Flight Rising Discussion

I finished updating my [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/2356913/1]Iridescent and Shimmer guide[/url] and I'm noticing a persistent pattern. Obelisks are by far the shiniest and glossiest dragons with the genes. In addition to that, they have the fewest secondary colors expressed. I wonder if the texture of their hide and fur is significantly different from their brethren. I'm going to use Emerald as an example: ----- Obelisk

Coatls Wildclaws barely have any gloss, how did I not notice this?

Maybe because all of that oil we had to gather xD

well-oiled

the oil had to be used for SOMETHING,

i really like how high-gloss they are, though! it's pretty

They look like metal statues, really glossy

Jade Statues, here we come!

It's pretty but I can't help but think the lack of any color shifts is an art error

it makes them look like statues and i love it :D

imo its way way too glossy. I prefer the level of glossiness and colorshift found on skydancers and spirals. with how glossy it is and with such a weak colorshift on the Obelisk it just looks pretty much nearly identical to metallic/alloy if its colors weren't darkened significantly your emerald iri/shim [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=33&bodygene=1&breed=15&element=6&eyetype=0&gender=1&tert=95&tertgene=0&winggene=1&wings=33&auth=08036affd2f41f649c4682cf89169478c24b9534&dummyext=prev.png[/img] Spearmint met/alloy [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=78&bodygene=17&breed=15&element=3&eyetype=4&gender=1&tert=83&tertgene=0&winggene=17&wings=78&auth=80076e39c54f8e9ba1d1906f5b4dab68d5a848df&dummyext=prev.png[/img]
