I'm no longer very familiar with all the mechanics behind Dragon Cave (I was around at the beginning or so, when they were still using sprites from other artists and even official games such as Final Fantasy), but I've been checking to see what different types of dragons they have when I get the chance to. I still like the site; I just really like the concept behind all of it.
This "Ascended Project" sounds interesting and I'm totally gonna go take a look at it.
As for this? My god, this was beautifully made. I'm sorry if I offend anyone by saying this, but why they haven't revamped the sprite for the Paper Dragon is beyond me. To put it more politely, its quality definitely doesn't come to par with the rest.
The current paper adult isn't actually that bad... compared to the adult Holly dragon. Yeah I get that it's the oldest sprite on the site, but for being one of the most sought-after dragons.... the sprite REALLY needs some fixing. That is just my opinion as well, hopefully fixes to all the old sprites (or replacements) will be made to bring them up to par eventually, but things like that take time to get around to, and at least we are getting plenty of new breeds.
Ascended project may be a very long time in coming around unfortunately, mostly due to the risk that even if it's limited to just the core dragons that are 4+ years old, as soon as it's released, everybody with a concept lined up will be all OMGNEEDTOMAKEASCENDEDSTAGENAOW. And thus causing a great deal of panic and confusion, something I'm pretty certain TJ isn't wanting to deal with.... as he doesn't seem much for the idea of making users feel like there's another required stage for new concepts.
I am glad you like the paper dragon though, worked hard on trying to get it done well. ^^
Yeah, the Holly Dragon is pretty bad--it's terribly pillow-shaded--but on the contrary I really don't think it looks worse. The paper one is shaded very awkwardly and has odd contrast because of the lack of sat/hue-shifting and the like.
But yeah, there's quite a few of them that needs fixed. Kinda hope that they get around to it soon too, but I can't really complain if they don't, I suppose. And yeah, that's true. I love the variety the site has now.
Ah, I see! Yeah, I looked it up on the wiki, and it looked pretty neat. And yeah. Chaos is not good. >:
But of course! Well, said effort certainly paid off.

But this has just been executed beautifully.
