last night i dreamed that flight rising released a new breed called "wish dragons." they were microscopic pathogens, and were created by the shadowbinder to spread some kind of disease among the dragons of light flight that would "prevent them from giving in to despair" over the situation with luminax, because she was worried that if the light dragons gave up on fighting back luminax they would be destroyed and it would come for her territory next. and also, they looked like this:

it was very controversial that they had nowhere to display secondary genes.

Was taking a look at the World Map this afternoon and finally figured out how to extract the Luminax textures from it. Combined the right-facing idle and roar strips for the above, and the left-facing ditto for the below (Luminax is not symmetrically coloured, so there's left- and right-facing strips for every animation).

Haven't attempted the walking animations, since as well as right- and left-facing there's also facing-front and -back directions - so four different pose strips, and there'd need to be 4 different gifs made. Blargh.

Feel free to grab copies of these to host elsewhere for your own use, if you don't want to just link to them here. No attribution needed since they aren't my graphics.

Scrolls of Divorce, Resurrection + other reject items

As with any game, not everything conceptualized actually made it too release. There's 4 known items that didn't make it to release: the Scroll of Divorce, the Scroll of Resurrection, the Double Scratch Battle Stone, and the Harmony Battle Stone

The Scroll of Divorce

Yes, you heard that right. Pre-release, dragons were monogamous. If you wanted to mate a dragon with another dragon but one dragon already had a mate, you would have had to go to the marketplace and buy a scroll of divorce. (Disclaimer: It's unclear how the scroll of divorce would have been obtained but this is a funny image in my head)

The Scroll of Resurrection

In the alpha, dragons could also die. It's unclear how they could die (I would assume age because that's pretty common for pet sites where pets can die), but if you wanted to resurrect them, you had to use this scroll.

Double Scratch

"A low damage attack that performs two rapid hits that generate breath. The second hit isn't as powerful as the first, but it still stings!"

Prior to release, there was a version of scratch that was well, double scratch. It was actually in the game on release until September 2014, but it was never obtainable. The item's ID was #764. A file was also left in the game files believed to be the animation for double scratch.

Harmony

"The caster will focus on the surrounding magical energies, generating a large amount of breath for itself and a small amount of breath for its companions."

Like it's other unreleased companion, it was also still in the game files on release until September 2014, but was never obtainable. It's item ID was #765. A file was also left in the game files believed to be the animation for harmony.

Notably, both stones can be seen in a screenshot on the Coliseum Battle Encyclopedia page

There was a post by Undel that talked a little bit more about them, but Undel accidentally nuked her Tumblr so that's currently lost to time.

All images (aside from the last one) + info is from the flight rising wiki!

survey time cuz this blogs been getting a lot of commission related asks and I'm struggling to get any commissions.

1) Folks who buy art of your dragons, do you just peruse art shops or find your artists some other way? How?

2) Are there any things that turn you away from an art shop immediately?

3) Do you want art examples to be the first thing you see when you open an art shop thread? Do you leave if the examples aren't right in your face?

4) Do you purchase using FRC or RLC, or both?

5) For artists who get a lot of commissions, what do you do? How do people find you?

I either go through the art sales forum, or see art on tumblr. some people link to their art shop through tumblr, but every now and then i might leave a tag to the tune of 'hey your art rules are your comms open?' etc.

I don't continue checking an art shop out if there aren't any visible art examples, OR if your order form is buried somewhere between a novel's worth of posts.

Art examples don't necessarily need to be the first thing I see, but they need to be there somewhere. Also, ideally, if you're offering multiple different styles/types of comm (flat colour vs fully shaded or realistic vs chibi, etc), I want to see at least one example of each type.

Right now I only buy with FRC, but I've spent RLC in the past (when it was an option for me). It's nice to have the option for either/or, if that's feasible for you, but I think it's perfectly reasonable to do RLC only.

I don't technically do FR comms right now, but I had a decent amount of success when I did. My best advice is 1. have a well put together art shop, and 2. cross-post your art. If you do FR art, even if it's personal/not a commission, post it on tumblr and link your art shop! That way, anyone who likes your art immediately knows where they can get their own.

I actually very recently bought art from This Shop (and LOVED my pic btw, thank you again scribblefoxx :D), which I feel like is a great example of how an art shop should look: it's concise, super visible prices + categories + order form + slots, and it has lots of examples.

One other tidbit of advice is that it helps to have an indicator in your art shop TITLE whether you are open or closed, and whether you take FRC, RLC, or both.

It goes without saying that these are my personal opinions on things and that there isn't One Right Way to do things, and ofc your mileage may vary. I'm just glad to offer my opinion bc I buy a lot of dragon art!
