Raffles & Giveaways

[center][b][u]Celebrating Family[/u][/b][/center] [center]2/2[/center] [center]Here I am once again, torn picking dragons.[/center] [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/69673155][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/696732/69673155_350.png[/img][/url] [nextcol] @/obsidian14 Anacardium Anacardium and his sister Dracaena were hard to chose between, both have a similar color and apparel scheme I enjoy. Browns or brownish grey, pinks and gold. They both wear it very well and in a way that makes you wonder if they're powerful mages, rich traders. Maybe seen as royalty or something else entirely. [/columns] [columns] @/Sectonia Crow His lore is so cute! I love the matching done between his underbelly and apparel. A Halloween hatch that gives off more magic and the in-between state,, rather then solely it's spookiness. [nextcol] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/90192661][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/901927/90192661_350.png[/img][/url] [/columns] [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/75335328][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/753354/75335328_350.png[/img][/url] [nextcol] @/kyoi Calendula Can never go wrong with autumn themed dragons, even if he was born in January. A+ matching colors as well, thought he was a double. Very reminiscent of fall growth, color changing leaves. Wonder if he likes pumpkin spice or apple cider better? Or if he even likes that time of year, as look are deceiving. [emoji=skydancer winking size=1] [/columns] [columns] @/Sinnouk Peretur Tall, dark and mysterious. Potentially ominous and maybe a little cold given his broadcast message. Definitely looks like he has connections and many secrets. Love the darker vibes. [nextcol] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/75202234][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/752023/75202234_350.png[/img][/url] [/columns] [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/84186810][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/841869/84186810_350.png[/img][/url] [nextcol] @/LokiFire Koth His stained is SO GOOD, I thought he was also a double at first. Also has a dark vibe, but in a different way. More mischievous or coy, definitely looks like someone important with all the bling.[/columns] [columns] @/Hyzenthlaay Brimstone Reds and blues and dark greys/back are always a fantastic combo. Love the super saturated colors mixed with his gray primary. Poor fellow, always stuck cleaning up someone else's paranormal mishaps. Hopefully he can catch a break once in a while. [nextcol] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/74404159][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/744042/74404159_350.png[/img][/url] [/columns] [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/80462668][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/804627/80462668_350.png[/img][/url] [nextcol] @/WillowtheWisp Squarrosu See, I told you that you can never ho wrong with autumn-esque colors. Today I learned tarnish myrid looks like and it's nice. I would have said she looks bright, cute and happy. But given her lore, that's quite far from the truth. Well, the happy part at least. Despite the unfortunate circumstance, it's cool she found some kind of ancient dragon underground.[/columns] [columns] @/GhostRein Bane Spooky and intimidating, but in a cool way. Ethereal and maybe other worldly. Vampires are cool and he's definitely got the feel of one. Or like, one of those castle owners who has outlived pretty much everyone in the surrounding town, no one knows. But they always say there's something 'off' about him. [nextcol] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/92284997][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/922850/92284997_350.png[/img][/url] [/columns]

@Ratralsis Thank you so much for your nice words about my silly little sillies! It makes me so happy Alcides can make people smile, Equilibrium too! It’s always lovely to see other people like some of my favourite dragons :D Your boy Ierama definitely caught my eye, especially since he’s Alcides’s grandson! [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/89603441][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/896035/89603441_350.png[/img][/url] I just love everything you’ve done with him! Especially how the blues of his augmented gear looks alongside his secondary. His lore had me grinning, learning on the job indeed! Those burns though, poor guy I hope they don’t hurt too much! I’m sure he’ll be an amazing pyrotechnician once he’s gotten the hang of it, keep working hard Ierama! Your grandfather’s rooting for you :D

@InkCorvid I did not realize Ierama was related to your Alcides! That's an incredible coincidence! Or... maybe not SO incredible, given that the whole point of this is to have fun celebrating this lineage, but still pretty cool!

[center][b][u]Celebrating Family - Part 2[/u][/b] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/76272075][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/762721/76272075_350.png[/img][/url] @LoveAccidentally - i absolutely adore Chandra's colorful appearance. The little message about her participating in the skydance seems so fitting from her look alone, the apparels mix so well with the skin and i can fully imagine her helping others to be just as colorful. She is really beautiful and even tho there a quite a few apparels on her, it does not look crouded in a bad way, but more fitting to how she presents herself. Its really nice :3 [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/89603441][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/896035/89603441_350.png[/img][/url] @Ratralsis - His outfit is so, so cool! I love the little lore you wrote here, that he would also light up the sky with others. Poor guy tho with the accident, but wonderful he does not let himself be stopped by that and stays determined to follow his passion. His apparels work great with his natural colors and genes and the canon as firework canon kind off is such a cool idea! I really like him :) [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/84697493][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/846975/84697493_350.png[/img][/url] @InkCorvid - Alcides is one of the most pretty wildclaws i ever saw! I love these colors and genes, they look so soft and pleasing to the eye. The skin and apparels added to him give him an even more gentle look and he just looks so incredibly sweet to me! His little lore here that his kids would drag him to the dancefloor seem absolutely fitting. He looks like a total sweetheart and the scene pulls this all together even more <3 [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/68454394][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/684544/68454394_350.png[/img][/url] @SilentWanderer - i wanted to honor Asche in my family celebration as well as i noticed she is the third kid from your wonderful pair that started this all and the first thats still existing cause her two silblings before her are exalted. I absolutely loved the heartbreaking lore behind this and that she was a single egg in her nest is such a sweet fact. Her apparels are such a wild mix and still, she gives off a theme and is not just chaotic. I absolutely love the foresty look, like she runs through thick forests to explore with her description about her being lively so fitting for that :)[/center]

[center] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/92994523][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/929946/92994523_350.png[/img][/url] True to his name, Molasses has taken his time getting ready for the Skydance, but fashionably late is better than never! "Are there perhaps any sweet treats left? I can always make more. And eat more! Every chef needs a taste tester, right?" Hoping to get some compliments out before the event ends, life has been busy but it's been so much fun seeing everyone's dragons!

@silentwanderer [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/84067795][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/840678/84067795_350.png[/img][/url] I just wanted to say that Coriolis look so cool!! I love how their colors and accent match up with TrickTock. And also I love the pun on TrickTok lol. Also taking a look at their parents and kids, Cori had to be changed into a sandsurge, which just further goes to show the love and dedication that you put into their design. And the fact that they're a Naomi descended reminded be about the whole Naomi event in the first place, which prompted me to go get my own Naomi lol. All in all, a beautiful dragon!

She immediately gets to work helping out with painting and setting out decorations, making sure everything is just perfect for the event, before getting distracted chatting away with her siblings still living in their home clan (especially Amyas—she hasn't seen him since his great birthday tour!).  Elwyn assists by crafting delicious fresh baked goods and snacks, setting them out for all of their relatives to enjoy and continuing to craft new ones each time supply runs low. Little Skylar is too small to do much, but he happily busies himself chasing around loose streamers and ribbons, leaping into the air to bat at them with his paws or wrestling them on the ground. Elwyn occasionally glances over his shoulder with a smile, keen never to let his baby brother out of his sight. Vinha, though shy and not keen to go out of her way to be social, has crafted gorgeous floral arrangements, garlands, and wreaths to adorn the area and bring a touch of nature's beauty to it. She has put up a stand to hand out carefully-crafted bouquets and lovingly tended potted flowers to any dragons interested. Crow has decided to use his magical skills to make the area just a bit sparklier and prettier; with a little enchantment, Vinha's arrangements and Elwyn's baking smell just a bit sweeter, and every decoration radiates a soft, gentle, beautiful glow.  [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/91670786][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/916708/91670786.png[/img][/url][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/92245372][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/922454/92245372.png[/img][/url] Nahir watches Udon for a moment, before lifting off to join his uncle in the sky, creating beautiful spirals and loops to compliment Udon's graceful aerial dances. Mochi hesitates not a moment before joining their brother in the sky; they may be small, but they're no less skilled in the air than Nahir and Udon, and with their radiant colours they look just like the streamers waving gracefully about in the breeze. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/89268512][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/892686/89268512.png[/img][/url][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/89785462][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/897855/89785462.png[/img][/url][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/93299057][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/932991/93299057.png[/img][/url] Vinha's daughters were eager to come along, excited to see their family's home clan for the first time. Eri sets up games for hatchlings and grown dragons who cannot fly to enjoy during the sky dance so as not to feel left out, while her younger sister Sila gets to work crafter refreshments of flavoured lemonades and teas for others to enjoy. Aurora watches her airborne relatives with slight envy that she can't join them, but cheers them on with a great smile, just happy to see everyone having fun. She decides to assist her mother in decorating with flowers, and begins to weave flower crowns and corsages for others to wear, as well as delicately weaving small flowers into her own mane. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/88868147][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/888682/88868147.png[/img][/url][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/87116241][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/871163/87116241.png[/img][/url] Sonata and his cousin Corretto are eager to join in the festivities themselves. Sonata makes sure there are tables and comfortable sitting places for everyone, complete with parasols to provide extra shade. Corretto joins the others crafting refreshments, brewing fine coffees of every type and selling rich chocolates to go along with them.

@CosmicFalcon
Thank you so much for your compliments about Crow!! So sorry for the late reply, I almost missed it :'0
I'm so glad you like the vibe I chose for him too! I love the spooky aspect of Halloween, but the magic bit is such a fun part that's often overlooked, and with his colours I felt he captured that side of Halloween perfectly <3

@LoveAccidentally [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/92994523][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/929946/92994523_350.png[/img][/url] Wanted to jump in just to compliment Molasses. There's something very appealing to me about this guy's apparel, and how it tells a story all on its own with him being covered in flowers, and also honey, and also bees, and also bandages (from bee stings, I have to assume?), and a tankard (for honey, I have to assume?). That he would show up hoping for sweet treats and the opportunity to make and eat even more fits my idea of him as honey-obsessed and willing to do whatever it takes to get more. But I've been wrong before, so by all means correct me!

Thank you to everyone who's participated so far! I'm afraid I haven't had the spoons for a lore write up today, and I'm not able to thank you all individually, but please know I appreciate all of your messages and kind words to one another. That's what this is all about <3 Thank you so much to those of you who've complimented my dragons - I absolutely love other people enjoying them! (And as you may have noticed, I treasure the comments and they remain in the bios <3) But what I CAN do is offer compliments in return, so I shall begin now ^^ [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/90203596][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/902036/90203596_350.png[/img][/url] @abzoro Solania's white Thundercrack is so striking! (That pun was unintentional but very welcome). Sailfish is such a wonderful gene, I adore the surprising colour combos it gives and I'm a big fan of green + brown! I love how the yellowish brown in her Flair works with the brown on her back despite being very different colours. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/89006333][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/890064/89006333_350.png[/img][/url] @exocutionn Female bogsneak pose is so beautiful, they just look so elegant and regal and they absolutely know it. So Narcissa's name is very apt! I adore her outfit and that scry looks super cool! Platinum Opal is such a soft colour, it's gives me the impression of petals rather than a hard surface, and it'd work perfectly with the colours of the Primal eye blossoms! [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/81362796][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/813628/81362796_350.png[/img][/url] @Disillusionist Isikhova has an amazing outfit and I like how it carries a similar sort of mystery as her father. I genuinely thought she had Koi for a moment - the subtle effect her accent gives on the wings is so good. I love all the little touches of blue that tie everything together - gorgeous! [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/89603441][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/896035/89603441_350.png[/img][/url] @Ratralsis what a character Ierama is! I only hope he's not too sore from all of his rather explosive experiments XD I absolutely love his shoulder-mounted firework cannon and his very appropriate supplies. (I'm sure his satchel contains many more backup bandages...). He seems to be thriving in these festivities and I'm so happy to see it! I think he'd get along with [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/77557152]Conundrum[/url], a rather eccentric inventor. They create many things, none of which are particularly useful. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/92131091][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/921311/92131091_350.png[/img][/url] @WhiteDemony I don't recall Evalie but she's gorgeous! I love the Cantaloupe Rosette on her mane and her lovely big feathered ears. I really like her striking blue eyes peering out from beneath her mane too. She's such a cosy looking dragon ^^
