Creature Suggestion: Admirakon

lothar • 4 January 2024 at 3:35 AM

A new Year and a new suggestion!
Sometimes when I'm in the bathroom, I look in the mirror, see the reflection of myself, and imagine that there maybe another one person in the mirror. Maybe a different version of myself XD
So I draw this dragon, inspired by the mirror
This baby still needs a name and the description. I'd appreciate if you can give me some ideas and advice!

Name: Admirakon (by @yrnaelle)

Art: (by myself)
https://ibb.co/pK8qhBx

Description: (by @yrnaelle)
The Admirakon is a majestic creature characterized by its unique fascination with self-reflection. It possesses an ethereal and captivating beauty. The admirakon spends its entire existence enchanted by its own reflection, in which, the reflection does not faithfully reproduce the colors of the original. However, this does not deter the Admirakon, as it yearns to encounter its alternate self and is eager to pass through the mirror to make that meeting a reality.
The wisdom of centuries resides in its eyes. Anyone gazing into them will be captivated by what they perceive, and each observer witnesses unique visions not seen by others. The contrary occurs in the reflection of the mirror, the vision of a dark future that envelops an alternate world.

@lothar
Oh woah, this is very epic!! The design look so..... Ethereal and mythical, I honestly really like how there's an inverted and ghastly version of the creature in the mirror, it's like said mirror is reflecting an alternate dimension!
Overall, 🐉🪞/10!!
For the name, maybe you can name it either Altermagon (alternate, image, dragon) or Wyrmenath (wyrm, enallaktikó (Greek for alternate), and kathréftis (Greek for mirror))? Just a suggestion tho!
And as for the lore, I don't have that many ideas this time (sorry ^^"), but maybeeeee you can make it be somewhat connected to The Summoner? Again, just a suggestion!

Hi! @lothar your creature is so beautiful! I coule suggestions:

Miradrakos (mirāri for mirror in latin) and (drakōn from the ancient greek)

Admirakon (admiration and the end of drakōn)

Dragunscath (dragún and scáthán "mirror" both in Gaelic)

Tezcaquetzalco (Tezcatl "mirror" and Quetzalcoatl "serpent god" both from the Aztecs)

@shirothekittehlover
Thanks xD

redflipflap • 4 January 2024 at 11:03 AM

This is such a cool design! I like it a lot😊

lothar • 5 January 2024 at 12:48 AM

@shirothekittehlover
Shiro! I love your ideas. The summoner is cooool. You're so creative, thank you❤️

@yrnaelle
All the names are nice! I like Admirakon too! It reminds me of a story about narcissus (?
Now my baby has a beautiful name, thank you so much!

@ashlinnhi
@redflipflap
Thank all of you!

@lothar
Now that you says it, I admit there is some kind of link and it would be an interested thing to put in the description of your Admirakon 😉

YOU ARE WELCOME 😃

@lothar
WOAH! Absolutely shocked by the art, this is so cool ❤️ I love the species name, too, it gives me Balrog vibes for some reason. Ooh and the mirror concept is so amazing, I can't wait to see the description develop. Stoked to see this critter ^^

ceraphi • 5 January 2024 at 4:44 PM

@lothar this creature looks so celestial and otherworldly, it definitely gives outer space vibes. I especially like the contrasting colours! 💕

I just had a thought: What if the mirror the creature is holding, allows it to see into an alternate universe or something like that?

yrnaelle • 5 January 2024 at 5:17 PM

@pastelrabbit I am not Lothar but I like the idea, what if with that idea, the dragon in the mirror is from that alternate universe ?? 😃
Actually I am trying to write some parts of the description, do you mind if I put your idea in it ?

hikanu • 5 January 2024 at 6:29 PM

@yrnaelle Perhaps it's trying to find a way into the crystal/mirror to meet its alternate self because it admires its reflection so much. 😃

yrnaelle • 5 January 2024 at 6:31 PM

@hikanu Love it!

twinkle • 5 January 2024 at 6:49 PM

@lothar omg the concept is really nice!! I love the colors too, has similar vibes as the Draqua and Balrog :0 It could even make as a Valentines creature, in the sense of self love hehe 😊 Since no one's pinged Ian yet and I really like this suggestion, @Ian ❤️

lothar • 5 January 2024 at 11:07 PM

Thank @yrnaelle for writing the new description!
And Thank all of you for leaving comments, ideas and suggestions!

yrnaelle • 5 January 2024 at 11:15 PM

@lothar Oh m'y dear you are more than welcome! 😃

ida92 • 6 January 2024 at 3:25 AM

@lothar It's really cool, I like how the eyes glow. ^^

flowerflare • 6 January 2024 at 10:41 AM

@lothar


It's so pretty! Your art is astonishing and I'd love to see this creature one day!

redflipflap • 6 January 2024 at 11:06 AM

ooooo i see we got a name now!!! i love it ❤️

chihiro_sang • 6 January 2024 at 2:25 PM

Cool, a mirror dragon without an evil context sounds cool.

noman15 • 7 January 2024 at 12:34 PM

I love how ethereal this dragon looks while still having a mirror theme.

dragrawr • 8 January 2024 at 10:35 PM

@lothar Lothar this one is so cute ;w; 🖤🖤🖤💙💙💙

prairie • 8 January 2024 at 11:25 PM

I love the 'broken mirror/reflection' esque design of this creature!! Would be EPIC if we did a 'trickster' month? (it gives me those theme vibes if it makes sense)
Also BEAUTRIFUL art, it feels so elegant and regal.

mr-blue-bones • 9 January 2024 at 12:06 AM

This is amazing, I want one so baaad! I love the blue markings, the purple in the fire, the shard tail, the reverse colored reflection, all of it!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

shirothekittehlover • 9 January 2024 at 6:57 AM

@yrnaelle
Very nice lore, it truly adds more epicness into the creature ^^
Love how each reflection on the eyes and the mirror shows vastly different visions: it feels so.... Legendary? Is that how you describe it?
Anyways, 20/10 : D

prairie • 6 October 2024 at 11:09 PM

This design just makes me feel some sort of way.
Its elegant, gorgeous and just emanates serene to me
