It’s time to share a design of a race with dragon ancestry that we’ve made for Book of Zhu. What it means is that we got to play around to create a hybrid creature, making it mainly Zhuni (human features) with Zhu Dragon characteristics.
There were several features that we looked forward to adopt as the Dragons themselves are majestic creatures with visible mana bursting through their scales since they create mana and chi in their own mana furnace and also their wings are covered in tiny scales that make them extremely tough.
As hybrids it seemed interesting for us to keep the mana bursts in several points, specially as a feature that would add impact in a fight, a punch or kick fuelled by an extra power to land it! We would think twice before stepping on their toes…
Here are more characters that we’ve worked on:
Alternative outfits: Aya, Rani, The Empress, Eraeli and Ing Rao.
Concept: Mika, Maru and Yi-Sunai
There’s more about the project right at the Book of Zhu webpage.
★Have a great weekend and stay inspired!★

The scales on the knuckles and ears are subtle, but unique. They definitely bring a bestial “edge” to the design. Really interesting hybrid interpretation!

We really tried to give them the feeling of what powerful beasts would look like in human-like vessels, so we’re really happy to know your impression on them. Thank you!
