Flight Rising Discussion

i just have one, but my main focus was secondary for fur/hair color.
i generally probably wouldn't care too much for primary as long as it's fitting to the character, except the one i have is a vampire, so i wanted it some kind of white range.

here’s my fandragon of eivor from assasins creed, who doesn’t use anything from the original character except for the eyes and the grey wings being like a cloak!

So your fandragon can have colors based on a theme rather than the real character look!

I usually make primary the skin color, secondary hair color and tert is characters special trait, something to change the hair color when there is no matching one or just a color the character has on them but the apparel don't (like for example there is no good blue body apparel like coat/cloak there's mages tunic but it's too bright and aviator is half white so blue underbelly works fine)

Sometimes I make exceptions when characters outfit would look really good as genes rather than apparel

honestly i don't have any set way of doing it, though i do go for secondary matching hair color a lot. usually it's mostly just what i feel fits, i guess?

nowadays i also tend to plan out outfits beforehand so the dragon usually follows from that

I usually base my fandragons' primaries + secondaries off of their hair color, instead of giving their primaries a skin-tone. Its just personal preference for me! Especially when said dragons don't have colored apparel to fit their outfits.

I usually model their colors after their costume

i typically try to get the secondary to match hair color, and go with either skin color or a prevalent outfit color for the primary. tertiary's a case-by-case basis, usually just whatever i feel adds to the combo and makes a dragon feel like "them." there are exceptions here and there, though; my favorite fandragon has a primary that matches his hair and a secondary that's just kind of thematic, since i just really like how he looks.

would've done Ice sec but that's a lot harder to find for G1s and didn't look as pretty anyway LOL

I tend to base the primary on their clothing rather than skin color (all that white/cream would look so boring :p) and base the secondary either on hair color or another fitting color to their look.
Actually, I think I have 1 dragon with their primary based on skin tone and that's because it's also part of his overall colorscheme anyway.

Really I guess it depends on the dragon/character and what's the most recognizable features for them. Plus, I have to think if FR has the proper apparel or if I'll have to mimic that in their colors and go from there. (FR jackets/hoodies when???)


For the tert I tend to again base it on clothing color (or in some cases for 'gorey' characters it gets turned into blood via crackle or smirch or thylacine occasionally). Other times it might attribute to the character's overall look, which may or may not be part of their outfit.

I do have a few based on things like Harry Potter houses and GoT houses (is that the term it's been a while???)
For those I basically just make the dragon those colors in whatever way looks nice to me.

Eye color for me is basically the character's eye color- if I can figure it out, as some are hard to look at and figure out. Otherwise I just try to match their color scheme. Although, I'll admit, some are just different because I didn't think about it at the time of getting/breeding for them but really, eyes are so small on most breeds it likely isn't noticeable.

Feel free to check mine out if you want to see what I mean by my explanation. Some have character images in their bios. HERE and HERE
