All of this is just personal opinion, and my tastes are definitely in a different area, so don't take anything to heart. ^^
The layering inspires rage: bandages over bag and hat, brushes over hat. Please fix this man...
please. /lh Other than that his outfit is a bit busy, and I'm not quite sure how the pink hat is supposed to tie-in.
Not my taste. XXX with a gene set and perfectly matching eyes. It's nice enough, just lacks a certain individuality to it, and I'm not a fan of the green those genes pull in.
Again, layering. If you're also a mobile user, I feel for you. Outfit is a bit busy on the body, and it's criminal to not show off such a lovely color combo. Sky/Maize/Sunshine could make such a bright, cheerful-looking dragon. Considering the hood and spooky eyes, probably not what you're going for, though.
Crackle has never been a well-liked gene, and unfortunately in this case, I'm not a fan. The colors go together fine, just maybe not with these genes. I would say I'm not fond of seafoam either, so a few points were taken off on account of that. The main dealer breaker is the eyes: as an Arcanite it breaks my heart to say it, but they just don't work. :'<
Colors are kind of just all over the place; nothing really ties into each other. Although they are pretty decent colors. Maybe a gene changed would present a unifying theme?
Scorch, Pyre, and Calypso are lovely, btw. Stapler is fun too!
(To whomever takes me, please only pick from the first two tabs in my lair. Bochord and Strive are getting gene and outfits changes; Vivián, Codium, Starwood, and Ilwolvvi are getting outfit changes. Feel free to critique their current appearance regardless. Who knows? Maybe it'll shape their new stuff
Also I just realized I only have 21 permas. Zoulich and Nexus are easy pickins' for this, but if you want three more to choose from, except for Leapday, I'll accept criticism of the first page in my sale/fodder tab too).

Thank you! Your insight has been quite helpful. I can't resist, so I would like to explain a few of my choices, though. ^^ No ping because grabbing your attention to say "okay, but..." on a fun forum game seems kind of rude.
1. You're absolutely right. She's an emaciated wanderer whose lifeforce is being sapped by the ghost possessing her. It's impossible to find anything that matches her colors, however. Guess I need to scatter her again. Been thinking about it for a while but didn't want to lose that pretty tangerine.
2. Maybe, but the outfit falls apart without it: her vest has a blue gem on it that needs to be hid so it doesn't pull in another color. I have a new outfit + gene plan for her anyway.
3. His colors really don't work together. Only thing making them okay is his outfit. The mantle accents his primary and is necessary as it's the only thing that pulls in his primary color (even then it's not a perfect color match but try finding apparel that matches strawberry). It is odd just having one piece of the set on him, idk why I removed the other piece or two I had on him. His tertiary ties in with the tan on the flame stuff, so I'm not personally getting what's wrong with it.
4. Cream, when you use lionfish, matches wine. And the skin eyes were on purpose. :) He's actually from one of my breeding projects, so the genes, colors, and eyes are all very intentional. Fair though, if he's not to your tastes.
5. Lore reason from that! She's just a peaceful little tea farmer who'll rip your throat out if you cross her. Glad you noticed the dissimilitude to her outfit. ^^
