Yeah I agree, as much as I love the books and graphic novels, not much of the WoF content creators I’m subbed to post much. They either post their OC’s or MAP parts. The only map I’ve seen is broadwalk AU map. That’s really it. I hope the community strengthens again when the dark stalker graphic novel comes out. Also awesome new oc! Love the colours and design.

It could be that a lot of the channels that produced wof content have grown up and don't have a ton of time to work on bigger projects- I myself have a PMV and map project sitting in limbo until I can find some time to finish them Love the drawing! :]

The Wings of Fire community is actually extremely active, it just isn't the larger channels the algorithm favours.

I've been directing an animated series, so hopefully, when the trailer is released, it'll revive it for a bit.

I’ve noticed that a lot of us have moved to OC content, it’s definitely catching me off guard though.

Yeah its really sad to see. I feel like a lot of the audience who cared about wof moved on to different fandoms, and the wof creators, from the lack of new wof content, moved to oc content, which isnt a bad thing since its the thing that mostly keeps the wof fandom alive now. Also i noticed that wof MAP's folow very very similar pattern, its almost always about some very popular character and people just get kinda bored and out of ideas, like noone thinks about making a map about some less known character like Sora, Lady Scarab, Webs or really any character that could have AMAZING MAP's maybe even from their pov, the only characters that get their own maps are the most known ones that have like 5 MAP's already, and its so long until you just get bored of constantly seeing maps or even pmv's of the same characters over and over again. People don't want to join or watch 3 different MAP's/ pmv's about Peril or Darkstalker, but also noone is that brave to host a map or make a video about a less known character, especialy if they are new to map hosting or the fandom. So yeah i think that this might be one of the problems. I really wish some of characters would get their spotlight, maybe someday.The fandom isn't completely dead, it just needs to open up on showing other characters, like imagine a map showing the whole sandwing succesion war from a talons of peace pov, or even other queens. I know we know too little about how it looked like, but it only means that the possibilities are endless! The fandom just has to stop making videos about the same characters over and over again, like that might be what would get the people who were in the fandom interested in it again, be like 'oh i remember this character i liked it' and maybe deciding to re-read the books or make art of some characters or anything! (ok this might have went a little overboard with this all XD, also its just my oppinion on the topic)

I think we’re stuck in a gap between source content. A lot has already been done to where we rely on AUs to maintain interest in the older books. The next book doesn’t come out until at least next year, so we kind of just have to wait

As a former WoF fan. I think the reason is caused by no new/original content (no the graphic novels don’t count), the fact that most of the older creators have moved on or barely post, tweens at least from where I’m from are more interested in other books, dragons in general being hard to draw, and I’m going to guess that the Roblox situation isn’t helping in the slightest. I don’t know as I haven’t read the books/be in the fandom for years, but it still hurts cause that series was my main reason I got into drawing and reading at all. I do genuinely hope for the best for the fandom’s future

yeahh a lot of people have been losing interest in it lately from what i’ve seen, probably because of how long it’s been since a non-graphic novel book has been released i imagine it’ll wake back up when The Hybrid Prince comes out ALSO EPIC OCC AFAFSF I SO RARELY SEE MUD HYBRIDS WITH THE MUDWING BUILD

I feel like the WOF community only focuses on a few characters like it always Darkstalker or the folks from the second series 😔 I need more Cricket content or my girl Snowfal

Stunning art as always x3 I never have been into "Wings of Fire" series but youtube used to recommend me a lot of beautifull maps and art surrounding it... And it does feel like it died down a bit. I don't remember last time yt showed me something "Wings of Fire" related

Sometimes I've wished to get into WOF but haven't yet. Only been into the warriors series for years and animating dragons isn't my strong suit. Their wings and claws are hard to draw man and don't even get me started on their facial structure despite being fantasy creechers lol

I agree completely :( it's so sad! When it was super popular it was kinda like maybe 2018-2020 or smth around that idk lol- but I remember seeing a lot of those maps when I was younger- especially during quarantine. (Idk if I'm the only one, but I watched a lot of those WoF maps during quarantine) Hopefully the new book revives the community, bc the WoF books are absolutely amazing. I've been rlly excited abt the new book hehehe- and with the graphic novels coming out too! (I can't wait to see the 11-15 books...I can't wait to see the palaces and all the dragons in graphic novel form hehehehe) The drawing looks amazing tho :0000 I don't think I've seen a Mud/Leaf wing hybrid it looks so coolll! I love the horns :0
