Next up, let’s showcase some incredible community art! We start with a drawing of Malistaire Drake by sturddlefishes. Yyyu returns with another amazing illustration, and Rakesh TXlite brings a cozy sketch of their wizard’s pet dragon snoozing on a helmet. Fantastic work!
in my perpetual flop era because i keep posting wizard101 fan art on my tiktok and nothing remotely popular pic.twitter.com/kaqQIMSs6U
I sketched my wizards pet dragon sleeping on his helmet, the dragon and helmet are from @Wizard101 and I just decided hey why not do this, sorry I don’t have any colored pencils so I just colored it in with my pencil. pic.twitter.com/owyz6NZiC6
Both games feature many symbols used in decorations, maps, and concept art. While most are purely decorative or fictional designs that cannot be translated, some form real cryptogram “languages” where symbols correspond to English letters and can be decoded. These hidden languages are tied to specific in-game cultures and lore, serving as Easter eggs for players.
The tables are still being updated as new symbols are discovered, with the goal of making these codes easier for players to explore and translate on their own. This tool is available in English and all EU languages.
