Here’s another update to SPACE DRAAAAAAGONS! This month’s theme: Heroes and Villains!
I was honored to design Carmaletta’s castle fortress! We pulled aesthetic elements from Skeletor’s fortress, with the classic skull-faced main entrance that you saw quite often in the 80’s-90’s! The architecture has some organic shapes mixed in as well too, giving it a very Frankenstein-esk appearance! (I’m really proud with the lava drool too!)
Next four character designs are not by me, but I thought I would give a shout out to the artists who made them: SpicyDurassno and Lizardpink ! from left to right we have main character Toby, thicc ai navigator Angela, prissy space slut Brittany, mommy love interest Noelle and the evil Carmaletta! Tho I didn’t design the latter, I did help with choosing the colors! I felt a silver/white would make her look more mature and help her really stand out from the other characters! She really does have some Sephiroth meets Bowser vibes in the silhouette piece I did!
Now here come the machines! First one is a normal enemy designed by SpicyDurassno! The drawing next to his is the same robot but at the computer console (and yes, we designed it to look like an arcade cabinet!). At the end of the day Space Dragons isn’t too serious of a story, so you gotta put in little fun things like this to lighten the mood once things do get a little harrowing!
And last but least we have the first drafts of the bosses you’ll see in the game! We took a lot of inspirations from older anime including transformers and Voltron! The latter of which is the most significant since all these machines have to combine at some point! That’s why I say “first drafts” because who knows how these guys will even combine at all! But that’s the most rewarding part in concept art: sometimes you just don’t know! Not everything will be used, but also not everything will get tossed out! Who knows: maybe one of these guys will get “demoted” to being a normal enemy!
As a final note I would like to thank you all for being patient with me! I quit commission work to make this my main gig, so supporter posts have been relegated to once a week. I do assure you though, that this game will have copious amounts of pregnancy, stuffing and BBW content that I will be sharing in the future (I have read the script!)! I just haven’t shown a lot of that yet because I wanted to theme each post to a certain topic so I can better explain the development process! Next month we’ll be delving into level design and side characters! Look forward to more Space Dragon goodness!
