Please take no offense, but you definitely should outsource the artwork. It could have a great story and gameplay, but art like that would ruin the experience. (I'm not suggesting that you were actually thinking of using that artwork for the game)  ;) Other than that, makes sure you add a lot of variety to the bosses: make sure that you can't win just by spamming them (as in the giant worm boss)

K thanks, as for the art, I wasnt planning on using that in the fininished product, (if there is gonna be one), whin im going to do is this process, hand-draw bone each bone, scan the drawings, ink and color in photoshop, put the bones on one document, each bone on a different layer, and send the final product to whoever is modding, so that way, the bones can be edited separately, but the modder knows what he finished deign will look like.
As  for the spamming, Im trying to come up with creative and different ways to interact and damage each boss, a good example of that for me would be the Arnassi Crab. I was thiking fo the Ivy Dragon, if you spammed it enough, then it would shoot 3 energy balls at you, each one would be a different color, and you would have to repeat the sequence todo major damage.

Very nice idea, but make sure that they cause major damage to you if they hit and make them extremely hard to dodge. That would encourage other methods (like pulling down a cliff face onto the monster using bind) *nudge, nudge*  :D

Ok, since sanguine is a re-occouring boss int the game, that shuldnt be a problem, but you dont fight sanguine himself til the very end, because he transforms into different (Kinda hideous) creatures, ill post the first MS Paint sketch (the ones that dont look cool) this afternoon.

Great, I can't wait to see it. BTW, if the choice is between good gameplay or good story, go with gameplay.  ;)

I like the idea and as a basic drawing these are good but you need to give them shading to give them more body and smooth those edges out a bit more. I would offer but at the moment I am not using my mouse for drawing and I perhaps never will again :(

I am suposed to be working on a design for DM but I am resting this rsi so it looks like I will have to finish it in solid media :(

I think it'll look great once it's finished.
