World of Warcraft: Dragonflight - Djaradin
Early in development for Dragonflight I had the opportunity to explore ideas for several new cultures including the Djaradin, a race that is a hybrid of Vrykul and Fire Giants. Here are a few pieces that I made.
They possess an innate ability to harness fire magic, enabling them to reshape their surroundings at will. Within their society are two primary castes, the Warlords and the Flameshapers. They capture and subjugate Proto-dragons, utilizing them as formidable weapons. They also believe the consumption of dragon hearts bestows upon them the magical essence inherent in a dragon and exhibit shamanistic elements.
Idea that as they became more powerful, they would fill out their tattoos and shift toward blue.
Caster versions.
Some callouts.
Material callouts.
Weapon ideas. They would basically pull these out of lava pools and it would harden as it cooled. More pristine weapons would be carved but keep some of the shape that it had when it was pulled.
Movement callout.
