Guides

@BeardedDragon123

Great, thanks for adding them to the list. I've finished a Saturn/Jupiter guide and I plan to do all the incomplete gene pairs. Just gotta wait to post a new thread so that I don't clog up the whole front page.

@Shisa
Wow, thanks! It helps a lot. It's kind of sad that the treasure genes don't get a lot of attention guide-wise, but I guess we'll fix that.

@BeardedDragon123

Seems like people tend to not make guides for them unless they are newly released!

@BeardedDragon123 I've made two more guides! I was going to start on Iridescent and Shimmer, but I'm not sure how to go about it...

Iridescent and shimmer are unique in how they tend to have a distinct look per dragon template, and I don't know if a single dragon template would do it justice.

@BeardedDragon123 there is now a ripple/current guide

@Shisha @BeardedDragon123 I'm working on a Vipera/Hypnotic one right now

@SomethingSmarmy

Dang your guide looks comprehensive!

@Shisa @SomethingSmarmy
I'll add in all the recent guides as soon as I'm able to.
I think for Iridescent you should do all the dragon breeds and genders (like TLTS), since they are so different. Thanks for making these!

@BeardedDragon123

Thanks! I've made a whole bunch of guides since you last updated. If SomethingSmarmy can finish that very ambitious and thorough vipera +hypnotic guide, then that leaves only a few gene pairs left.

For iridescent and shimmer, I was thinking of a different approach. One post per color, with all 14 breeds on display in both male and female. (Babies excluded because permababies are so uncommon.) One post per color would prevent the guide from getting packed with slow-loading images. That would be over 100 posts in a row though. Would posting that much be considered spammy, I wonder?

@Shisa
Maybe two-three colors per post? It would be quite a lot of images, but fewer posts overall. If you wanted to, you could even make two or more threads, titled as "... guide part 1, part 2, etc."
