So lemme preface this by saying that I wandered in here not actually expecting to post, but then I saw the TF badge in your sig, and I got super excited and couldn't help myself LOL
I can't
not bring up your Optimus omg, that accent is so good on him! I love how simply he's dressed, it really makes him pop - also the gloves/socks are a super nice touch to get the right colors, I don't think I've seen another Optimus with them for some reason??
God, I lol'd at Steve - I'd totally forgotten about that bit of fanon, I'm guessing it eventually became canon in some form...?
An excellent match to the vehicons too :D
I love all your TF dergs honestly, I just don't have anything specific to say about the others? |D But they all match really well, props for that!
Fandragons aside I love the sheer variety in your lair - like sure you have a lot of Imps, but they're all so different from each other! And all impeccably dressed too, after my first browsing for fandragons I had a hard time picking out the ones that were my faves :D
I really like Sawyl cause she's got 2 things you rarely see - Warmwater Wanderers and that accent. The fish are so hard to use well cause they're so busy, and yet on her it looks just perfect? idk man but it's great.
Moirenach too - no skin here but only 4 pieces of apparel, and he manages to look a lot more dressed than that somehow?? Excellent color matching too - seems like an obvious thing I guess since he's purple and most of his clothing is purple, but that belt should stand out and yet doesn't? The Opal is an excellent contrast wwithout standing out too much too.
Also, his name is amazing, I'm a sucker for Celtic/-sounding names. That hard K ending, man.
Liliom, oh my god. Another gorgeous and perfectly fitting accent choice! Combined with perfect apparel for maximum awesome too ofc.
I love the lore idea snippet/idea you have down at the bottom for her? I'm gonna throw in an idea cos I can - what if you incorporate the coloration of her accent in it somehow? Like, either the opaline bits were her original colors, or there's some kinda magical leakage going on? Like the opposite of what's happened to her cause of her interaction with the spirit realm - her own innate magic working overdrive to keep her going, or something?
Ace is clearly pretty popular but for good reason! His genes and colors go so well together, and that accent! I see it a lot, but not often used
well, and Ace is a very awesome exception to that.
Also, his backstory <3 I'm a sucker for feral child type stories, and his tells enough to get an idea of what he's like while also leaving lots up to the imagination. Does he become a nomadic wanderer, a strange dragon-shape in the sky who doesn't respond to hails? Is he curious about other dragons, eventually comes to live near or amongst them? Or maybe he's even hostile to other dragons, seeing himself as a Roc instead...?
nothin much to say about Maella other than Even More Excellent Color Matching! I love all the alts in her bio equally, I can see why you saved all 3 lol
Repeating myself again but god Gamble's colors, clothes, and accent! Another RB accent I always thought was kinda unusable, clearly I was totally wrong here lol. I like that the goggles mirror the circles on her wings, it's a nice bit of detail. Also the layering of overcoat and shirt is cool, i don't think I've seen anyone do that before? At least not on a Ridgeback, anyway. Def one of my faves in your lair.
...I could probably pick like, 10 more dragons to rave about but I better stop here LOL
Basically your lair is excellent, very glad I took a look :D
Edit: Cherubim!! Forgot to put him in here - he's super pretty of course, but it's his lore that I really love. Consorts who are well-regarded is something I'm really fond of, and it's not often done I think, so thanks :D
person after me, lair ends @ Curator on page 6
