Talk:Iridescent Dragon/@comment-25015638-20170201155409

I think I've put together my thoughts on this...frankly very sub-par dragon.

For me, the body type isn't the problem- in fact I'd find it very cute if it weren't for the bad color choices and shading. That shade of dark pink doesn't go with that dull purplish color very well; it'd work better if it were duller.

The "iridescent" parts look like they were colored sloppily in GIMP or Paint.NET. It wouldn't be nearly as bad if they didn't use such MS Paint-like colors or, y'know, actually looked at what iridescent surfaces look like. Iridescence does not work that way at all.

It's not just the iridescent parts, either; the shading and especially highlights on this dragon are very sub-par. The highlights look like they were sloppily drawn on with the airbrush tool; like c'mon, there isn't even pen pressure. I can see where the stroke began and where it looped around on the back highlight; there's a subtle bulge on one of the ends.

This is a pretty big step down in the art department for Backflip and I'm very disappointed. Come on, you guys, go back and look at your designs from 2016. You can do better than this.
