variety of talents. I was drawn to these for various reasons such as the style, fluid animation, shading, or beautiful editing. Some of the videos I used may be a bit older because I was trying to find ones that included canon WoF characters instead of OC’s, or the animator may not have made more recent WoF content, and a lot of them have improved even further since!
Please don’t be upset or take it personally if you weren’t included! There were lots of other channels I really wanted to promote but didn’t have room for or couldn’t include as they don’t make WoF content. However, someday I hope to make another tribute that isn’t just WoF, but will include peoples OC’s and other fandoms too (but that won’t be for a while)
As I included 39 different people, I did have to shorten a few parts but I tried to include as much as I could.
The title is a dumb joke because it’s a Wings of Fire tribute with a song called ‘Things We Lost In The Fire’ and I’m not really sure if it works but eh, my humour is weird.
And yes I made sure I got permission from everyone in the video to use their work for this ^^
As nice as it would have been to surprise everyone with this, I realised everyone would be a whole lot happier if I made sure to ask them first.
I don’t own any of the animations in this video or the song. Song: Things We Lost In The Fire, by Bastille.

Complete MAPs I’ve hosted: youtube.com/watch?v=RvHgi873ifU&list=PLCt2WISdo4DhHlgwDUAUJEPueemjtRaHE =========================================================================== After 3 years, I’m proud to present this finished MAP to you all. It took it’s time and I feel it was definitely worth the wait!
I know I always say this, but I’m so proud of everyone! Even though some parts (including some of my own) are old, they still look fantastic.
So the theme for this MAP was to make your part ‘emotional,’ whether in a happy or a sad way, it was up to the participants and how the song speaks to them.
If you’re new to this sort of thing and don’t really understand what this is, I’ll explain. Among the animation community ‘MAP’ stands for: Multi Animator Project. Multiple people animate short parts of the same song which are then put together to make videos like this one. As this is an OC (Original Character) MAP, the characters used are ones created by the participants. There is no overlapping story to the whole video, but most parts have their own little stories going on.
So the main song is a pitched version of the real song which plays during the outro. Why did I add an outro even though I included watermarks and an intro with everyone’s names? Because I like making those types of outros, they look so fancy.
I realise now that there’s a few spelling mistakes in there, so I guess I forgot to bring that up when the parts were first made and I wasn’t able to change them when I was putting this together. Just ignore those and enjoy the art instead ^^
I don’t own the song or most of the animations/characters. Song: I Found by Amber Run (pitched by me) Enjoy. =========================================================================== Sorry for being inactive for so long. If you’ve been keeping up with my community tab, you’ll know that I took a break due to a lack of motivation, tiredness and really bad art block. I am however currently working on a brand new WoF PMV and it’s almost half done!
I am still making content but it’s going to take longer than usual to complete because I’m giving myself more breaks and taking my time rather than rushing myself, to make sure my art will be good quality.Neoni - LOSER // Animation MemeEmeraldTheDragon2021-08-26 | WARNING: Contains psychedelic colours.
I highly doubt this will win and that’s totally fine, it was rather fun to do once I got in the swing of it and I actually really like how it turned out. You may have noticed that I’ve changed my style for drawing talons because I wanted to try something different.
If anyone remembers this guy, you have an amazing memory because he only appeared in 2 videos, both of which are speedpaints. This is the first time I’ve animated him and oh gosh drawing all those scales was PAINFUL. Could I have simplified the design? Probably. Will I? Lol nope.
So his name is Mirage and he’s one of my WoF (Wings of Fire) OCs. He’s a SandWing/HiveWing hybrid. He has the poisonous tail barb of a SandWing but he also has a long stinger that extends from the end of the barb that causes psychedelic hallucinations that can last up to 3 hours. The stinger won’t kill it’s victim but the tail barb can; however Mirage will only kill a dragon who is trying to kill him first.
He’s a talented thief and pickpocket who lives in the Scorpion Den among the other thieves. He can be hired for a suitable price but has been known to steal an item for a client, receive payment and then return in the night to steal the item back from the client, obtaining both the item and the payment. Anyone who wishes to hire him would be wise not to meet at their home. While he can be hired for various thieving jobs, Mirage will never take a job involving murder, as he doesn’t like killing other dragons.
He also refuses to steal from: dragonets, the sick or elderly or from orphanages. There have also been a few occasions where an orphanage receives an anonymous donation when Mirage was spotted in the general area. Does he have a heart deep down? He’d never admit it but it seems possible.
While he is a talented thief, he often ends up losing the treasure he’s stolen as he likes getting into drunken bar fights, or isn’t careful enough with where he keeps his treasure. He’s not too bothered though; he’s actually more interested in the challenge of getting the treasure, than the actual treasure itself.
He’s not interested in a relationship; however he will flirt with any dragon regardless of their gender if it will help distract them while he steals their coin purse, or to gain valuable information on a target or location. He can be surprisingly charming when he wants to be.
Despite being excellently stealthy, his unique appearance is impossible to disguise and when he is seen visiting other cities and items mysteriously vanish, it’s not too hard to figure out who took them. He has bounties out for him in several kingdoms but has yet to be caught as he is a deadly fighter and only really foolish dragons would dare challenge him with his dangerous barb and stinger.
Only one dragon has actually tried to kill him: an IceWing who responded to a ‘wanted dead or alive’ poster on Mirage. Mirage managed to slice his throat with his tail barb, and wears the IceWing’s tail spikes on a necklace as a warning. He found out that ironically the IceWing was also a wanted criminal, however he was wanted for multiple murders. Mirage presented the IceWings body to the IceWing Queen who grudgingly gave him the bounty and agreed to get rid of Mirage’s own bounty. Of course items still mysteriously vanished whenever Mirage was around…
I’m still trying to work out the full backstory of how his parents met, I have most of it sorted but there’s still some things I may need to change and I need to work out the timeline.
The editing is so rushed, I squeezed it all into the last 2 days and there’s a few parts I feel could have looked better but I just didn’t have the time to fix them. I hope this doesn’t look too bad because I’m out of practice with drawing frame by frame.
I didn’t have time to shade all the scenes, but the ones I did do actually came out so nice. The parts with the psychedelic colours are very short but I thought I’d better add a warning just to be safe.
The background colours are based off the original meme because it looks nice and because purple is my favourite colour.

This one is for a Thorn MAP, so I drew her and Sunny hugging. The large dark oval shape behind them is the Obsidian Mirror.
I may have made the shading a bit too dark, but I still like the overall effect of it ^^
I had to use 2 songs because the first song is only 2 and a half minutes long and Movie Maker wouldn't let me speed up 4 hours of work fast enough to fit that time, so I added another song instead.
Time taken: Almost 4 hours.
This is the hosts first ever MAP, and they're very excited about it, so go check it out!

It’s finally here! So this was supposed to be a Pride Month special, but as you can see I’m super late because June snuck up on me and I didn’t start this early enough. Even though it’s not June anymore, I hope you still enjoy this wholesome Pride PMV starring my WoF OC’s.
For anyone who isn’t sure, Dawn is a SandWing/RainWing hybrid and Moonseeker is a NightWing and they’re girlfriends. They meet for the first time at Jade Mountain Academy during the current events of the WoF books. They are both placed in the Gold Winglet (Moonseeker is the replacement for Bigtail and Dawn is the replacement for Onyx) and they’re Clawmates (roommates). [And they were roommates…]
Moonseeker is a lesbian and has a huge crush on Dawn from pretty much the moment they meet. Dawn is bi and becomes best friends with Moonseeker from the beginning and later develops feelings for her over the next few months. 6 months into the Academy and Moonseeker accidently confesses her feelings for Dawn and they start dating. 5 years later they get married in the rainforest and each wear heart shaped earrings with a gem that contains the colours of the other.
The PMV shows the time they spent together at Jade Mountain and I hope I portrayed their wholesomeness well enough ^^
The only canon characters in the video are Fatespeaker who is in the first (indoor) shot handing out welcome scrolls to new students, and Queen Glory at the end. The other characters in the video are random dragonets I’ve created for the video but haven’t given any backstories yet. For names I was thinking maybe Cocoa for the MudWing, Pierce for the IceWing and Caramel for the SkyWing.
I tried to draw the backgrounds using only the colours of the lesbian and bi pride flags, but I’ve never been hugely great at colour palettes so most of the caves were just the oranges on the lesbian flag with the other colours scattered around in various places. The background during the wedding is in normal colours because I previously did a speedpaint of that scene and I loved how it came out so I didn’t want to change the colours. I just realised I messed up and there’s a scene where Dawn is holding a basket of normal coloured apples which I coloured before deciding on the flag palette but it’s too late to change that now.
I’ve never been great at drawing backgrounds and you can see which ones I actually put effort into, and which ones I really didn’t, but either way I hope it still looks Ok.
My proportions are off in some scenes; someday I promise I will actually try to study proportions, perspectives and backgrounds properly but apparently today is not that day.
For some reason my dumb brain thought I could edit this together in 2 days… ha, yeah, so naturally it took over a week. I’m so glad I added the lyrics, it looks so much better now!

They're getting married! Queen Glory is in background holding a scroll and officiating the wedding.
For those of you who don't know, these 2 are my WoF OC's. Dawn is a SandWing/RainWing hybrid and Moonseeker is a NightWing. They meet at the Jade Mountain Academy (during the current events of the books) and are clawmates (roomates). 6 months into the Academy, Moonseeker accidently lets slip that she's in love with Dawn and the 2 start dating. 5 years later they finally get married and live together in the rainforest.
Instead of wearing wedding rings, they both wear heart shaped earrings with colours representing the other.
This is my first time drawing wedding veils, but I think they turned out quite nice. Dawn's has little flowers and hearts and Moonseeker's has moons and hearts.
I made the background slightly blurry to both keep the focus on them and to hide the fact I still have no idea what I'm doing with my backgrounds.
I actually drew the sketch about a month ago but only got round to doing the drawing a few days ago.
You may or may not have seen the new post on my community tab about a PMV I'm working on. It's a Dawn X Moonseeker one and will hopefully be done in a week or 2. I wanted to get it done this month but unfortunately I started it too late.

I know I always say this, but everyone did such an amazing job and I couldn’t be prouder to host this gorgeous MAP! I just love the variety of styles and beautiful character designs.
Even though some of these parts are really old (including one of mine) they all still look great and work so well together. It’s also really nice to see how people with older parts have improved since then.
Also side note: part 18 was never finished and the artist may have left since then, but the storyboard they last showed me was so detailed and well-drawn I didn’t want it to go to waste so I put it in the final MAP.
I also wanted to include a different song for the outro but I wasn't really sure what to use, so I'm not really sure if it fits or not, but here we are.
A huge thank you to everyone involved! And a special thank you to Featherpool for taking on so many parts, and to Yuki die Todesgöttin for finishing the final 2 parts!

[Ft Emerald]EmeraldTheDragon2021-06-01 | Gasp, what's this? I actually included the sketch being drawn for once! And for once the proportions actually look right!
I coloured the flag last to add to the suspense ^^ So the flag Emerald is holding is the Ace (Asexual) flag, in case you weren't sure. For anyone wondering, Emerald and I are both Ace ^^
Fun fact! I've actually drawn Emerald wearing a scarf with the Ace colours on it for a few of my previous winter/Christmas videos; well done to anyone who noticed that before ^^
I made my shading lighter than usual. Unfortunately I ended up removing some of the shading on a layer of her chest and gem when I was shading the heart so I had to redo it after the speedpaint was finished, whoops...
The colours come out darker in the speedpaint than the actual drawing, so I recommend looking at the version on Deviantart as it's also a better quality.
I didn't really know what song to use for this. It kind of does and doesn't fit, I don't know, I still like it XD
I'm planning to do a short PMV for Dawn and Moonseeker which will hopefully be done by the end of the month! Unfortunately those MAP parts I did took so long to get finished I had no time to work on anything else and June snuck up on me when I had nothing ready.

Well this took way too long.
Fun fact: for almost a month after uploading the MAP Call, I did absolutely nothing on these parts because my motivation threw itself out the window. And after almost another month of fighting these parts, they're finally done!
That awkward moment when part of the sketch looks better than the finished part XD
Could I have done this as completely PMV? Probably. Did I? No because my dumb brain told me to animate it instead because apparently I like to make myself suffer.
I did the fancy thing where you show the different stages. I also tried doing 'keyframes' which I don't usually do, which is why the first sketch looks all jerky. The reason there's no lineart stage on it's own is because I colour my frames as I go instead of doing all the lineart first and then going back and colouring everything.
My lipsync has improved, but I'm out of practice with animating and a lot of frames have different proportions because completing this was such a battle against myself; I've just been so tired lately. Watching the finished parts, I do like this a lot more now than when I was actually working on it.
How many frames are in this? Somewhere around 100 I think... so of course my dumb brain would tell me to include as much detail as possible for that many frames ;0;
Scene from book 14, but there's no spoiler warning because these parts don't actually spoil anything.
I can't draw sunsets ^^ My favourite part of this is when Snowfall flies in and lands on the cliff.
At some point I will be opening a thumbnail contest for this MAP, I just haven't got round to making the video yet.

Woo it’s here! Thank you all for your patience ^^ This one only took just over a year to complete, which for one of my MAPs is actually very fast!
I present to you another complete WoF MAP, brought to you by 23 amazing artists! This one focuses on Peril, Anemone, Burn and Blister. There was no script so participants were allowed to use any scene they wanted that focused on the specific character in their part. This was originally just going to be a Peril MAP and then I thought the song fitted Anemone quite well too, and then I threw in Burn and Blister because why not.
I’m so honoured to have hosted this beautiful MAP, everyone did a fantastic job and I couldn’t be happier with the finished result. Just look at all those amazing styles and designs!
This was also my very first time hosting a thumbnail contest. Every single entry was so creative and it was just so hard to choose a winner. There was even some traditional art, which is really cool. A few people remade their entries but I decided to include both. Most entries were submitted to YouTube (some have been deleted though) but a few were sent on other sites.
Please don’t be upset if you didn’t win the contest, I loved every single entry!
Due to technical difficulties, part 25 was unable to be fully completed, however the last WIP I saw of it was so beautiful I decided to include it anyway. At the end of the part was a very loose sketch of a snake curling onto the screen, so I went and finished the animation on that part. [The snake was animated by me but the rest of that beautiful part belongs to FrostFire Fur]
The intro was too short to include names so I made a fancy outro instead ^^

Tried to make it spooky ^^ This won't win but I like it anyway. I'm so happy with Whiteout's eye!
So this MAP is kind of an AU where the dragons are designed as puppets and honestly all the character designs and the overall aesthetic of the MAP are super creative!
The word 'Dollhouse' is blue because it's supposed to be Arctic's stuffing, and the torn fabric it's on has Arctic's colours... I don't know how to draw stuffing properly so it just looks weird.
They have 5 fingers! What is this witchcraft? There's 4 layers of darker shading and 1-2 layers for light shading.
Sorry if this gives anyone eyestrain: this is 3 hours of work condensed into about 4 minutes so the video's faster than I thought it would be. Also I was constantly having to look at the character references so that's what keeps flashing during the line-art and colouring stages. (If you just want to see the finished drawing, skip to 3:50)
Time taken: Around 4 hours (just doing the sketch took about 1 hour)
Drawn using: Paint.net 4.0.6 Recorded using: Debut Video Capture Software

Find me here: Deviantart: deviantart.com/emeraldthedragon21[WoF & OC] I remade some old MAP parts [2019 - 2021]EmeraldTheDragon2021-04-19 | So this is what I’ve actually been working on since I finished my 2k special. I decided to remake some of my old MAP parts as most of these are close to being finished. 6 remade MAP parts for 4 different MAP’s.
All of these parts are for my MAP’s (which are currently closed). The timing of the scenes in the old and new ones is a bit off because I couldn’t find what the original timing was. Also they aren’t all in the order that I remade them: I decided to put the WoF ones together first even though the Whiteout parts were the last ones I remade.
I thought it would be nice to include the old and new parts separately and then together side by side ^^
It’s funny how you don’t really notice the improvement you’ve made until you go back and look at your older work. It’s always great to look back and see how far you’ve come; you can see such a huge difference in your work in even just a year!
_____________________________________________________________________ [WoF] Sweet But Psycho MAP: youtube.com/watch?v=CMPhXVHjY3c Original part: youtube.com/watch?v=pt2VuZoAq84 Song: Sweet But Psycho by Ava Max Characters: Peril, IceWing prisoner, Queen Scarlet.
So the only thing that I actually changed in this one was the background. I actually still quite like the original animation itself and just didn’t have the motivation to redo the whole thing. The scene is Peril fighting a random IceWing in Scarlet’s arena. _____________________________________________________________________ [WoF] Whiteout Hurts Like Hell MAP: youtube.com/watch?v=wMNifUeMHdg Original parts: youtube.com/watch?v=qhlxJr-7jQw youtube.com/watch?v=K1hZUCatB8U Song: Hurts Like Hell by Tommee Profitt (feat. Fleurie) Characters: Whiteout, Foeslayer, Queen Diamond, Arctic, Fathom, Darkstalker, Clearsight.
My editing and shading have improved a lot since I made the originals. I’m especially pleased about the remade scene with Whiteout’s jaw extending. Pause at random points in part 27 when Whiteout shakes her head to see some funky smear frames!
The funny thing is I almost didn’t redo part 27 because I remembered it looking better. I decided to just remake the first scene with Arctic and compared it with the original and then thought “woah, yeah I’d better carry on with this,” because wow did this look much better.
The scenes are Foeslayer taking off her enchanted earring and getting captured by Queen Diamond while Whiteout watches in horror, and Darkstalker enchanting Arctic to remove his spell on Whiteout. _____________________________________________________________________ Wildcard OC MAP: youtube.com/watch?v=3lRK__jPDzw Original part: youtube.com/watch?v=f0lmWxTFng4&t=0s Song: Wildcard by KSHMR. Characters: Dawn, Moonseeker.
Fun fact! This was actually the very first time I drew/used my WoF OCs Dawn and Moonseeker. Ironically I finished the remade part exactly a year later.
So this is them meeting for the first time at Jade Mountain Academy. I’ve put them both in the Gold Winglet during the current events of the books: Moonseeker is the replacement for Bigtail and Dawn is the replacement for Onyx. They both share a cave [Oh my god - they were roommates] Moonseeker has a huge crush on Dawn from practically the moment they met. _____________________________________________________________________ I Found PMV OC MAP: youtube.com/watch?v=EDU_LJl6HcA Original parts: youtube.com/watch?v=T2WKJExrvls youtube.com/watch?v=CbHW8dvwwqc Song: I Found by Amber Run (pitched by me) Characters: Emerald, Frost, Flame.
Fun fact! The original 2 parts were my very first attempts at tweening, back when I had absolutely no idea what I was doing! I’ve come a long way since then ^^
Why is Emerald sad? No particular reason: sometimes life gets you down and it can take time to pull yourself back together, but sometimes the smallest things can help cheer you up.
Most of you probably know the story of Frost and Flame but here are the basics for anyone who doesn’t. When Flame was a kid he got possessed by an evil spirit which turns him into a dark version of himself called ‘Inferno’ against his will, when he’s scared or angry. Inferno is a monster who likes to injure and kill others, while Flame is a gentle soul and would never want to harm anyone. Frost and Flame are in love but Flame is always constantly terrified that he will hurt her. But no matter what happens Frost is always there to support him and never blames him for what Inferno does.

For almost 2 weeks after reading The Dangerous Gift I just couldn’t think of a suitable song for it, but then I happened to listen to this one again and everything just clicked. Of course scenes are missing but I included the ones that fit best.
Not a rule, but if someone in the comments says they haven’t read/finished the book yet, please don’t reply to them with a ton of spoilers, that’s not nice. Also please don’t tell me that I’ve spoiled the events of the book for you, I have included multiple warnings.
If you also had the idea to make a MAP of this book with the same song, you are welcome to do so, I don’t mind (just don’t steal my art/script)
Please read the rules, it’s not as bad as it looks. Beginners are welcome to join, don’t be afraid to ask!
Rules: 1. You MUST have read Wings of Fire: Book 14: The Dangerous Gift. If you haven’t read it yet, then don’t click on the script. 2. This map is SCRIPTED, so please follow it. If your part doesn’t follow the script, then I will ask you to redo it. I recommend reading the script for the parts directly before and after yours as some carry on from the previous ones. 3. There are CHARACTER DESIGNS for some characters so please follow those too. You can simplify the scale patterns if you want to, but please use the right colours. Some designs may contain ‘notes’ under them so read carefully. If there is no reference for a character you need to use, then you may use your own design. 4. Can be AMV or PMV: whichever you feel fits your part best. For PMV please try to add tweening. 5. Add your own music. If you can’t that’s fine, I’ll add it to the finished map anyway. Length of parts is shown in the video, so try to get them as close as possible. Green screening is also allowed: just please make your video a little bit longer than it should be as this makes the editing a bit easier. 6. You must draw a background (don’t just leave it blank) If you want me to check the location/time of day in your part then just ask. Please make your part fullscreen. 7. DON’T ADD LYRICS. (They are only included in the script to give you a feel of the part) 8. Don’t add your channel watermark: I will do that for you. Program watermarks like Flipaclip are fine! 9. Max 2 parts each. 10. Deadline will be set for 3 months after all parts are taken and extensions will be given if needed. If you need to drop out, don’t be afraid to tell me: I won’t be mad or disappointed, I just need to know! (You are also not required to tell me WHY you need to drop out as it may be a personal reason) If the deadline arrives, I will give you extra time and reminders. But if you don’t respond to either I will have to kick you out. 11. Please don’t take it personally if you don’t get a part: you will still be offered the chance to be a backup! 12. Not a rule but if you have a part marked as ‘[vision]’ in the script, I may or may not be adding a pale shimmering border around the edges of those parts. (I haven’t decided yet) 13. If you’ve read the rules, write ‘One ring’ in your comment. This is the first part of the code. There is a second part you need to find to prove you’ve read everything: you must have the full code to get a part!

Well it's been almost a month since the book came out so I decided it was time to make some art ^^
Poor Blue. Who else got chills reading this chapter? There's nothing spectacular about the shading, I just really wanted to draw this.
The book itself was excellent! It certainly didn't hold back on the disturbing stuff. Those Jerboa chapters are the most twisted thing I've read in this series and that's saying a lot.
Even though it lacks the action that the previous 3 had, it's still such a fantastic book with what I personally feel has the best character development so far (Snowfall)
Also wow do I love Mink!
Time taken: 1 hour 20 minutes.
Looking back the outro song seems out of place after the speedpaint XD
If someone in the comments says they haven't read the book yet, please don't reply to them with a ton of spoilers, that's not nice...

Ooo traditional art! Did a pencil drawing for the contest to be a bit different. This probably won't win, but that's Ok because I still enjoyed making this ^^
Gosh it's been absolutely AGES since I've done a colour pencil drawing like this, I totally forgot what I was doing to start with. I think my last traditional drawing was a tonal drawing back in July 2020???
This was such a gorgeous character design, it inspired me to finally do a colour drawing for the first time in a few years.
The pose is very simple because I wanted to focus more on the colours/details. Each different colour had multiple different shades blended together, usually around 4 or so. The hardest part was trying to get the different hair colours to blend together but I'm really happy with the outcome.
The colours are more vibrant on the actual drawing but unfortunately my camera is really old so the quality is a little off. Also that is the full picture: I accidentally drew the wing and horns a bit too close to the edge of the paper. I probably won't do another one of these for a while though, and I'm not taking requests, sorry.
Drawn with Crayola colour pencils. (The watermark was added digitally but the rest was hand-drawn on paper)

As you can see I'm sticking to my tradition of being late with these.
Ok but seriously, 2,105 SUBSCRIBERS?!?!??! OMG ;0; It was only a few months ago that I reached 1K which I'm still in shock about, WHERE DID YOU ALL COME FROM?!?!
Thank you to everyone who's supported my channel, you're all so kind to me and I really appreciate you all. I know I'm bad at commenting and I usually reply with 'thank you' but I really mean it. Whether you've been here from the beginning or only found me last week, I'm extremely grateful to you all, you're all awesome ^^
So here's something wholesome as a thank you. It took longer than I thought it would because of the amount of frames and also because I've been really busy and tired but here it is at last! I also had a go at drawing an almost line-less Emerald at the start there ^^
Treated you to some front facing dragons. Dawn's face actually looks pretty good from the front. I know the snout makes no sense when compared with the side view but just go with it.
If anyone's a little confused, Frost is throwing some gold confetti and Moonseeker did a drawing of a gold star and is pointing at the screen because she thinks you're a star ^^
This is nothing like the original meme as my brain couldn't process the timing and I wanted this to be animated instead of PMV for a change. I tried to keep the proportions consistent but there's a few frames where the proportions got yeeted out the window and they also have slightly muscular shoulders. My brain completely shut down trying to figure out how to draw Dawns arms, and Moonseeker's wings were painful to do.
I ironically made the background before starting on the actual frames, not that I had a clue what I was doing. The zooming part is a bit offbeat but that was the best I could do.
For anyone who wants to know, there's 127 different frames at roughly 0.05 seconds (20 fps) which is why it looks smoother than my previous animations.
Characters: Emerald (green dragon) Frost (blue cat with wings) Moonseeker (NightWing) Dawn (SandWing/RainWing hybrid)
Woah it's almost time for WoF book 14!! Though seeing as I have to order mine, mine may be late so please don't give me any spoilers, thanks.

Check out my 'WoF videos' playlist: youtube.com/watch?v=VkxWnCPnP34&list=PLCt2WISdo4DgUIgvrqZAVL1dBxb7EHJ2q -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In case anyone was wondering what I've been doing for the last month ^^
Sorry about not making a New Years video, but as I'd already made an animation reel in October to celebrate 6 years of YouTube, I didn't see much point in making another one so soon (I'll probably do one next year though) I hope you're all doing Ok ^^
Well I hope it was worth the wait! Despite how complex this was I actually really enjoyed making it. I'm trying to work on my shading and backgrounds because I know I need to improve them. I'm still not sure if I got the perspectives and shading directions right, but it's an improvement ^^
So this is for a scripted Wings of Fire MAP based on Book 6. For my parts I got the History Cave fire and that scene where Moon and Qibli question Onyx and Moon discovers why she can't read her mind. (The little SandWing asking to hold the necklace is Ostrich)
In that first scene with the SandWings on the rocks, Onyx looks like a gang leader XD
Also I just want to be clear: the fire in part 16 IS NOT FRAME BY FRAME ANIMATION: it's 3 separate fire frames with an effect called 'Wave' added to them to make them move like that. (I'm not that good at animating fire)
Moon's design is based on the one in the MAP call, but with some added colours for more details. The floating 'thought bubbles' were also inspired by the MAP call art. (The black spirally ones are for the dragons whose minds she can't read)
This is the hosts first MAP and they're very excited about it The song choice fits the book perfectly and I think the MAP has some real potential, we just need some more people to join!
And before anyone asks, I don't have time to join anymore MAP's at the moment. I need to get started on my 2K special! I'm traditionally late as usual XD

And to anyone who doesn't celebrate Christmas, I wish you happy holidays and hope you still have a wonderful winter ^^
I made something wholesome ^^ It's a bit rushed and some parts are really fast to keep up with the music, so you'll probably need to pause on some scenes.
Emerald is wearing a scarf which I forgot to add in the lipsync part XD Yes that pattern is on purpose ^^
Emerald is building a snow-dragon, decorating a tree and wearing a Santa hat. Frost and Flame are having a snowball fight (Frost cheats at snowball fights), Flame is getting tangled in Christmas lights and making snow angels (which are probably drawn completely wrong XD) Dawn surprises Moonseeker with some mistletoe, they have fun with tinsel and exchange gifts.
I don't know how to draw tinsel but I quite like how it looks on the dragons. I originally wanted all the characters to have a lipsync scene but I only had time to do Emerald. Don't ask about the background/border I have no idea what I was doing XD
Characters: Emerald (green dragon) Flame (orange cat with wings) Frost (blue cat with wings) Dawn (SandWing/RainWing hybrid) Moonseeker (NightWing)
Also I know there's a lot of new people here and I just want to point out that Flame is MALE (everyone else in the video is female though) He and the other males of his kind have these fancy 'eyelash' things that they can set alight to help them see in the dark because they have poor night vision. However this takes a lot of skill and is quite dangerous and many never attempt to try this trick. [Ooo new character lore!]

I don't know if their ship name is supposed to be Sunlow, Willdew or Window XD
No spoiler warning because it doesn't really spoil anything other than the fact that they're a couple but the title already tells you that (but for anyone who's not sure this is from book 13)
Also just to be clear, Willow leaving at the end is just supposed to be her going home, not actually leaving Sundew, don't worry she will come back!
Oh gosh why are LeafWings so hard to draw, just all the details, wow??? But I'm so happy with how it turned out, it looks even more expressive than I thought it would! I honestly didn't think this would be done before the weekend.
I made it a 'short pmv' instead of an original meme because I didn't think anyone would do this, but you know what, if any does want to make their own with other characters, go ahead!
"So how much green do you want in the video?" Me: Yes
So as proud I am of the background and the leaves, I think I went a bit overboard with the green and Willow kind of blends in a bit at times, but hey it's too late now XD Also the line-art may seem a bit wobbly or thin at times because some parts were green-screened twice. Lyrics may be a little bit out of time but I tried.
Starring: Sundew, Willow and a smol jade frog.

Yep another one ^^
This one had a colour palette so I only did 1 layer of shading this time so it's less detailed than my previous one.
As you could use any characters, I chose Albatross, Burn and Hawthorn to have a variety between the story arcs. Also I thought Hawthorn would be appropriate because of his love of tea!
Really happy with Burn especially because front-facing dragons are so hard to draw.

Wow am I happy with that shading! This MAP has so many gorgeous character designs.
I know the proportions of the arms are a bit off, one's a lot thicker than the other XD
I originally planned to add Clearsight, Fathom, Indigo and Arctic in the background but I decided that would be overkill, and honestly I really like how it turned out with just Darkstalker.
There's a version with and without the text in case the host prefers to add their own ^^
So I accidently used the wrong program for recording and found out it worked out much better than what I usually used; it didn't freeze once!
I'm working on a short PMV and am nearly done with the editing, so hopefully that will be out soon :D

Ok but this is probably my favourite map part so far, it came out so well!
As usual I hadn't planned on joining another map, but then I saw the character designs and woah did they reel me in fast! I actually got hooked in by Winter's design but I asked for a Peril part because this was the only one I could visualize in my head.
Some of the scenes are a little fast so you may need to pause them.
The editing got ridiculously complicated because the characters are supposed to have a colour outline. I thought I had an option that added that but it only worked on one side and I could only get it to surround the whole character if it was super blurry, so INSTEAD I had to have 2 sets of frames. 1 set with the outline, 1 set without, apply the same movements to each and constantly edit and layer them together until they were in the right order. So that's why the outlines are a bit wonky and have tiny shades of other colours. How nice ;0;
There was no mention of shading in the rules so I left that out because this was already complicated enough already.
Spoiler for 1 & 5 because Kestrel dies in book 1 but it's book 5 when Sunny tells Peril about it. Also that's supposed to be waves not flames covering her but the colour pallet for this part said no blue.
I wasn't sure which lyrics you wanted to be 'spoken' so I just did the ones with Sunny talking.
I don't own the songs or designs. Peril's design belongs to Izy’s Animations.

I know it's a little repetitive, but I still like it. The reason it looks smoother than my other stuff is because the frames were played faster. This kind of turned into lip-sync practice.
Also oof, front-facing dragons are a nightmare ;0;
Before anyone says anything about Foeslayer, yes I have read Winter Turning.
The background was supposed to be the 3 moons among some clouds but they kind of got all fuzzy when I started fading them in and out.
No outro because the song didn't really fit after watching this, also I forgot to add it when I was editing XD

I think I actually spent half an hour just drawing the scales XD
I'm really proud of the eye!
The scales on her face were meant to be round/oval but my laptop messed me up and most of them came out with straight edges...
I changed the size so that I didn't end up with half the drawing being just background.
I didn't know what song to use, and I'm not sure if it really fits the drawing but I like the song and I don't think I've used it yet??

I can’t believe I started this channel on the 2nd of October 2014 (I know this premieres on the 3rd but that’s because unfortunately I won’t be active on the 2nd)
It’s been a long journey and it was worth every moment! I’ve improved so much, learned so much and made some truly wonderful friends ^^
If you’ve been here since near the beginning, thank you so much for sticking with me for so long: you guys are all awesome and we’ve all come such a long way together! And to those of you who found me more recently and decided to stay, THANK YOU! You’ve all been tremendously kind to me, whether you left me nice comments, said you liked my videos or even told me that one of my videos improved your day or inspired you; it’s such a wonderful feeling to know that so many people like my content and that this year you all felt that I was worthy to reach 1K. Thank you all for your love and support for the last 6 years, I look forward to making new content for you all!
And throughout the entire 6 years, my name has always been EmeraldTheDragon, and it’s a name I can be proud of. To any beginners watching this, know that I too started off as a complete beginner and slowly worked my way up: it’s taken me a very long time to get to where I am now, but it’s worth it! You often improve without even realising it, and then suddenly you look back at your oldest videos and think ‘wow look at that! I’ve improved so much!’ Keep going and one day you’ll be the one with the amazingly smooth complicated animations and maybe even reach 1K someday! We all work at our own pace so don’t rush yourself: sure some people improve faster than others but it’s not a race and if you have the patience and determination you too will make some incredible things! And in the meantime, have fun and enjoy the things you make! Learn as you go and don’t be afraid to try out new things. There are also some truly lovely people here and you’ll make lots of new friends who will support you. I wish all of you all the best on your journey ^^
So to celebrate, here’s a compilation of some of my finest animations from the last 6 years: a mix of MAP parts, memes and other things! There’s a ‘year counter’ in the top left corner from October to October of each of the 6 years. (Sometimes you can’t see it because of white/light backgrounds)
This channel originally started off as a ‘Warriors’ channel before I created my own OC’s and eventually in April 2018 I made my first Wings of Fire video. I don’t make Warriors videos anymore but I still owe the series for getting me started on animating ^^
Of course this isn’t every single video on my channel and most of these are just very short snippets from them but I tried to show as many as possible. Also my last 2 map parts aren’t in there because I made this video first because I didn’t think I’d have anything else finished in time to add in. If you’re feeling brave enough you’re free to go back and watch my incredibly old videos XD
Some of my old animations actually still look pretty good; I also noticed that I really liked doing lots of spinning animations, huh Sorry about all the random watermarks popping up and changing size all over the place, there’s nothing I can do about that XD

Why do her claws look weird? Because she doesn't have any. (The dark marks are scars) If you haven't read the book I won't spoil what happened but it's quite gruesome.
I wonder if anyone ever told her what happened to Lagoon and Albatross...
I think that's the best walk cycle yet! I tried to work on the anatomy but I'm not quite sure if it's right.
When I started working on this, I completely forgot how to draw seawing scales XD

Find me here: Deviantart: deviantart.com/emeraldthedragon21[SPEEDPAINT] The Greatest Treasure Of All (backstory in description)EmeraldTheDragon2020-09-24 | A smol Emerald hatches while her parents smile down at her. I finally made some designs for her parents! Meet her mother, Grace (left) and her father, Flare (right). Like Emerald both of them are fire breathing dragons, but none of them are completely immune to fire.
(Please note: None of them are WoF dragons and they exist in another world)
Emerald was named for her shiny green scales and the 2 emerald gems on her scales. Lots of dragons will hatch in clutches with several siblings, but it is also not unusual for a dragon to lay just one egg: Emerald has no siblings.
While it is not unusual for dragons to hatch with different colouring to their parents, it is incredibly rare for a dragon to hatch with gems attached to them and only happens every few hundred years. Some dragons wear jewellery or will add gems into the spaces between their scales, but Emerald’s gems are fused to her scales and could not be removed without seriously injuring or killing her as she has a small one located on her forehead and a large one on her chest.
How this phenomenon occurs is unknown, but there have been old stories about other dragons who hatched from their eggs with a jewel attached somewhere on their bodies…
When a dragon mother lays her egg(s) she will instinctively know what kind of nest to make for it. Some dragons will seek out all sorts of treasure and gems to heap into a pile for their eggs as was the case with Emerald’s egg. Other dragons will simply collect things like heated rocks, snow, shells, soft moss or even just super crunchy leaves if that’s what they desire. It depends on the type of dragon and their abilities: for example, ‘lava dragons’ (who are completely immune to all types of heat and fire) normally lay their eggs inside volcanoes.
There were several emeralds on her parents treasure hoard, right by her egg. What actually happened is unknown but it is thought that the gems ‘called’ to Emerald as she grew inside her egg and she called back to them, and somehow the gems grew on her scales with her.
As she grows, Emerald discovers she has the ability known as ‘Gem-Seer.’ When looking at an emerald gem, if she casts her mind towards it, she can connect to other emeralds and see through them to what is happening in another location anywhere in the world. She is also able to sense the location of any emeralds within a 10 mile radius, even if they’re underground or at the bottom of the sea. Of course for her, this only works with emeralds and not other types of gems such as diamonds or rubies.
In the rare cases where other dragons hatched with various gems fused to them, they would also have had the same abilities corresponding to the type of jewel they had. Emerald also discovers that if she tries hard enough, she can connect to an emerald and see the past memories of other Gem-Seer’s. However she only tries this once after witnessing the memories of the brutal death of the dragon she connected to.
When Emerald was old enough to leave her home and travel to a new mountain range to live, she would still often visit her parents. She would also keep an eye on them by connecting to the emerald jewels in their treasure hoard to check if they were Ok. Of course neither of her parents would be able to respond/communicate with her using the gems as neither of them are Gem-Seers so it only works one-way.
At some point I’m planning to make the ‘Dynasty meme’ which will show more of Emerald’s backstory, specifically how she met Frost and Flame. When I’ll actually start and finish that, I don’t know XD
