Aequorin wrote on 2018-06-11 16:27:54:With the release of Eye Types, we took the opportunity to standardize the Common Eye hue to be consistent across breeds.
- Fancy eyes that go outside of the usual lineart (Multi-Gaze, Primal, Glowing, Innocent) layer OVER genes and skins, but UNDER apparel. Identical functionality to standard eyes. The skin does not cover the eyes but the apparel does.
- Because eye types always layer on top of genes, this can result in awkward tertiary gene combinations, especially with ancient breeds. Look at this painful Shardflank example:
- Remember that the subtler eye colors don't show up very well on many adult dragons:
(Three different Water element eye colors on an adult imperial female. You may need to squint a little.) - The eye size for Innocent is significantly larger on all dragons, male and female, hatchling and adult:
- The eye size for Bright and Pastel is slightly larger on some dragon species. From left to right: Common, Bright, Pastel:
