Murk/Robin/Cinnamon is a TERRIBLE combo, but it's what I got from the Aether release, so I had to make it work somehow. I thought he'd have to have a basic tert forever until Carnivore was released! Thank goodness for it!

She was originally born as an Aether, and I just couldn't gene her right with her colors. I don't remember where I got the idea to breed change her, but I'm so glad I did!

I hatched Melody a couple of years ago on my birthday. A lot of the people I showed her to were lamenting her colors, but I found out that she was gorgeous really fast.

I love her so, so much. ----- Omaira's a weird one, what with a Beige secondary, but I feel like I made it all come together pretty well.

It was still a bit difficult to settle on genes I liked, since mint is such a cool green, but luckily crimson icing's accent color tied them together! [i]Mint / Crimson / Blood[/i] [/columns]

I hope it's ok to have more than 3 images as long as it's just sharing 3 dragons as per the rules -- I feel like one of these dragons is really warranting a before/after to show how I made them work, haha. ----- FIRST: Shyogana! I don't really remember the circumstance of why I bought Shyo, but she really didn't work for me at first. In fact, I almost sent her off during a dom push one month -- but for some reason, I felt really guilty about it, and I by some miracle managed to cancel her CR [i]RIGHT[/i] before she got taken (the rest I'd sent had already been accepted, it was literally a last second save). And boy am I glad I did! The genes she has now absolutely make her colors work in comparison to how I got her.

One of my event map Fathoms! That Grapefruit really threw me for a loop, and I didn't think Turquoise/Phthalo would have good accents or go with the grapefruit. I was wrong!

This is surprisingly tricky, because while I love making dragons work, I've done it so much that I don't often have the mindset that it can't! So the hardest part was finding dragons that failed the Basic/Basic/Underbelly test— so often even the weird combinations I was going, "No, but actually, it's not that weird…" [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/90847278][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/908473/90847278_350.png[/img][/url] Thamnophis, though, unquestionably deserves to be here with Plum/Copper/Pear, relying heavily on yellow accents and Mochlus in particular. I was so excited when I found Thamnophis, but I'm well aware that it's not a color combination most people would be excited for!

But it's not that I don't think her colors could work together otherwise even when they're not matchy, it's just that it genuinely surprises me when I realize they're all from such different parts of the color wheel.

She's Moon/Carmine/Robin, where Moon would be neutral except that Pinstripe is adding greens to the mix as well, and unlike the other two it ended up one part me loving her colors and genes already (to this day, I do not know why, and it's been five years now) and one part finding an outfit to pull the color balance more evenly all over her body.
