The Shifting Emporium is a maze of strange stalls and stranger inhabitants, never quite the same from one moment to the next, deep in the moving, living dunes of the Shifting Expanse. But the stalls and the sands aren't the only things that are changing.
Dragons come to the Emporium to browse the wares, to explore, for the excitement of a strange -- and maybe a little dangerous -- place. And some are hoping that a certain rumor is true, a rumor that the dragon who enters may not look like the dragon who leaves...
(...Somewhere in the sands, hidden among the stalls, a lost, forgotten egg is hatching. What will the hatchling be, when they finally emerge?)
- Choose one of the participating dragons here.
- Go to the Scrying Workshop and give them a makeover! Find a combination of breed and genes that really makes that dragon's colours work.
- (Or, for the egg, find a look that works for any colours.)
- Be creative! Sure, crystal/facet/glimmer always looks good, but finding a stripes/spots combo that really suits that dragon? Much more impressive.
- Post your redesign in the thread.
- If there's a particular name or bit of lore you'd give them, or a particular outfit you'd put them in, that you think adds to the look you're going for, stick that in your post too!
- Just before the Carnivale ends, I'll announce the winners and shapeshift those dragons!
The person who submits the design I like best for each dragon will win that dragon, with the suggested changes made. Make sure your entry is something you like. If you win, they're joining your clan!
Sunday - Friday will have two daily spot prizes for my favourite designs that day (12 total). Spot prizes will be a Prismatic Token and maybe a few other things.
(Spot prizes will
- Get your entries in by 23:59 on the 28th of July, FR time -- in other words, six hours before TCC ends.
- Your entry post should include the dragon's ID number (or "egg") and the breed/genes you're suggesting be applied. You don't have to include a picture, but it helps! See here for an example and instructions for including scry images in posts.
- You can enter for as many dragons as you want, but only once for each dragon. No one person will win more than two.
- One entry per post. If you want to change your submission, edit it out of the old post and make a new post. Please don't edit your post for any other reason! If two people submit the same thing, the earlier submission will take priority, so it's important I can see accurately when it was submitted.
- No imperials. That's the one transformation I can't arrange.
- Double-check that your text is accurate before you post.
