Good update, with a designated space for it to keep everything clean hopefully it’ll incentivize more recolors of existing apparel, something I wish staff would do more often. On top of letting festival apparel having more then one recolor that’s not attached to Joxar, which takes a while to get to and is limited.

Bit of a reminder for anyone planning to distribute cheap copies of the familiar at the base 250g price to do it via the forums if you care about them getting to people who actually want them. If you mass list on the AH that is a lawless land and one person might snap them all up to resell.

i had a dream last night that the cirrus finally released, but staff had locked some people out of just buying the scrolls.

"since you guys complained, we put your scrolls in the forbidden portal. good luck!"

and people had to go and stay there/fight however many battles to finally unlock the ability to buy the cirrus scrolls.

Designing the Everlux for Flight Rising

In November of 2024 Flight Rising released the Everlux dragon breed.

Designing a new dragon for Flight Rising is always an interesting challenge. The dragons need too be unique, fit into a square, and have enough surface area across both their bodies and wings for separate patterns (genes) to go into both. This breed originated from the Light Flight, and we wanted to explore a more alien dragon design. I came up with several concepts for the breed, but a heavy-set caterpillar inspired dragon is the direction we ended up going in.

Before proceeding with a final, I decided to do some studies from reference to learn a bit more about caterpillar anatomy and how their segmented, soft bodies worked. I did several studies from photographs of monarch butterfly caterpillars. I took the opportunity to draw in my sketchbook. Up until this past year, I have not been doing a lot of practice studies, and since picking up the habit, I’ve found that I observe more carefully and learn more by drawing on paper. With digital art, it is very easy to cut, move, and warp drawings after the fact. With paper, I was required pay attention to get the proportions as accurate as possible from the get-go, and I think it helped me to draw more mindfully.

With some practice under my belt, I proceeded to tighter drawings that fit the Flight Rising dragon style and template requirements.

And here are the final templates used for the game! Between the drawing and final stage, the FR art team provided helpful feedback on the hatchling. It was determined that the pulled up leg was busy and read poorly, so it was streamlined for the final. Getting an additional pair of eyes on something is always a good idea!

apologies if this is clearly indicated somewhere! but i poked around a bit and didn't see anything--do you have any pearl cerdae? and if so what is Their Deal?

I haven't had proper pearl cerdae since my brightmyth account! but I've been thinking about them a lot since the cirrus release. I'm going to be revamping the two cerdae siblings my friend gave me and giving each of them an ancient counterpart :)

kosmet ('forest king') is an extremely large, extremely reclusive ancient cerdae deep in the labyrinth whose intents are uncertain. salbaa ('death bloom') has had her bones and musculature almost entirely replaced by vegetation. she's got massive holes all over her body you can see flowers blooming through. she's the result of a undergoing a near-death experience after becoming a cerdae. under too much stress, the plant overcompensated and replacing too much of her body.

(read about pearl cerdae here)

kosmet is the one I drew earlier today. he's going to be involved with a researcher of some sort. salbaa is possibly worshipped as a semi-deity by a few remote Gladebough villages

New Girin dragon fucks and I really hope it marks a bit of a turning point where they’re willing to have a bit more fun with the secondary. If these guys can have what they have as their secondary then I feel like a lot of previously discussed wingless ancients where they don’t have any even remotely winglike appendages are possible.

All the badges I did for Water's Wavecrest push ^^ The theme was "What Lurks Below" and I got carried away a bit with the idea of horror movie tickets for water related monsters. We've got the Kraken, Nessie, and Megladon (or just Great White, since they're commonly the shark used).

They're able to be purchased till the end of Wavecrest, so Sunday, May 4th, 6:00 FRT they're gone! Please don't use them unless you've purchased them, thanks!
