Either have that rule in place for everything or not at all, there is no sensible reasoning behind keeping it for skins but not for genes. These genes are so hard to read they make half of the entire Spiral pure black and you can't even see Pearlcatchers hair anymore, how is that any different to using pure black on an accent that it would warrant exemption from this rule? IMO either the gene should be corrected or UMAs should be allowed to use black.

WOOOOOOOOOO

OMG THESE LOOK amazing

[/quote] By this logic, UMAs on Ancients should be able to ignore the lineart altogether since there are line breaking genes. As Undel said, Accents/Skins are not genes. We finally get a gene for Moderns that bends the rules and people have to make a fuss. It better not be 'corrected'. The only appeal for me that makes it worth being a gem gene is that it is such a dark black. And honestly I don't know what display setting that folks are using on their computers, but the lineart isn't 'totally obscured'.

[/quote] I don't see how having valid criticism is 'making a fuss', but you're entitled to your opinion as well. A lot of us don't believe it warrants being a gem gene either so that is also part of the criticism for it. It's not a bad gene but people should be free to voice their opinions and concerns either way. >the lineart isn't 'totally obscured' F Spiral's tail comes to mind. Either my screen is not calibrated or there is no lineart to be seen there. Edit: Wanted to add that the concern here is first and foremost with readability - which is why that rule was in place for UMAs to begin with, and why people are bringing the rule up with regards to this gene.

[/quote] @0rangedragon ...they literally do though - there are ancient UMA's specifically made with certain line breaking genes in mind because those are available file assets in the skin making process and can be used on that ancient regardless of whether or not they have the gene - ALSO ALSO ancient official skins AND UMA's are linebreaking ALREADY in themselves because UMA's made with the basic body in mind clip with line breaking terts example - my gliders dragon with the skin "sewer toridae" [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/dragon?did=74417308&skin=37172&apparel=&xt=dressing.png[/img] so like your argument is invalid across several spheres

i color picked using an art program and never does a spiral's tail turn completely black. it's dark, yes, but not completely black. [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/757640953593856052/933370458596855879/unknown.png[/img]
