Behind the Scenes: Singe Crest Concept Creation (Patreon)

Once again, it's time for a behind the scenes look at our concept creation process! This time, it's the Singe Crest.The Singe Crest (previous code named the "Healer Wyvern") was always meant to be a small, support-type species. He was also meant to be the most colorful so far in the game. We started with a sketch to get the base idea we wanted.However, we felt the wings were too rounded and would not reflect the speed of the dragon, so we decided to change their shape to be more aerodynamic. We knew we wanted a way for there to be lots of surface space to show off his pattern, so we decided to try connecting a membrane to his legs. However, this was scrapped as it didn't look quite right.Instead, we decided to give him additional flaps and membranes that would fold in for high speed flight and fold out for soaring. Then we again did small tweaks to the wing shape and feet.Here we did some final tweaks to the head fin and then moved on to picking a color scheme and egg. Like most of the dragons' eggs, the Singe Crest egg was inspired by a real world gem stone.With the final color tweaks in, the final product was complete.
