I really like the use of Sludge alongside Shadow Primal, it's a really smart combination that I feel like I don't see a lot at all! Specially since Shale Sludge has a tinge of purple. Sparkle is a great choice of Tertiary here and will match perfectly with Coal Flaunt, which is always a pretty gene. I love the outfit, it uses some pieces I don't see that often too. I specially like the horns from Inked Mantle, they fit really well! Once you can get that Halo, it will really complete the whole look!

Dark…but shiny. This is a really successful sort of study of contrasts, they are beautiful. Very excited to see how sparkle will work here, I bet it will be fantastic based on the scries. The easy inked mantle is used here is everything, it’s so beautiful and blends in nicely with both the sky dancer feathers and the additional feathery apparel. Kudos for using the thorn tangles so well, they add a bit of texture without being distracting

Once she gets her sparkle she's gonna be jawdropping! What a fantastic use of contrast and detail! I thought she was wearing an UMA at first, but nope! Just really good apparel usage. I usually prefer detail density in specific areas of a dragon and not all around but it really works for her. Overal a really pretty project, and the plans you have for her are gonna elevate her to the next level!

I have to say, she really caught my eye! I love the dark vs light thing Pandel has going on and the apparel just adds to that! I'm so glad to see that she's a shadow dragon, too, as the Light Aura makes it that much more exciting to look at! I hope you are able to get the Luminous Halo for her (although they are so expensive now). Either way, I can imagine a few different lore options for her and would be excited to see where you choose to go with her! Overall a gorgeous dragon so she had to get a like as well!

lastly, pandel is such a gorgeous dragon?? the blend of off-greys, purples and blues with that light ivory accent color makes for a really unique and cool look! i honestly haven't seen the inked mantle on many dragons before so she makes a great first impression with how she dons it haha, the horns and wings look amazing on her! i also feel like i don't see the shadowstrike or void's grasp that much compared to other shadow festival apparel, and she absolutely rocks both! she already looks very cohesive and complete to me, but i scrolled down a bit to see that you're also planning to get her sparkle and a luminous halo, both of which make for great finishing touches!

what a fun, melty babie! i don't generally lean towards black-grey range dragons for myself, but i love the way coal works for them, especially with the sparkle contrasting so nicely! love that you didn't overly covered them up either, so you can see those little details.

and pandel. i think i really love seeing dragons that aren't really My Thing doing hard work and making me reconsider my life choices. (it's about sludge this time) literally what? pandel is iconic? she is the embodiment of the shadow and light dichotomy, the sparkle paired with the aura, the way coal flaunt puts a touch of gold on her belly, the way the dusk thorn apparel cuts in and out of the gold. the gold being highlighted by the seraph jewellery, the purple in the flowers. i'm just. so blown away by everything about her. you've done that thing that eludes me half the time: you've perfectly balanced the apparel distribution and the play of colours both matching and contrasting and i am just. yeah slow clap for this one. jaw on the floor, etc etc. pandel is everything to me and she's not even a colour palette i care for. 10/10
