#Texture to Bio Dragon

Hello! So Being a Bio donar, I love it's design, calls and how tiny/adorable it is but theres one thing that really bother me: How puddy, smooth it looks.

Yes I can see it does have some sort of texture, ONLY if you zoom in insanely. Right now from normal distance it just looks...not realistic? Other dragons have rough textures on them, you can see the scales and definition but the Bio feels ...unfinished.

Its way too smooth. I feel like it needs a frog-like design to it. That slimy shine and angular edges since it is suppose to be toxic when eating it. It could show players that such shiny-slimy skin indicate that it is toxic. It just..needs something added to it. Right now it feels way too off, something is missing from it and I believe its the texture of it.

THANK YOU!!! Finally someone said it. I’ve felt this ever since the bio’s reveal. It looks like a plastic toy from afar lol I really was hoping there would be more textures added to it but alas, there were not (except the super itty bitty tiny scales that we must zoom in to see). Anything like slimy as suggested, or even a leathery texture would look neat. Just something so it’s not so plastic-y looking.

Accurate, I thought it was just my PC for some reason.

it has no muscle detailing to look gentle and harmless but that eventually hurt it since that makes it look VERY different from other dragons in the game, to the point where people do say they feel like the dragon doesnt belong alongside the rest of the roster.
its supposed to have small, fragile scales, but it needs some variation in the scales so we can see texture on this bio. You can see it has tiny scales, yes, BUT only if you are the one playing the bio - if you are a dragon looking down at a bio you cannot see the scales. the dragon is simply too small. SS doesnt have this issue due to a bumpy texture it has alongside its scales.

it needs texture and tone, enough to stand out and be recognizable if you are an "average" size dragon (like 3 or 4) and looking casually at the bio. that isnt the case for its current scales

this is the reason why a major complaint of bio is that it looks like a "doll." you simply cant see the scale texture that would help break up this over-smoothness not seen on any other dragon, even in concept art.

isn't it covered in more like feathers then scales?

Nope, it's covered in very tiny scales that you can only see when zoomed in on it,
You might be thinking of the zygovo, that one has feathers.

I also think that the Biolumen does need a texture revamp, I mean it is a very cute looking and sounding dragon, and when I got to try it out in the test server it was exactly what I was hoping for, the only thing was that it looked too smooth. Which I thought they were going to change before 1.0 came out.
It doesn't need super gnarly and bumpy scales, but maybe something that will help it look less plastic, there are plenty of lizards in the real world you can take inspiration from, like the Tegu lizard or even geckos.

I already said thata few times and asked questions about that design, but i always get no reaktion at all or like the answer to question 'thats supposed to be like that'

Okay i they want it to be a damn plastic dragon they can have fun with it, but i wont play that thing.
Its a shame to be called a dragon with this itchy gum like design.
It just doesnt fit in the world they created without visible texture

It would be so much better and could be actually cute it it wouldnt look like it is wearing a swimsuit. (Or if it would actually wear a swim suit 👀❤️)

Its rather sad they want it to be that way. To be honest when I saw the trailer and they were the highlight of it I pretty much cringe because it really made teh game look..bad.
