Sadly, I wasn't able to finish the project completely due to personal stuff, but I had a lot of fun doing it and was able to polish the story spine for Act 1 with some more detailed drawings. So here it is.

Daniel is an extroverted bearded dragon living in a world built around the needs of introverted reptiles. He does his best to fit in and hide or adjust the parts of himself that his society doesn't find acceptable.

But after suffering the loss of his only friend, Daniel goes off the rails and tries to push and force the world to be more like what he needs it to be, going so far as to selfishly adopt a pet dog and then neglect it through improper care.

In the end, Daniel has to learn that trying to force the ones around him to change to his social needs will not lead to happiness, and that instead he needs to seek out people like him and connect with them to truly feel fulfilled.
