Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) I'm so sorry about the influence fail, Raga. Was there a certain pairing you had in mind that required your Prize to be female? Now I hope Silva keeps her influence... if she ends up male I'll live (and love breeding him to Rosebuds and Mistletoes), but I *think* of her as, well, a HER. C'mon, Silva, gender already!!! *crosses fingers* Edit: Phew!!! And, thanks for the help EscapistLore! Edited February 5, 2015 by jerusha Share this post Link to post

Posted February 5, 2015 I really ought'a make some kind of sig badge for Droog, but--well, for now, I'll just leave the icon I have. 8'U Should probably put a more visible link to him in my signature, though. I want to get him a lot of clicks. Sorry to hear about the gendering thing, though. 8< Hopefully the breeding results make up for it at the very least. Hey Zactura. How's this for a badge? I know DD is hatched now but I couldn't resist the egg-shaped head. Plus playing card. And I wonder if the owner of Casey is also a Homestuck fan... Share this post Link to post

Posted February 5, 2015 I shouldn't be that upset, but I honestly am. It's like even when I win, I lose. (Real life has been really tough lately, so I actually needed something to cheer me up. Not happening.) Oh, ouch. That would be quite crushing. Congrats on all the influence successes, though! Share this post Link to post
Posted February 5, 2015 Yslari went male as we were hoping! ^.^ Now to make a banner for Casus and I.. Already got it planned out, just need to make it now. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 5, 2015 For what it's worth, I pm'ed TJ, but no answer as of yet. I'm expecting him to say nothing can be changed. In which case, I'm not sure what I am planning to do with this dragon. Currently, nothing since the even the code name is the wrong gender and any planned pairings are now scuttled.

Posted February 5, 2015 I really wish you luck with this... that TJ will change the gender for you Share this post Link to post

Hmm, well, I tried googling "raga" and learned it is a kind of Indian music. So if you run with that definition, it wouldn't need to be inherently feminine. Another possibility, if Raga is your name and you are female, is that you could call him "Raga's [something]." The silver tinsel Dawn's Silver Medal is actually a male, even though Dawn is a woman's name. You still have some options. :-) *looks at the code* RagaD could be Raga's Dragon, for example, or Raga's Delight, or Raga's Darn Male. ;-D Edited February 5, 2015 by tjekan Share this post Link to post

Posted February 5, 2015 Lol I like Raga's Darn Male That's really cute, actually! I'd definitely wanna make a lineage from a dragon named that. So, I finally made the signature for Casus and I. Any thoughts? I did it on my tablet, so it could be better.. Share this post Link to post

I did it on my tablet, so it could be better.. I'm hoping that RagaD is fogged because TJ is going to fix the gender! As for your badge, it's good ^^ The only thing I'd change is to drop the size of the tinsel back down to original size - enlarging pixel sprites blurs them a bit. Other than that though Share this post Link to post

Other than that though Oh, I hope so! That'd be wonderful. Hmm. Any better? *blinks* I agree, not enlarging the sprite makes it prettier.. My friend keeps laughing at me for being so excited over Yslari.. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Haha I'm over-excited too. I was harassing my brother over facebook to help me get views Then another user bombed me with views (over 7000 UV ) so I can stop. I think he's rather relieved! I'd tuck Yslari up under the words more, and then crop the left side in - kinda like so: but obviously yours will look better with access to the layers and such (also do tell me to bog off if you don't want the criticism ^^) Edit: Hmm, I'd move the map to the left as well if you crop, because the blue water is a nicer edge Edited February 5, 2015 by Prince_Xanthius Share this post Link to post
Posted February 5, 2015 Five days left here too, I'm anticipating the first breeding attempt. PLEASE. DON'T. REFUSE. I'd love for a successful breed on the first try but seeing how appallingly some prizes have bred I shouldn't really get my hopes up :'D Share this post Link to post
Posted February 5, 2015 I'm waiting here impatiently, and wondering whether I should make a thing for my prize for my sig. I'm ... artistically challenged. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 5, 2015 This shall be my first breeding during Val week. <3 Share this post Link to post
Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) I'm waiting here impatiently, and wondering whether I should make a thing for my prize for my sig. I'm ... artistically challenged. Yours would probably quite easy to photoshop a simple one if all you wanted was one of those symbols from the book covers + name + dragon +/- quote/description? I could probably do it 10-15 min if you pick a symbol for me? Edit: Freddy, that's lovely!! Edited February 5, 2015 by Prince_Xanthius Share this post Link to post

As for your badge, it's good ^^ The only thing I'd change is to drop the size of the tinsel back down to original size - enlarging pixel sprites blurs them a bit. Other than that though Fogged because I don't feel like looking at it right now. It was either that, freezing it or killing it. It sounds like I'm the only one who has a misgendered dragon. No word from TJ, so am guessing it's not fixable. I appreciate the name suggestions, but I'm not changing my naming scheme, so it won't be Raga's anything.

Heh I already made a few badges for some prize owners, want me to give it a shot? Just let me know what you want in it and I'll do my best!

Awww misgendered dragons are the worst, you have my sympathies Though I wouldn't freeze/kill even if prize gendered wrong, it's still rare as heck and worth more as an adult, just think of the new possibilities 8Y Share this post Link to post

(By the way I've had your scroll bookmarked for years because I love some of the names you give your dragons. SO MANY FANDOMS. I was glad to see you win) I would pretty much love that, zaverxi! I will be PMing you. My scroll is hidden right now, and that makes me sad. Hopefully when the hullabaloo is over, it can come out again? As to fandoms, I think I have Pern, Austen, Jackaroo, Stardust, Hitchcock, Tamora Pierce, Harry Potter, Abhorsen, Lolita, X-Men, Bones, Princess Bride, Sleepy Hollow (TV and Movie!), Firefly, Robin McKinley, X-Files, Hunger Games, Vonnegut, Earthsea, Howl's Moving Castle, Totoro, Ender's Game, Back to the Future, Invader Zim, Arrested Development, Oscar Wilde, Dr Strangelove, Big Bang Theory, His Dark Materials, Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock and Doyle), Tim Burton, Doctor Who, Phantom of the Opera, Pushing Daisies, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Black Cauldron, random literary and movie names, and whatever few LotR references fans left for me- and that is in the first page and a half of my scroll only. Hmm. Maybe I need to cut down my fan-girling a bit. OR NOT! Share this post Link to post

I've never had any misgender before, and it's pretty much screwed up any/all plans I had for it. I fogged it because I'm not foolish enough to really kill it/freeze it/abandon it. It's just been a very bad couple of weeks, so this is just one more thing going wrong. Normally, I'd laugh about it, but right now, it's really just the cherry on a very stinky cake.
