Development Pipeline: Vemon Drake Concept WIPS

if F had the crest E had would look cool and with the neck frill

all of these are so unique and so diffrent aaaaaaa but head E and like the armored one

Head E , Frill 4

the e face on teh last panel in so unique and i love it but what happened tyo the seaslayer worm?

I love that flower tail !!

i think the desighn of one from the second panel is perfect

I like the body on the 4th page (drake that is fully colored) For the head i would go with Concept F with the large horns from D. Though I am torn about either a flower like tail or a scorpion like tail

The one under it with the purple glow is cool

Ooooo I love 2

SO MANY NEW THINGSSSSS

i feel like the hidden barb is a good idea but scorpeon looks so cool

i think a more armored desighn would be good

Concept 5 (the last pic); B Variation; C Head. I love the way it looks like flower petals, hiding a venomous stinger in the tail. C style Head just carries that same flavor, especially if the frill moved and emoted like the ASD where it flared when the tails did. SUPERB Danger Warning. --- Does anybody know what niche this dragon is supposed to be? Is it a stealth hunter, a brute, a speed striker for hit and run?? Because while I love the Head and Tail concept from #5.B [Pic 6; B Variant Tail; C Variant Head] if its not going to be a speed dragon then I think those parts should be chopped off the sleek body and placed on the NECK and TORSO of the armored [Pic 2; Concept 1] style.

Frame 2 Body 1 with head D

love the concepts! personally i love the cat like concept where the spines flare up! where the barb is hidden until provoked! maybe give us like a key to open or close the barb's protective cover? as well i like concept 5 B with E head, my favorite is the cat like one though

I like the armored, scorpion-esque look. Would be nice to have a smaller, ASD-sized Drake with a bit of extra armor.

As much as I like second page 2 design, it seems too expected as a design, it’s exactly how I’d envision a venom drake. Now, the page with the panther like drake with the hidden barb, that sounds like a fun and unique playable character!

I like the slender design of 2, but the short legs of 1

Overall, I'm leaning toward the more viper/serpent design for the head and body. The key reason for this is very simple: at-a-glance identification. Sure, it's super basic and predictable to use that design for that element, but (especially new) players won't have to think too hard about what they're looking at. Snake = venom, the end. Further, evolution happens for a reason, and convergent evolution is a real thing. It's actually fine. For the record, I don't dislike any of the other head or body styles, just feel they might do better for drakes/wyverns/dragons of other elements. For example, someone else expressed a preference for the tanky body design; while I see their logic, I feel that might better suit as a rock/ice look for the fire/frost drakes. EDIT: Forgot the tail. I see there's a general scorpion design throughout the concepts, which I'm down for. But as much as I like the blade design seen on the serpentine model, I think it might be best to go with the "flower" design to help differentiate from the ASD's spines. The blade design might suit better as an icicle-tail for a frost drake.

The one with the tsil that flares out will be a fan favorite for sure

l love the one with the gnarled spines and the cool threatening pose

E and F, 2 for body

So ... many ... tasty ... concepts!! The longer I look, the more I lean towards the tanky armored variants for Venom. I feel like we have a decent amount of small speedy playstyles; it would be interesting to have a small-er end defensive rock. Not sure how viable it would be against big fliers; BUT having that armored scorpion show up in a cave or other spot one couldn't get distance/fly away would be terrifying xD I think the slicker viper/flower tail looks more ideal for a plasma-typing drake, perhaps~

I love that opening and closing tail!!

My take, the third image for the venom drake (the more viper looking concept). Then instead of just forgetting about the other concepts, reuse the first image for a Tanky drake. I prefer concept 1 with the head it has on the first image, the ram horns are fantastic. Another idea myself and a few others think that it would be great for the tank drake, would be if it’s crouch run was where it turned into a ball and rolled around instead of just running. We don’t have a tanky drake that isn’t a behemoth, and it would be great if we did. Along with adding another unique way for it to move.

I think of all the faces on the last picture D is my least favorite. The rest I love equally.

I like the ram like horns and the low profile head, please no more frills, it will feel too much like asd

Really cool concepts! Have you guys decided whether this will be a free drake or a dlc one? I'm personally hoping free but who wouldn't want a fancy venom boi for free?

I really like the bottom pictures top body (A) concept and I think it would go nicely with head C or you could make Concept A a male and the B concept a female as sexual dimorphism would be something really cool to see.

i like the opening and closing tail, you guys need to keep that

Honestly I love all of them, but the flower tail design I especially like. Could be like a trap evolved for the bio 🤔

I really love the 4th picture's concept, but have the fins on the head from concept 5

I can't see the difference between pic number 3 and 5 but this is my favourite concept with tail in the same shape of scorpion tail

I really like the 1s for the first two images but all of these are so cool. Also agree in the flower being amazing.

i like in the first picture's (number 1) spikes on its back but the body from second picture (number 1) and then the flower tail, that would look awesome

I love the body of the third image, But holy heck I adore the tail of the last image with the flower stinger! Personally like the viper head of the third image as well, But the fins remind me a bit of ASD.

That hidden tail flower is cool. But I like the body from the first picture more.

I really love the tail on consept 5 but I like the body and head of consept 4 a bunch also.

Concept five with body A and head C looks amazing

I really like the scorpion-like tail with the armored body

Personally I really like the first 2 pictures, I think an armored drake without wings is pretty cool and really poses a threat on the ground

HELL YEA

I agree it looks so cool

I like the idea of the more snake-like head. I def think it should move side-to-side like a lizard to make it really different from the more mammalian movements of the acid spitter. I’d say lean into full reptile!

I like concept 5 B, because of the glowing scales and hidden tail stinger. C or F for the head

Aw man but body B and head C is also so cool!!! Maybe they could have some more extreme sexual dimorphism

I agree concept 5 is so sick!! Body A and heads F and E are my personal favs. love the concept of the tail!!

Those open/closed designs for the tail look like they were meant to draw in bios

I like the idea of the barb hidden and when shown looks like a flower. Give off the feeling that it's natural habitat might something tropical that had big flowers and the like. Kinda like and Orchid mantis. Hiding in plain sight till it's too late.

Concept 5 body A with head F is dope
