Re: Cataclysmic Dragons
 

ow god ich can move threads.. the horror...

anyway having looked through the thread again I'm thinking the dragons are nice-ish but the coloring... I know it's sort of traditional for water (flood?) dragons to be blue but some dark blue might fit him better, might be scarier too. The Sirrocco dragon could be darker IMHO and the avalanche dragon (use that blue on the flood dragon) might need to be white/light blueish.. I know it's not terrible original but face it hunters need to blend in the environment. a blue dragon in white snowy regions might not catch much. Anyway just a thought. I still think your dustdragon should be a ghost/wraith/darkness/shadow dragon (really DUST dragon... no your posts since have not convinced me :))

anyway point of my post mostly was this: do plz continue this project (and your nation for dom 3 K.)

Re: Cataclysmic Dragons
 

Wow, this is an amazing project. Thanks HB for all the work you are doing on this!!!

Re: Cataclysmic Dragons
 

You're welcome! thanks for the interest!

I'll be redoing the artwork on these guys...well, someday. I don't know when. The holidays have been *way* more draining than I expected them to be, and I'm just really low on energy. Plus, I've been getting back into Dwarf Fortress more, since I needed a break from Dom3, but I still don't have a good computer to run either game on. But, I'll keep at it.

Based on the recently discovered pliosaur dubbed "Predator X".

This critter makes Jaws look like a guppy.

After having seen a show about this awesome monster, I couldn't help but become fascinated with how closely this beasty resembles a real actual sea dragon. This thing had the most powerful jaws in all the animal kingdom, either living or dead. Jaws that were atleast 10 times as powerful as anything alive today, and up to 4 times as powerful as a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Jaws that could crush a car. It was an extremely fast, powerful swimmer, and grew to a length of 50 feet and a weight of 100,000lbs, with all the most terrifying qualities of a great white shark and a saltwater crocodile.


So, my first thought ofcourse was "how can I make it even nastier?"
Well, it's going to be immortal, and it will have an undead (fossil) deathform.

I attempted to make him a little more dragonish (not that she needed much), and also added humps after realizing that we lack a real Loch Ness Monster for the game.

By the way, here's an updated list of the paths for each dragon type:

Earthquake dragons: Earth
Wildfire dragons: Fire, Air
Flood dragons: Water, Earth
Typhoon dragons: Water, Death
Lightning dragons: Earth, Air
Volcanic dragons: Earth, Fire
Sirocco dragons: Air, Fire
Plague dragons: Air, Death
Avalanche dragons: Water
Blight dragons: Nature, Blood
Dust dragons: Death
Tsunami dragons: Water, Blood
Creep dragons: Nature

The Tsunami dragon will be up next. It will have the ability to generate it's own bloodslaves which, as an entirely aquatic Pretender, should make it a rather interesting option.

Here's the attack sprite :

Enjoy!

Re: Cataclysmic Dragons
 

Hmmm, looks like a wolf to me.
Maybe lees bulky teeth?

Re: Cataclysmic Dragons
 

Thanks for your input, Swan.

The critter this dragon was based on had the biggest, bulkiest teeth of any predator that ever lived. They make even Megalodon's teeth look pitiful in comparison. I admit there is a certain "wolfishness" to the sprite, but I'm fine with that, and happy overall with the sprite.
