U001 - Diamonds are a Dragon's Best Friend

Marvel the Unidrak Mascot 8D

I want you to know, I'm so freaking scared of uploading my own designs. I have six more unidrak designs right now (all drawn pretty recently) as well as a ton of sketches/designs I need to rebase, but I'm really afraid people won't like them. I'm so pessimistic all the time _{someone help me} but I didn't create this world and all those species for creating's sake. I want to share 'em with others, but at the same time, I'm terrified for no reason at all. I've seen many species on different levels of creativity/art skills and a lot of them do surprisingly well, so I think my biggest problem is the fact, that I'm setting too high standards for my own work. Instead of sharing what I've got so far, I'm constantly trying to improve everything "off-screen" and I simply cannot meet my own expectations. Playing aRPG game done by someone else made me realize, that with this kind of attitude, I'm going nowhere. The point is - I need to start uploading my designs again, or I'll never really improve my skills. And designing (both - character and story/event) was something I loved since I was a child, so I don't want to throw it out the window.

Enough grumbling. Meet Marvel. He's a new group mascot for UnidrakPalace. He was abandoned by his denkeeper (that's how Drakonians _{that's a general name for all civilized species of Sakhengell} call those who take care of the young), then found and raised by Mavellius, the God of Creation. He lives in Crystalgate Palace - the capital palace of Sakhengell. As the group mascot, he'll be a part of multiple group activities, such as quests and Monthly Group Effort (collecting points by group members in order to unlock special events/raffles).

At first, I wasn't sure what to do with this design. I wanted to keep it, but then I decided to draw something different for myself. I didn't want to sell Marvel though, because of his color+diamond theme. My last name means "brilliant" (in a "diamond of brilliant cut" sense) in Polish, so he is kind of like an embodiment of myself as a patron of the group. If that makes sense? I hope it does.

Now, if you are not familiar with the species you might want to read the rest of this wall of text _{forgive me my broken English}

Their unique ability called "swift" allows them to run, fly or swim long distances with over 100 km/h speed, as well as helps them to survive harsh conditions of enviroment, such as air/water pressure, extreme cold, heat of a volcanic area etc. It is said that a pefrect combination of those three affinities, also known as "triffinity" can create an unique type of magic.

Unidraks, alongside "vibe beasts" (general name for three species - makrami, marami and amini) are the only creatures capable of speaking in a vibe language - method of communication which uses specific kind of vibration waves produced by vibe generator on dragon's back, the meaning of which is then "read" by long vibe sensors placed on both sides of dragons head. As a civilized species, unidraks have a specific vibe etiquette which applies in palace areas in order to prevent chaos and miscommunication among society. The vibe etiquette is necessary due to nature of vibe language, which works on longer distances and can be readable to any dragon and vibe beast nearby if used recklessly. Its emotional tone can also be used to mild control others, so vibe language is strictly forbidden during important meetings.
