[center][i]try your best to make me eat my words[/i]
smoke is my least favorite gene. i hate it. it makes me irrationally angry to see it. being offered a dragon with smoke makes me want to rip my eyebrows off and glue them back on so i look perpetually angry.
so please, i beg of you:
show me your exceptional smoke dragons, the ones you think make for the pinnacle of dragon kind. make me like this windsinger-forsaken gene.
[i]or if you just want me to rip on your dragon mercilessly[/i]
[b]edit[/b] and because apparently my intention was not clear enough... [i]i will[/i] [/center]

[quote]i like this one because you cannot see the smoke under the skin. that's a big plus. lore/character wise it's cool because of the chaos bit, and knowing it's there, but you still don't have to see it. 11/10 however, without the accessories i would drop it to an 8/10 because while very subtle, i still would have gone with contour or lace. i don't absolutely hate it, though. best smoke usage i've seen so far.[/quote][/center]

[quote]it's semi-acceptable on the gaoler but only due to the lack of ancient terts. the color blends well so it's not abhorrent. like a 5/10[/quote][/center]

[quote] the phraroah with the smoke, though, is acceptable. 7/10. i might even buy it if it were not simply a scry. i likely would end up changing the smoke later, though, when the novelty wore off.[/quote]

[quote]hmm. i don't hate this. it does sort of seem like the rings of shimmering color on oil or gasoline spills. however, it's too opaque and single-colored for that overall. i prefer other tertiary genes with this combo (smirch is notable, but also opal). but i commend your attempt and your pretty dragon.[/quote][/center]

[quote]i like it with the addition of the apparel. it does seem to enhance the ethereal quality in this instance. good job. without the apparel i am horrified, though, so it is not a complete win.[/quote][/center]

[columns]I'm also not a huge fan of smoke- I don't think it looks terrible, but it is very situational, and more often than not it just serves to make a dragon overly busy in a weird way. However, I am enamoured with my one smoke dragon because his whole deal [i]is[/i] being horrifically busy. He's a living rainbow and I love him, and smoke, while not super visible on him, just serves to add to his chaos. I love my little rainbow man.

I am surprised I only have one dragon with smoke! I quite like how the swirls look like clouds or like nebulae (when paired with starry genes)
This is my cosy pal

Edit:
The art in the bio makes the smoke gene look extra cute!

OH MY FRIEND. I am about to bomb you with scries;
Generally, I think smoke is good at either busying gene designs or giving a nice, subtle accent.

Smoke does tend to be a really niche gene that works in very specific situations.. I might put more scries here after rollover :)
