I already spoke a bit about Grove's current skin, [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/game-database/item/23595]Plasma Caster[/url], in my [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/3202154/3#post_53285591]Sunday's post[/url]. It certainly doesn't look like something a more traditional wind representative might wear, but as I mentioned, the pretty picture came first and the idea for the flight representatives followed after. And it just looks so good on him with his eldritch and avocado colors!
Grove's not the only one with a Thundercrack Carnivale skin/accent, either; my lightning, water and plague representatives (will) have them as well. Since lightning is the technological flight, it makes sense they have much more cybernetic skins available as well. Fire, ice and light representatives lucked out, and I found them skins from their own festivals. The rest (arcane, nature, earth and shadow) are going to be using UMAs, and I can hear my vault sobbing whenever I look at my shopping list...

My two favourite Tundra F accents are... from festivals from other elements (although I put the second one on a Plague dragon and it fits her just right!) I'm not going to give this dragon an accent (I usually only ever use skins/accents that cover large areas when there... is something to cover.) I have a light rep who looks amazing in her skin, just don't look at the colours underneath...

I *try* not to look at UMAs for budget reasons so nothing comes to mind, but I do use (and sometimes overuse) fest accents, not necessarily for flight rep purposes, but often sort of lore purposes, like the [skin=43107]. I've also used some Coli accent for Flight Reps such as those two:

I am in general opposed to full body skins because I think you lose a lot of the creativity of character building, however, in this instance, the colors went well enough with the actual color of the dragon that I could trick my brain into going along with it. I do like him (placeholder pronoun, I am thinking about trying to find something non gendered because hes a spirit) both ways, and the skin may or may not be permanent.[/center]
Skins are equippable items that can be worn like a coat of paint on top of the skin of your dragon. The look of the accent will not be passed onto offspring and may be unequipped at any time. (Designed by Pande28.)

[b]Wednesday - Vista[/b]
[b]Task:[/b] Choose your vista. Write 1-3 sentences on how you picked that one. Or, for fun, you can describe your "perfect" vista for your flight rep if it doesn't exist.
The vistas change the look of the bio too much for my liking so I haven’t been utilizing them to present. If I did select one for the couple dragons I’ve been working on the Lore during this event, it would be the following ones:

As a blacksmith, it seemed fitting to display a vista containing some examples of his work. Ideally it would contain a bit of forge in the background along with an anvil but this will certainly suffice.
For Cormun - [gamedb item=19325]

The Flameforger’s Festival is the perfect fit for the Fire Liaison. This is especially true for Cormun who has fully embraced the role.

The Gaolers where, obviously, skeptical at first becuase she was not a "True Ice dragon", but it was soon discovered that she was very talented in ice magic. They eventually accepted her, and she now guards the front of the fortress. (At least untill she discovers the Underwater Caverns)

Out of all the Mistral Jamboree skins/accents, I liked Windblown Bonsai and Windy Glow for Siena. It was a very difficult decision to make. Ultimately, [gamedb item=29588] was chosen since it matches her eyes and looks lovely contrasting the dark purple patchwork conjurer's garb.

Torek has been wearing this accent for a while and I chose it because I liked how it accentuated the blue glimmer he has on him! It also has the blue energy accents especially on the wings that I feel is really fitting to showcase that he's powered by lightning energy. Slightly related to the accent though I really wanted the steampunk wings to come in the same colour as the blue on the wings so it would look like he has lightning wings but this style works I guess, I'm imagining it as wing covers or something but that apparel was picked to match that accent. ^^

[*]I decided on Accent: Fire Opal for Prometheus because his colors and patterns either clashed with or obscured the other fire-related skins.
[*]Prometheus is a rather flashy dragon, even if he'd rather not be. Growing up, he'd had to learn how to accept that he would always draw attention just by being around other dragons. The Fire Opal accent allows him to settle down the business of his appearance without losing his look that he spent years learning to love.

This one is kind of a half-effort entry because I forgot about it for most of the day, but Julie's current accent is [gamedb item=19046]. It's simple and effective, and I just really liked it. I would often pick an ambassador based on an accent that I liked, and this one fell into place easily - no robotics, no equipment to lore my way around, just pure, simple Lightning magic.
