#dracumulus

Dracumulus was originally inspired by the Togekiss line and the vietnamese lions from Lunar New Year. The design has lost some of those elements, but some of those features are still there! Dracumulus is supposed to go from a bird, a wyvern, to a dragon that doesn’t need wings to fly. I’m really proud of this guy’s design :) I imagine it floats all the time

Canaroc was originally inspired by Rhyperior! It keeps the brown and the horn, but it’s pretty vague (which is good, imo). It also has canary features. Originally it had wings. The design overall hasn’t changed much, but I thought the wings cluttered the design a bit too much (along with the cage-belly). It still keeps a bit of the wings in the ears though!

I also like how it has a mix of different animal features- reptile, bird, and mammal (the paw pad and furry tail). I think it’s fun

I really like the contrast of these designs, and I think they work really well together :)

Design Pages

Dracumulus: You can see it’s first design here. I have earlier sketches of it but the design is basically the same. The stage with the most changes is the last one, with the first draft being able to switch between four legs or two legs and two wings. Second stage has a few tweeks. First stage is the same.

Canaroc: Also doesn’t have much changes besides the wings, tail, and belly pattern.

Both of them dont have many changes! I always liked their designs from the start so there wasn’t much to fix.

Foils

If you haven’t read the first post, “foils” are basically the same as shinies from Pokemon!

Dracumulus: First set of shinies are based off of clouds at sunset, second set is Canaroc’s color palette, and third is based off of clouds and the sky (the last stage having more thundercloud colors) for the Type foil. The third stages have colors moved around like normal Dracumulus, except for the Canaroc-colored one

Canoroc: it’s first shiny is based off of smoky quartz with flourite, second set is based off of Dracumulus, and third set are browns that I think convey rockiness. Dracumulus-palette keeps the third stage as different colors.

Pixel Art + Heights

These are upscaled by 10! I don’t have any old sprites of these guys, and none of the other monsters from now on will.

Here are their heights!

Drac1 = 0' 10" / 25 cm Drac2 = 2' 6" / 76 cm Drac3 = 5' 5" / 165 cm (this is when it is standing, not it’s length)

Can1 = 2' 0" / 61 cm Can2 = 3'0" / 91 cm Can3 = 6'3" / 191 cm
