Nah, not an odd one at all! I’ve always personally hated how too “Cynder” Kurogh looked, yet I felt this strong design theme for him. I want it to tie into his character and personality, so you take one look at him and think ‘okay yeah he’s a dirtbag asshat’, with fear and archery in mind. I’ve even thought about changing his breed, but the doodles I’ve done with him haven’t felt right . I’d post but I had deleted them before they were complete Dx
There was a specific look I was going for with Kurogh originally, similar to Cynder’s corrupted adult form with his nose and chin horns forming a ‘bow’ shape; as his main attack are ‘fear arrows’. The horns were to curl up into a ‘crown’, but I feel like I never got the crown like look I felt was meant for him.
Kurogh’s very first concept art and name spelling, veeeery early FD days 8,D He also originally had Cynder’s green eyes, but that changed to blue to be more piercing. Also before his “Fear Arrows” were implemented. I ended up liking his chin spikes on Havok more than on Kurogh pffpfppff
But since I’ve strayed further and further from LoS styled dragons (or, trying to x,D), I think when I update Kurogh’s design, it’ll more reflect how he may appear in the original take on Kurosia. Or, a concept of what it could be 😀
Suggestions are always welcomed! Kurogh admittedly has always been a weird character for me design wise. I hated how much he looked like Cynder, but at the same time, I liked the idea of Cynder seeing a lot of herself in him. With her looking so much like him, she’d question if perhaps she’s just as awfully stubborn as he is in her own morals; possibly leading her own friends and family to a destructive fate. It ain’t workin’ for me though, I’ll update his design eventually @_@’ Straighter horns or curled ones, whatever it be it sure aint goin’ to stay like dis!
TL;DR – Thank you for your suggestion and excuse my frustrations with this dumb boy’s design Dx
