Shrewd grew my babies while I was away this weekend but now that I'm back I can GUSH about them because holy MOLY woman you done good :'|
Immediately made me think of Elsa, because apparently all vaguely snowy female Lucain now make me think of Elsa despite me not being very obsessed with Frozen at all xD; I really adore that light blue on her and how subtle her markings are. Definitely reminds me of gentle, delicate snow. I believe she's got Sunbear and Mudpaw too.
Now THIS BOY. tHIS BOY. As soon as I saw the gradient he had as a pup, I knew I'd love him. His colors reminded me of space and he did not disappoint in that aspect. All those black/blue/purple/pale hues blending together on him are amazing, and the bright bit on his haunches, along with the Celestial, makes it look like a galaxy, or a star. And then his Arach looks like something creeping across the universe. I don't think I have enough words to describe how much I love him. All I know is that I'll probably be hoarding/keeping him for a very, very long time. Definitely my fave from the bunch and one of the best Lucain I've bred.
This girl is also quite stunning, more so than her sister IMO. I just really adore that purple to blue gradient on her Backsplas, and the black Arach + black and white wingblades gives her kind of a goth-y/party feel. Definitely a bit simpler in design than her brother, but her colors are really rockin'.
Now for other babies:
Toxic: I actually thought those two babies would come out a bit...flashier? xD; I know you rented my girl out so you could get some nice gold babies, and I'm glad to see you were successful. But they're not quite as shiny as I anticipated. They're not bad looking, though. I think I like the Placid a bit more than the Frost. If Kyrit didn't mention it, I never would've caught Bones on her.
Atoli/Crow: You might have mixed feelings but damn, I also really love what Shrewd did with your litter ;w; <3 The first boy kinda reminds me of dark red velvet, shiny and smooth with that really faint Celestial and giving off a kind of "wrinkled" effect with the gradient Stripes. I'd steal him in a heartbeat. Firebelly boy is actually also quite handsome to me. I don't mind the colors on him at all and I find him simple but nice to look at. The black boy is amazingly Halloween-y. He has a not too typical design and I really enjoy that about him. The Vines and Dweller + his coloration reminds me a lot of this season. If I could come up with an idea for him, I'd definitely trade for him. The blue boy isn't my favorite, but he's got some nice colors going on him; I particularly like the super soft gradient on his wingblades.
