March Dragon Exchange - Closed

[Xenoqueen]

Alrighty, welcome to the second year of the Dragon (and other critters) Exchange! As I said I would, I'm clearing my slate of all the pairs that have been made so far and we're starting fresh.

The "grading" system that caused such an uproar is totally nixed—was nixed as of last month, in fact.

Now, the blacklist of people who cannot participate until they finish and turn in the image(s) they owe. As usual, if you are incorrectly listed here, please direct me to your image so I can record it and clear your name! I'm only human, and I do make mistakes and miss posts.

Aireona93 (November – Received Asha Wermyst, Self-Image Exchange)
Astra (February – Received Shiolar)
Calico (July – Received Sherra)
Dragonflight (February – Received Sargon)
Drakiera (August – Received Yakima)
Ereandir (July – Received DragonFlight)
GildedLilly (December – Received Cacopheny)
Keilin Alyr (June – Received Xalia)
Kendarath (May – Received Shard)
Kitsuneko (February – Received Rachael)
Lerial (December – Received Astra)
Sherra (February – Received Indigo)
Starburst (February – Received Jess D)
StarFyre (November – Received Rachael & Silver Midnight, Self-Image Exchange)
Xalia (January – Received IceCat)
Yakima (February – Received Starburst)

According to the new system, if you are late with an image, your re-joining of the exchange will be delayed a month. You will be allowed to join the exchange again the month after you finally get your image in. So if you were late for February and turn your image in any time in March, you will be allowed to join again in April. Yes, this rule applies to everyone already on the blacklist.

This new "greylist" shows people who have gotten their late image in, and are on their month delay and may rejoin next month.

And here's the sign-up form for the exchange. All fields in the About The Image section are optional, and speak of the image that you hope to receive. Copy-paste it into a new post and fill it out in this thread.

NEW AND IMPORTANT FOR PHE'S SANITY! If you must link to anything (references, music, etc.) DO NOT USE THE "URL" TAG/BUTTON! PLEASE include the full url itself. When I copy-paste, linked words turn into pure text, and I don't always remember to grab the url out of the link—collecting the info and redistributing it already takes me an hour on average, so not having to change the format of links really streamlines my task!

~ABOUT THE IMAGE~
Color(s): blue (skin), flaming red (hair), green/brown swirled eyes. Lots of jungle colors, purples, browns..anything else that works.
Features: Big white tusks, big pointy piered ears, lip ring (optional if you don't wanna ), sunglasses and some kind of leather belt collar. Please put some kind of tats on 'em. A [url +"http://img3.photobucket.com/albums/v12/ ... se_new.jpg"]natical star[/url], a koi fish, and one that says "i <3 mom" (these are all optional, and depends really on if you feel like it). If you want to give him/her clothes, please do. Make them like this.)
Species: Anthro Draconic preferrable (possibly shifter?).
Element(s): Jungle, i guess?
Theme: Trolls/Voodoo. Anything Jamacian thrown in there, or medicine man would be great, but put kind of a new age twist on it, (ie the collar and piercings). I'd prefer to see one of two color schemes, but if you don't like them, do whatever. The first would be a green-blue body with a huge mane of red hair and thin red stripes (prefer this one male if you choose it..). The second would be a purple body with tiger-like blue stripes (this one could be female.)
Gender: either. just not both.
Name: don't matter

See kinda what i'm getting at? My main WoW trollsey as a dragon. But if you don't care/don't want to, just gimme what you feel works.

yay. i'm completely off the deep end xx.

~ABOUT THE IMAGE~
Color(s): Whites, grays, silver -OR- earthy tones
Features: I've had more difficulty imagining what a "neutral" dragon would look like. Ulitmately, I thought of a blend between the good and evil dragons from my previous exchange. Mix and match the traits if you like, or maybe the dragon can shift from a form like the evil to a form like the good, depending on which side of the spectrum must be balanced? Whatever YOU see neutrality as. :P
Species: Preferably draconic
Element(s): Neutrality, balance.
Theme: Final god in my trio, this will be the God of Neutrality, or Balance. It will have to keep up with my God of Evil: http://www.geocities.com/diwpersonas/sfpkre.html , and my unnamed Goddess of Good: http://www.geocities.com/diwpersonas/sfpgood.html
Gender: Either neuter or hermaphrodite, though I think neuter fits the best.
Name: You pick or I will.

Color(s): Any
Features: Any
Species: Any
Element(s): Any
Theme: Moral ambiguity! See, I eventually want to have a sub/mini agency to play contrast to the Destiny, as well as give me a place to play with creatures that Doctor Schroeder's morals would object to. >3 But it needs a cast! And making up my own slew of characters just isn't fun, especially when aboard the Destiny, Schroeder himself is pretty much the only character I made up myself.

So the counter-agency, with the working-name Twisted Fate, needs a crew. In that regard, you have free reign to design what you wish! A dragon for me to attach a bonder to, an alienish critter, any sort of sentient creature... don't feel limited to "dragon", and go wild if you like! And the theme is "moral ambiguity" because the general feel of Twisted Fate is a place without conscience-- hence, free reign for me to do whatever I want, in contrast to Schroeder's very potent sense of good! XD

And if you happen to think of a personality and/or backstory for the image along the way, I'll take that, too! I have fun running with ideas I get from other people.

Theme: Firefly! Heh, yes, I am becoming somewhat of a Firefly/Serenity junkie... love that show! Anywho, I'm working on collecting a set of dragons based on or similar to characters from the show. So far I have: Inara, Mal, Jayne (sorta), and Kaylee (sorta). This leaves Zoe, Wash, Book, Simon, and River--you can choose which one you want to do. (And I wouldn't say no to a Mr Universe dragon, either... or something to do with Fruity Oaty Bars...)
I'm not gonna include reference links, since i don't know what you'll need, and pictures etc are fairly easy to find.

Element(s): Related to theme, if any
Theme: I'm looking to collect critters that are half-dragon, half...some animal. Last month I received a lovely fish-dragon that I never would have thought to ask for. So pick an animal and run with it. You can go gryphon/hippogryph/etc. style where the animal is literally half and half, or take features of both and mix them up. You can take the markings of one or both, use natural colorings or abstract. Go crazy! =D... have fun? ^^;
Gender: Male, female, both, neither... not particular
Name: Not particular. Maybe something related either to the species, or where it's from?

Theme: Okay, so the movie based thing worked out well for me last time. *cuddles Emily* So I've decided to go with another favourite, a la Peter Jackson's King Kong. What I'm looking for in particular is the t-rex head. If you've seen the movie, you know what I'm talking about. That massive thing with rows of jagged teeth and squinty eyes. :3 Give me that lovely, lovely ugly mug and I'll love you forever.

Gee...for some reason that sudden new rule kinda hurt...oh well. Not that I planned on this month anyway as I seem to be too busy getting my websites redone and need to completley redo the Feb dragon anyway because I think it looked weird.

It's not sudden, I said last month that I would be implementing it-- it's the exchange in "punishment" now that images aren't graded.

[Yakima]

Well I don't remember that. I get lost with all these posts. I just PM Starburst if she would rather have a Spell Weaver because the traits she asked for are simular. Just ignore me because seeing that put me in a bad mood after a tiring night at work. *shrug* Best ignore me until then.

[Silver Midnight]

There's Astra's January finally. XD He makes me think of Aslan, but what came to mind for "Crusader" was a lion...

This IS a PNG, and will look best upon a dark background.

Gender: Either

[Astra]

*glomps sil a million times*
SO so sexay *must find napkin to whipe off drool*

His sword looks a bit like the Sword of Kings from Cyrnan lore ... can't remember if I requested that or not. Nifty coincidence if I didn't though

Shiolar, I AM working on yours, just for some reason I have decided I can't draw fluffy to save my life ... plus for some reason everything I draw has way too long of a neck and the proportions just look ... bad. I will finish eventually though I pwomise!

[Silver Midnight]

I didn't think I could do much for the others, but this guy, while not a dragon, is very fluffy. He is an already established species, as there are several out now, but he is unique.

Name: Garu
Gender: Male
Species: Sulanu
Variety: 2 tailed
Color: Sapphire
Note: He is the very first hand-drawn and colored sulanu! He's also the first 2-tailed one I've done

Sulanu are intelligent felines with multiple tails; they usually come in gem colors and are telepathic, as well as having the ability to teleport themselves limited distances. They aren't the most articulate, but if someone wanted to take time to work with them, they could "speak" as well as anyone (they are telepathic)

Hope you like him

[JKatkina]

Oh my god, those are the most awesome things ever. XD

[Rachael]

Phee, is it possible just to say "Ditto" and have the same thing for this month as last month? =3?

[Xenoqueen]

You'd be best off just reposting it. ^^* When I do the scan for applications come the last day, I don't stop to look at anything that doesn't fit the form-format (ie I don't read anything that looks like "chatter"), and as forgetful and mistake-prone as I am, I might forget to include you. >_>*

[Shiolar]

Wheee! Jess! He's absolutely adorible. I love him! Thankies!
