Dragalia's Knights of Glory art

Now, it's been gone over how Dragalia Lost actually used quite a bit of inspiration from one of Cygames' previous works, Knights of Glory, for anything from character designs to dragons.

Of course, this showed up quite literally with characters like Lea when they quite literally just had the "Knights of Glory" showcase, but it also showed up in characters ranging from Jakob to Mikoto to Jurota (also showcasing the alighting butterfly blade, also in Dragalia):

However funny it is to see who we came to know as different characters in a different media, though, the dragons are 10x funnier to look at.

You see, it seemed that Knights of Glory had a certain 'evolution system' to dragons, where they'd develop and grow more fancy, if they weren't inexplicably transforming into an attractive humanoid woman because of course-

And oh boy, we can kinda see alternative evolutionary paths for the Greatwyrms.

There's Midgardsormr, who seems to most closely resemble the fully evolved form from the start...(he also gained an element, as this dragon line apparently has no element!)

Mercury, who is in her middle phase:

Imagine a hydra Mercury!

...Brunhilda? Not very sure on this one. She might just be a new design, but here's my best guess for what dragon they might have been inspired from:

Of course, in her 'final form' if this was a dragon they used as inspiration.

Jupiter, whom I'd almost put in his middle stage for closeness of design:

Last but not least, poor Zodiark, who really got hammered with the skeletal dragon design and is also in his middle stage and is also drooling 24/7:

Where is his stomach? Where are his organs? Why is he bipedal?? He lost some bulk in his transition to Dragalia, too. Honestly, I like Dragalia Zodiark more than his inspiration here.

That's enough of full evolutionary trees for now, though.

Some other funny ones to me include:

-Silke turning into a skeletal horse on her final evolution:

-Baby Leviathan going :-D all the time:

-Baby Poseidon (honestly a lot of the babies are funny since we only knew their final forms, typically);

-Possibly Cat Sìth inspiration???

-Baby Zephyr:

-Baby Nidhogg, sitting all prim and proper and ready to watch Euden die still:

-Teenage...Satan? Having a evil little :) face going on there...

Speaking of, quite a few of the dragons were actually repurposed into bosses, as with Satan above, like everyone's favorite:

(We must not let Phraeganoth be revived! ...Until Bondforged Zethia's story, at least).

Might be a stretch here, but maaaaaybe a bit of Kai Yan in here?

The Hypnos/Thanatos/Mega Monarch Emile line's general design:

This is getting long enough as it is, but if you want to see a mix of some old with a lot of new art that they might have used as inspiration for more dragons/adventurers, here's the link I used to the collections of KoG artwork that people were able to preserve:

Hopefully you find it just as interesting and funny as I did perusing the old art!

Systober Day 25 - Alter With The Most Strange/Curious Role - Legion (It/They) Ironically - despite being unaware of the system's existence for most of our life, we've always been prone to introspection and self-analysis. As soon as we realized we were a system, we focused down hard on understanding what was going on in our head... but being so aware of our own identity issues meant all of the stress from that was put into a big pile. And it kept piling up until it made an alter. So, we have Legion - an alter stemming from Dissociative Identity Disorder that literally is our identity issues. It's our only true shapeshifter - they're able to copy the identity of anyone in the system who's nearby, or "tap" an alter for memories to form a temporary ID, copying a real-life person or someone from an introject's source. It's used this both to help other alters (assuming the form of Papyrus' grandfather to help him through a recent crisis) and as a defense mechanism (it once turned into a person we care about to stop someone from attacking it). But what's extremely weird is it has no "true form" - they don't have an identity other than what they can copy. When anyone's not looking at them in the Inner World, there's a sense that they disappear until someone looks at them again. It has no reflection in a mirror, it doesn't show up on cameras, and it can't draw itself because there is no self to draw. We weren't even sure if they were real for a while, but it's demonstrated the ability to front, and after letting it spend some time around us it's starting to develop a better understanding of what it means to be a person. They're eager to learn, are starting to establish boundaries with others, and it's even assumed a number of 'default forms' so it's not always copying someone else - so there's hope for them yet! - Terry

Monia has now made THREE masterwork beds that are themed about her various encounters with hypothermia

I think the winter was really hard on everyone. At one point everyone was laying in bed like the grandparents from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and just passing a recently killed elk around like a loaf of bread. Things got really rough. I mean BB had a full on mental breakdown because of this (and her racism let's not forget her racism)

Designing stuff is fun. Earlier today I looked through some cards from me and my brother's card game and thought

Hmm, there's only two of these four armed aliens, and with both of them you don't see the lower bodies. Maybe I could do something fun there...

Snake bodies!
