The challenge continues with a Mirror, same as usual :( Our new heir, Adalyn, has only inherited Current from her father. I still don't like the colors, and probably won't until we get tighter ranges. Her eyes are cute though...

I'd be okay with getting a Skydancer heir though.

If only the Skydancer baby had been on the other end :( On the plus side, our heir is a male with some funky colors. RNG has named him Kiefer.

The mate I grabbed from the AH is 5 years old [emoji=coatl scared size=1] She's definitely not getting exalted once I'm done with her.

I am back after a hiatus and just hatched Mendel & NettieStevens' nest to reveal: [center][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/61867d6d2c82f9ef301c0c998702e9ae/b51ef2f20ccb47ae-08/s400x600/40de5a05b271f2aeb884ffc7e24f751cd52ef0e0.jpg[/img] [/center] For previous posts, which show off the complete progression of this challenge: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/1936380/248#post_42071383][b]First post[/b][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/1936380/248#post_42145231][b]Second post[/b][/url] I have chosen the one on the left to be the heir. I have acquired a mate for him, but they both have to grow up and become breedable first!

I'll be doing a dom push when they become ready to hatch, but I'll try to hatch them as soon as I have room.

I'll decide after the new pair hatch their nest.

[center]wow, it's been a looong while! i hope nobody minds me posting an update :o here are the kids (well, they've been adults for years now lol): [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=32&bodygene=42&breed=3&element=3&eyetype=0&gender=1&tert=51&tertgene=18&winggene=42&wings=146&auth=9edfcd419b2fc98c9ce705469e3c1f983b9f8e56&dummyext=prev.png[/img] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=141&bodygene=42&breed=3&element=3&eyetype=9&gender=0&tert=74&tertgene=38&winggene=42&wings=127&auth=ab9a38376d38fca98780a2ca524d8695954ddf44&dummyext=prev.png[/img] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=35&bodygene=42&breed=7&element=3&eyetype=3&gender=0&tert=138&tertgene=38&winggene=42&wings=97&auth=26146bfa0531818b7113f165002bae9e11a9dfa4&dummyext=prev.png[/img] i went with the second one, named chantilly by the RNG. his mate will be this gal: [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=59&bodygene=82&breed=15&element=9&eyetype=2&gender=1&tert=66&tertgene=17&winggene=82&wings=86&auth=602246eeedb204f5913e504acf19173590e7722b&dummyext=prev.png[/img] named mistress by RNG! let's see how this goes![/center]

[center] [font=Lucida Console][size=5][b]Chapter 1[/b][/size][/font] I decided it'd be fun to do some breeding challenges because the baseline "colored chaos" fodder pairs were not bringing me the joy they used to. So I went on the AH for my least favorite pose and breed, that is, male Snappers, to see what would happen. I know this man is an XXY, but something about the Opal just looked...deeply disturbing. They felt like a poignant reminder that no, Fla/Fla can not save all colors. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/76870202][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/768703/76870202_350.png[/img][/url] They were named Regent by the RNG. A remarkably regal name for such a horrid little man. Their mate, a fellow common breed, was bought at fodder price and shows the nicer side of Fla/Fla XXYs. This is a dragon I would have bought anyway, most likely. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/77046470][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/770465/77046470_350.png[/img][/url] I must admit, this challenge may go faster than average for me because I like weird color combos. Basically anything sufficiently bright is a win in my book, but this seems fun. Let's go for it.

[center]next update! i actually did two rounds since i last posted! hatched: [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=115&bodygene=42&breed=3&element=3&eyetype=2&gender=1&tert=1&tertgene=38&winggene=42&wings=12&auth=51b2b025b916e96d8feefa721d86762dc0247990&dummyext=prev.png[/img] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=130&bodygene=42&breed=3&element=3&eyetype=1&gender=0&tert=109&tertgene=38&winggene=42&wings=8&auth=dcf56ba1a1d4aea8b48e7b660a9aa59927c94977&dummyext=prev.png[/img] i chose the second one! named carmeli. they're both cool! as his mate i chose a girlie i've had for years, marianne: [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=4&bodygene=7&breed=13&element=10&eyetype=0&gender=1&tert=162&tertgene=14&winggene=8&wings=23&auth=78fab2d1f37ae88bcc1b56eeb77084678dbc3c57&dummyext=prev.png[/img] then these are their kids: [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=70&bodygene=42&breed=3&element=3&eyetype=0&gender=0&tert=94&tertgene=14&winggene=42&wings=70&auth=545bc9b1393a498b8e78c5f819f782e763f66fc8&dummyext=prev.png[/img] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=147&bodygene=42&breed=3&element=3&eyetype=0&gender=0&tert=63&tertgene=14&winggene=42&wings=15&auth=850fa67a73ea43ce42ab08364d5fece13cd9422e&dummyext=prev.png[/img] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=16&bodygene=42&breed=13&element=3&eyetype=3&gender=0&tert=120&tertgene=38&winggene=42&wings=175&auth=09aa9fd8a79175354db6ec6c9931bc4d881f5c44&dummyext=prev.png[/img] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=15&bodygene=42&breed=3&element=3&eyetype=0&gender=0&tert=61&tertgene=14&winggene=42&wings=176&auth=ca65e302a3adf3e7b9eed292043122922f7bb4f1&dummyext=prev.png[/img] i like them! i picked the second one. his name is leonis. his mate will be this queen, named dazzlegaze: [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=150&bodygene=24&breed=1&element=1&eyetype=0&gender=1&tert=67&tertgene=14&winggene=25&wings=15&auth=4a8f0ff71361b0bf37d4475bb152ced754b41ba7&dummyext=prev.png[/img] i have a feeling this might be the last round! foresee progeny is giving me some cool predictions. [emoji=coatl laughing size=1] i'm so excited to be done with this challenge lol... i've been at it for 2 years now since i took a long break from fr! [/center]

[center] i did it!!! it's finally complete! here's who we got. three of them are xxy!: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/scrying/predict?breed=3&gender=0&age=1&bodygene=42&body=15&winggene=42&wings=15&tertgene=14&tert=107&element=3&eyetype=0][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=15&bodygene=42&breed=3&element=3&eyetype=0&gender=0&tert=107&tertgene=14&winggene=42&wings=15&auth=e4c700611bd805ede3e8b8d9dcf31a7f1b0e3562&dummyext=prev.png[/img][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/scrying/predict?breed=1&gender=1&age=1&bodygene=42&body=15&winggene=42&wings=15&tertgene=14&tert=63&element=3&eyetype=0][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=15&bodygene=42&breed=1&element=3&eyetype=0&gender=1&tert=63&tertgene=14&winggene=42&wings=15&auth=c6e2ee3d94bf2c3df7d1f7a7ac59a120996afdfc&dummyext=prev.png[/img][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/scrying/predict?breed=1&gender=0&age=1&bodygene=42&body=175&winggene=42&wings=15&tertgene=14&tert=107&element=3&eyetype=1][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=175&bodygene=42&breed=1&element=3&eyetype=1&gender=0&tert=107&tertgene=14&winggene=42&wings=15&auth=07b463d4603b9460266734431ac82b2cec45b5e3&dummyext=prev.png[/img][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/scrying/predict?breed=1&gender=0&age=1&bodygene=42&body=15&winggene=42&wings=15&tertgene=14&tert=73&element=3&eyetype=13][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=15&bodygene=42&breed=1&element=3&eyetype=13&gender=0&tert=73&tertgene=14&winggene=42&wings=15&auth=4bffe8c7b696f0de0d3c24f1098aa6c14f742f13&dummyext=prev.png[/img][/url] i really like them all! i'm definitely gonna keep the last one. rng named him stratus! (i'm gonna keep his dad too, at least for a bit longer; he's really cool too.) ----- so here's who i started and ended with!: dfoa [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=134&bodygene=5&breed=5&element=4&eyetype=1&gender=0&tert=156&tertgene=18&winggene=19&wings=41&auth=fc497726488fc69cf0a9c78180f0562707ca7be8&dummyext=prev.png[/img] to stratus [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=15&bodygene=42&breed=1&element=3&eyetype=13&gender=0&tert=73&tertgene=14&winggene=42&wings=15&auth=4bffe8c7b696f0de0d3c24f1098aa6c14f742f13&dummyext=prev.png[/img] i'd say this was definitely a success, especially for my first challenge! [/center]

Decided to try the challenge myself, starting with these parents: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/78316214][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/783163/78316214_350.png[/img][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/83578627][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/835787/83578627_350.png[/img][/url] I'm going to impose the restriction on myself that no dragon I buy of the AH as a mate for this project can cost more than 10 kt/g. Wish me luck.

Two eggs!

@Halkiierid -- Those are some delightfully ugly founders... I love them! I'd love to see an update when their nest hatches. Best of luck on your journey!! c:
