Hello! If you haven’t seen my hexie file progress yet, here it is. It’s a cat-dragon that I’m working on that’s inspired by Lepitaurs and is sort of an exploration for a breeding game idea that’s been knocking around in my brain for the last decade or so.
The basic idea behind this breed is that it’s meant to be a “pet” dragon. Not big enough to ride, not small enough to be a strictly decorative pet like a fish.
I’m pretty happy with the shape of the face now. I still need to mirror the nostril on the other side of the face and I have a lot of variations that I want to add, but the basic shape is pretty much what I’d envisioned when I first sketched these guys out. I’m actually much happier with this shape than with the last attempt’s! Different ear shapes and facial modifications (scales, teeth, gums, etc) are coming soon. Before I tackle that, I still have to get past the neck problem I was having before. This time, I’ve mapped out how long I want the necks to be in the image below.
This is just a mock up, an edited image made up to look like what I want the final product to be. The necks on the last version were a little too long and when I tried to shorten the neck, the game started crashing on me. This time, I’m going the opposite way and making changes to the neck -after- I’ve made changes to the head. I have my fingers crossed this’ll work.
For now, I think the best thing I can do is make a checklist so that I can at least remember to come back to certain things. A checklist is pretty much the best way I can stay organized.
