Suggestions

Might be late to this, but I would like to see parallel ancient line breakers on other ancients, such as; Aether Wintercoat, Abberation Skeletal, or Undertide Angler, to name a few.

[quote name="LuckyKitty" date="2023-03-24 23:10:24" ] Tertiary for Aether dragons, inspired by the glow worm! [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/qAqBhmK.jpg[/img][/center] I love the idea of glowing tails on the Aethers, but the current gene [b]Glowtail[/b] just doesn't do it for me. It takes up the whole tail, which feels really weird when there's a nice little bulb at the end that would be perfect for those little glowy tips on the end of an actual glowworm. A tertiary that only covers a tiny spot would be boring, though, so I decided to take a play from the real-life glow-worm's playbook and include the glowing bars some species have across their bodies! [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/rPhOrVe.jpg[/img][/center] So here's what I ended up with. Behold, [b]Glowbug[/b]![center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Vj9UYXz.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/alfiJhk.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/LtDXrhN.png[/img][/center] Comparison of our current Glowtail with the proposed Glowbug [img]https://i.imgur.com/AOL7W2h.png[/img] [/quote] Massive support, I really like this. Current glowtail takes up so much of the tail that I'm honestly not the biggest fan of it on most aethers. I love how subtle the mockups are--they're exactly what I want from a glowing gene. My only comment would that I think it'd be neat to have a few glowing dots on the wings as well.

AETHERS NEED SHARDFLANK.

I mean it looks like crystals sticking out of the dragon. It would fit Aethers to a T.

Here's an edited mockup with the dots on the wings like you suggested: [img]https://i.imgur.com/tgpcss9.png[/img]

All about the Aether terts - I wish I could provide you with a mock-up of the second thing, I cannot. Koi, please. Must.... maximize.... fluffy cloudness...!! [emoji=nocturne love size=1] So, this other one is a rather more silly idea, and I am unsure how plausible, but it keeps dancing on my brain since Aether release, Something like Banescale Porcupine, except..... You know the little upright feathers on top a peacock's head which make up the crest/crown? Those, but all the way along the Aether, from a fan on the head all the way to, and on the end of (similar to Monarch here) the tail. Color - They could use Peacock or Ribbon/eel color schemes, or go 'full gem gene' and something more like Iridescent/Shimmer, but I am not locked into this so long as they are not all basically monochromatic. Size - At [i]least[/i] as long as the Aether's existing basic spines, or like Stinger spines, would be good, but as long as they are not [i]tiny[/i] like Spines tertiary tends look on other breeds...... [i](I know Imp Spines are partly hidden in the mane, and Wildclaw has some respectable ones on the head area, but hopefully you know what I mean here is "not something so small as to have Spines' distinction of being a gene which helps hide an unflattering tert color in plain sight".)[/i]...... I am flexible on this part. [emoji=nocturne laughing size=1][emoji=nocturne love size=1] Additional visual effects - As much as I do like Monarch, I would rather [i]not [/i]have this one affect the wings in a similar way (except possibly at the very tips, swallowtail butterfly-style). Other than that, I am open to suggestions here. (sleepy typo fixed) (returned to make a small clarification and give credit where due - Spines tertiary [i]on Aether dragons[/i] is of a size I like! I was trying to say 'the size it is on almost so many other breeds would be too small for this' and that was not what emerged, and was specifically avoiding using it as a 'good size' example on Aether because Spines size on other breeds, a more familiar frame of reference, does not tend to look much like what I had in mind. Fixed that above.)

Can you please do Tertiary Gene: Blossom (Aether) ? I think it would look cool. I'll see if I can draw up a starting point. Thank you!
