1 Ticket This is Demyx, my Kingdom Hearts fan dragon! [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=13016637] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/130167/13016637_350.png[/img] [/url] 2 Tickets Shortly after the site passed 13 million dragons, I knew I had to get a couple of Org XIII dragons. I started with Demyx, if only because of timing. I wanted him to be born on the 9th (to match his number), but he also had to be a darker dragon. I was running out of time when I saw this triple obsidian dragon in the AH. Although not the right eye type, I figured that wouldn't be a problem. I initially had a Mysterious Hood over him with a Black Satin Tunic covering his body, but as soon as I saw the Reaper Guise, I knew I had to buy one for him. I also attached the Diver Emblem, since his eyes would be covered up by the guise anyway. All that's left for me to buy him is a Finely Crafted Lute! 3 Tickets [IMG]http://i62.tinypic.com/n6ax6d.jpg[/IMG] @VioletWhirlwind Just wanted to say - G1 ftw! Awesome to see a fan dragon here :D

@Prescott Dance, water, dance! :D Awesome dragon you have there! 1 Ticket [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=10394566] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/103946/10394566_350.png[/img] [/url] Link! From the Legend of Zelda series. :D 2 Tickets This particular Link is the Ocarina of Time version. He always wears a green tunic and is usually blonde, so the combination of green and yellow just struck me as Link-like. Green tunic meant he needed the green renaissance tunic, and him being the Hero of Time meant he needed a fairy. I already had the pixie procession, so I just switched it from the dragon I had it on to Link, who needed his fairy partner. Then when I had enough leather to make the journeyman satchels trade, he absolutely had to get them because Link always has a lot of equipment to carry around.

1 Ticket: Santa here is, you guessed it, Santa! ^^ [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=5896423] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/58965/5896423_350.png[/img] [/url] 2 Tickets: It took me a while to find him. The primary things were that he had to be red and white. I wanted a red body and white tertiary for sure. I also looked for Ice or Plague eyes to match. Since I'm part of the Holiday Hub he also matched one of the themes there. 3 Tickets: Any hatchlings want to visit Santa? [img]http://i.imgur.com/yy6Y0mZ.png[/img]

[b]1 Ticket...[/b] I don't really have a fan dragon as of yet... because i don't have the money to afford apparel and such for one :c But here's one of the entries i liked from the Showcase. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=12075147] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/120752/12075147_350.png[/img] [/url] He's supposed to be Mad Max. [b]2 Tickets...[/b] I think what the owner was thinking, was that they would make a dessert dragon of sorts. A survivor, a battle veteran. Clearly a lot of their colouration is minimal, with a lot of survival gear just like Mad Max. I think the apparel suits him very well actually, and typically... you have more "blander" colours so you blend in, and can camouflage in the dessert. There were a lot of sharp and spiky objects in the movie too! [b]3 Tickets...[/b] [img]http://i.imgur.com/037ITRQ.png[/img] Here is Mad Max the dragon, standing firmly on the car (i tried to rotate him abit so it looked more natural), being attacked from both sides. Oh no :c What will happen?

For 1 ticket: This is my Maleficent dragon :) [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=5671356] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/56714/5671356_350.png[/img] [/url] For 2 tickets: I actually found her by chance in the AH and thought OMG! She'd make the perfect Maleficent so I bought her on a whim. Her apparel though, I had to plan and make a budget for ;w; I happened to have the wings and feather tail on hand so that was good but the cape and the horns were stuff I knew she had to have so I had to save for them ;w;

:D Thanks! I love Guardians and while my coli team does not "match" at all I think they're really pretty on their own terms.

1. So I'm trying to get together four Founders of Hogwarts dragons. Yesteday I showed off Salazar in the cosplay contest; today I'm using Godric here: [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=11016531] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/110166/11016531_350.png[/img] [/url] 2. The Founders aren't very well-developed in the books, so all I really have is a vague personality and a color scheme, but I've been writing fanfic about them for years, so I at least had a little more to go on personality-wise. My version of Godric is brave, obviously, but also very intelligent and kind of neurotic; he's not an adventurer, he wants to stay home and do magical experiments and teach classes, but things keep being wrong with the world and he is compelled to try and make them less bad, and he is afraid of a lot of things but he does them anyway. (Generally I was basing him a lot on Neville Longbottom with a smidge of Hermione.) Given that, I had certain constraints as to picking the breed and also to some extent the Flight. I really love Guardians, so I was kind of gravitating towards them anyway, and while a lot of people write Guardians as being very enthusiastic about their Charges I kind of liked the idea of having one who was not thrilled about having a Charge but would never turn his back on the protection thereof. I also wanted him to be a Plentiful breed, because I wanted the breeds of the four dragons to roughly correspond with the social class of the four characters. (Salazar is an Imperial; I had to breed him myself because the color combo I needed was surprisingly rare. I'm hoping to find a Rowena-looking wildclaw or noc.) I thought for a long time about whether I ought to go with eye colors that went with the colors, or eye colors that represented the Flight I feel like best represented the characters, and in the end went with eye colors that actually "go." Light is a pretty good choice for the version of Godric that I had in mind, but IMO Arcane would be even better. I would have settled for Fire eyes, but I don't see him as very Fire-y even though that would probably be a stereotypical Flight for Gryffindor-type characters. I found a dragon with the exact right colors pretty quickly, because red and gold combos are fairly common, and after I'd scrolled him into a Guardian and given him the genes I liked, I gave him the [s]Sorting Hat[/s] Brown Wizard Hat That Is Totally Not Reminiscent Of Anyone Else's Intellectual Property and just kind of started throwing apparel on him until he looked pretty. The accent is called "Shining Idealist," which is very apropos. 3. Rowena was beyond irritated as she burst into Godric's office. "Godric, [i]where[/i] have you been, I've been waiting for you since noon, I thought we were going to meet up and work on translation transfigurations, if you're not here I'm going to be really --" She blinked. There was a dragon. It was red and yellow and it looked incredibly grumpy, probably because dragons did not belong indoors. Or in any proximity to Rowena, for that matter. "Dragon," she managed. She started running through all the flameproofing spells she knew in her head, trying not to be distracted by thoughts such as [i]But how did it get in here?[/i] and [i]What kind of dragon is it anyway? It's the wrong color for a Hebridean Black. Do Welsh Greens come in red? Or even just not-green?[/i] and [i]DRAGON THERE'S A DRAGON. DRAGON![/i] The dragon gave her a very sarcastic look. Rowena had not been aware dragons were capable of sarcasm, but it did make her feel a little better that at least they had that in common. It was wearing Godric's hat on one horn. "Did you [i]eat Godric?[/i]" Rowena demanded. The dragon curled up morosely in the corner of the room, shoving Godric's desk carefully out of its way with one forefoot. It shook the comically-small hat off, and glowered at her. [i]Oh. Of course,[/i] Rowena realized. "...Godric, you were trying that stupid randomized transfiguration spell again, weren't you?" The dragon tried to look innocent, and made a sort of shrugging motion with its wings. It looked towards Godric's desk with feigned curiosity, and then, seeing that several of the scrolls stacked perilously high on the desk had fallen to the floor, began trying to pick them up with its claws and put them back. "I mean I know it's got potential," Rowena continued, "but you should know better by now, especially after that last time when it turned all the books in the library into lobsters. You remember that, don't you? ...are you even listening to me?" The dragon shook its head, but at least it stopped trying to tidy the desk. "Last time it wore off in three hours, didn't it?" The dragon shook its head again and held up four claws. "Ah. Well. Could be worse," said Rowena. "You could be lobsters. It's really too bad you're afraid of heights or you could go [i]flying![/i]" She looked hopefully at the dragon. Maybe being a dragon made you magically not afraid of heights? And maybe she could go along? The dragon slumped back down and curled in on itself. Apparently not. "Well, maybe you should've thought of that before trying a dangerous spell on yourself," she said. "Seriously, since when am I the sensible one here? Wait here -- well, all right, it's not as though you've got much choice -- and I'll be back with a book to wait with you. All right?" She walked up and patted it gingerly on the head, and as she left, she thought it looked a little less unhappy.

[center][b]1 Ticket[/b] Meet Stetson (Because Stetsons are cool). He's my 11th Doctor Look-a-like. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=12170764] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/121708/12170764_350.png[/img] [/url] [b]2 Tickets[/b] XD My only real requirement is that he was blue and a he when it came to cosplaying. Nothing more. His apparel is quite simple too so honestly I didn't have too much difficulty picking him. Besides he's just cosplaying right now. Honestly I haven't Obtained my perfect dragon yet but when I do I'll be ready to snatch him up. Hopefully he will be a dark blue imperial. [b]3 Tickets[/b] [img]http://i.picresize.com/images/2015/06/27/dTFOo.jpg[/img] He's attemping to fly the Tardis with the Parking Break On... Again...[/center]

1 Ticket Okay, so, I have a ton of fan dragons. Actually, 90% of my lair at least is fan dragons. Narrowing it down to one dragon, I will go with a recent addition, Maedhros [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=13689651] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/136897/13689651_350.png[/img] [/url] 2 Tickets So, I'd been planning on a Maedhros dragon for a long while. But it had to be just the perfect red dragon. And I wanted it to be a noc. Then finally I found it. The double blood is morbidly perfect for Maedhros. And the maroon is fiery to also morbidly represent his death. I haven't decided quite on apparel yet. Maybe bloody wraps, though my Tyelpe already has those. But gene wise I almost always go for crystal and facet. I love shiny. And the spines are perfect for a warrior and son of Feanor. 3 Tickets Fingon sang, hoping desperately that Maedhros could hear him. In response, all he heard was a loud roar that somehow sounded vaguely familiar. He frantically rode the eagle to the peak of Thangorodrim. And, to his horror, there was a dark red dragon. The dragon's right wing was chained to the cliff face while the rest of the dragon hung. He reached for his sword. Then the dragon turned and looked at him. He gasped in horror. He would recognize those eyes anywhere. Morgoth had turned Maedhros into a dragon.
