All I could think about when you said that Jazz was your favorite was "Ya like Jazz?"

[@thehyperscientist1961]

Some random interesting fruits for thought that came to me: - Minnow became a healer to have a role, to contribute to her village. Even though they're not related by blood, the dragons of the village are tight-knit, just like siblings - Always meeting new dragons. Always going to new places. Always experiencing new things. Instead of having a RainWing's constantly-shifting scales, Jazz just keeps going with his ever-changing lifestyle openly, without a care in the world - Her very name being a nod to "impure" (jasper is a mix of several different minerals), a trait that never helped Jasper's temper. So what? Dragons avoided her anyways for being a hybrid. Underneath all that, Jasper hoped she'd be free of the prejudice - finding somewhere she'd be accepted just as she were. If only there was such a place... As for my creative process, I always do the character's background first, then come up with how they'd actually look (I'm kinda out of my depth for any sort of drawing 😅) P.S. The colour palettes for your new OCs are INSANE! I love Jasper's vibrant stripes and contrasting markings, especially 🤩

[@wolfiiplayz6288]

THIS COMMENT MADE ME REALIZE JUST HOW FITTING JASPER'S NAME IS

[@stopmotionart8431]

1. jasper is tiny insane tiger 2. HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO WRITE THIS?!?!

[@mshill7445]

Minnow's Color Palette is just about the same if not exactly alike Alu's

[@doodledudes3171]

Jazz reminds me of an altitude map in the best way possible

[@AudreyE_wof]

The gradient on Jazz’s torso is to die for!!😁😁😁I also love the little circles on Minnow too. It looks like that design that almost got third in your Koi contest.

[@user-jz8oc6qz4z]

I know, I know, its now a What If episode, but I have a few ideas! 1. What if Moonwatcher didn't have her abilities, or if she hatched in the volcano? 2. What if Cricket could be hive minded? 3. What if Luna and Blue never met/didn't know they were half siblings? Anyway, hope you can find some inspiration! (this is a repost of a coment from an older video fyi)

[@I-Need-Therapy-Now]

The designs are so cute! My favorite is Minnow, she’s SO PRETTY

[@kimberlycoachkmac1128]

I know right!💙🧡💙🧡

[@Sunny_dogz]

I cannot even begin to explain my level of just-pure awe stricken amazement at your level of skill! Your so utterly talented, I honestly wish I had your level of pure skill to draw, and speak, and have ideas that spring and pop! Gotta say Cypress! Your amazing me every single time you draw, your voice is so soothing! Thank you so so! Much for sharing your artwork with all of us!! 🥰🐉

[@silvertail5494]

These drawings are fabulous i love your art!

[@hummingbirdwof]

The snake was a checkered garden snake, I agree very cute and they make great pets too!

[@artisticdragonborn]

Nice knowledge on animals! 🎉

[@moffatzxr]

Nice I agree to that snake is very very cute

[@hummingbirdwof]

I actually have a snake of my own so it’s fun when I find someone els that likes snakes@@moffatzxr

[@startwilight1895]

Man, I love how interesting and unique you character designs are. They're seriously so interesting to look at

[@lexrat4733]

It feels like every single time you upload it motivates me to get up and draw something :). Ur dragons are just so prettyyyyy

[@Euchloe_Lotta]

Awww! They’re all so cute 😊 Jaspers design is probably my fave:) it’s just really nice! Amazing video like always ❤

[@ChaoticWatcher]

:o you have definitely given me some oc designs lol I dont draw WoF dragons, never truly got into it, so I just go with the flow and add whatever I want, lately I've gotten bored of the usual things I'd add, and now I've gotten some new designs I could draw!! Thank you for yet another amazing video, I honestly can't beileve I've been here as long as I have, I think its been about... 3yrs? It's been awhile and I'm here for the ride! Thank you for all that you do

[@TheOneAndOnlyBlueMilk]

Such colorful and unique designs, I’m in love with them! Great job!

[@michellelopez2170]

Jasper is my favorite! Her backstory reminds me of Leo Valdez. Minnow is adorable too.

[@yamininidumolu5850]

DO YOU READ- you like the one about Jason coooool so do I

[@SandpiperArtsofWOF]

YES WE HAVE FORMED A CULT FIND THE HOT coldcoldcoldcoldcoldcoldcoldcokdcoldcoldcoldcoldcoldcoldcoldcoldleovaldezcoldcoldcoldcoldcold

[@sofiazapatafigueroa85]

Omg!,!!!!!!! Percy Jackson fan????.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😮😮😮😮😮

[@artisticdragonborn]

You are getting absolutely pro at this! You did so well on the colors and even the color palettes were drawn and set up so neatly and nice! And man, who doesn't love a good OC? I'm loving your stuff! ❤❤❤❤🎉

[@gabrielapena3063]

I like how Jazzes legs look like those long pants!Keep up the good work:}

[@Syd_LovesToDraw]

All of these designs are so beautiful! I love their backstories, patterns, and colors, especially Jasper’s!

[@BJones-g8h]

ok, my favorite was definitely jazz!!! I honestly love the bell-bottom feet. They really helped the design come together!!! usually when I make ocs, I choose a hybrid, and then start. I haven't tried a mood-board or color palette before, actually. as I draw the circles and basic shapes, I try to think what features and colors of both tribes would go together and NOT look like a hot mess. anyways, keep going Cyprus!!! i love these vids!

[@Chloeandclem_]

its simply stunning! STUNNING!!!

[@SketchiDragonWatchesVids]

These are so beautiful I love them! Now I want to draw some dragons

[@BumbleBea29]

Jazz’s design is so beautiful! I love it! Awesome job Cyprus.

[@That.one.person.in.the.corner]

DelIsIoUs (I will be adding more to this comment the more I watch) Also first! OH MY GOSH I LOVE JAZZ I mean I love all of them but Jazz MY FAVORITE And so I continue to love your style And now I am going to go draw dragons! Hope you have an awesome week as well Cyprus!

[@BlaxyPlaysStuff]

I LOVE YOUR NEW OCS! The character designs and backstories are awesome! You really do inspire me to draw dragons. Hope you enjoy my gift that will be posted next Sunday (June 25th)! I drew Cyprus (only the headshot) and I'm pretty proud of it! I hope you love my fanart!

[@pigeonofthenorth]

The art and colors are so cool :D

[@starsfluff]

I think I like Jazz the best, his coloring is just so bright and unique.

[@lem0nbell]

I love your designs, you are a good character designer! I especially love how you added the circles oc color on Minnow, it makes her look gorgeous

[@zoe-silverlight]

These new character designs looks AMAZING. Can't wait for Artfight~~

[@autumnschwarz898]

Personally, I start with doodling out a few sketches and then I add accessories that inspire their back stories. Example; my oc Emerald’s horn ring inspired her twin sister, Sapphire, who has the other one. Those both came from her late mother. Also, I might not color a dragon until they’re broken in, so I can get ideas about their family and such. Also, these three are SO cute. Personally, I like Minnow the most, her bubble design is adorable! I always forget about little things like that; those make such a big difference but make a big difference!

[@yamininidumolu5850]

I do that too. I’m making three dragons so I use the same process

[@redfangtherainwing122]

The snake for jaspers ref is a red sided garter snake, pretty common and live in California

[@T0AST2012]

you know what could be fun if cyprus designed a whole family atleast parents and the sibling

[@briangilbert9871]

I love jasper so much! She is so BEAUTIFUL

[@vinceadreani]

✨DELICIOUS✨ charcater designs

[@harpsong2274]

This is awesome! I look forward to all of your videos, and I especial loved the What If series.

[@seashelltheseawing]

Jasper looks like she could break down at any moment

[@_Asha_The_Skywing_]

I loved all of these dragon's so much. Can you please do another ones of these, please. My favorite one was, Jasper- the way you took the design and beauty from the snake omg it was so good.

[@-_Nifi_-]

Idea: We give you three words, you make a dragon based off them. I’ll start: Potato, medic, mud

[@dragonartz3207]

Can't wait to see the references of Deviantart! Jazz is my favorite, I think.

[@Hidden_One13]

:0 all the designs are beautiful!! Also yay!! My fan art was featured!!

[@user-be3ui5si4q]

Oh my gosh- I love Jazz’s design and character in general!! All these ocs are a joy to just look at!!! Love your designs!! ❤✨

[@NOTeris_xD]

The queen has the best ideas. ❤❤❤

[@JadeDaFuzzyWuzzy]

They look adorable I love them

[@ZamboniBoi]

[@nurinfoxly]

[@monicagarcia-qb3nq]

[@Winged_pawzz]

Your art style >>>

[@DarkstarTheBackgroundCharacter]

Great arts! I love your designs!

[@TheSillyFoX06]

I headcanon Jazz’s voice as Puss in Boots’ 😎

[@charlottezagari3680]

Minnow reminds me of an old oc I had which was like this but more teal looking, but they has similar bubble patterns and cream colours on it :D

[@TheEmpathDragon]

We need another wof with food

[@R0sewings_da_dwagon]

Wow this is amazing 😍

[@Vinn578]

1:38 yay, a coffee character

[@deanratzlaff2700]

Your Jasper OC is so cool, the horns just make Jasper look awesome

[@dull_demon4717]

depends on character, but i usually design a character and then do backstory. usually end up thinking of quirks or personality traits as i draw 'em.

[@ssigmaste]

These are amazing designs

[@user-gl4gq9jj8f]

YOOO YOUR ON MY ARTFIGHT TEAM THIS YEAR

[@dragonfly_art]

Love the designs!

[@Ronnie408]

Amazing designs!

[@aqwek]

ive been writing a book for the last three years and Minnow and Jasper are the names of two of the main characters friends lol.

[@Pax-gb4fv]

“Do you like Jazzz?” Yes yes I do XD

[@user-mh4jh4yf3r]

Your art is amazing!

[@WannabeArtist55]

Soo Jasper is a person with ADHD in WOF basically. I love her so much though! Shes just like me…

[@BananaV.SPickle-wv4ew]

Your my favourite KZbinr Cyprus!!! Probably the best KZbinr on KZbin! So since I love you so much may you give me a favour? Can you design Clarisight for me? She’s a silkwing. Here is a small bit of her story I wrote: When Clarisight hatched she was like any other silkwing dragonet. Her father had been taken to bloodworm hive and her mother died due to a hivewing sting. ( She worked for Cricket’s family). Clarisight leaned at the moment she hatched she hated hivewings!!! So over the years she made friends with Blue Luna Io and Swordtail. She had deep blue and purple scales and purple eyes. She talked back to the hivewing guards and said no most of the time. You don’t want to know how many times she ended up on misbehaviour’s way!!!

[@Mossy-Creations]

I gotta make sure to attack you this year! Those designs are amazing, possibly a mass attack on them?

[@crestedgeckoart6827]

Ya like jazz? Sorry i had to love all the designs! Also the kind of snake was a California red sided garter snake some of my fave snakes!

[@topazdrake42]

had the idea of a mudwing-seawing hybrid named crayfish come to mind

[@VizieTheMurderDrone_Therian]

I'll be waiting to see ur art their Cyprus! Cause ur art is so amazing! (I just joined ArtFight so I only have one of ALL my characters posted on my ArtFight Account)😄

[@SaoirseChan777]

Minnow literally has my FAVORITE COLORS like my EXACT FAVORITE COLORS! (did you read my mind 🤔)

[@reneehicks7412]

To be completely honest I would ask Cypress to do an oc for me, but I shouldn't lol

[@moffatzxr]

Jasper design is my favourite I love it and the eyes it look so cute I don’t think I could do it her colour is beautiful I think hers is definitely A vipers colour

[@PaintbrushRAH]

Awesome ^^

[@paytonaskew1230]

hi Cypress! hope youre having a good day! btw that snake is called a san fransisco garter snake.

[@ariannay766]

watching you make ocs makes me want to revamp my wings of fire ocs.. my main one is Spark, he's a SkyWing who deserts the army very early in his carreer as a soldier

[@Velosdracs]

Woahhh, i love jasper!

[@constellationscreations]

Oh my gosh, these designs are stunning! I love them so much. If I have the chance to, definitely going to shoot some attacks your way. My artfight is constellationart !

[@yamininidumolu5850]

I’m making three dragons: Oracle, Imperial, and Perception. Oracle is a SeaWing NightWing hybrid who lives in the sea. She’s a prophet, but keeps it secret. She used her powers for services, mostly. When her tribe found out, they were horrified and banished her. Imperial is a NightWing SandWing who lives in the desert. She can make any dragon’s power stronger. She used it for wars, but decided she worked for no one and strikes out on her own. She later met Oracle and they became close friends. Perception can read minds. She’s a RainWing NightWing hybrid. She got bored (times a million) of living in the rainforest and went to the Mud Kingdom. She hated it there too because it was ‘too muddy’. She was out walking one day and accidentally got stuck in quicksand. When she was about to die, a MudWing found her and saved her. His name was Sandstone. They became friends, and then eventually Perception met Oracle and Imperial. Pls reply any advice or suggestions or compliments or whatever! Thanks, Cyprus! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Logi_432]

I have only ever drew 3 hybrid ( one of them being Sunny) so because of this video I am going to try to draw more thank you😁

[@raventhewolf9]

Jasper is probably my favorite--!!

[@artisticdragonborn]

Hi, @Cyprus . May I ask you to do a KZbin video on how you do your art business or how you make commission forums and how you do good at selling your art ABC what inspired you to do so and how did you learn? I'm getting into the idea of this kinda stuff and so I thought I might ask an awesome fellow artist how to get started and etc. Keep up the good work, @Cyprus !

[@The_Artz-PERSON]

✨️Pretty✨️

[@Alikahzam]

What drawing tablet do you use? EDIT: sorry I actually found it in one of your videos 😅 *is inattentive* P.S. Your art is soooo AMAZING!!!! You helped me become an artist 😊

[@itswolfiegirlplayz7105]

JASPERS DESIGN 👌👌👌

[@TeamPokemon1]

I like ur drawlings :D next drawing, maybe Thorn,Saphira and Firnen :D

[@seashelltheseawing]

Jazz looks like he's wearing a sweatshirt lol

[@Ntato]

I’m only 3 minutes into the video and I already love it, one question i have tho, can i snatch a few design elements from these? If not, thats quite alright, i just wanted to ask❤ love your vids Cyprus!❤

[@solar_duck_lover]

The first reminds me of mint chocolate ice cream

[@Starvaze]

Request: try and make a Hybrid named "Magpie" a nightwing-skywing hybrid. Based on the colours of the Australian swooping Magpie. You may guve ut a nickname "Swoop" or to your personal choice.

[@SophieFosker]

the snake for Jasper is a Garter snake.

[@user-ib1bm1oh3g]

"Do you liek jazz?"

[@cliffleaper8114]

I was thinking, could you make this a series possibly? 🙂🙃🙂🙃 *spins

[@hummingbirdwof]

I love jasper and about the art presses I can go both ways I can make up a story then do art or other way around

[@user-ic1qr8gh7g]

Im not very good at character desighn. Casually creates a masterpeice😂

[@FrenchBird137]

Hii I'm a big fan :))

[@wofaholic]

How do you send fan art? And also I really wish I knew you in real life! I mean I have so many questions for you and I just can't put all of them in one comment. But seriously, the fan art. And also, you you draw on a computer or do you connect your tablet to your computer? I've been trying to find Krita on an iPad but I guess its only available on computer. ( I've been taking lessons from you and know I have my own channel. The views are not bad but how do you get a lot of subs? I have only 20 now! )

[@Ugle_ratt]

I like jazz foots

[@SundropDaNightSilk-WingsOfFire]

Is it just me who thinks of Jazz as a PB&J ?

[@Csuttell]

What app is this, i want ro get it on my pc

[@ashleyjamesen9176]

Sometimes I draw a sketch with no scales color that then add scales
