Realizing a Mistake: Astrabone #12
3 years ago
General
I really need to get back to him soon.
There's a few things I realized I want to change (excluding his colors).
1) I learned that Astra is a girl's name. I didn't know and I was trying to make Astro "but different". Similar to Ēbon. So whoops. Gonna change his name to Astrobone next time I post pics of him.
I had a thought to play with the idea like the original is a girl and number 12 was an experimental clone, being the only male clone of the bunch. hehe
2) His ability to hypnotize anyone who looks into his special eyes. I have a bit of an aversion to hiding or covering body parts, and it turns out I really don't want to draw Astrobone constantly adverting his special crystal eyes from the gaze of anyone he's with. He can't control it or amplify its power, like other dragons can with their own ability(more on that later). It most certainly doesn't help with the type of erotic character he's meant to be. Like, think of that stereotypical DnD bard and you'll have Astrobone's shtick in a nutshell. Sure his dragonspell sucks and is practically power of suggestion. Even though he has to work for it, it feels to be a mismatch with how much he sucks with magic or that it is too potentially helpful to him.
Only issue is, I'm not sure what to replace that ability with yet. >3>
I'm hung up with trying to figure out something that could be powerful, but also exemplifies how much Astro sucks. And this time, not give him every reason to hide his eyes.
Or maybe I should just figure out something very weak but can be powerful if someone other than Astro knew how.
