she was a fun one - oh, the wonders of stained

she's the embodiment of a past forgotten, and ensures no one can toy with time itself

Plopped two runs of this in the queue today so everyone pls cross your fingers that the skin mods aren't moths and they don't eat this for snacks

(Coming to a skin shop near you for the usual price of 500g/600kt whenever they emerge from the queue victorious)

#prettyyyy!! #i really like the textures on the wool(? i don't spin i'm sorry if it's the wrong term aaaa) #and the details on the wheel are lovely

Gonna put this dragon search here, too!

Trying to find dragons who fit some skins I've got <3

#flight rising #dragon search

[fr-thecollectors]

basic appreciation post brought on by this one! <3

Rohais (he/him): triple-basic

Rhirid (she/her): basic tert

Innochka (she/her): basic prim/sec

Arahael (they/them): prim

Blitz (he/him): prim/sec

Malek (he/him): tert

Apsular (she/it): prim

Savir (she/her): tert

#flight rising #dragon share #fr tundra #fr fae #fr wildclaw #fr pearlcatcher #fr bogsneak #fr ridgeback #capsule gene #multi gaze #(for arahael's skin) #rohais #rhirid #innochka #arahael #blitz #malek #apsular #savir #about half of my permababies have at least one basic gene too

[fr-thecollectors]

I think ppl should be more accepting of basic as a valid final look for a dragon. Sometimes they dont need markings!! Tert is bad? Just keep it basic. Body markings hidden by outfit? No need to gene it!

Basically what im saying is that sometimes too many genes makes things very cluttered and basic could have fixed a lot of dragons out there

#basic good <3 #i should make a post with some of my fav basic-sporting dragons.....

I'm going to extend my search here, in case anyone's come across dragons with this date! I've been struggling to find any from 2017 or earlier

been looking on and off for a few years at this point, made a thread a year ago (almost to the day) where I was able to find two of my missing years, but the search continues!

tl;dr is I'm looking for dragons (pref G1s, but willing to look at any) hatched on July 30th, from 2017 or earlier

I'm willing to pay a fair bit for them

#flight rising #idk how to tag this uhhh #dragon search #birthday hatch

[fr-thecollectors]

hiii have some more dragons available! first two are scried g1s, last 4 images are a breeding pair that I never got particularly attached to!

Find them here; g1s shown are 25g, the pair are both 75g but if you'd like to buy them as a set i'll give you them for 100g!

#dragon sales #fr nocturne #fr guardian #fr skydancer #swirl gene #leopard gene #marbled gene #oh. oh that pair #it is SO tempting to buy them as a set aaa-

HEY HERE’S MY DISORGANIZED GUIDE FOR SKIN MAKING

You cannot draw a skin outside of the dragon's lineart, so if you wanted to give a gaoler a second pair of wings, you'd have to find out some way to stuff it into the space of the body. People have gotten away with linebreaks before, and if its not obvious it could slip past, but if the skin mods notice: you’re getting denied.

When I do skins I upscale the PSD from 750x750 to 2000x2000, and I use a 3 px brush, as that is the same size as FR's lineart.

There are two folders in the PSD, the bottom one is simply showing all the parts of the dragon, and the top is where you actually draw. I turn off the shadow and line art layers when I draw and don't turn them back on until I'm completely done.

If you want to make an ACCENT, you have to make sure that it is covering less than 31% of the base. You can check the coverage on reSKIN vendrus or Nensec (You cannot link Nensec onsite)

You cannot use colors that are too dark, as they will be denied for the lineart and shadows not being visible. There is a strong possibility that your opinion on what is visible is wildly different from what staff thinks are visible, please get advice from others if you can.

When you're done drawing, I would recommend making a copy of that file, and using the copy to merge all your layers down. When you have them all merged down, clip the lines and shadows onto your drawing. You CAN alter the opacity and color of the lines and shadows, but you MUST make sure its dark enough to be “plainly visible.”

I HIGHLY recommend setting the lineart layer on top of your skin to multiply and coloring it like the shadows.

IF your skin is denied, there is a high chance that the message will be vague. (For example, you will be told that the shadows and lines on your skin are too light, but not specifically where on the skin that its too light)

If an error occurs (Such as submitting the wrong image or messing up the name) you can go to the Skin Problems Thread and request for changes from the skin mods.

The skin queue is HEAVILY dependent on traffic as there are only two skin mods at the moment, but usually you'll get a skin back in a week or so. If a skin takes longer than 7 days to come back, I would go to the Skin problems thread.

Feel free to add more advice if you have anything else you can think of.

making some good project progress so far this year!!!

it feels so good to have more than halved what I've got in my project tracker over last year and this month (and these ones are from this month alone!)

info (+ skins) under the cut!

Decay (it/its) (skin: Hellwell Snaps by Cayleth) : It's a minor god of mutation and survival in my lore

Kyrma (any pronouns) (skin: Gustgather Guise by brightmyth) : depending on what part of the Forest someone is in, they'll hear two different things for them. One, is that they're the spirit of the wind. The other, the god of freedom

Tarpit (it/its) : hoping to find a fitting accent eventually. It's an incredibly ancient spirit of the Forest, dragging unsuspecting victims into the sludge of its namesake so their souls can be claimed by the forest.

Kobold (he/him) : Suspected to be a guardian spirit himself, he can often be found with or near the guardian Arahael; it's believed that his mere presence wards off malevolent spirits.

Crabsquid (any pronouns) : Subnautica fandragon of my favorite creature from the game <3

Savir (she/her) (skin: The Desert Calls by Verdes) : When she died, her soul went unclaimed by the Forest, leaving her to wander her place of death aimlessly. She began to grow angry and violent in her loneliness... At least, until she was discovered by Apsular.

Apsular (she/it) (skin: Bodies Wash Ashore by Tymbs) : A benevolent creature residing in a large swamp, she guides travelers lost in her home back to safety. She discovered the spirit Savir near the edge of its swamp, and helped to tame her anger; the two now work together to help those who are lost.
