I like it! It's definitely going to be a situational gene, but as someone who loves sparkly things, it's right up my alley. It doesn't have to work on every dragon for every aesthetic to be a good gene, and the simplicity and low coverage of it is nice and can make it really versatile. And it makes for some fun little accents underneath apparel where it might just peek out only in a few spots.

The execution is a bit off for me.
Some of the bigger stars look out of place on some poses, and I agree that added depth would have helped. I'd have like to see a slight glow around some of the stars. Firefly has a glow, why not Sparkle?
I like it enough that I'll make use of it though. Certainly more than Firefly, which I dislike because of the fireflies themselves, lol. Give me a baby between Firefly and Sparkle and I think that's what I'd want.

To be honest... Not a fan, and it's a real shame because I love sparkly stuff, but I agree with you that it just looks sticker-like.
Thing is, it wouldn't take much to make it not look so, either. This is a quick edit I did.

If it was more like this, more glowy, I'd be a big fan, but as it is...
Eh.
I can't see myself using it for anything.

Won´t use it, but I can see how some will appreciate it

I love it honestly. A good option if you have an odd tert on a dragon that you want spread, but don't want to change the color of the dragon too much. Looks great with flaunt/flair, crystal/facet, fade/blend, and slime/sludge at least on my guestimation.
I can see myself using it a LOT. I prefer it dramatically over fireflies, because for me I just got weirded out by the idea of a swarm of bugs on my dragon. I love how it looked but couldn't justify it being bugs basically. Just sparkles? That's more my jam.
10/10 basically for me. Ticks all my boxes.

I aaaalmost don't mind it, like I'm sure its exactly what some people have been waiting for. But also it just feels condescending to me. "You want a sparkle gene? Here's your freaking sparkle gene." It just feels so minimal effort.

Sparkle really reminds me of those purikura effects.
I don't know yet if I like the gene or not, need to see more dragons with it to form a better opinion.

I really like it on certain dragons and works well on certain bright terts.
I do agree that the gene looks flat at times and kind of off.

I'm not really a fan, but not because I find it lazy or whatever. All art takes effort. More so because I find it too cartoon for my tastes to use.

I'm not a fan either. It's flat, many colors look dreadful, the spacing and size of the sparkles is off. What I don't get is that the sparkle effects on starmap/constellation and flaunt/flare look nice, but they didn't put even half the effort into this new gene.
