[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] ----------------- [u][b]HONORABLE MENTIONS:[/b][/u] [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/65421663][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/654217/65421663_350.png[/img][/url] [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] [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/68405462][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/684055/68405462_350.png[/img][/url] [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] [center][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=113&bodygene=87&breed=7&element=3&eyetype=6&gender=0&tert=31&tertgene=7&winggene=87&wings=113&auth=552176e31abf309a8fc93393528cae2c68e74bf8&dummyext=prev.png[/img] [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] [/center] [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/75277152][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/752772/75277152_350.png[/img][/url] [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] [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/76699861][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/766999/76699861_350.png[/img][/url] [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] [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/63301505][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/633016/63301505_350.png[/img][/url] [quote]the only one i feel is enhanced by the smoke is the wildclaw. it mixes well. as long as it stays dressed, it is pleasant.[/quote][/center]

@ornithogalum you might want to see this unfold

[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 [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/28583306][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/285834/28583306_350.png[/img][/url] Edit: The art in the bio makes the smoke gene look extra cute!

[center]Smoke is nice!

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.

I might put more scries here after rollover :)

I haven't used smoke in many projects, but Lovestruck has it!

[center]Look at the pretty and mystic effects golden smoke has on dark colours c: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/7821101][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/78212/7821101_350.png[/img][/url][/center]
