-loving!
in other words, let me see the dragons you've grown to love over time after being indifferent to/disliking them!
bit of a weird prompt but I'd love a bit of reassurance from y'all :') I've never been so unsure over a finished project before and I'd be grateful if I could see some success stories to give me hope that I can get over this rut, too!
bit of a ramble incoming, but I recently finished breeding for my protagonist's little brother, Kaikura.
just a scry since he's sitting ungened in my lair right now, but between the time I first scried him (about two years ago?) and now, I realized:
1. I don't want Capsule on most of my lore dragons
2. he might've been better with a brown-range/more earthy tert color
and 3. I actually really like the fade Skink gives his belly, I just hated it when I first scried him which is why I was so eager to cover it up :')
I haven't completely fallen out of love with his design! the vast majority of it is still appealing to me, it's just that his tert gene/color is giving me So Much Grief. what's worse is that I'm obsessed with how it makes his tail look in particular and I'd hate to get rid of that part, but the rest of it isn't really doing it for me.
this is the plan I have for his outfit:
and looking past the disdain I've developed for that shawl, I've realized it accentuates the emptiness of Capsule So Heavily. I wish I could write my past self a strongly worded letter over that one.
it feels kind of ironic. lore-wise, his older brother Dayo was loved and obsessed over by their community, which left Kura both overshadowed and unwanted. in real life, Dayo is my perfect little angel baby who can do no wrong and Kura is the "did I mess up with this project?" baby :') unintentional next level method writing.
his older brother's birthday is soon and since I've got it in my head that Kura hatched a week+ later than him, I thought it'd be a cool nod to my lore if he was born around the same time in-game too! I just..didn't really take into account that the most recent nest could actually give me him so soon, so now I'm staring at him wondering if I should gene him now or see if the next nest gives me a boy with a better birthdate.
I finished two other projects recently and I can't describe how happy I was to finally have them in my lair, so it hits extra hard that I'm so :/ on him, especially taking into account how he's existed as a character for literal years before the other two did.
it might be time for a skincent but I am so so so indecisive when it comes to those ;; if y'all have any suggestions for that or his overall outfit, please lemme hear 'em! he's a very reserved & pessimistic fugitive who lives off the land of the Sunbeam Ruins and is basically if the angry squirrel who throws acorns at your head every autumn gained sapience. he's pivoted towards a very autumn-y theme in my head but I've got no clue if that vibe shows through his design.
I digress. your dragons! let me see them!!
