NEW NEWS AS OF 7/8/2023: Unfortunately at a signing on 7/8/2023 in Worcester MA, Tui announced that they will have to completely redo the show from scratch, so all of the concept art and stuff in this video isn't applicable anymore :'( the show will likely have new showrunners and the scripts, art, etc will have to be thrown out. Tui said she will try to re-pitch the show, but she will have to wait until the writer's strike is over at the very soonest, so it will likely take several years.
oh gosh, this is devastating to hear :( ; _ : The video itself wasn't that disappointing to me actually, I thought the idea of the show had been dropped utterly and completely, so to hear that the author and others were still wanting to get it made was good news to me! But to read this comment and hear that ALL of the work previously put in will have to be scrapped, when it was so good and actually what an audience dedicated to the books would WANT to see in the show?? That's just heartbreaking. Because I feel like getting that level of quality and commitment to the original material is very rare. So the fact that we got it once . . . I just think it can only go downhill from here. Especially since the showrunners will be different as well. We really gonna find new showrunners with the same level of respect for the story and the author? I don't think so. You don't get that lucky twice.
@@lizarr7176I agree. The previous work for the show was amazing looking I'm also sad it's scrapped and won't be used at all. But I'm glad Tui is still fighting for TV series to happen, and who knows. If new showrunners are smart, they'll actually include Tui in work and listen to her. After all something is better than nothing at all.
As disappointing as the news regarding the show is, at least we know Tui has been actively making an effort to continue production! Thanks for the update. I had seem some of these leaks here and there, but not all of them -- and I was certainly surprised! Fingers crossed we do get something someday. Not only will it be a great gift to fans, but it'll introduce so many new people to Wings of Fire and bring the series to life even more.
@@Sawgrass-TML I’ve actually got several more vids with Tui in them including an entire interview if you’re curious! They’re all from a year+ ago though.
@@Biohazardia I figured lol! But I’m glad it wasn’t outright cancelled and that theirs still hope that it’ll keep going. I’m willing to wait however long hehe
A Wings of Fire theme ride would be so much fun hahaha. I'm glad Tui was able to give her input during the shows creation - I've seen too many series ruined by Hollywood! Eragon, Percy Jackson, and Artemis Fowl to name just a few.
Yeaaahh I would worry about the show being handled by Disney or showrunners who don’t listen to Tui’s suggestions. Dan and Christa seem great and I hope they get to stay on the show
I had a dream about a wof themed ride. It was a rollercoaster that showed all the most memorable scenes from each book. (In a somewhat pirates of the Caribbean way)
I hadn't seen any of the leaks before this, and I was absolutely astonished the whole time! It looks so beautiful! Even if the show never gets picked back up, just being able to see WoF in this whole new way was super inspiring.
Throwing this out there for those interested, someone last year had translated the scroll at 7:43 and this is what it reads: "Fighting to the death is permitted under rules of engagement which covers things may not proceed if both contestants are thoroughly injured battles may be postponed under agreements In the year of the revered dragons of the west and the east we reign as kings breeze carries us upwards into victory do not forget the forged steel of your fangs and wings as we prove our might in the holy battles" Also the faces on the board at 8:50 from left to right in the mirrored image are Blister, Whirlpool, Coral, and Shark. It's when the DoD are trying to determine possible culprits for the egg smasher in book 2.
I was able to see the animatic before it got taken down, and oh my gosh the place holder VAs are actually so good. And the dialogue is also super nice, glory sounds sarcastic and witty, Starflight is brain boi who complains a bit, Sunny tries to get the other's attention but instead gets ignored and then gets mad about it. Definitely different then the books but they still feel like themselves. I really hope we'll be able to see the full thing in the future. Glory calls sunny kiddo, and I think it's funny since they're the same age but treats Sunny like a little kid.
Thank you so much for the info Bio! I’m actually relief on the situation of the show’s state. It’s better to wait for studios to get more money. During Boskone day, I was actively trying to search any i fo from Tui from people who went their, but nothing, so thank you so much for sharing what you have learned!!!
Bio, don’t know if any of y’all know this, but Disney+ actually does have their own “dragon-esque” show that they picked up just last year, the famous (and commercially more successful book series) Eragon. Therefore, I feel like Disney+ wouldn’t exactly be the best idea. But, it’s all up in the air atm. On a more personal note, 1. I love your art and content Bio, can’t wait to see more of it! 2. As of this year, I’m graduating HS and immediately going into a 2-year school where I’ll be learning 3D Animation and VFX, and (hopefully) 🤞, will be able to join the team and help out with the show! Kind of a dream of mine ever since I learned that WOF rights were bought by Warner Bros. back in early 2020, just before COVID happened. Anyway, sorry for the ranting, but yeah! Hope to see more uploads soon and thanks for the show news! Take care!
I’m glad to see you’re back, and I’m really exited to see the show, even if it doesn’t end up on Netflix! If Warner Bros blocked it it might mean they’re still planning on working on it- I’m hoping so anyway
@@ok....3904 id pay any any amount JUST GIVE ME WOF ON TV PLEASE!!! It's been my dream for years! I've had actual dreams about it and woke up sad knowing it was a dream
Really glad they haven’t given up on the show yet, it really has a lot of potential. Really hope it’s able to become a reality, but only time will tell. Also, welcome back! Hope your studies are going well, and good luck on getting your PhD!
Willow Heart Studio already made some kind of comic book voice cast for wings of fire, and their voice actors really made my imagination bounce in whenever I read the books. For example: When someone like Clay talks, I imagine one of Willow Heart Studio's voice actors in his voice, and it fit in perfectly with how I imagined Clay's voice to be! I'm just saying, if the show would actually be published, the voice actors from Willow Heart Studio should really voice the characters!
YOOOO I remember following you on Instagram YEARS ago!! I was just scrolling through RU-vid and recognized your oc!! It’s crazy how much you’ve improved since then!! :D (and it’s good to see you again!!)
It took me way to long to realize you were the artist biohizardia and not just a youtuber with links to their stuff n junk, I’m an idiot, but thank you so much for this video, this has really made me happy
Omg can you imagine what characters like Peril,Scarlet ,Blaze,Morrowseer and tons of others looks like. Im not gonna get my hopes to high just in case but I am excited
In the part were her voice got covered by the background noises she said "maybe we could get you in there" as in 'we could get you to help us with the plot'
The concept art looks absolutely gorgeous! While I’m a bit disappointed we won’t be getting the show anytime soon I’ll gladly wait patiently to see where it goes. Also Tui sounds like such a sweet person!
11:48 We never got to see that in the graphic novels and I love it. Sand clearly brought in by the bucketful, and braziers in the ceiling that look like they'd just cause bits of the ceiling to melt and the room to constantly drip cold water onto her head. _Comfy._
I think my heart soared as I saw this. XD Thanks for the news, Bio! I'm glad that Tui still is pretty much part of the production. I feel like it's only for the best if the author has that freedom with a show featuring their books. Would you mind if I share this? ^^
All of this concept art is absolutely gorgeous! It feels absolutely fantastical and beautiful. I love the shots of the ice dunes and of the big rock formations in the desert. The only thing I’m unsure about is the size differences between different dragons might make it ackward. Like sunny standing next to a guard even though they are basically young adults/teens. Also your persona is adorable. It’s nice how it has all the details but the bright eyes still focus you. Incredible!
honestly just watching the artstyle and the movement is incredible I have now drawn several imitations and am glad you are back (sort of ) you helped me find my passion for art and I remember watching your old WOF maps and I still like looking back and watching them now I realised my first video today and I want to thank you for helping me discover my passion for Art and Wings of fire have a fantastic day ( good luck with your PHD)
I think if there was ever a wings of fire show i kind of feel like tui would actually be an amazing voice actor for Sunny. Idk if its just me but i think tui sounds just like sunny in my head lol
I hope they add a lot of small details that connect to the books, like the RainWings having Australian accents, which was confirmed by Tui I also hope that the composer is Gretchen Ratke. Look her up and you’ll see what I mean
Dang, everyone’s here! So many famous youtubers commenting, this is a video that will bring the community closer together! I do feel that there are downsides to a TV show, such as people only watching it and not reading and getting misinformation about the books though.
Maybe it's just that I'm playing an expansion literally called Dragonflight but the concept art reminds me a bit of World of Warcraft's high fantasy artstyle and I'm digging it. I think the hardest part is pinning the target demographic for the show since the books can get pretty darn violent. I'd say "you wouldn't see what happened to Darkstalker's dad on Nickelodeon" but Legend of Korra aired there so I don't even know.
Always been following the wings of fire series and I am glad to hear this update regarding the show that still may or may not happen. Interestingly enough I found out about this video through Instagram. I look forward to hearing more about the series so that's all I have to say.
I first found the wof book via audio book on hoopla, and thats how Ive enjoyed them like that. I can fall asleep to sudew screaming about unaliving hivewings :)
every wings of fire fan excited to see our favorite characters actual TV voices instead of imagining what they would sound like. I love that tui has gone so far in this book series to actually make a TV show, I don't care if it's Netflix, Disney, or HBO. I love it, and I believe every episode would be one book, I think that would be a good idea.
"We would still want you along every step of the way" - (the part you said you couldn't understand during the interview) :) thank you for all the helpful news! I just recently read through all the books and I would absolutely love to see a show! I don't mind waiting for it either because I'd rather it be done right and done well. These books deserve nothing but the best.
Also Tui might consider if at a time where streaming services are desperate, that the chance they might accept the series might actually be better? IDK much but it might be a good idea to pitch the idea rn
Although we don't know when the show is coming out, it's nice to see that it has concept! It's also nice to see Tui taking some input, maybe not alot, but a bit. I hope that we hear more in the future ^^
The art pictures of all the backgrounds is so beautiful, I love it😍 But I’m not very sure to like te design of the dragons, I know it’s not looking finish, but they seems to much family friendly than the arts in the books. Anyway, I’m very exciting to see one day a TV show of Wings of Fire!😁
