Id love a modern tertiary that is exactly crystal/facet but only on the areas effected by glimmer/underbelly to match with crystal and facet.

Its already mostly done, given crystal covers the underbelly in every color. No new artwork needed, simply rework what already exists/pop crystal onto a mask over glimmer or underbelly and bam! (No idea if it would really be that easy as adjustments would have to be made, but I think its less work than a new gene from scratch).

Could be called Polish, or possibly Geode.

Unrelated but I really like that lineart/backlight tert 5inthemorning suggested above! Thats brilliant!

I know Veilspun has branch, but I have been [i]vying[/i] for some sort of foliage-based tert for Gaoler horns. It's mostly because I can't apply this: [item=Flowering Gladeboughs] To Gaolers, even though I'd love some sort of tree-like decor for the horns, and Blossom, while nice, looks less genetic and more like they rolled in a field of weirdly-specific flowers. I can't be the only person who thinks Gaoler horns already look like branches!

banescales need capsule because [item=vigorous goblet] and [item=dancing chalice]

[quote name="5inthemorning" date="2021-01-16 12:21:58" ] i was brainstorming subtle line-break modern tertiary ideas a la firefly and spines when i came up with this - could possibly call it glow, backlight, aura, undertone...? some mockups with and without apparel included so the interaction can be seen :) i think it works well! EDIT: the colors are fuchsia, cyan, blush, and peacock [columns][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/131b49b327365dd329f31f837049f470/2fb559c730bdd55b-6b/s400x600/20d356d0f57465e1b6ff1ac1c2ca8d6a5a920551.png[/img][nextcol][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/507388f5ca9d6bcc83466441eaeae94d/2fb559c730bdd55b-4b/s400x600/39f8e67a18a167da822124881674dd202156f75f.png[/img][/columns] [columns][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/d345a311e3766d4ce3e4bafe46c30734/2fb559c730bdd55b-a8/s400x600/45a3263c3f88c49007fb56478eb695e29d119dde.png[/img][nextcol][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/ca2419cb912428ad550580092a72cb6c/2fb559c730bdd55b-5c/s400x600/36303938bd369b9734fc6e1df6f017093c71a199.png[/img][/columns] [columns][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/a54ce482122854d4ad9076d7e60f6332/2fb559c730bdd55b-42/s400x600/801093919533bcdc4cf858363bf8147d8b74d0c0.png[/img][nextcol][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/e995f71dba396d3a330ffe65d090a93f/2fb559c730bdd55b-e3/s400x600/1cf67fad48fb93ecd083c3affa836ee0be51d95a.png[/img][/columns] [columns][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/760d87553ee465b55ac6948cf5003532/2fb559c730bdd55b-2e/s400x600/d89b48d7e9c11bd364e4e33ddefd7681c8de2769.png[/img][nextcol][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/c9d1dcd130d28ccafd2a2cd949db69cd/2fb559c730bdd55b-f4/s400x600/927d428e08b05c15f5878c36420bc2ca20b33a77.png[/img][/columns] [/quote] another excellent suggestion that i fully support. it would look so good on people’s vapourwave/cyberpunk dragons, and would be a nice tert saver!

Posted these ideas elsewhere but thought I'd better plop them where they can be more easily seen/discussed.

Banescale Tertiary ideas:

Any horn gene. The other ancients have horn-changing genes so banes should hop in on the fun because I think they're cool.

Flaps (my horn gene proposal): give them extra wings along their body similar to the one's they have on their wings already that are at their elbows, but on their faces, legs and all along their bodies. Make them look like spiky toxic babies >:)
Definitely introduce accent colours in some way, maybe like little stained glass decorations (I proposed a prim/sec stained glass gene in the primary suggestion forum, but if that doesn't work then this as a stained glass gene would look great instead)

Armor plating: These bad bois are from fire, they should be able to get suited up! Armor all along back, on legs or shin/ankles, shoulders and the front of the wing, where their hand should be. Rendered two-tones, one main colour in middle, one accent colour around the edge, in diamonds or thereabouts.

I'm just here to beg for the Blep teritary.

So many of us want it so badly.
It needn't break the line art any more than Spines does.

Pose already shows the tongue? Color it.
Pose doesn't? Add a little one.
Matching nails / claws.
Matching inner ears / etc.

Do it for the progens. Do it for the G1s. Do the blep. We beg for blep. Take our money, please.

[quote name="WickedPixie" date="2020-10-30 13:16:56" ] I don't have a specific gene to recommend but I'd just really love having more terts that show accent colors. Peacock and filigree do this but we have very few genes that do and it's really a shame because the accent colors can sometimes save a whole color set on a dragon but theyre hidden away [/quote] I agree with this, filigree and peacock with capsule and opal a close second, are the only consistent genes that show accents. A lot of them don't show large amounts or don't spread it across all of the dragons body so sometimes it can be really frustrating.

So here's an idea... how about a piebald/paint type gene called Splotch? Just big patches of tertiary colors, so it looks like the dragon jumped into a puddle of paint?

Siamese!

It would just add some gradients to the feet, tail, wingtips, face, and ears/horns/fins, similar to the patterning of siamese cats!

It'd be a really nice gene for folks who don't really like the oddly specific genes, like Filigree, Gembond, Runes, Circuit, etc. Just a simple, neutral, works-with-any-vibe kinda gene!

I might make a mockup in a bit.

*exhales* A flora-based tert for Banescales. Gaolers have Blossom and Veilspuns have Branches and Thorns. My suggestion is not to copy this exactly, but perhaps a line-breaking tert for Banescales that's flowering vines. This, IMO, would increase Banescale popularity which would be a boon to the economy; I don't care for Banes much as things stand right now (I really, really wanted to like them) but I would go NUTS if they had flowering vines, especially ones that used the accent colors with the terts. This would save a lot of bad terts, too.
