I absolutely HAD to keep the bun, I have never seen an animal companion apparel piece I didn't instantly love, along with the candles and darksteel bangles. Not much going on here other than the Frostbreath Skink, but I snuck in some more silk layering (night sky tail bangle over gossamer) and of course some more jewelry and the obsidian roundhorns were just too perfect. Hope it gives you some good ideas!
Her profile is just TOO CUTE FOR WORDS. I ended up only keeping a few bits of her current apparel - I just love the halo, and the pink silks are great, except I layered golden silks underneath it to bring out the orange/peach tones. And I would never take a dragon’s cat away. Plus of course a book for a reader!
@slaughtercress welcome, thank you, and look out belooooow
Truncate
This dragon is so well flushed out in your lore. I love that they are the life of the party but also carrying around some pretty heavy, shade touched baggage. I’, digging how you kept the palette mainly grey with flashes of red. With the teal wings, it definitely makes for an interesting color combo, but it somehow works and just makes the dragon look super unique.
Ranarr
ugh I just wanna hug this gal. But first - her looks. I’m just a huge sucker for matching eyes and these go so well with her secondary. I like how you tied in the orange with the flowers and flowerfall items, and portrayed her insomnia with the accent you gave her. As for what you’ve written about her, she seems like another amazingly well fleshed out dragon. I love how you included details about her relationship with Magebane, and it makes me happy that she has someone looking out for her.
Dolly
Dolly’s accent really drove me to click on her. The golden embers really play off the metallic sheen of the haunted flame items. Blues of the apparel and her eyes go well with her secondary color. Overall, her contrast makes for a pleasant viewing. She’s a precious bean who needs to be protected at all costs but has also had the growth to do some of the protecting and we STAN. She’s such an inspiring dragon.
Aurax
Aurax has got to have THE coolest lore I’ve read in a hot minute. Like...a mute dragon from SPACE? It doesn’t get any cooler than that folks. But not only is her lore cool but her aesthetic is freakin’ amazing too. The accent you’ve put on her really does wonders for keeping the circuit gene more subtle. Her slate wings tie in nicely with the garb and treads. I’m so head over heals for her design that if I don’t stop typing now I’ll never stop complimenting this dragon.
Yuki
I’m not sure if the dragons in this tab were off limits or not but I really would like to commend you on Yuki’s design. The accent blends in so so well with the lanterns, flatfins, and rose thorn apparel. I do like how you kept it simple and subtle by giving Yuki a darker main apparel piece like the bramble mantle. I thoroughly enjoy this funky neon dragon, so I hope you don’t mind in me picking this one for the top 5
You have a great knack for giving dragons great personality, growth, and back story. I feel like I’ve learned a lot in doing this lair review, so I thank you for choosing me to dive into your lair.
I love the fish apparel on Raster! Her wings remind me of the ocean with that combo of accent and apparel <3 She almost makes me miss the beach, in a way! The fact that she collects technology junk reminds me of myself, haha. As a matter of fact, a couple other things about her remind me of myself too: her klutziness and excited collection-rambling. Who knew we’d have so much in common?
Ohhh my goodness, look at that apparel and accent on Dolly! I’m a big sucker for dragons with candles and halos; that usually goes without saying. Not to mention, I always love seeing what people do with the pearl-less PC idea; I feel so bad that she was cast out so quickly; her personality really is lovely!
More love for bright green? More love for bright green. I don’t usually like leaf, but ranarr’s colors actually blend pretty well together! I suppose it’s also toned down a bit by her spooky eye accent (which I also love). I love seeing dragons in scarves, and the fact that she loves writing and stories and tea makes her just that much better. Let the poor fae sleep ;;
First I’d like to express my excitement at a name like “BBABaaaa.” Secondly, I don’t usually like bogs, so this is saying something! I was naturally drawn to the reds and blues working together, while the mint of the wings still makes her pop! I think this is a really nice use of the Solar Flame apparel with things you wouldn’t really think to normally pair it with.
Thank you for requesting a review! @slaughtercress
Flamecaller request for @slaughtercress! I’m just figuring out dragon heads rn so I didn’t draw his body. I will one day get the nerve to draw full dragon bodies.
slaughtercress Thank you very much for the commission!

magebane
Okay, so, this is my favourite dragon in your lair. He has all of my favourite genes and an aesthetically pleasing accent to boot and a level 25 GenOne with great lore and dozens of art? Wow. For him, I’d suggest a Twilight Cape and Glowing Blue Clawtips, please spoil this pretty boy all you can.
Fireproof
Okay, I’ve got nothing. He’s perfect. Genes, apparel, accent - absolutely perfect. He has this look all of his own that looks like a paragon of Light and a roving wanderer all in one. His colours are so unique but the way that they’re blended together by the genes and accent pull them off so well.
fellstalk
fellstalk looks like he was grown in the Arcanist’s and Shadowbinder’s garden. The only thing about him I would change is his Secondary gene - while the Seafoam is perfect, the Current would be a lot better with Butterfly, or perhaps Hex if you want a cheaper option.
Lucina
Lucina looks like the gambler’s queen and a skilled magician. She has tastes for only the finest of robes and silks and will gamble away others’ lives to get them. What? She is number one after all. Which means she has to look out for the most important dragon around.
Everest
Everest is an Arcane-infused creature who spent too much of his life in the most potent of magical recesses of the Starfall Isles turning him into a shining crystal skeleton with a body composed of magical energies that feel like ectoplasm. He gives off his own radiation, making himself dangerous to those that come near.
