Posted March 20, 2013 Okay. I made a scan of the wind one the other day, but I didn't get to upload it yet. I've made some edits, and more random egg sketch ideas, so I'll rescan it. I can't really think of a nice fire dragon pose, so I've got lots of random outline sketches for that, and I haven't started on the water yet. Earth just has legs, air has nothing, fire will have both legs and wings, and water will have just wings (more like flippers). Share this post Link to post
Posted March 21, 2013 Maybe air should have no legs - just wings while water should have no feet or wings -flippers. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 21, 2013 For the Fire pose, how about it doing sort of a half rear (like a horse) with a long curve in its neck and head down with flames coming out its mouth and tail curving out and up toward it back and wings semi folded? Share this post Link to post

Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) That'd be awesome, Infernette! Thanks! And thanks for the idea, Jedi. I shall try that. Mom decided that I lied to her last night and hadn't taken an hour long shower (instead I just stood there in the bathroom wasting water for an hour and stuck a random damp towel in the laundry, magically getting my hair all wet and smelling like mint lavender...) so she took my computer. I don't know if she'll give it back to me or not, but either way I'm going to take another shower when I get home because then either way, if she says I didn't take a shower recently that'll be a major lie. It seems she likes to convince herself that everything I say to her is a lie. Anyways, we're learning about depression in health and I realized I have just about all of the symptoms of major depression, and I've had them for a while. I hope I don't have depression, and I don't feel like I do, but from what we learned, it's most likely that I do. And finally, a list of some fun events that we'll surely be doing next year and for the rest of time if they're big hits- 1/1: New years 1/31 - 2/15: Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) 2/12: Mardi Gras 2/14: Valentines Day 3/14: Pie Day 3/17: St. Patty's Day 3/31: Easter 4/22: Earth Day 5/4: Star Wars Day ("May the Forth be with you.") 5/8: *Iris Day & No Socks Day 5/27: Faire begins (6 weeks (minus one day >)) 6/18: Panic Day 7/8: Faire ends 8/3: Watermelon Day 9/16: Collect Rocks Day 9/28: Ask A Stupid Question Day 10/5: Do Something Nice Day 10/28: Plush Anima Lover's Day 10/31: Halloween 11/29: Black Friday 12/1 - 12/25: Advent 12/25: Christmas Edited March 22, 2013 by StarSea Share this post Link to post
Posted March 21, 2013 So a typical western dragon? Any special sort of description with it Share this post Link to post
Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) I liked my original fire dragon that I drew quite some time ago, but I've lost the scan and sketch when my old computer went down so... It was up on it's back legs but leaning forward a bit. The wings where complete fire except for the arm that is usually there. It was looking over its shoulder between its wings. The wings where up a bit then folded over, so I know the head was about at the top of the wings. It also had a flaming mane instead of fur or spikes or anything like that. I really liked it, so I'm hoping I'll be able to find it, but if you can draw anything like that (I in no way expect it to even be close, but it would be amazing if it is), I'll love you forever!! I tried drawing a water one and it looks stupid... Like the derpiest dragon I've ever drawn. Worse than when I was a toddler trying to draw squiggles. I drew a fire dragon too and it isn't super, but it's not terrible. Wind dragon and the five thousand random eggs I drew with it... [EDIT]The S1 has like... five different horn stubs because I drew one set and looked at the S2 and adult and noticed they where off, so I moved them a bit. Sometimes it isn't that great to draw with pen. >u<[/EDIT] Awkward fire dragon. It looked a lot like that, but I don't think it had the ram horns. And it was in that one position I said. So yeah, I got mom to give me my computer back! But I've only got about two hours left before the internet will go off. EDIT: If you're wondering why I just randomly started drawing everything in pen, I found it's easier for me to do different shades with a pen than with a pencil. I also think it's a bit easier in general to use. Not to mention it's a lot easier to see on scans. Edited March 21, 2013 by StarSea Share this post Link to post
Posted March 21, 2013 So are you preferring lined or unlined paper? (Unlined will be longer, I have to get it from the art class ) Share this post Link to post

Posted March 21, 2013 Either paper is fine. As long as I can see it. If you like that lil' scratched out one, I can line it. I just didn't really like how the face looked. Share this post Link to post

And being a sufferer of depression myself I can tell you that I had no idea I had it either. I felt normal, nothing was wrong till I was told other wise. As for you mom she sounds like a control freak to me. Sorry but that's the way I see her. Love the holiday ideas. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) http://www.iaza.com/work/130322C/iaza13642588895100.jpg here is a bit of a 'rough' kind of idea sketch, is this good/ what you are looking for star ? Also depression is one heck of a thing to have. I hope you don't have it :C P.S. Like the watermelon day idea Also you might want to throw in some sort of summer event into that list, you currently really don't have one and have a space of around 3 months of nothing, and believe me it gets boring on sites without one for awhile Edited March 22, 2013 by Infernette Share this post Link to post

Star I love your Wind dragon a lot As for the egg I like the one on the right side above the S1 sprite (the one with the waves of air on it). I also agree there should be a Summer event of some kind.

Posted March 22, 2013 Okay, because I just looked through a 'holiday' list and they didn't have much of anything. I shall look for more summer ones. And dang Infernette! I love them!!! <3 Especially the adult! Share this post Link to post
Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Okies. How about it goes from the end of May to the beginning of July. I'm thinking about adding July 4th to the list, but not everyone is American... so I'm not sure what to do. Maybe I'll have a poll whenever I finish the forums on if we should celebrate 4th o' July or not. And I think that you all are going to LOVE Pie Day! > I've got a really awesome and funny idea for what to do that day. <3 It'll be so much fun to work with. I'm downloading backups of all of the files now, and I'm going to make a 'test' site purely for me to just test things out on like the coding and whatnot. Then if it works, all I've got to do is transfer the code section that I added to the files for the site. I can also test out themes and of the such that way too. I found a "Wacky Holidays" website, and I've got some fun ones for May. May 8th may be a pretty fun one too! Okay, here's our updated list of holidays- http://forums.dragcave.net/index.php?showt...dpost&p=7143723 Not all of them are going to be events done by the site, exactly, but some will be special releases, funny things done to the creatures onsite, etc. Iris day is stared because well, for one it overlaps another day. Two, I'm probably just gonna do something with a new theme or such. I didn't put in a full name for the Faire because I'm thinking maybe it'd be cool to have a different theme per year. Medieval can be the first theme. And since Medieval had castles, I can possibly make an isometric city. If I do this right, it could be a really awesome event! (I just wish I had some kind of bone-based animation technology to help me. ) Edited March 22, 2013 by StarSea Share this post Link to post
Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Yay! I love the Renaissance Faire!! ♥♥♥ *Scribbles out Wars and replaces it with Trek* Edited March 23, 2013 by Raikielia Share this post Link to post
Posted March 23, 2013 Nice, Rai! Well, I'm gonna keep going through all of this codingacademy stuff and when my internet is off, I'll be working on the sprites. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 23, 2013 O.o Star, what are you using for the "explore" system? If you're using a "search" system, with a very detailed scene, then it's going to take a LONG time. I found that out the hard way. >< Share this post Link to post
Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) What do you mean? You mean the Map? And I'm not sure what's up with the map page, or the user pages, but I'm gonna have to fix those sooner or later. Eventually I'm going to edit all of the themes so they're based off of the Green theme (since it works the best with all of the HTML codes). Speaking of something I don't know, I just now noticed that version 1.3.3 is out, so I'll be downloading backups of the files and the databases and then installing the version 1.3.3 And with the update, BREEDING WILL BE RELEASED!!! Edited March 23, 2013 by StarSea Share this post Link to post
Posted March 23, 2013 1.3.3 allows for hybrids!!! Also Star, I was wondering, were you going to implement egg limits so you can't have more than X amount? Share this post Link to post
Posted March 24, 2013 Star Sea, You were making an exploration system right? What kind are you using? Are you using a system where you can "search" for the adopt, or are you using one that requires you to complete certain tasks? Here's an example of a search: caterpillarcave.x10.mx/pages.php?page=caque-sugar Share this post Link to post
Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Yes, I was gonna try to. And then once I do, I'd set it so that users can have unlimited (well, limited to like... 30 so there isn't somebody with a thousand... ) holidays. I'm trying read the update blog, but my stepsister keeps distracting me with karaoke like Eye of the Tiger and Iris. Ahh. Well, I was gonna have some be quests where you complete certain tasks and some where you had to search around. Oh yeah, that will take a long time. The multi-links on an image may also take a while if you want to make it almost perfect too, because you'll need tons of different points.
