Dragon Fun Coming to JumpStart!

Posted on April 6, 2010 by JumpStart

UPDATE: The Enchanted Sanctuary, where kids can hatch and raise dragons, is now live at JumpStart.com.

Last week, we announced that Jumpeez would soon be able to hatch, raise and train pet dragons in a brand new area of JumpStart.com. Now, we’re back with more sketches from the JumpStart artists. Check out the art below to see how they designed dragons that are packed with personality!

It all started with some sketches…

Expressive eyes are key...

add in some facial features...

and, of course, the rest of the body...

plus a splash of color to really show off those personalities!

 Then it was time for these scaly critter designs to be handed over to the 3D artists, where they were built as 3D models of dragons that can…

smile...

look mad...

and even play catch!

The team is still hard at work designing the special dragon habitat where Jumpeez will be able to watch their dragons grow and train them to breathe fire and fly. But, if you’d like to see one of these critters in action ahead of time, stop by the Dragon Playtime kiosk in the arcade! While this game is very limited in comparison to the dragon area that’s being built, you’ll be able practice playing fetch with a baby dragon prototype today.

Stay tuned here for more news on the arrival of the dragon sanctuary and these scaly friends at JumpStart.com. We’re planning to launch it before the end of April!

    I REALLY hope it will be free. I’m helping to raise my grandson (who has special needs) while my daughter goes to University. We don’t have extra money to pay for games. Tough to have to keep explaining that to a child.
