Neither of these have their heads back - they also have their legs stretched forward, to accommodate the landing. The legs of the male Melismor are squared. His front half is resting/stationary, only his back half is moving at all. His front legs are squarely under his shoulders; that's the biggest issue with the pose. You could argue more vertebrae would do that all day - we don't know - but his front half is squared and stationary, while his back half has motion. But again it's not a big deal; I solved my own problem with the anatomy by deciding to view it as a wizard messing with 'em 😁 Share this post Link to post
Posted May 25, 2018 Being a hufflepuff, I am super happy that not only are the Malismor super cute elegant ferret/badger eastern dragons, but they are the only ones with demorphisim Share this post Link to post

I don't think that's how it's supposed to work... Also, the AP is filled with less than 3 day low time eggs. It's been a long time since I've seen the AP this low when it wasn't a holiday. Okay, let's try this again! x) "I love the Melismors so much, I made a little comic about a farm boy named Eddie and his carrot dilemma. According to @Malcorium, Melismors' magic is capable of invigorating the plantlife in the soil around their burrows for bigger, tastier foods."

I'm surprised that wasn't already taken! I love it. This is my favourite Hufflepuff related joke. I think I'm going to name some of my Melismors something similar. Share this post Link to post

LOL, so somebody's running around casting Levicorpus on the Hufflepuff dragons? "Leggo my ankle!" 😄 Share this post Link to post

Posted May 26, 2018 Overall I am not thrilled with the sprite updates. I tried to give it a little time to see if they grew on me but it's not happening. Reds One of my favorite dragons and my army isn't just for the incubates. I still picked them up because I liked them. Initially when I saw the new sprite I thought the details on the scales were great, it wasn't until I started looking at my lineages that I saw what bothers me. They aren't the same red anymore, it's closer to holly red than the old red now. The lineage tile profile has changed, bringing the far wing forward rather competes with the face for attention. Their teeth now blend into the scroll (default) background and just look gape mouthed rather then ferocious. The wings now look like satin which is at odds with the rugged scaled body to me. I really did love that dark red of the old red dragon, I think it's just wrap up what lineages I have going and call them done. Seasonals Where to start? So many things that bother me have been mentioned by others. The overall "pointiness" departure from the rounded movement of the old sprites. The new ones seem posed rather than moving. I don't like the introduction of the purple to the winter's heads and they lost their charm with the changes in poses. My autumns, that deep lovely brown is gone from the female. She just looks washed out now. The male is stiff and lost his forward movement that I so liked paired with snow angels. The males now look like they are trying to put the brakes on the snow angels rather than running with them. I can't quite put my finger on where the springs lost their coyness. I am suspecting that lengthening the tails on all of them and trying to balance that is part of what I see as the problem. Summers I didn't work with that much. In some ways they do look better than they did. Though I liked the wing spread of the old sprite in the lineage tile better where you could see the edge of the wing. Guess it's just as well I was already winding down my seasonal projects as I am terrible about remembering to breed them at the right times. Share this post Link to post
Posted May 26, 2018 Oh my goodness. I cannot wait to add these dragons to my lair. Share this post Link to post
Posted May 26, 2018 I've really been loving everything in this release; the trading hub in particular is such an awesome addition! Thanks so much TJ and spriters. Share this post Link to post
Posted May 26, 2018 I'll have my first adults in about an hour!! So excited. This has been such an awesome DC birthday! Share this post Link to post
Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) Here's the original one-and-a-half-year-old concept art of the Razorcrests! It took me a while before I was able to find a pose I liked, and had the skill set to properly visualize the wings and frills in perspective. In the final version, the face changed to be more beaky, a third horn and wing finger were added, and the frills on the side of the neck became one single frill along the neck vertebrae. It's rare for me to work from concept art, so I thought it might be fun to share this! Fun fact: The silver markings along a Razorcrest's wings and frills are a sign of age; they aren't there when they first mature, and slowly creep in as the dragon ages. The oldest individuals have completely silver wings and frills; the only bronze left is on their inner head crest and talons. Edited May 26, 2018 by PieMaster Share this post Link to post

Posted May 26, 2018 As stated before, the Harry Potter references are completely lost on me, but they all look great! ~ ♥ I especially love the Lacula and Razorcrest. Share this post Link to post

Posted May 26, 2018 Yaaayyyy! I have two adult Leodons, two adult Razorcrests, and one adult Lacula! Oh they are just beautiful! Share this post Link to post
Posted May 26, 2018 My first batch grew up, still don't care too much for this release. Seems like I don't like many of the birthday releases lately though. Share this post Link to post
Posted May 26, 2018 The adults are lovely! ❤️ I especially like the Melismors - such cute noodles! Share this post Link to post
Posted May 26, 2018 Two more hours before the first of my new ones grow up. I have to say the Laculas are my favorite followed by the Razorcrests. Love the colors selected for the Razorcrests and the deep greens for the Laculas. The Melisimors are fun looking. They kind of remind me of ferrets. Share this post Link to post
Posted May 26, 2018 So much pretty! The Razorcrest are my favourite but noodles are always welcome. And the Melismor are so slinky and the Leodon sprite is awesome in how it conveys the hugeness of the dragon, seriously how did you do that? Thank you Spriters and TJ for an awesome birthday celebration. Share this post Link to post
