If you could revamp a gene which would it be and how would you go about it?
For me I'd revamp veined to have the color shifts that opal has, I think it'd make really cool earth reps.
Edit: I just want to make clear this isn't meant to bash on the artists so much as to build off of what they've already created as more of a thought experiment. I know for a fact that I wouldn't be able to come up with the stuff they do out of thin air.

Contour - give it a satin-like shimmer and vary the line thickness to be more like a calligraphy stripe instead of a flat single-thickness line that looks like it was drawn in 4 seconds with with the Pen tool. Instead of cutting across the shoulder & flank [seriously this clashes with every single primary gene pattern, I can't even begin to fathom how this was approved] it just tapers off and avoids those areas instead of cutting across. Could have been one of the most popular genes on the site with a little effort, instead of the extremely niche one it is now.
Also make keeled look like a natural part of the dragon instead of a diseased growth. It would have actually been EASIER to make the scales follow the movement of the body in an elegant way, but instead it's like they deliberately rotated half of them in random directions so they'd be out of alignment and look messy and gross?? y tho

Yeah I would really like if Keel was changed to look more natural and not so... chaotic, like an exploded pinecone.

glowtail. looks unbalanced as-is; add just a tad of accent in the head area and it won't seem like the dragon just accidentally sat over a vat of glow-in-the-dark paint. could do ears/various head frills and then neck, fading out quickly like it fades in on the tail. would make it feel more unified.

Yeah I would prefer if contour dipped under the stomach instead of cutting across the dragons shoulder and sides. It can work with skink but it's definitely more difficult.

:c We'd remove the weird gradient on some thylacine colours. That always makes us sad we love thylacine but it's basically unusable sometimes.
And do something with contour.

Return Jupiter and Saturn to how it was released initially, thicker lines made it look so much less busy.

I completely agree with the keel statement! Keel looks like its not even part of the game, it looks like its been lazily photoshopped on
All respect to the artist(s) but please make keel blend in better with the dragons!
Infact i dont think i’ve seen anyone ever pull off keel well in its current state

I'd really, really love Smirch if it didn't also add a fade the tertiary color, particularly along the dragon's head.
It just decreases the contrast and the impact of any colors or markings on the dragon's face and leaves their higher-contrast markings intact to draw attention to like, their butt.

I think it'd look really nice as just the solid markings alone, or with a different color distribution.

Honestly- uhh... Marbled, change it to look like the banescale version. The modern version is not super great.
