edited to add: for dragons with feet on the ground (snapper, obelisk F, guardian, etm) consider the attachment to shoulder/side with a very cool and very real neck strap used for bass clarinet that is also used for soprano clarinet (the one shown above)

a pigeon apparel set!!! similar to the chicken set. theres the typical blue bar "wild type", then ash red/brown versions of that. for the re-use of lines, you could also add a recessive red pigeon. some fancy breeds, you could add ones like indian fantails, old german owls, giant runts, jacobins, pouters, frillbacks, and modenas

[quote name="Bluebrine" date="2020-07-04 07:40:17" ] Hello everyone! I'm here to suggest something ([url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/sug/2604519]in the Official™ thread this time[/url]) that's been on my mind since I joined way back in 2013- actual, practical aquatic apparel! As a long time player and ocean-aficionado, I've always wanted some apparel that suits a dragon clan that actually lives their lives underwater. Besides the once-a-year festival apparel, turns out there actually isn't too much on-site apparel that works for a marine lifestyle. Given that many players have dragons that live either in or around Sornieth's waters, it seems a bit of a shame to not include some options for them. This suggestion is not specifically for the water flight of course- every single region on the map touches a body of water after all! As such, there are lots of players who would like some gear that suits their characters' lifestyles and professions. Fishermen, sailors, beachcombers, dockworkers... there are so many good ideas for apparel sets here! I know myself and many others have expressed some desire to actually dress our dragons in practical, environmentally-fitting apparel- so I've drawn out a few of my ideas to show! Below are sets of mock-ups, divided into groups of 6 for length's sake (just concept sketches- open in new tab to see full size). I'll likely be sketching out more designs in the future as well. ----- [img]https://i.imgur.com/fftY9sv.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ByjjqVc.png[/img] ----- The designs above are described as follows (left to right, top to bottom): [LIST] [*] Fisherman's gear. Apparel like this could contain useful fishing equipment (rods, lures, nets, tackle-boxes, etc.) as well as some simple accessories. Also tagging along are some decidedly less helpful seagull companions hoping for a snack or two! (ex: [url=https://image.shutterstock.com/z/stock-photo-antique-fishing-rods-on-a-wooden-wall-with-a-wicker-fishing-basket-and-rope-38256859.jpg]x[/url], [url=http://www.theonlinefisherman.com/images/stories/Gary_Poyssick_Articles/antique-tackle/antique-fly-rod.jpg]x[/url], [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/82/00/ee/8200ee40494e84e2548175137ab02859.jpg]x[/url]) [*] Harbor guide's guise. Apparel like this could include items like boat oars, tendrils of seaweed, anchor accessories, and some old-timey oil lanterns strung along the wings (for that eerie, foggy, 'Shadow-Over-Innsmouth' vibe. Who doesn't love dockyard specters?). Also included could be a covering of barnacles across the dragon's hide. (ex: [url=https://image.isu.pub/130412144749-86e5adac645a4a339a777df7c5652588/jpg/page_1.jpg]x[/url], [url=https://www.advancedsciencenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/lamp.png]x[/url], [url=https://i2.wp.com/fineartamerica.com/images-medium/princes-dock-hull-john-atkinson-grimshaw.jpg]x[/url]) [*] Seashell shaman's set. Apparel like this could include strings of beaded shells and pearls, along with flowing fabric for that mysterious wizard/ beachcomber aesthetic. Also included is an ammonite & driftwood staff worn at the hip, and some plated scallop leg coverings! (ex: [url=https://i.imgur.com/2jMNbFa.jpg]x[/url], [url=https://previews.123rf.com/images/slallison/slallison0911/slallison091100014/5826602-scallop-shells-arranged-in-an-overlapping-pattern.jpg]x[/url], [url=https://img01.cp.aliimg.com/imgextra/i1/64382892/TB2iS3XlVXXXXclXXXXXXXXXXXX_!!64382892.jpg]x[/url]) [*] Leviathan hunter's armor. Apparel like this could include bone-plate armor from various aquatic beasts (sea-serpents, whales, etc.), but for this set, I took inspiration from prehistoric fish called placoderms (specifically [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkleosteus]dunkleosteus[/url]). Worn metal fastenings and rope could complete the weathered mariner look going on here. Also included could be a sort of harpoon or harpoon gun, as was common for whalers in the 17th-18th centuries (ex: [url=https://i.imgur.com/RMtbCzY.jpg]x[/url]). Traditional harpoon weapons certainly fit the '1920 or below' technology level on Sornieth. If the industrial vibe isn't what the Flight Rising artistic design is going for, then older hand-held harpoons work too (ex: [url=https://i.imgur.com/ZquZ2LG.png]x[/url]). [*] Shark-tooth scavenger's set. Apparel like this could include shark-tooth bound jewelry and sinew wraps, which is a fairly typical look for many real-world cultures associated with the sea (ex: [url=https://i.imgur.com/Cas77uA.jpg]x[/url]). Serrated knives and tools made from shed teeth could also be used- even entire shark jaws slung around the dragon's neck to make for some extra flair! [*] Poison-spine gatherer's tools. Apparel like this could include armor coverings made of sharp bones and spines (specifically, those like the 'mirage puffer spines' & 'daydreamer's spines' items below). Also included in this set could be some tools for a shallow-water scavenger, like a hooked hunting spear and some useful containers for the dragon's finds! [item=mirage puffer spines] [item=daydreamer's spines] [/LIST] ----- [img]https://i.imgur.com/bNgOlZA.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/6uWVYTr.png[/img] ----- The designs above are described as follows (left to right, top to bottom): [LIST] [*] Pearl-catcher's collection. Apparel like this could contain various strings and hanging ornaments made of pearls and twine. The sizes could range from those of natural oysters, to [i]really[/i] big oysters, to that's-definitely-just-a-PC's-pearl. Also included could be some flowy sashes or fabric for that authentic oracle look. [*] Reef-hide coral. Apparel like this could include arching coral colonies growing from the dragon's body, forming a self-contained reef ecosystem. A branching crown, mantle, limb + hip covers, and wing pieces could complete the set. The type of coral could vary, but I used the site's 'dragonhorn' & 'staghorn' corals. (ex: [url=https://media.vam.ac.uk/media/thira/collection_images/2006AX/2006AX6989.jpg]x[/url], [url=https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/mI72I725rQgojjuZGmJYEA0-QdMN9SY4EeC-xVyIRJhyzaIRnwXfKXL7xgX1EsbMUzEMkQSCFiDrSHuYPJeE42CpSh6oDWwEOrbbPqWo1ec5zfZAx1WkLwc2HxHJhZ9J8Py5x4x5mxo]x[/url]) [item=dragonhorn coral] [item=staghorn coral] [*] Dead eel's regalia. Apparel like this could contain sharpened fish bones and rope, tied together to form an intimidating mask and adornments. To complete the deep-sea wyrm look, some moray eel companions could slink and slither around the dragon's form. (ex. [url=https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nK5xPLntED8/maxresdefault.jpg]x[/url], [url=https://www.naturepl.com/cache/pcache2/01581330.jpg]x[/url]) [*] Kelp forest keepers. Apparel like this could include large swaths of sea weed or kelp, trailing along the dragon's body and wings. This style could suit not only those within the saltwater kelp forests, but also eerie kelpies or riverfolk emerging from the freshwaters. Also included in the set could be some playful otter companions! (ex: [url=https://condorexpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Orcinus-orca-kelping-Macrocystis-2016-09-13-SB-Channel-e-007-891x594.jpg]x[/url], [url=https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/humpback-whale-pectoral-fin-entangled-in-kelp-picture-id466958998]x[/url], [url=https://aquarium.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_5584-1-1024x683.jpg]x[/url]) [*] Seaspray explorer's set. Apparel like this could include nautical navigation tools, such as compasses, sextants, telescopes, and maps carried on the dragon. Bundles of rough sailing fabric could be hoisted on the wings and on clothes- even covering the face in a bandana. Sea-worn leather could form various belts and straps on the clothing, along with sturdy rope. A wristwatch could be sewn into this leather arm wrap, giving dragons a way to check the time easily! Finally, a seabird companion tags along for the ride (drawn here as a [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skua]skua[/url], though a petrel or albatross works too). (ex: [url=https://blog.assets.triviagenius.com/2019/07/iStock-616897190.jpg]x[/url], [url=https://img5.goodfon.com/wallpaper/nbig/7/1d/morskie-sredstva-navigatsii-kompass-starye-karty-kanat-nauti.jpg]x[/url], [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0b/75/61/0b756163e7bd153f4d673bf96763bb6a.jpg]x[/url]) [*] Wavebreak followers. Apparel like this could include........well, some friendly dolphin companions tagging along with your dragon through the sea! (This [i]would[/i] have been the set for both the cetacean companions AND whalebone scrimshaw apparel, but [i]some[/i] artist got lazy. So. That'll get done... eventually.) [/LIST] ----- ... aaand that's all I've got done for now! If the inspiration strikes, I'll be drawing more designs in the future too! Some ideas so far from good suggestions in this thread and elsewhere: [LIST] [*] Dockyard/ laborer apparel. Utilitarian cloth + tools for packing, hauling, and shipping cargo. Large crossover with terrestrial cultures. Uses gaff pole for snagging ropes and fish (also as a distanced weapon, ex. [url=https://i.imgur.com/bLEx3NY.jpg]dishonored[/url]).
