All of the elemental lair scenes for Flight Rising, together! This was a hell of a project, and you can really see where I learned as I went. There's a lot I'd go back and change if I could still but overall I'm super happy with these and so glad to get the opportunity
Yknow given how closely the new fam resembles the Lightweaver art I wouldn’t be surprised if the other deity constellations do the same
The Roundsey dragons this week are a Rainbow Pride dragon and an Intersex Pride dragon!
The ones this week are Trans, Agender (or Aromantic), and Nonbinary dragons!
I forgot that Vigil got magpie, which lends them to making okay painted bat dragons. [sunshine strike/cantaloupe coil/obsidian magpie] and [sunshine crosshatch/saffron coil/sanguine magpie]
I Can't Believe It's Not Blue!

Points, Ghost and Magpie: The genes that took years to come
In a video uploaded September 13th, 2012, a ton of genes were teased. All of these genes ended up being available on site launch, with two notable exceptions: the tertiary genes Ghost and Points
Ghost (and Magpie)
Ghost was teased as a gene that created a skull marking on the head of a dragon, a gradient down the neck of a dragon and a few splotches of color on a dragon's wings with a slight gradient
Image from the Flight Rising Wiki of the version of Ghost presented in the September 2012 preview video
Ghost would not release until February 12th, 2018. The release gene creates skeletal markings all over the body of a dragon and lacks gradients.
Then on May 13th, 2026, the tertiary gene Magpie released. The gene is likely a redesign of the wing gradients of 2012's version of ghost. They're very similar, but not 1 to 1.
The fact this post released on the same day magpie dropped is coincidence. This was scheduled almost a week in advance and of course magpie dropped about 10 minutes before this post was scheduled to go up.
Points
Points was teased as a gene that added fades to the points of a dragon - those being the muzzle, ears, top of wings, tail and the bottom of the legs. Similar points of coloration are found in real animals, notably in siamese cats

Points finally released on October 10th, 2022, over ten years since it was teased. In the final version, the color coverage on all areas was extended.
So, what took so long?
Quite honestly, we don't know. It is worth noting that in the beginning, genes had be recolored by hand. Now, (most) genes are colored using a recolor engine and a base template with sections marking where each color should go.

Since the colors had to be done by hand and gradients can be finicky, even in a good art program, the decision may have been made that it wasn't worth the effort at the time, since the original plan was to have them obtainable using features outside of the marketplaces, which weren't implemented at the time (notably Ghost was supposed to obtainable from Baldwin's Bubbling Brew). In the end, both ending up being purchasable in the treasure marketplace
Undel on when Ghost and Points would be released
Today, the wait for ghost and points is still joked about by those who remember and all players now have access to these genes.

Hatchlings with apparel
At some point, there was a glitch that allowed hatchlings to equip apparel and skins. The apparel would show up as it would on their adult counterparts. The glitch is long patched, but it still looks funny on the dragons it remains on
Steel's Qatar
I don't know much about when this glitch occurred or how it happened. If you have more information on it, I would love to hear it!
some of my gen 1 projects!!
i think it would be very interesting lore-wise for skydancer beaks to have regional variance. water skydancers having pelican pouches in order to catch and hold fish, even if they won't be the ones eating it (although you could argue that they could also use those to hold a lot of underwater plant life too). nature skydancers having parrot beaks to better assist them in eating the flora found in that region. earth skydancers looking similar to shoebills. mostly on account of me thinking of the earth gryphon familiar here but also because having a beak like that might be useful for digging somehow. plague skydancers having vulture beaks. lightning skydancers having other various bird of prey beaks, like hawks or something. shadow skydancers having crane/stork/ibis/etc beaks because the area is mostly swampy. i'm sure there could be interesting examples for the other elemental regions i didn't cover but i can't think of any at the moment
