Wings of Fire: Prince Arctic Sketch Dump

Description

I'm sorry for the Wings of Fire spam but I just really love this book series XD
And as you may have guessed, my favorite character is Prince Arctic.

The first picture is Arctic and Foeslayer flying together, probably around when they first met.

Second pic is when Arctic attended the Seawing welcoming party and was wearing necklaces and rings.

Third pic is Arctic with a baby Whiteout. In the book it says he treats her coldly without thinking of her feelings, but to be honest, that's likely due to his upbringing. In Winter Turning it is mentioned that Icewings don't show their dragonets much affection, they don't even hug them. Arctic cared about Whiteout in the only way he knew how, and it is mentioned that he doesn't want to leave the Nightwing tribe because of his love for her and Foeslayer.

The last two pics are just random sketches, one of Arctic using his magic, and then some expressions down below.

Anyways let me talk about why I love this character because yeah:

He has a really tragic story, he wasn't happy in his own tribe, and when he finally met a dragon who really understood him and cared about him.....instead of running away with her to a secluded island somewhere like he wanted to, he ended up being taken back to her tribe and wound up in a miserable life there too. No friends, no family, with everyone suspicious of him or trying to use him only for his powers. Plus, the Nightwings and the Icewings begun a war against each other, and many of the dragons he used to know likely died. To top it all off, one of his children hates him, and the other is a 'special needs' dragonet whom he doesn't understand.
The only thing he has in this new life is his mate, Foeslayer. She's the only good thing left for him. Throughout the Darkstalker book there are many instances where he is shown to still care deeply about her, even though using his animus magic has made him more short tempered and irritable.

I really feel sad for him, his whole life ended up being one bad thing after the other. :<

Nice drawings, though the wings in Panel 2 are kinda small and messed up, overall, nice anatomy and creativity spread throughout the drawing itself.
