More graphic novels. I'd love to see how SilkWings and HiveWings are drawn- I bet it would look really cool. For some reason, I prefer Novels, because they're longer and have much detail to describe the setting. Plus, that way you get to imagine how it looks in your head instead of it showing you how its supposed to be.

[@kimberlythompson3886]

Oh and happy Easter!

[@duskart]

Agreed, the novels can have so much more content and I'd also love to see how the Silkwings and Hivewings are drawn.

1. Yeah, I actually love Mike Holmes' art style. Some people say it looks too boxy and military, but they're dragons, so it works for them. It's interesting how quick people are to critique official work when they're so intent on uplifting beginner fanartists, even when their art is honestly bad at the moment. 2. Absolutely agree, my brother dislikes reading "proper" books unless they're Minecraft books, and the graphic adaptations make WoF easily accessible to him. 3. I am "old-fashioned" in many ways as well, and kids should definitely have less screen time. 4. Your art is so pretty, just wanted to put that out there.

[@Lemond2]

This drawing is stunning!!!! I love it so much. Also, I’m still looking forward to the show, but you’ve definitely changed my perspective on it! Keep up the greatness, Cyprus!

[@stinkybanana3825]

[@DonnaDoesArt]

yup

[@icexinfinity0]

I think I would rather have more graphic novels (not that I also don’t want a tv show), especially if they made a darkstalker one (I really hope they do). Graphic novels were also what first introduced me to the series

[@lyshalysha101]

Omg I would LOVE a graphic novel on the book Darkstalker Legends. I would totally buy it! I would love to see all the characters in the book come to life in the graphic novel! I also can't wait until they release more of the series!!!

@@Shiningclaw6161 yeah, I guess that's one of the downsides 🥲

[@Shiningclaw6161]

I don't mind either. If you've seen Biohazardia's video the art style looks amazing and the characters look very similar. The only model that had been changed was the IceWing to have more curved horns (Ram-like.) We even saw some of the kingdoms like the Ocean, Rainforest, and NightWing Volcano. Also, the graphic novel for Winter Turning just got confirmed!

[@iitzshinmalphur4183]

Cyprus: your the reason i like to draw dragons and have curiosity to what things happen in the WoF world, my dragons gotten better when I can think of what the characters motivations or pros and cons, what their fears are like moon, hers is she is a sweet dragon, but one design is that she has silver shaped moons and her silver drop is more by her eye to show how she sees the people around her, if they found out about her powers. And Queen Moorhen, her fear during the 5th book the Brightest Night, her design is big, bigger than clay. But her design is settle dragon markings fighting there in her wings or how she acts. Also I love your art! and when you said "Screens are bad for kids" I nearly laughed for the fact that your creating videos. Your very kind to help kids though :)

[@ivarkane5580]

THE TV SHOW MUST BE DONE!!!(I am the only person irl that i know who knows about Wof so want other people to know about it)

[@shimo_96]

I think a show is a great idea, but like Cyprus said, a lot of imperative sections would have to be immediately ruled out, such as the SkyWing arena, which took up a huge portion of book one and had repercussions that lasted through two story arcs. Just Peril alone would have to be redone as they couldn't have a dragon with fire scales melting off faces and stuff, but taking Perils fire scales out of the series would completely change so many things about the series. They'd have to shoot for more of a teen audience rather than a kids audience then, which takes out a huge chunk of the viewers, thus lowering the amount of revenue, which might push the series into debt, making it impossible to do. The series is great, and would make a good TV show, but that really depends on how they decide to tackle issues like that.

[@ivarkane5580]

Although I am guilty of that.

[@KristiStratton-gc9hw]

Cyprus: screens are bad Also Cyprus: *career relies on screens*

[@pawsome38]

If there's no arc three graphic novels I'm gonna cry because I really love arc three and there's no much advanced Hive/Silk tech (ex: chocolate, coffee, CURRENCE, glass) and i'd LOVE to see how it canonically looks. Also I just love seeing how Tui imagined thing to look.

[@00loneX]

I'm actually hopefull for a TV show. A TV adaptation would allow for a different take or direction on the same story, unlike a graphic novel. It also is the perfect opportunity to correct some of the missteps in Arc 1, and especially Arc 2 if it comes to that. My biggest gripe with WoF has been that every mainline book is restricted to one PoV of one character and never more (I could rant about this all day but I hope Tui drops this trend if she ever does a 4th arc). A TV adaptation would absolutely have to forego this and add in some interesting side-plots or character moments outside of that book's PoV, which would do wonders for not only the character's themselves, but the world building. I can easily see each book getting two 45-minute episodes each with maybe a 3rd for the final book and still hit all the major plot points with plenty of breathing room for side plots and non-PoV character moments. As for the violence, you can actually get away with A LOT with just a TV-PG rating. As long as it's not overtly human and overtly red blood, you can get away with some pretty gruesome scenes as long as you're creative about it. We might not see Tsunami snapping Gill's head, but we will definitely hear it. Really it all depends on the crew behind the adaptation. Some book to TV adaptations change quite a lot from the books and can end up surpassing the quality of the source material. Game of Thrones suffered because the adaptation was *too* faithful, so when they ran out of source material, they gave themselves no room for creativity.

[@Shiningclaw6161]

I don't mind having one POV character but having interesting side plots or more build-up with some storylines, mainly the Vulture storyline, would be great. It would also be fine with me if we didn't see Gill's head snap but as long as it stays a part of the story in some way is good. Also, Tui has said that the directors had kept her up to date with the work and that they ask for her opinion on things. And Tui said that the team is looking to pitch the series to HBO.

[@alujis]

100% agree! also im pretty sure Tui made sure it didnt stray far from her vision. She didnt have complete control but she definately played a big part

[@00loneX]

​@@Shiningclaw6161 The reason why one book = one and only PoV of a character is damaging is because Tui is trying to create these linear, serialized narritives with long-form character development. Restricting a protagonist's PoV to one book and one book only means you have to cram nearly all of their development into one book because that's the only time you will ever get their internal monologue. It also means when you split them away from another PoV, we don't get to see what they're up to. Like when Winter leaves Qibli and Moon in Possibility. We never get to see what they do but it would have been a perfect opportunity to really establish their relationship so it doesn't seem like it comes out of nowhere in book 10. Also, once a character's PoV is done (and there will not be any more for them), characters will often just stagnate, be flanderized, or shove any further growth off screen. There are plenty of other reasons why Tui should just drop this silly format. But most of the problems the fandom has with any character or story can be directly linked back to this.

[@aqwek]

I agree with this. One problem, of course, is getting an animator ready to work on this for an extended period of time, and also having a nice art style that the fans won't get annoyed at. animating is hard, but i'd also love to see a tv show.

[@mikeystorm8124]

What you sed about graphic novels and helping people who struggle with reading.... OMGVI FEEL, I really struggled with reading ( I am beter but not flawless) and I preferred graphic novels so much more,1: the art makes you excited and want to see more, and 2: it cuts out so much in a good way, in a book you have to describe everything from the mane pov to a forest but in graphic novels you can just see it, it takes so much owt and makes books less intimidating.

This is what I’ve been trying to tell my friends! One of my favorite series Six of Crows was mixed with another series by the same author and made into a show. Because it had to series crammed into it, everything was rushed and didn’t follow the storyline. Plus they made it “kid friendly” or something because they didn’t show any gore and there was a ton of cheesy graphics. I definitely do not want this to happen to Wings of Fire.

[@Thyme_pawzz]

I personally haven't read the first arc exept for the grwphic novels after that I couldn't wait and started listening to the audio books of the novels. For me too it's hard to get through a big book without giving up 😅. I love the graphic novels.

In my opinion I would rather have graphic novels. They are much simpler than a TV show. They are one of two graphic novel series that I like. Warrior cats and Wings of Fire have had great graphic novels so far. So far I think that book 3 was the best out of them all in my opinion. It had good humor and the rainforest looks so beautiful in color.

Definetly agree, as much as a show would be really cool, I am nervous that they would ruin the plot and skimp on the animation. The graphic novels are really cool and do a good job of staying true to the books, but the books are still my favorite way to experience the story :)

[@julietvoth7524]

As much as I would love a show, I have got all the graphic novels of WoF every Christmas and it gives me something to look forward to! Personally I would do graphic novels till the movie stuff is finished so we can get a film to enjoy and look forward to a new stile. 🙂

[@That1SherbertAlicorn_13]

Cyprus, i just thought of something: remember how in book 2 Starflight said that if webs didnt take tsunamis egg, she wouldve died to orca’s statue. If pointing this out because you’re probably currently making what if the false dragonets were the dragonets of destiny, and you probably might add tsunami. Maybe instead of tsunami, it can be turtle? Jusy a suggestion

[@BlueJay2]

I actually kind of like the graphic novel style. It's very wonky sure, but I like how they make each character design distinct. I love Kinkajou's little horns that stick out and Qibli's "cool hairstyle" sorta looking frill. I think it's fun

[@ThatOneAuthor-jn2yr]

I definitely prefer the books, just mainly due to the fact that the art in the graphic novels is very unrealistic to the real illustrations provided in the actual books. I also think that reading books such as normal novels greatly expand vocabulary, writing skills, and creativity. Despite this though, graphic novels are great for kids who struggle with reading, like you brother for example. It might also help children who has dyslexia enjoy reading more. Even though I do have mixed feelings about the graphic novels, I truly agree with you, Cyprus. I think that your insight on the subject was very thought out and planed, great job! 👍👍

[@Coolboy_hehe]

Honestly,I'm looking forward to both more graphic novels,and the tv show because both are getting lots of attention from the fandom, and both are good ways to show how Tui imagine the wof universe to actually look like. //also I could prob Wright this better than this but oh well :| //

[@shimo_96]

A TV show would be awesome and really show people how this entire civilization of dragons could really work, and how things look (granted, most of reading books is imagining, and I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I mean that it gives people a new look on what it could look like) and stuff, but there's so many things that just couldn't be included. Scarlet getting her face melted by RainWing venom, Peril melting Horizon (I'm fairly sure it was Horizon, correct me if I'm wrong lol) and Glory melting Fjord with her venom are three things that immediately come to mind. Plus, if they did a miniseries or few episodes on Darkstalker, the whole "Arctic gutting himself" thing, which was a big part of the story is also an issue. It would be near impossible to make a TV series about WoF that's entirely kid friendly. It'd have to be a teen show or something, but that could affect revenue, which affects budget and could keep them from making the whole show. It's a cool idea and I hope that it ends up working, but I'd honestly say, because of these things, that the graphic novels are a better idea.

They should continue the graphics novels but a tv show would be nice.

[@riban3768]

My only, SINGULAR complaint about the graphic novels is that they left out the part where Webs meets up with Crocodile, Cirrus/Chameleon and the rest of the Talons in the beginning of The Lost Heir. I understand that they did want to show the importance of The Missing Princess in relation to Tsunami but I also feel like Crocodile's plot-twist appearance at the end of the book would've had more buildup and reasoning if they'd somehow integrated it in (besides that one part with Crocodile and those SkyWings flying above the water.) Its not much of a complaint, and the novel still works pretty well without that bit, this is just a bit more of a personal opinion Also why are the NightWing's noses scrunched up. It's grown on me but the first time I saw it I was so confused

Imo, the wof fandom has so many headcanons, a production team would have a hard time trying to appeal to everyone's idea. Fan art is so diverse and we would never even be able to agree on a single style. With all the creativity in the fandom we don't even need a tv show Wow you made it to the end?

Except, the style of art is good, but doesn't show everything the dragons can have (and i don't like the art styles where the torso is long, idk why) a show would be cool, but to include everything it either have to be rated R18 or just change it.

[@bjboss1119]

I've only got up to book 2 in the graphic novels, But I'm interested to see how they continue, as so far the cuts they have made haven't been too impactful in the grand scheme of the plot, but from a literary perspective some were a bit important. For example, in book 2 when riptide is guiding the dragonets to the summer palace there's a comment to the fact that coral outlawed eating dolphins. It's not that important but it's a subtle red flag regarding her character, i presume it was dropped to save word count.

Honestly looking at how often animation/show adaptations of book series get butchered, it's a good example of how _not_ to rewrite/interpret written media As a writer and aspiring animator, the stories I currently write always have a visual piece in mind to accompany it, and the reason I want to tell stories through both media is because they have different perks In literature, you can go into way more detail and have just about all the time in the world to establish everything you need to (within the pacing parametres, of course), and in animation/film you can add so many subtle things that only those with an eye for detail can pick up on ^^

So I can see what the dragons are actually designed as vs how I saw them, and so on! Sadly I is broke, and cannot buy them rn, but I will be able to one day lol

I personally enjoyed the graphic novels more than the text novels because I felt like the art kept me interested even when there were slower scenes happening in the plot. I respectfully disagree with you that kids or really anyone should be on screens less in today's world given that most conventional tasks nowadays can be done more efficiently from a smartphone or a computer than in person, except for some of the more "old fashioned" things as you call them like being out in nature. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I get the sense from a lot of your art pieces, especially in the way that you draw smiles, that you grew up in a rural area and found dragons one day and they became a creative interest for you which led to the production of all of these art pieces and videos you've published on this channel. There's a very natural happiness which comes from being out in rural areas which provides an opportunity for creative interests in wild things like dragons to form early in life, and it looks to me like that sort of happiness is visible in the glow on the characters' faces you draw when the characters are smiling. From my own personal experience, other interests can form out of that type of "rural happiness" as well such as a value for traditional things like family life or keeping a collection of hard-copy books, so it makes sense to me that you would prefer more graphic novels than a television show for the series.

Happy Easter, Cyprus! I’ve been wondering, how do I send fan art?

[@theonewholikesmorays2709]

I REAAALLY hope if a show is made they don't remove any of the more gorey stuff in wings of fire I hate how alot of shows just act like children seeing injured people and blood will fry their brain or somthing

[@LilacTheRainWing]

I think if they somehow perfected the show I would rather have a show, but that’s HIGHLY unlikely, so I would rather stick with the graphic novels

[@LeilaSeal]

Both, love reading this and a animation = mind dilemma

I actually like the written books more. I got a graphic novel and I looked at it, but it was nothing like how I imagined the books. It kinda ruined the magic of being able to imagine the setting. For example my favorite scene in moon rising she has the vision of the history cave blowing up. I continuously reread it because of how I imagine it, but I got the novel and I feel it didn’t do it justice for how gorgeous and intense I imagined the scene. I think I would like the movie though. Even though that contradicts everything I just said when I had heard about it I was very excited. (Also dragon sheep was going to be in it I think) I know I ruined the novels with my own expectations and imagination; the movie would be good I think. Though honestly idk why. Sry for this rant lol

And their points where the freaking corporation and the platform said the show is being uploaded on where it’s just no one was thinking after the first episode “Why are we actually producing this is awful.” (Velma) Also in all honesty if the wings of fire TV series has an amazing writer instead of scrapping parts of plot in the first arc, they could have each book be multiple episodes long so that way every detail/everything that we get from the box is in the show (if only Netflix hadn’t decided to be pieces of garbage and not accepting
