Skywing Gladiator Helmet concepts: Part 1

Part 2 ⬅️ more designs

To me, the Skywing arena was the most memorable parts of the first book, and I liked the idea of Scarlet having consistent champions outside of prisoners, like Peril, that were used as actual fighters. Similar to the Roman colosseum’s style of fighting.

With how extravagant Scarlet’s punishments, hatching day, etc. are described, (she loves her bloody entertainment & fan fair). There’s no way she’d allow for her champions to go undecorated in the arena. Additionally, Skywings are implied to be the most battle experienced tribe, so they should have armor that reflects this sentiment.

Aside from the lore drop, I absolutely love rendering metal & armor, this was just an excuse for me to do that lol. It’s very interesting trying to fit helmets to dragon anatomy opposed to human anatomy. Gotta accommodate for horns, ears, and the snout. Really cool learning how to work around it!

so since scarlet just died I thought it'd be funny to share what I used to do for her as a guard. whenever she get hungover she would send out a couple guards to go and raid the kitchen from this one particular sandwing shop in possibility. she really liked the wine and duck from there. it was my job to go down there like every two weeks to threaten this poor family of sandwings and tell them theyll be held as prisoners of war and fight each other to the death in the arena if they dont make queen scarlet her hangover meal. kinda fucked up but you get used to it. once when we got there a bunch of dragons started to fight back and we ended up killing the chef. the next time we went there and got the stuff back scarlet killed one of the guards in my squadron because the new chef couldnt make it the exact way that the old one did. so she then just ordered us to burn it down and pin it as an attack done by some icewings. so that was scarring lol but at least shes dead and i can laugh about it.

I'm starting to think the entire SkyWing tribe is just made up of dragons like this and it wasn't just Scarlet who was crazy

we didnt even really threaten them. we would just go in there and say "hey if you dont give us queen scarlets hangover munchie meal right now we will throw your entire family into the death pit and have you kill each other for her amusement"

iam known as the beef bastrd ..

we truly don't appreciate how good scarlet was when it came to names. pyrite being named after something that's known as fool's gold? ingenious. just the name peril? very badass. vermilion being a shade of red like scarlet? ruby also being a shade of red?? ruby also being a gemstone, which is what tourmaline is??? literally so iconic.
