Development Pipeline - Tidal Shock Head WIP
Hello Patreons,
Here is an early look at the Tidal Shock head concept. Designing dragons always takes a lot of time, several months usually. First we design the body structure, then the head look, then the body look, then the scales, and finally the colors and pattern palette. After that is finished, we move on to designing the elders, the babies, and any gender dimorphism.
We have decided to go with Ribbon Fins for the Tidal Shock as we have already used Spike Fins on the Inferno Ravager and Acid Spitter and are quite pleased with the way they look. This will be our first dragon using ribbon fins.
We are also exploring colors for the Tidal Shock, being a sea creature, blues and purples sound fitting. Please let us know which head style and colors you like in the comments! We will be taking your comments into consideration during the design process.
Thank you for being a Patreon! We appreciate your support!

I feel like the iconic look should be like b1 but the other colors could be separate skins
B1, B2, D5 are just perfects to me, so pretty the colors an details
Are the fins going to go down the body to the tail?
I personally really like D1, but A4/B4 would make more sense in my head, as it would be like camouflage to look like kelp.
I like c3
Maybe a mixtape with C2 and D7. Awesome designs 👌
Can't wait to exp;ore the oceans with these beauties!
D1 C1 and B2 look great
I love C4 and D8!
I love B2!
This is so exciting!!! D1 is my fav!
d6 a3 and c4 are my favorite from a colourblind perspective
Some fins can be added to the head, and the color is supplemented by white
I love all the d’s
I think the entire ribbon fins will make the dragon look like a kelp, why not try fins in the shape of Phycodurus eques?
I love the pattern of the B´s and D´s. Colorwise i really like the A3 and A4 as well as the ones on the bottom line D5, 6, 7, 8 <3
For me D3 and B4
b2 and d3 are lovely
I like B4 and B2.
I love B 1 and 2 and the entire D line
Incredible choice of colours!! I'd either go with B2 or D1 for the blues. The entire D line looks stunning especially the greens.
literally all the Bs and Ds are incredible. I love the striped look and I also really love C1 and C2 with the speckles. I am SO excited to play as this dragon, I foresee it becoming a new favorite of mine!!
B pattern 1 and 2
All the Bs And Ds look amazing
All the Ds look good small and large. And all the Bs
A2, B1, C3, D1 and D7
B2
I love o8 so much..
I am really liking the look of this dragon. All the D skins are my favorites but they are all well done.
I love the ribbon fin approach, very oceanic and differentiates it from the ASD and IR. B2 is absolutely my favourite!
but with all the respect to tidal shock's concept designer,are you really going to use ribbon fins instead of spike fins...? tbh It reminds me more of oarfish, not eastern dragons. x.x
Its not suppose to be an eastern dragon. Its a long drake. They are different. Personally i think the oarfish/ribbon fins match it beautifully and it’s different
I think b1, b2, d3 and d7 was dope
looks great
The spots and stripes look better. Perhaps a little bit of iridescent scales.
D3
A2 B4 D3 are my favs but they are all stunning
B2 and D2 are my favs
B2, D1, D3 and D7 pop out the most to me. Gorgeous dragon idea BTW!
A2 and D5 match the game's current saturation and vibrancy. I'd love to see more example exploring these two palettes more.
Loving B2, D3, A1, and D7 Purple is my favourite colour so would love to see those added (plus D7 is super pretty even if not purple)
c4 d8
Either B2 or D4 are my favorites. One is more camouflaged while the other is more likely to alert predators to stay away.
I like the style of A1 because of the bold compliment/contrast between the scales and fins; I like the D-series of concepts for the same reason; plus, they offer extra "activity" in design with the stripes and spots. Particular color schemes I like are A1 and A2, B1 and B2, C4, and again, the D-series designs. I also like red, so I'm definitely for that color. Generally, I think the ribbon fins are a great idea—they offer novelty and will appeal to a craving for a "different" dragon that resides in a biome that's dramatically unique compared to land and air.
B2 😍
D4 is my fav. I love the contrast 💞
B1 - B2 and D5 are my favorites
A1 & A3; B2; D6 & D7
They all look so good! But if I had to chose, A2, B2, D1 and D5 are my favorites. Usually I don't like green and red- too chrismasy- but you made it work and not looking overwhelming on that one
i like d8
My favs are D1 then A2 and D7 🩵
Love D1-D4 the blues match it so well
I really like B2 and D3. Really love the colors and patterns.
Mine are D1, D7 and C4
I really like D5 and C3. Those heads look more dragon esque.
The ribbon like fins are an interesting choice. I will still be sad they aren't the spiky fins still. As I look from a distance, I came to the conclusion that B2 and D7 look the best. They stand out among the others with their colors and pattern variety
Honestly love all of them but A1, D6, and C4 look the best to me
B1, B2, and D3 ❤️
I like the color and design choice of C1. I feel it gives it a smooth and calm feeling if that makes sense. The dot pattern is a neat thing to play with though, since most dragons so far have stripes or spots of color.
All of them are amazing, but the D's are my personal favorite looking. A2, D2 and C1 for color!
very fond of the way the colour and pattern blend into the fins on C1 & D1.
Loving the colors for D1, D2, D3, D5, D6, D7, B1, B2, and B4. All color concepts represent the ocean well though! And the pattern I think B1, B2 is nice, simple but diverse. Loving it! Ribbon fins are perfect!
Really love B2 and D3!
My favs are B1, B2, and D1.
I looove B2 and C1!
top fave are D4 and B2. Do like B1 and C1 aswell
B1 and D7 my favorites
I’m loving B2, C2, D3, and D7! Maybe the scrapped patterns here could become future skin patterns someday
D3 and D7 look awesome!
My favorites are C1, B2, A2, and D3. The patterns for C1 are my favorite though.
D3, B2, C4 Look so good! Every color is fine but the looks of those I really love!
B2 🐊
The colours of B2 and C4 are amazing
My favorite I think it’s the D7, but I also love the D3 and A3. All of them look great!
So a tidal class dragon sweet I love the design
