Probably the best example of “I made it work” are my gene projects because they start out all basic and I have to figure out which genes and clothing work with those colors.

I also like how I took advantage of a festival skin for this dragon.

Mostly a scry at the moment, whoops..... but this fella Kukuq is splash/cinnamon/beige! Poor guy is so gross under all the apparel :)<3
super proud of this g1, i love him and this was his third scatter where i was happy with scry options... when he hatched he was white primary, and i forget which shades of blue and red for secondary and tert, i wanted to scatter bc i've never bothered to do that before. the other scatters were totally unworkable and i was determined to keep him at that point. never would have thought these would work out nicely

and this guy is a g1 bronze/sand/spearmint i got off the AH for like 6g! he still needs harlequin and dark eyes which tie it all together but i lack the gems for that

So one of my favorite "make it work" dragons has a skin on, so you'll be getting her morphology because I put in quite a lot of work for her.
First is one of my oldest dragons, where her mother was one of the first 3 hatchlings I ever had: Taluken! Taluken's gone through a few scatterscrolls because I couldn't stand how her original colors were. This version has lasted for a while because the colors were pretty neat, even if they didn't wholly work well together. She got a whole new set of genes recently, and I think this is my favorite yet!

Next is Matus! He started as a nocturne I hatched from the 2016 NotN event, and ohhhhh boy that grape tertiary! I realized the highlight on the nudibranch gene matched one of the highlights for the trail gene, and made the grape look less out of place!

And lastly, we have my random pro-gen male, Hypsii! There's something about the tertiary colors that always whack me in the face... Firebreather ended up being the only tertiary I liked, especially after I changed up his last set of genes. I think he looks like a pretty handsome fellow!

Oh my, this is like my favorite thing to do with gen1's!! :oc

Probably my proudest take on this idea! I hatched this gen1 with Olive/Watermelon/Thicket and thought 'yuck' and then I thought 'what a chaotic queen, i love her'

Then I have this plague rep with Spearmint/Moss/Crimson! Please don't look at her without her clothes cause she is Ugly™ without 'em! But with 'em, she's a stunning pestilence princess!

Curio! Sunset/Goldenrod/Caribbean-- mostly saved by her outfit.

Abtin! Lionfish does add a splash of aqua that makes him not-so matchy, but he's also saved by his outfit. He's Sanddollar/Amber/Gold.

Lastly, Melska! Her genes blend extremely well-- even thought her colors are extremely different. Spring/Dust/Blackberry!

really embraced the "suspicious potion from a swamp" vibe with my boy Vitals, and even though it's a little odd looking, I think it suits him nicely!

Liobhan was not the most obvious of beauties at first, but some new genes made her one of my favourites.

Griancloch was a dragon I adopted on the promise never to exalt them - and why would I ever want to? She's worn many different genes but I love how Mulberry and Sunshine complement each other.

Criostalta is my favorite Dusthide - her colours play together so nicely (if expensively) and that accent just made her perfect!

A surprise accent color can really come in clutch.
