first hatching!

[jinian]

All four are boys, which is great for me! The only wing options from this pair were ivory and banana, and I was relieved to get mostly ivory as banana is a bit much for my sensibilities.







Midnight/Ivory/Midnight --> actually sort of bad ass.





Shadow/Banana/Midnight didn't look quite as sophisticated, but I bought a Seraph gene for someone else and didn't like it after all, and now he is also pretty rad.





Silver/Ivory/Mulberry. Maybe with some cool gene scrolls he will be nifty.

And then there is this little guy...





MAGENTA, folks. Magenta and mulberry. Yup. I'm not sure anything can be done other than snickering every time I see him. Maybe he'll grow up to own his fabulousness.

Aww, hatchies! The magenta and mulberry is...quite eye-catching. :)

[tessercat]

Hee! He makes up for all monochrome-ish brothers. ^_^

I got a magenta fae with seafoam secondary the one and only time I bred my progens. She was something else.

(Though I do want to defend banana! With te right genes and color combinations, banana can be quite good.

How adorable! Lovely boys. It's tons of fun to stick them in the scrying workshop and play with possible gene combinations.

The magenta one needs a badass name.

[jinian]

With speckle he looks like a giant rafflesia flower, and a giant parasite that smells like rotting meat is pretty badass, but I'm not sure about it as a name... More thought is called for here. :)

[jinian]

Oooh, I hadn't done that before! Thanks for the tip. Magenta baby looks pretty awesome in some of these combos.

[jinian]

That does sound remarkable. :)

Yeah, the banana + seraph looks pretty great actually. I'm prepared to believe there are other good applications, it's just very glaring in basic against the black and dark gray primary. (Or, like in their dad, against mulberry.)

[jinian]

I was surprised they all landed in boring-town, but he definitely makes up for quite a lot!

[jinian]

I think the word you're looking for may be "fierce." :)

Rafe, however, is the name of a Rake in a romance novel.

The banana would look awful on your babies because of the stark color contrast. Banana looks best with close colors that can mute it a bit, though the color contrast can be good with the right genes.

Here are some of my banana dragons:

Apollo here (the father of the dragon I gave you) is Ivory/Banana/Banana:





If he were triple banana, he'd be blindingly bright, but the ivory tones the banana down some, so instead he's just bright and sunshine-y under the armor. (The accent actually makes him look brighter than he is.)

Jellal is tomato/banana/banana, which is a fairly stark contrast, and the tomato can also be blinding, but the combination and calmer tert gene just makes him bright and cheerful:





Sheeta is banana/brown/beige, and the banana is mostly hidden by the cloak, but the genes and color combination make the banana look a little closer to the brown-range spectrum than the yellow, so she looks a little more sandy/earthy that you'd think banana would be:





Kyo is Banana/Magenta/Ivory. I really don't know how, but the ivory circuit calms both the banana and magenta down a lot:
