So many of your dragons caught my attention, you have such a pretty lair hbjsfhaidhi I know I'm supposed to only like a few but I couldn't help myself hhhh I hope this isn't an inconvenience I just like rambling about pretty dragons I've never complimented this many dragons in one go before, and I don't have much experience with it in the first place - my apologies if what I say is repetitive or doesn't make much sense! (Side note, I love your dragon's names! I didn't want to write "I love their name" in literally every description so I'm just writing it here. It's neat how so many of them have special meanings!) [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/32164066][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/321641/32164066_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol]I'm partial to purple and yellow so I'm likely biased, but... [i]pretty[/i]. I love how well their skin fits them, for a few seconds I thought that their bee gene was the skin and the skin was part of the dragon and I had to figure out which was which- I adore the space theme, she feels like some sort of minor diety or mystical character in a hatchling's storybook, always somewhat mysterious and unknown. [size=2]Also light primal yes very cool[/size][/columns] [columns]So majestic, I love her! I love how she has a relatively diverse color palette, but it isn't overwhelming or cluttered (I don't have enough knowledge in color theory to explain my thoughts here :/ but I like her). I feel like the underbelly gene and visible part of the butterfly gene brings it all together, and keeps her from being overwhelming (I find that entirely dark dragons are a bit difficult for me to process at first glance). I love the jewelry. I usually don't like dragons that have a tiny bit of starsilk apparel when the dragons aren't space-themed, as I feel like it doens't fit or make sense, but it works so well on her I didn't notice it as first! Congrats on evading a minor pet peeve of mine, I guess? She's a bit imposing and intimidating, but so regal![nextcol][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/33367218][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/333673/33367218_350.png[/img][/url][/columns] [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/63477631][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/634777/63477631_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol]Ooh, very pretty! I don't often see dragons with plant themes that aren't fully fledged nature dragons, so she was nice to see! The bright yellows and desaturated greens with the lightened brown works so well, I adore her. She almost feels like a desert-dwelling dragon, one who could blend in with the sands on the shore of oasises (oasises? I don't know what the spelling of plural oasis is-). The horns paired with the unusal eyes and baubles on the skin makes her seem like some kind of deity or healer. I love how the daisy flowers work with both her light theme and other plant apparel.[/columns] [columns]Woah. She's a bit much at first glance with the wide variety of purples as well as the hint of blues and light yellows, but she's really pretty! I like how some of the apparel compliments her eye color (light yellow) and tertiary gene (blue), so they don't feel entirely out of place. Runes is fitting! [nextcol][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/35821365][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/358214/35821365_350.png[/img][/url][/columns] [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/30469541][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/304696/30469541_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol]She feels like a pheonix, very pretty. I probably should have put her in the section at the bottom of this post because I don't really know what else to say here but I felt like she deserved an extra compliment. [/columns] [columns]I love her theme! She feels like a beach that is simultaneously being viewed at a calming dusk, a cheerful noon, and a hopeful dawn, somehow. I love her skin, it looks like she's dipping her claws into an ocean or lake! I also like how you matched her eyes and some apparel with her skin. The starsilks, bloodstone cascades, and tail wrap combined really give her a sort of mystic or slightly otherworldly feel.[nextcol][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/36860414][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/368605/36860414_350.png[/img][/url][/columns] [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/63542136][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/635422/63542136_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol]Aww. They look like a big fluffy dog or cat, but with the glowing eyes (which match their colors, I'd like to add!) they still feel like a dragon, retaining a sort of imposing feel. If they were okay with it I'd like to give them a hug, I feel like they'd give good hugs.[/columns] [columns]Very cohesive and breathtaking! She feels like seaglass, and reminds me of the spiral keep for some reason (I think it's because of the unicorn horn?). I feel like a lot of female-pose imperials are graceful, but she really feels like she could be seen spinning and twirling on undersea currents, her scales catching and reflecting the sunlight that reaches down into the depths of the water. The sylvan apparel really fits her.[nextcol][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/34576562][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/345766/34576562_350.png[/img][/url][/columns] [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/53121246][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/531213/53121246_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol]I'm not usually one for rainbow dragons, but something about him stands out to me - I can't quite put my finger on it, but he's very pretty! I doubt it was at all what you were going for, but I like how the light blue sections on his skin kind of makes part of him look frosted over (the bottom section of his wings, mainly)! I like how he has a purple flower on his wrist, helps make his skin feel like it fits him more.[/columns] [columns]A very handsome boy! I adore blue and orange dragons, and his white primary really brings everything together! Despite his large amount of apparel, he doesn't feel cluttered at all - everything he's wearing feels like it has a purpose, and it isn't overwhelming. Speaking of his apparel, I adore it! he feels like he'd be a seafaring trader or librarian (how am I getting both of those impressions at once? I don't know, but it works! I'm probably getting part of the former because the current caller raiment looks like it has fishing nets on it, and because of the fathomsearch fishing jug... it's neat!). The tutor apparel helps blend it all together with the turquoise. Fantastic dragon overall, absolutely gorgeous.[nextcol][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/64809883][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/648099/64809883_350.png[/img][/url][/columns] [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/51612084][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/516121/51612084_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol](Copypaste my compliments on [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/34576562]Andromeda[/url] but replace everything water-related to space-related, and add more "oooh I like the pretty stars, ooh [i]purple[/i], ooh I like how she isn't entirely purple though it makes her more interesting, ooh I like the skin, ooh I like the-" (also yes I agree with her broadcast, she is fabulous))[/columns] [columns]I love the pastel look!

@LapisWings Holy crow you've killed me with happiness. You should seriously consider doing some lair review services or something. Made my whole week at least! Also you didn't hit anyone in the inactive tabs and highlight as many as you want for real!

Just wanted to say now, since you're currently last in queue, that this post was exceptionally wonderful and full of awesome compliments (and no, I don't feel like you repeated yourself too much and frequently laughed at some of the things you said in an all-around delighted way. You are a delight).

Also, I will probably spend an entire day crafting your return compliments when I get there, you've earned the extra mile for sure!

@KitKatJo Thanks so much for the likes and compliments to my dragons! <3 Autumn and Quenyan names - also Lazuria’s gear with her colours is not something I would’ve set out to create either. She was actually just a project dragon for her daughter, [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/37062790]Lindelea[/url]. Then I went and threw a few pieces on her that I liked but had no other dragon for at the time. Then I was like hm...that’s actually kinda pretty. And more pieces got added/upgraded from there in the same colour scheme lol. On to your dragons though! I found 30 dragons in your lair to hand out stars to! [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=66052267][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/660523/66052267.png[/img][/url][/center] Elenath is my favourite in your lair. Full stop. This dragon is absolutely [i]gorgeous![/i] Purple is one of my favourite colours and she’s just so magical and mysterious down to every last detail. I think it might be the glowing blue eyes that really tips this dragon over into excellence in cherry-on-top fashion. Also, bonus points for Sindarin naming ;p [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=10729253][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/107293/10729253.png[/img][/url][/center] Arrluck is gorgeous too! That pseudo-orca colouring looks fantastic with that accent and arcane eyes. Like an icy aurora borealis and the default home scene for your flight, while washed out, works really well with him! The orca bogsneak thing confuses me though, sounds like a neat subspecies - was this guy imperial scrolled? Or is he a non-bogsneak variant I couldn’t find linked? Either way that orca and beluga drawing you did is super SUPER adorable, I love them too! [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/25787864][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/257879/25787864_350.png[/img][/url][/center] Khoeli is almost a hidden gem. That is to say her thumbnail does not at all do her justice. Sooooo I made her big-sized just because she needs to be viewed in all her glory. What I thought was possibly an orca cherub primary with lovely pink-purple iri wings from the lair page view turned out to be a gorgeous cherry tree up close (though amused I was right about the genes/color). This accent just works [i]incredibly well[/i] with these genes and colours. Matching arcane eyes is a bonus! She’s so pretty I forgot I tend to pick spotlight dragons with at least some apparel (unless they’re ancients). Runner-ups to this spot before I saw her up close in the lair crawl were: Kuekuatsu (who also looks way more impressive and beautiful up close than in thumb nail) and Koa. Special runner up mention to Thomas for that nifty scry in his bio!
@KitKatJo Thanks so much for the likes and compliments to my dragons! <3 Autumn and Quenyan names - also Lazuria’s gear with her colours is not something I would’ve set out to create either. She was actually just a project dragon for her daughter, Lindelea. Then I went and threw a few pieces on her that I liked but had no other dragon for at the time. Then I was like hm...that’s actually kinda pretty. And more pieces got added/upgraded from there in the same colour scheme lol.

On to your dragons though!

I found 30 dragons in your lair to hand out stars to!

Elenath is my favourite in your lair. Full stop. This dragon is absolutely gorgeous! Purple is one of my favourite colours and she’s just so magical and mysterious down to every last detail. I think it might be the glowing blue eyes that really tips this dragon over into excellence in cherry-on-top fashion. Also, bonus points for Sindarin naming ;p

Arrluck is gorgeous too! That pseudo-orca colouring looks fantastic with that accent and arcane eyes. Like an icy aurora borealis and the default home scene for your flight, while washed out, works really well with him! The orca bogsneak thing confuses me though, sounds like a neat subspecies - was this guy imperial scrolled? Or is he a non-bogsneak variant I couldn’t find linked? Either way that orca and beluga drawing you did is super SUPER adorable, I love them too!

Khoeli is almost a hidden gem. That is to say her thumbnail does not at all do her justice. Sooooo I made her big-sized just because she needs to be viewed in all her glory.

What I thought was possibly an orca cherub primary with lovely pink-purple iri wings from the lair page view turned out to be a gorgeous cherry tree up close (though amused I was right about the genes/color). This accent just works incredibly well with these genes and colours. Matching arcane eyes is a bonus!

She’s so pretty I forgot I tend to pick spotlight dragons with at least some apparel (unless they’re ancients). Runner-ups to this spot before I saw her up close in the lair crawl were: Kuekuatsu (who also looks way more impressive and beautiful up close than in thumb nail) and Koa.

@TheFloofyPupper Thanks for the compliment (and like), it cracked me up! You got the answer to the universe and everything! (42 stars spread out over your collection!) Some pretty nifty dragons in here. The winner of my spotlight from your lair, however, was an easy choice because I almost gasped.

Depth’s got a [i]lot[/i] going on but the “noise” of it works so well for his look. To my brain, the way this gear is layered, almost transforms him into an art piece with artistic brushes of black, white, and blue paint. However, there’s just enough coherency remaining in the dragon and apparel choices that I know what I’m looking at. It just works so very well together. I love him! I'd weigh in on the pearl horns if you show me what he looks like without them, I'm bad at imagining stuff like that. I can say that I do like them as part of the whole.

@FishyWishyz Thanks for the wonderful compliments and likes! Looking at pretty dragons is definitely it’s own reward, I agree and I’m glad you think so about my lair! Chalcedony was definitely the product of wanting to finally get a snapper because I needed some cute/pretty chonks in my lair and I don’t mind at all if you go finding yourself a similar dragon :D As for where I get my dragons, I’m thinking this is a rhetorical question but just in case, I’d have to say a lot of it is just diligently posting things I get on the auction house, no matter how little they sell for compared to lair, RNG luck in the coli, stuff like that which allows me to afford the genes I want or some of the more costly dragons, along with pretty accents whenever I see them. The rest is elbow grease breeding them up myself. Since I love subspecies quite a bit and am a fan of creating pairs that contain the full color range of their subspecies, this leads to a few dragons who started out not as pretty as they could be. Almarea was one of these, believe it or not. For the longest time I was thinking maybe I’d have to get her a full-body skin but then I found her accent and was able to build an outfit I really like around it. I’m so glad to see her get appreciated! As for Opherian, he’s one of my newest, so glad to see him get a shout out already too - pleased to put together a dragon well enough he qualifies as an exception too :D Anywho~ onto your dragons! I handed out a whopping 150-something stars to your collection, I think it was 153, but by the time I went to write this I forgot exactly where in the 50s lol. I have so many tabs open for choosing the final 5, so many! 18 tabs! Forgive me but I’m too tired to list that many lol. Gonna take a moment to narrow them down to the final 5!

Thank you, I'm glad! :D
I don't really know how lair reviews function unfortunately, I'm not sure how I'd go about it - but I appreciate the suggestion, I never really thought about it!
(And no rush, take as much time as you'd like! I don't mind.)

Edit: typos.
Forgot you were subscribed, my apologies for the double ping!

@/Saronai

Thanks so much for your kind words!

I do want to apologize for my lair, though. I returned from a 2.5 year hiatus and did a bit of downsizing recently. And in the wake of my return, everything has been a bit of a mess recently. I have a lot of plans to get back on track, but it will take me a bit before I can get there. The new genes/breeds (and Dustcarve) have also sidetracked me a little bit. I still need to grab a few more reps to be complete with my every-element-represented project.

As for the lack of apparel on my part... I am just so bad at dressing dragons. I love the genes so much that I want them to shine through. This is no knock on anybody that does it, but there are some dragons out there so dressed up that you can't even see their genes and I wonder if it's even worth it gening a dragon if dressing them up that way is the end goal. I try to find a good balance and rely heavily on sets.

Elenath is a good example of the kind of dressing I want. She was a must-have. Midnight is top tier for me (hence me liking all of your Midnight colored dragons). And she was a XYX G1?? I didn't even care that I was saving for my obes at that point. She just had to be mine. Her element was also perfect for the plans I had for her and since light is a huge part of it, the glowing just made sense, y'know? (Telperion and Laurelin are her counterparts; all of their bios explain where their inspriation came from!) She's actually my favorite in my lair too. (Second is Axel, my progen, but for nostalgic and art reasons of course!)

Arrluck is sort of a reject of the subspecies. When bogs dropped, I gened up the IriShimGlim Midnight/Ice/Ice and shared it with Ice Discord and the joke turned them into Orcas (and then of course the Beluga variant came as well). They are all supposed to be bogs, but the way breeding works, I rarely get imps from the pair anyways. He was meant to be bogged so they're 100%, but I never got around to it. When I got that accent, I just slapped it on him and enjoyed it so much, so he'll probably be an Imp forever at this point. And I'm okay with that because he's perfect to me as is.

I'm so happy to see Khoeli (and Kuekuatsu) get some love! I really liked the Orca/x/White combination with the softness of x Shimmer wings and so they were a random pair that created soft colors. They weren't really meant to have a story or lore or anything (just pretty babies!), but when I was reading some legends, I fell in love with the Kuekuatsu story, so I rewrote it to fit into their bios better and just rolled with it. Khoeli's accent was a very nice surprise. I figured the pinks would work decently with her Mist wings and when I put it on, I fell in love. It just works well with her, I think. These two are another example of me not being able to dress dragons. I rely a lot on accents/skins when I don't know how to dress them.

Thanks for all the kind words about and likes for my dragons. <3

Sorry for the long reply.

Always accepting art for Axel.
@LapisWings I actually feel the same way about lair reviews myself, I wouldn't know where to start. Though also review indicates you're probably expected to give helpful, critical feedback too. I'd rather just compliment all the things I like lol.

No worries about double pings. I considered adding "double pings are fine though" to the original post, maybe I still will, but I was worried about overwhelming people with too much words, not enough picture lol.

TLDR As someone with shoddy memory who doesn't like to sweat the small things anyway, I am 100% fine with getting double pinged because someone else forgot I was subbed. Lots of threads in this place where that preference is evenly split (ping vs don't ping).
