Support, it looks bad sorry

Support.

There are plenty of breeds that don't have their secondary covering or even fully covering the topside on wings so it's not really a consistency issue. All fathom's official art (and characters) also have their wing arm as their primary color on top, so if anything the 'updated' female art is now the inconsistency.

Overall, not mad, more disappointed and mildly annoyed that things like this keep happening. Especially without any announcement from staff.

hey staff this sucks and no one likes it, please put it back. what's the point in making an aesthetic change that no one is happy with? at the end of the day, it really is just aesthetics. this is the pretty dragons website. how it looks is genuinely the most important thing, and it looked better before.

[quote name="Cryoflyte" date="2024-09-22 10:19:24" ] Support. I don't mind the new look (except for with Bee, it's awful), and my affected dragon still looks fine to me. But this thing where dragons are getting changed long after the fact in the name of a highly questionable concept of "consistency" is getting really old. And this one isn't even actually consistent. This does not match the males, where the primary-secondary gradient clearly extends well past the 'elbow'. It's just inconsistent in a new and mostly uglier way. I know I'm not saying anything that hasn't already been said repeatedly in this thread, but come on. Why does this keep happening? [/quote] this. support

Sorry for replying twice but the wing arm is literally in the middle of the image, they ruined the balance between primary and secondary by the change. Now from afar the silhouette of the wings are barely distinguishable, looking like a blob rather than a wing. Why did they have to change it?

I've already posted here, but still supporting this.

If they don't revert this stupid change, I'm going to have to dump treasure into breed changing the dragons who have been the worst affected in order to fix them, which is something I don't really want to..

i didn't even know about this until checking this thread tbh (i only have m and hatchling pose fathoms bc i didn't really like f pose as much and still don't, not sure why ibjust prefer the other two) but lookimg at these before/afters and i feel really bad for those who did have dragons they're attached to in that pose, especially becwuse i haven't really seen any instance where it makes the dragon look better

agree that either male pose should have the smaller area wing altered slightly if consistency is that much of an issue or it just be kept as it used to be since breeds in general already have some dimorphism and whatnot

[/quote] This? I really can't word it any better, because we're all here for pretty dragons, and you changed pretty dragons to much less pretty dragons, in an attempt to make them... more matchy? What is wrong with the difference being dimorphic? It wouldn't be the first time (/waves at Tundras, for example) and the majority preferred how it was before. How it was [i]released[/i]. Literally, in triple basic, [i]released[/i] with the arm colour as the Prim and not the Sec. [i]Please[/i] return them to the previous version. Please.

Oh wow I never noticed that, I agree there should be more consistency and the first looks a little nicer, especially since the arm/hand part of their wings is so clearly defined, it doesn't make visual sense to me why the secondary would overlap there? Though could be up to interpretation and perhaps that was the artists' original intention? A little jarring from a player perspective though--support.
