[variousblankets]

Did she chomp into a pearl??? That can’t be too good for her teeth...

[ecto-dragons]

sfjsdsk naw her mouth is glued shut, but the image of a pc trying to chomp their pearl is really funny to me

flight rising suggestion

i think they should add a pink version of these it would be very nice :)

[ecto-dragons]

never done a recolor before hmm

[anomalous-skink]

Alright, y’all. I’ve got a little list of colours I absolutely can’t stand - give me a reason to love them. Show me some good dragons with at least one of these colours (but no tapir):

Orca, Metals, Thistle, Ultramarine, Lapis, and Bronze

[ecto-dragons]

it’s kinda hard to see, but metals makes a lovely filigree!

you know those cool little party avatars in the coli? the long skinny ones?

guess who figured out how to rip ‘em o/ it even works on dragons who are unnamed and therefore un-coli-able

[arb0k]

i have now learned how to auto generate them

the lair database from hell has become 500% more hellish

[charoite-burrower]

t-teach me your ways this would save me so much time in photoshop

[slighteyewing]

You could use this:

http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/ID FROM GENERATE CODE/ID FROM GENERATE CODE.png

Just exchange the ID FROM GENERATE CODE using your dragon’s ID. It also works with the sprites from coli, just copy the link from above and exchange “portraits” to “battlesprites”.

Example for portrait | Example for battlesprite

[arb0k]

Thank you for the addition! Just take note that you have to do a little more than simply add your dragon’s ID. The final url looks like this:

http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/286232/28623142.png

Where the last number is the ID, but the first you have to calculate. You can get by removing the last two digits and then adding 1.

Tada! The Excel formula looks something like this:

=IMAGE(concatenate(“http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/”,CEILING((D2+1)/100),“/”,D2,“.png”)) 

Where D2 whatever cell is storing the ID number. You can also use something similar to generate [img] tags for use in bios or forum posts!

=concatenate(“[img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/”,CEILING((D2+1)/100),“/”,D2,“.png[/img]”)

I’d like to thank this post for making my own spreadsheet 10 times as hella

[clan-cysegr-fr]

@myndris thought you might find this useful

[toxicfr298026]

@hungrytundras your clan page Greatly Interests me

[sentimental-bottlesnake]

Save yourself some time and use this code generator, it’s a-fucking-mazing

Code Generator

[applejuice-fr]

The easiest way I know is to just use the dragon’s URL (the one FR gives you when you click on “Generate Code” on your dragon’s profile page) and then just exchange the 350 in the middle with coliseum/portraits and remove the _350 at the end.

So for example, if this is my dragon’s URL (bolded parts are what I mentioned above):

[url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=43956434] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/439565/43956434_350.png[/img] [/url]

Doing this:

[url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=43956434] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/439565/43956434.png[/img] [/url]

will give me this:

It comes with the neat feature of linking to the dragon. Obviously you can just use the [img]…[/img] part if you just want the picture and no link. 

This works for the battlesprite, too. Just use coliseum/battlesprites instead of coliseum/portraits!

Nitty Gritty Worldbuilding FR Asks

There was a good worldbuilding ask thing around a while ago but I can’t find it. So I thought I’d just write another one, hopefully there aren’t too many overlaps!

1. How/why did your clan get it’s name?

2. Are there any other clans living near by? Are they friendly or are they rivals? Tell us about their interactions with your clan.

3. What is your clan’s main source of income? 

4. What items does your clan have to import from other flights/clans/etc? Who is in charge of that?

5. Does your clan produce any sort of item coveted by other clans? Specialty items, services, food/drink?

6. Is you clan independent or is it ruled by another governing body?

7. Is your clan religious? Is there a single dominating religion or belief system in your clan or is it relaxed about different faiths?

8. What sort of superstitions do many in your clan believe? Is there any merit to it, or is it just wives tales?

9. Any serious taboos?

10. How is your clan operated? Is there a single leader, a council, or something else?

11. How is food stocked, stored and inventoried for rations during the lean times? Is there a specific dragon in charge of that?

12. How are your clans defenses operated?

13. How is waste removed from the clan?

14. Does your clan have livestock of any kind?

15. How is water managed in the clan?

16. Is there a community hatchery/nursery, or do parents rear their young separately?

17. Who teaches the younglings the basics?

18. How does your clan view Exaltation? Is it an honor, banishment, something else?

19. If your clan has a diverse number of dragons of different elements, how does that affect society? Are some dragons prejudiced against certain elements/breeds? How does the clan handle this?

20. Are there Beast Clans near your clan? How does your clan interact with the Beast Clans?

21. Are there some Beast Clans that are allies and others that are enemies?

22. Is your clan located near where the Emperor was sighted last? How is it preparing for that?

a mockup of what leopard could have been vs what it looks like

obvs no shade to the fr artists. they do stunning work, that familiar was amazing?? i just feel like leo/could could have been... something more, mainly with the colors

i wanted mine to more closely follow an actual clouded leopard design, and i wanted it to have the same color variations that pin/trail and ja g/ro s have with radioactive. in the end it kind of looks like a mix between ja g and poi but yannow... whatever

* please keep in mind i’m not a professional artist and this isn’t polished at all- i was just curious as to what my interpretation of the gene would look like

if there are any other interpretations of what it would look like floating around, swing it by me!! i’d love to see

[flightdescending]

hey u know what would be cool (thanks @deer-rising and @notquitedrowned i stole your dragons for this) 

there would be a button, maybe underneath the info box, where you get to pick from available backgrounds so it’s not limited to the dragon’s element at all. the exalt pillar/flight themed ones would be unlocked by default but they could release new ones the same way as vistas. and it could either be that you unlock them on your whole account or you equip them like apparel so they’re singular items. either way would be viable probably. and of course the default white background would still be an option. don’t want to ruin all those fake-transparency skins and accents! not all of the backgrounds would have to be flight themed either, there could be libraries and kitchens and random landscapes and etc. etc. ~*Imagine*~

[royal-harpy]

Heyo FR artists/writers!

Me and @xayah-fr are thinking of doing a FR zine. I have mentioned it before but couldn’t handle all the organization by myself and now I got my buddy helping. We are currently at the early stages of planning but we want to know if there’s interest still in this before going any further. Also yes this zine will be free and will be a pdf since we don’t own anything Flight Rising and second, this is both our first zine. Please boost/tag if you think anyone is interested!

Theme: Home 

Any scene that shows your clan/dragons doing activities such as cooking or dining with their fellow clanmates in what they see as home. You can also draw a guide to local foods/faunas! 

[ecto-dragons]

i’d be very interested if you went through with this!

[proximadraconi]

(code is here, and don’t forget to smASH THAT REGENERATE BUTTON—)

legend has it that some ice spirals have developed feathers to insulate them from the freezing cold winds of the southern icefield
