my two cents on the everlux drama
am I a fan? no, but keep in mind I haven’t been a huge fan of any ancient breed. I have a number of issues with their design but it doesn’t involve the concept of being a grub kinda dragon or how fat they are. mostly it’s just that all their different components feel a bit jarring when all put together so I find them kinda cluttered.
but on the other hand, I’m used to being disappointed in ancients for entirely different reasons. I’d SO much rather be disappointed that they went a little too cluttered for my tastes than getting the same “this ancient could pass for a modern easily” that we’ve gotten so many times already
so good on staff for trying something new, I hope we get more attempts like this. maybe the first one didn’t hit for me but there’s always more chances. there is also a lot of valid feedback that I really hope the artist(s? might just be Undel) receive, but this wasn’t just an everlux issue (don’t get me started about fathom M and aether M and undertide M and)
and I hope the next breed is even fatter
#I was about to give up on ancients because I found them so boring#because they did not push the mold of what dragons could be like they said they would#despite all the ones we’ve had so far this feels like the first actual attempt at an ancient to me#aberrations barely come in second place but they don’t count for me btw. very tame 2 headed design#I have my gripes with FR’s designs and staff’s choices but a lot of people are blowing this one waaaay out of proportion#I said this somewhere else but they feel like a spore creature someone just kept slapping parts on#but idk. I’m willing to say ‘ok this isn’t for me’ and move on#but I’m saying ‘ok this isn’t for me’ in a different way this time because I can see the attempt. and I think that’s important#rambles#I’m writing this instead of sleeping#goodnight now
