How to approach retopology and how do you know when you have good retopology?
I feel like I'm mostly getting the hang of blender in general but I feel like I still struggle with retopology and knowing when I actually have good topology on my model. If it helps at the moment I'm using blender 5.0 and my workflow starts with me splitting a plane in half, assigning it backface culling, turning on snap, then assigning the modifiers shrinkwrap, subdivision surface, then mirror (though this time I did subdivision, shrinkwrap, mirror) and then I sorta keep going until I fully retopologize the model switching back and forth from project face for general stuff or project face for like arms or the tail.

A random AU idea I thought of on the whim : We have the dragonets at home AU
So basically it came from me thinking about the guardians and how they were a skywing, a sandwing, a seawing, a mudwing, and an icewing and I realized how that sorta matched up with the dod and it I thought it would be a fun AU idea for them to be the dragonets (or I guess dragons) of destiny. Unfortunately, besides the initial premise, I have no idea how this AU would actually go...

Thinking...
SUPRISE! Remember when I asked you guys like a year ago what Wings of Fire you character you wanted to see into a 3d model? Well here it is! I eventually was able to get my computer repaired like a few months ago and I kinda was stuck on what to do as the Whiteout model I was originally working on got corrupted. I eventually decided to just remake it and I wanted to see it through, so despite never actually doing this before, I animated Whiteout looking at the stars and thinking about her family. I mentioned this in my original post that I am an amateur but I hope to make more animations of characters and stuff like that. I actually have no idea what wof character I want to make next so you guys have any suggestions feel free to suggest them and hope my computer doesn't break again! Also I'm posting this on Youtube so pray that I don't smited by the youtube copyright police for using pokemon music

(OC) How the creation trio was moving against Arceus in the Jewel of life:
I should probably mention I actually haven't watched Arceus and the Jewel of life, just the fight scene between these guys and a review. I know Dialga already got jumped by Giratina and probably needed to save energy to send Ash and Co back in time but what's Giratina's excuse for selling so hard?

Dragon of the week 44 for realeez this time
So, uh, I have a few things to say, not bad things (for the most part) just things
First, I may have sorta messed up on the title again. The Kestrel was DOTW for week 43, my bad
Secondly, this took a while to post because I was preoccupied with something on my computer that I hope to be able to show you all very, very soon (like later today soon)
And finally... You guys know you can participate in DOTW, right? You can draw, write, make a song, think very passionately about the DOTW. Part of the fun of DOTW is being able to celebrate it with everyone, after all!
Anyhow
The Dragon of the week is a hypothetical 7th sharpwing (who's hopefully not Clink) of the sharpwings!

Atleast one I dislike about every wof protagonist
Someone I knew did this with characters in a different fandom and I thought it would be fun to do with Wof protagonists but I would like to clarify some things before I get started.
This has spoilers for book 16 and Winglets: Hero, along with everything other book in the series
I'm mostly joking and the things I'm saying is not valid criticism but me just ranting and trying to be funny
I actually like all of these characters to some degree (Turtle is my favorite character in the series) so I hope you guys know that I don't mean anything malicious when I say this stuff
But without further ado Let's begin!
Clay: Brochacho does diddly squat after his book
Tsunami: Half of the Ripnami ship tho tbh it's not her fault that her ship is mid. Also she's kinda a jerk to Riptide in book 14 despite the fact they're supposedly in a long distance relationship??? (Could be wrong I don't actually remember where I heard that from)
Glory: She was kinda annoying in book 2, like I get, Coral sucks but as far as Tsunami as aware you were fine and not rotting in prison. Edit: I also think the thing about her secretly being royalty was kinda a cop out.
Starflight: In arc 1 he could be kind of insensitive and I feel like he doesn't get as much flak about it as Tsunami or Glory, like he never put two and two together that his friend/brother didn't enjoy him having a scroll that only talked about how pathetic his tribe was? Also Starflight gets screwed over so bad, his dad loves him but commits war crimes, his sister lowkey hates him, his mom is dead and as far as he's aware she was bad too, which couldn't be farther from the truth, and his tribe is filled with lying bums. Broski can't have anything
Sunny: The way she treated Stonemover in book five kinda pissed me off. I get that he's a bum and stuff but Stonemover had no idea she existed and as far as he was aware and he encased himself in stone because he thought he was just protecting everyone
Moonwatcher: She kinda becomes bland during the second half arc 2. Also “Peril don't even think about killing us cause super sigma Qibli has already thought of FIVE ways of killing you!” pmo so much.
Winter: Kinda annoying during the first half of book six. Also I wish he did stay with the jade mountain gang during the book 10 climax but I understand why he didn't.
Peril: uh…I guess I wish she would've listened to Turtle before she abandoned the jade mountain gang in book 8? But I understand why she did. She also kinda vanishes after book 8, like think about it… if you removed her from the series after book 8, what would change?
Turtle: If you removed him from his own book at least 50% of it would be the same, he doesn't do anything till the end. Also I feel the turtlejou ship exists less because people like it but more because turtlejou would make Turtle happy and people want Turtle to be happy. I know it's sorta implied Kinkajou might reciprocate but idk
Qibli:
I actually do think he can be kinda overrated and I feel like back in 2020 he got mischaracterized and flandarized a lot. I also feel like in that big argument that Moon, Winter and Qibli have, Qibli's more at fault than Moon and Winter because at least in Moon's defense she was actively being manipulated by Darkstalker and kinda just got jumped with all the information Winter was telling her and if I was Winter I'd be pissed off too if my family was being slowly killed off by this ancient nightmare dragon and the only person I thought I could trust was actively defending him. Also “Erm acktually I only thought of three ways to kill Peril but thanks for glazing me anyway Moon.”
Blue:
Kinda has the same problem as Turtle but to a lesser degree. And I think I found his empathy thing kinda annoying in book 11? Idk it has been like 4 years since I last read it in full. Also holy guacamole Blue you just met Cricket and you're already deeply in love with her? Falling in love speedrun wr any% over here
Cricket:
Uh I when I read book 12 I remember finding it kinda boring but that was like 4 years ago. Cricket's fine though. I would say she's like discount Starflight but Starflight's more into literature and history while Cricket's more biology…
Sundew:
Uh…I guess her archetype isn't anything we haven't seen before. I'm kinda disappointed we didn't get much of Sundew and Tsunami interacting in book 15, it would've been really funny.
Snowfall:
Redemption arc speedrun wr any%. Also I kinda feel like compared to other protagonists she isn't as memorable but I'm not sure why though…
Luna:
I liked her better in book 11 than I did book 15. Has the same problem as Turtle to even worse degree as she stays in the same location for 60% of her book which probably wouldn't have been as bad if her book wasn't the last one of the arc.
Umber:
I can understand Umber falling in love with Mulberry as it's implied that he's a hopeless romantic but he forgives him way too quickly. Also I don't understand why Mulberry fell in love with him, there are hundreds of dragons on that island that adore Mulberry, what makes Umber so special? Oh well this isn't about him.
Fathom:
Uh…idk… I genuinely can't of anything? Him not killing Albatross, he was a scared kid and at this point Albatross was someone he could trust and look up to. His self loathing? I'd probably respond the same way to the massacre. His anti animus view? I'd feel the same way after seeing what happened to Albatross. I guess not realizing Indigo had a crush on him was kinda annoying
Darkstalker:
I kinda wish he tried a little harder to understand what the Arctic was going through. And I wish he tried a little harder to save Foeslayer. Interestingly I don't got much to say about him besides his intentionally evil deeds
Clearsight:
I think she was the least interesting protagonist in Darkstalker legends but it's only like a smidge. I wish she waited a bit before asking Darkstalker for the bracelet not because I think she should've trusted him more but because I think it would be nice to emphasize that no matter what Clearsight did Darkstalker was always going to be this way.
Wren:
I guess she was kind of annoying in book 15? Idk.
Leaf:
He's kinda boring.
Ivy:
She's sooo boring oh my goodness. Maybe she got better but I couldn't finish Dragonslayer because Ivy's chapters were so uninteresting… When I was reading Dragonslayer I sat there in dread every time I got past a leaf chapter because I knew that meant an Ivy's chapter was coming up.
Fierceteeth:
She was actually really annoying In arc 2 like bro, why are you here? Who invited you?
Deathbringer:
I remember finding Assassin kinda boring when I read it. I'm not sure why. It has been 5 years though so maybe my opinion would change. Also nowadays Deathbringer is kinda known for that timeline mess up making him twice the age of Glory which sucks he actually was a pretty compelling character and a nice parallel to Peril even if unintentionally.
Six-Claws:
I wish we saw more of him in the main series. Also I kinda wish we knew how he felt about Dune just uping and leaving.
Arctic:
Uh all of the stuff I dislike about him is in Darkstalker legends. Hating Darkstalker for not looking like you has got to be the dumbest reason to hate him. (I know there's other reasons but that's like the first reason)
Foeslayer:
While I wish she tried a little harder to help Arctic in the kingdom, I imagine it was probably hard with Arctic being constantly aggressive and standoffish with her. I also wish she treated Whiteout better, it feels like a tiny bit of an afterthought in Foeslayer's mind. I don't think Foeslayer even talks about her when she gets out of icewing jail. (But I could be wrong it's been a while since I last read arc 2)
Snowflake:
Uh idk she's kinda forgettable and I wish we learned what happened after she got singed.
Snowfox:
She's,Uh, also kinda forgettable, I guess.
Cliff:
I like Cliff but his pov in hero was probably the most annoying part about it. Sorry little bro, maybe you're just better off as a song writer.

How would I model a character that has two heads in the way were both heads have symmetrical topology during stuff like sculpting and retopology?
Unfortunately I don't have my computer with me right now but I was wondering how I approaching making a character that has 2 heads? For example the character I'm making would be like the Hideous Zippleback from How to Train your Dragon ( 2 long necks where neither of them are at the center of the model). How would I get the topology to stay symmetrical for each head?
