A little stand made of wood its cutting your path with lots of drawings and art supplies that reminds you to the events usually made for hatchings who like to color. However as you approach, you notice the drawings have numbers and there are objects that are clearly not to draw: fabric, measuring tapes, scissors. What is this all about? As a little crowd approach, a fire sprite finally shows up, sparkling brightly with oranges and red.[/color] [columns] [item=Fire Sprite][nextcol][color=B40404]Welcome curious dragons! As many of you already know, The Flameforger Festival its approaching and all the dragons from the Ashfall Waste have been working hard this last months to crate a celebration you wont forge-t!- she laughs at her own joke – however, being as passionate and hard workers as the fire dragons can be, we may be… have forgotten to call the designer for this year apparel so … [/color][/columns] [color=#DF7401] Suddenly, a pearlcatcher step in. His armor shining bright on the light, surely a fine piece directly from the Furnace itself![/color] [columns][color=B40404]Don’t tell them that! I assure you all, the flameforger has everything under control and Mather has NOT forgotten to call the designer – he continues calmly, regardless to the annoyed look from the familiar - but we thought it would be fun to have you guess what the flamecaller had planned for us this year. Who knows? Maybe we have between us the designer of the gods!- he chuckles, as believing that’s impossible- If you want to participate, just grab a piece of paper, your favorite art supply and… start![/color][nextcol][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=20938471][img]http://i.imgur.com/aIZlZEs.png[/img][/url][/columns] [center][img]http://65.media.tumblr.com/f48d4427337475c93793b461c3397afc/tumblr_inline_o23f1raLV11r3lvtf_540.png[/img][/center] [color=#B40404] Hello everyone!

and just one more

@Hinumi

This is an amazing idea for a contest! :D One quick question: do we need to use specific Coatl colours or can we scry whatever colours we like to draw onto?

I decided to just do both a grey Coatl and a coloured one because why not! :D [img]http://i.imgur.com/VSvWKPK.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/5uO4NZc.png[/img] It's a singed blacksmith's apron! :D It sorta ties in with the Metallurgist's Forgetools... I guess? :D Excited to see what other people think the apparel will be.

@Himochi sorry for the late reply, of course you can scry whatever colors work for you and that coalt that you used looks amazing! great color/genes combo

Your apron looks really good and its a original choice! I never actually thought of it but surely goes well wth the forgetools and the fire lore! ^^ I also love the black detail on the face!

@Hinumi

Thanks! :D I was struggling for inspiration at first since I wasn't too familiar with all the Fire apparel. (This Flameforger's will be my first!)
So I went and looked at all of the fire apparel and the Forgetools just stood out to me!

So.. you'll have to bear with my digital art skills but it's meant to be a bellow to assist in providing more airflow for the forge/metalwork:

(Three different coatl examples with the same bellow apparel)
