Syleye: I'm loving the subspecies! Everything looks great!

Rawr: Both picture are showing runic roamer. However, I know what snowy mane looks like and my vote would be for it. I think a whiter mane would be a great contrast to the rest. But that's just my educated guess without seeing it.

[Rawr]

I fixed it, for some reason they looked different to me but were the same............ I'm not sure how.......

[TygerDarkstorm]

Can't decide what looks better on Irvine, Snowy Mane or Runic Roamer.

That's a really hard decision, I can't decide which I like better, but I think I'm leaning more towards the first.

[Rawr]

A friend told me the second one reminds him of the cover of "A Clockwork Orange".

Oki which genes to give this girl.. i adore her colors but somehow i cant gene her right her mate has skink (soon) shimmer and lace; so pref no gem genes if i can avoid it.. I would love her to be related to pirate/marine stuff some how i think though at the moment she looks more like a seer

[Syleye]

with a bandanna and saber

I had not even considered contour.. but it looks good!..sadly totally out of rapiers.... stole one from one of my other dragons heh

[Syleye]

I made some name signs for my subspecies babies, would like some feedback ( and yes I used modified clip art)

[Ana]

Uhhhh I like them!! The first one is my favorite. That claw with the crystal ball is amazing!! I use modified clipart on my namesigns too so

[TygerDarkstorm]

They're cute, but if possible, I'd recommend doing a transparent background over a white one.

[Syleye]

Thank you Tarn
Tyger thank you, the program I use won't make it transparent I wish it did

[TygerDarkstorm]

I can run them through Photoshop and drop the white and get them transparent; the white looks really bad with the arm one because the arm isn't meeting up with the edge of the frame so it's just kind of floating and doesn't seem as if it's attached to a body.

And yes Tarn, I still need to update the banner and stuff for the dracos.

[Syleye]

That would be awesome Tyger, thank you. May have to look into photoshop myself at some point

[TygerDarkstorm]

Their free trial is pretty generous and I find that $10 isn't much to ask for. There's a zillion tutorials out there for it as well, as it's a bit intimidating to learn. But I just can't seem to get any other program to function how I want for this kind of stuff, personally. But I know there are people who have success with Gimp, which is free and offers similar stuff to PS.

[Syleye]

cool, I'll check it out. been using a combo of Autodesk Sketch and Paint

[TygerDarkstorm]

Before I did a PS trial and paid for it, I just googled something similar to "free versions of Photoshop" and there was even an in-browser type program that worked pretty decently for basic stuff (it's how I made the current dracolycanthrope banner and badges) but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called.

I've not been on this site in god knows when but I have a question. Is it worth making a thread for commissions? Like I remember making one back when I started playing it and it kind of got drowned out very quickly by a few really popular peoples threads and I gave up

But would it be worth making another?

[Ana]

Depends on your artwork but generally art is popular in fr from what ive seen.

Me again! So I finally got the themed pair/potential subspecies I've been working on (thanks to being too lazy to exalt the half I had and the parents for the missing half after declaring the project a bust) and while my main concern is how interested people might be in it, the other thing I'm wondering is how best to gene them.

Here's Memento and Relic


They're both double-antique with a decent grey-range tert. The theme being that they are forgotten China/porcelain/other off-white material figures with the tert representing dust in varying thicknesses. The question, what genes do you guys think best work for that effect? They're both iri/shim and I planned initially to give Relic smoke as well, but I wonder if other genes could be better. Like piebald/paint for a sort-of cracked look?
