Designs
I am open to feedback on any designs that have not been finalized yet! If a design has been finalized, I’ve likely already put in work to hunt down mates in the AH and maybe even have started breeding, so will be extremely
reluctant to modify it at this point.
About the Designs
Breeds
All designs are modern breeds, to increase my pool of usable dragons.
Each character is a different breed. The 5 modern breeds I didn't end up using: Bogsneak, Guardian, Obelisk, Tundra, Snapper.
Clothing
Genetics is the main thing for me. I don’t really dress up my dragons, and honestly the Dressing Room & all the apparel/skin/accent choices is all a little overwhelming to me. Clothing colors just get absorbed into the character’s general color palette when I make my designs; you’ll see that the secondary gene color is often a main clothing color. I don’t plan to dress up these dragons much, if at all.
Naming Schemes
Each character has two associated naming themes: one for dragons that are used in a breeding pair, and one for offspring that I end up exalting.
E.g. I breed dragons A and B together and get offspring C, Y, and Z. Offspring C helps my breeding project, so I later breed it with a new dragon D. Y & Z are not useful for the breeding project, and I don't succeed in selling them. Then dragons A, B, C, and D will use name theme 1, and dragons Y & Z will use name theme 2.
(Tbh I don't know why this is the naming system I set up back in 2018, but it's what I did for Yuzu & Ruri, so it's what I will continue doing for the remaining 8!)

I've worked on the Yuri design a lot and just can't get something I'm super satisfied with
His purple is hard to match, and the FR colors that are closest to his purple & pink don't look that good together. Some alternative designs:
Yuri2
Yuri3
Yuri4
Yuri5
Yuri6
I'll likely just end up going with the design at the top - I've done a lot of fiddling already and don't think I'll be able to get anything I'm happier with.
Dragons I Breed Naming Theme: Names of carrion flowers or carnivorous plants (e.g Cobraplant)
Dragons I Exalt Naming Theme: Neurotoxins (e.g. Atropine)

poison & plant vibe.

Honestly, I might prefer him without a tert, or maybe a purple underbelly?
Yuto - basic tert

Some older designs from 2018:

I am very much struggling with Yuya's design
His red hair & orange shirt don't work together. Yellow ties together his red & green really nicely, but he doesn't actually have much yellow in his color palette. I'm also finding hard to balance channeling his performer/entertainer vibe without making his design too over-the-top.
Many (failed) attempts:
Yuya2
Yuya3
Yuya4
Yuya5
Yuya6
Dragons I Breed Naming Theme: ???
Dragons I Exalt Naming Theme: ???
