"Hey wouldn't it look cool to put all my permas in one image and sort them by color" I said, unaware that it would take me 3 hours to manually copy, paste and accommodate my 500 something permas

Redesigning Everlux since FR wouldn't

Okay, so I wanted to do this yesterday, have slept on it, and well... I haven't change my mind. I really don't like the Everlux design, and it's not because they're fat, or they "don't fit Light" or whatever. First off, kudos to FR for trying something truly “ancient” and breaking the mold. It’s creative, and I hope this trend continues! But I find the Everlux poorly designed, both anatomically and compositionally. P.S. Legs got changed because I liked @hypersaw's take that they should be buggy. Old more mammalian legs here. ------- Above is my proposed redesign of the F Pose Everlux, which I think is more functional and aligns with the Everlux’s description in the encyclopedia. Below is my design TLDR:

The legs are too spindly. If they landed, they’d barely touch the ground or be able to move easily. I think fatter, sturdier feet would solve most of the anatomical i

Some argue Everlux are meant to look weird and unsettling, but that’s not true — the encyclopedia describes them as elegant, beauty- and knowledge-oriented, and able to flutter with ease. However, they look like they can barely walk, and the wing-to-body ratio feels inadequate. The "arms" of the wings also don't seem strong enough to support the animal.

A second pair of wings would convey elegance and graceful flight while keeping the breed’s unique, chubby look.

-------

Secondly, the Everlux design suffers from severe tangent issues, a recurring problem in FR’s art direction, but particularly egregious here. Tangents, where lines touch or overlap awkwardly, make the silhouette look like an unreadable spindly ball.

I appreciate FR’s creative direction and efforts to combat fatphobia — many people unfairly dislike the Everluxes simply for being chubby, and therefore "undeserving" of being a Light ancient or whatever. I think it's a really pervasive and disturbing mindset, since I am 100% of the opinion that they could have been fat while still presenting as an elegant breed. I just wish FR would be more mindful of tangents and composition in their breed artwork.

my compromise on the hands: what if most of them were larger, except they had two little spindly legs/hands up closest to their heads

Okay positive post:

The Everlux are super cool and I'm glad that the art team really stretched their wings and gave us a really interesting design. Sure, they're a little cluttered and the male pose nearly completely negates the secondary genes, but I think overall the design AND all the Everlux genes are home runs. It's probably one of the best releases, in my opinion.

I think it's great that they're really pushing what kind of dragons can exist in their world and really making it clear that shape and concept are not inherently tied to the Element the dragon originates from.

I hope that all the negativity does not cause the art team to pull back on pushing the envelope. We need more of this creativity, not less! Even if you don't like Everlux, I hope you'll understand how important it is, conceptually, for the team to make designs that aren't going to appeal to every single player -- even outside of the fact that you just can't please everyone no matter how hard you try.

The more variety in dragons, the cooler the site as a whole is. I hope that the team gives us even more weird dragons inspired by a wide variety of animals and insects. I hope the Wind Ancient is neat as fuck.

And I hope that Shadow can get a modern common breed. Please.

some guys with some type of theme going on

[kitkatonflightrising]

So I decided to breed my original progens for my 10 year anniversary, and I wound up with these two babies

Fiddled around in the scrying workshop for a while (much longer for the boy for some reason, he was just harder to make look good ig 😭), and these are the results I'd like to try and get 👁👁

Interest Check

Howdy y'all

So like a month or so ago I asked y'all about whether or not I should breed change a dragon for a breeding pair and you all said no, and now I have them on a nest and I'm wondering what you personally would pay for one of their babies. I'm just curious because of all my breeding pairs I've had, this one has the most wide appeal, so I think more people would actually be interested and thus, I care more than normal about finding a good price aha. I probably wouldn't charge less than 40kt/g, for anyone curious where I'm starting out.

So yeah, feel free to share in the replies or a reblog what you'd pay for one this pair's babs. Thanks!
