No one will ever see this because I never use the forums. Haha!
@Silo I think it has the best potential on more naturally colored Gaos, though I've seen many variations that I personally love. I think the F pose does it better, the mouth part looks a little strange on the M pose to me, but it's not bad [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=52&bodygene=39&breed=17&element=10&eyetype=1&gender=1&tert=51&tertgene=27&winggene=174&wings=143&auth=3118ab32b819866771cef557490400f0dd72c619&dummyext=prev.png[/img] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=36&bodygene=171&breed=17&element=11&eyetype=2&gender=0&tert=70&tertgene=27&winggene=32&wings=88&auth=edcb3238cfb2969bc0a768255773a4418eb3af26&dummyext=prev.png[/img] If you don't mind me asking, what color combo is that Veilspun omg??

@MissAri Oh my word, I NEED those cryastal dragons! Beautiful gene combo! Any plans to breed them in the future? I think G1 culture does effect things, though for how much is probably different for most individuals. If someone doesn't care for G1s, I don't think it would effect them much. 90% of my dragons are G1s but I don't collect like others do. A lot of my G1s were bargin finds of the AH at cheap, cheap prices. Like <20g cheap. I just look for dragons with interesting color combos and find a gene plan that works with them. No set plan usually. Random XYZs with surprising results are what keep me playing and collecting dragons at this point. I love just sitting and sorting through the cheap G1s on the AH and scrying anything that catches my eye. Like this guy: [center][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=10&bodygene=0&breed=3&element=2&eyetype=4&gender=0&tert=44&tertgene=5&winggene=0&wings=113&auth=a328be9c1c036b5a7703e8a056ef9a4cec380069&dummyext=prev.png[/img][/center] I almost passed him by and I imagine plenty of others did too. He's not terrible colorwise, but not especially exciting either. But then you fiddle and realise you can do THIS: [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/76020013][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/760201/76020013_350.png[/img][/url][/center] I do not like Ghost, but this is one of my few exceptions for this gene. I don't know why, but the colors just work for me. And getting that added surprise pop of red to match the eyes was super satisfying!
