An old Wings of Fire OC I've had for two years is Darksnow, a Nightwing and Icewing hybrid who serves as my main dragonsona for the books. I'm still not letting her go, for she still has a special place in my heart. Above is a recent headshot I did of Darksnow, in the middle is a base belonging to spectralArtist of Deviantart of my character, and below is my first drawing of Darksnow. She still has the Icewing spikes on her first two legs if you're wondering.

Darksnow is my OC and belongs to me(Thunderheart); the base I used belongs to spectralArt of Deviantart.

My first real collab, done with Wolvesica on DeviantArt of our IceWing hybrids, Darksnow (their character on the left) and Azalea (mine on the right)! Go follow em over there :v

I did the sketch then lineart for the dragons and coloured the background!

Wolvesica did the colouring and shading for the dragons, and the original lineart for the background! We also added a warm tint for the sunset effects XP

And again, thanks for reaching out to me to do a collab :v This was tons of fun!!

Character/boss: Zelroth

This is my final boss for my game, Zelroth. He has three forms that act as phases that all get increasingly harder and harder, each one offering a challenge for the player. The designs for Zelroth were hard to come up with as I didn’t know what to do for a final boss. The first form (The dungeon master) is just him in a suit with a red cape and a crown, something really basic and makes him look not as menacing as someone would question if they were actually a final boss. Second form (Pillager of chaos) sees him dawn a menacing suit of armor with a large sword, this form makes him look more scary and more powerful and worthy of being the last boss. His final and most hardest form (God of chaos) sees him turn into a weird creature with wings and a colorful head, this design was completely by accident and I just went with it as he now looks really terrifying and something that people would be confident with saying is the final boss.        

Backstory/lore: 

Zelroth, prince of Darksnow. He is the rightful heir to the throne and was respected highly by his subjects and his knights, Norrix being his personal bodyguard. He hated his father, the king of Darksnow, because he refused to talk about his mother and never seemed interested in helping his kingdom. Zelroth got so annoyed that he assembled a large army and pillaged the surrounding towns, one of them belonging to Kitsune. When he returned home, his father was furious and exiled Zelroth from the kingdom. Zelroth, Norrix and Madeline all ventured on the roads, hoping to find somewhere they could call home. One day, the god of gold, Coien, came to Zelroth and made a deal: he would aid Zelroth in creating a dungeon full of wealth as long as Coien got a small cut of the earnings. Zelroth agreed and the dungeon of eternal wealth was created, bringing in lots of money. Zelroth found and recruited the mad scientist, Professor Hollow to create monsters for him. After all his success, he still felt like something was missing. He asked Hollow to use his science to find his mother. The results were shocking: His mother was a Goddess. This meant that Zelroth was a demi-god, half human and half god. This angered Zelroth and made him want to march to Darksnow and punish his father. Hollow offered to make Zelroth stronger by experimenting on him with chaos, which he agreed too. With a path of revenge laid out before him, he was determined to grow powerful and destroy Darksnow. But when he was informed of an odd fox wearing person, not interested in gold and slaughtering all his monsters... it would seem destiny has something already planned out for him. 

FINAL BOSS BATTLE!!!

This three phased boss battle aims to test the player’s skills with an increasing difficulty through all phases. 

Phase 1 (The dungeon master): 

This phases starts off with Zelroth fighting the player on a casino revolving wheel. It will spin and where ever he lands, a certain enemy from any floor will appear to fight the player. After defeating the enemy, the player will get a chance to deal some damage to Zelroth. This will repeat until Zelroth reaches zero health. 

Phase 2 (The pillager of chaos): 

This phase starts after defeating Zelroth in the previous phase. It starts with a cutscene of Zelroth fall of the wheel. Kitsune is about to walk away when the wheel is destroyed and he tumbles down into a stone room, where Zelroth stands waiting in a suit of armor and sword. This phase actually makes the player fight Zelroth, who has some pretty simple attacks. His first attack is a simple lunge which can be blocked and dodged, either will stun Zelroth for a few seconds so the player can deal damage. Another attack is where he will spin around the room. This can be blocked but dodging is more effective because if you dodge at the right time, Zelroth can spin into a wall and become stunned so the player can hit him. The final attack is mad three hit combo which is where Zelroth will frantically slash randomly at the player. If timed perfectly, the player can block and instantly stun Zelroth. Dodging and blocking at the right time is the key to beating this second phase till he again reaches zero health. 

Phase 3 (God of chaos): 

This final and terrifying phase starts when the p[layer beats the second phase. It will start with what some might believe to be a final cutscene. Zelroth is on the ground with blood, he removes his helmet and explains how he only pillaged Kitsune's town so he could help his people. He goes on to say that his town was on the verge of being attacked anyway, as he explains that a neighboring town was planning on invading. Zelroth then warns Kitsune that if he kills him, he will fulfill a prophecy that will destroy all the gods. Kitsune simply looks at Zelroth before finally saying something: “Not my problem.” and then stabs Zelroth. This then cuts to a black screen where white text will appear saying: you have already lost. It cuts back to the first room from the first phase, but Zelroth is now in his third phase and it seems that Kitsune was tricked into stabbing himself. Zelroth laughs and explains that with his godly heritage and the chaos experiments, he has transcended his mortal self and become a god more powerful than the god of creation. He goes on to explain that after he kills Kitsune, he will go and destroy Darksnow and then the entire world as this dungeon has shown that life is full of sin and is already planning on abandoning the gods. He then shoots a beam of chaos into Kitsune. Another black screen and more text appears saying: you did your best ----. Come home. The word ‘home’ grows bigger and bigger until there is an explosion of color and Kitsune becomes the large nine tailed fox of chaos but instead, it is just black and red. This then triggers the final battle! 

Zelroth will fly around the room, firing large beams that will bounce of walls. Another attack will be a deadly floor smash that will cause large boulders to fall down onto the room. His final attack will be to grow giant and smash his fists down (this attack is only triggered when he has one heath remaining). The player can dodge and block all these attack and is able to strike an unlimited amount of times. Every attack he does, causes the room to change to previous boss rooms. After landing the final hit, the player wins and there are no more phases.
