IV

Now, let me just wipe everything I said about balancing genes and apparel and point out this ghostly little duder. I am typically against piling on apparel and pretty iffy about using straight sets of apparel, but I love IV. I love his colors and his apparel, I love how the accent brings it together. I love his dark scleras (which are the best eye variant, honestly). He's just so spooky and cool looking and I need about 20 of him.

IV is such an interesting looking dragon, particularly with how his apparel and genes work together. The python and stripes are relatively untextured genes, and the dark accents that abyss gives to his wings makes the silver of his accent and smoke stand out so much more, but still match with the rest of his color scheme. The soft textures of python give his body enough interest on its own, but the smoke adds an extra bit of spice that blends well enough to not be an eyesore. His apparel also very smoothly works into his look, but also elevates him with more hues of grey and movement. The unearthly onyx set matches incredibly well with his accent, the silver hue and white gems bringing that pop of brightness like snow in the nighttime, which I think works really well with the icy apparel you also included. The halo and winter wind have such light blue accents that they aren't out of place, but rather pull a little on the abyss coloring and provide some different tones to look at, drawing the eyes attention. Additionally, the winter wind and flowerfall give some motion and additional detail that draw attnetion throughout his entire look. As more of a side note, I love the significant of his name; lore wise, it's marvelous, considering he is a leap year hatch. This is one valuable dragon you have--an XYX gened gen1 leap year coatl with a 2 letter name. Bravo!
