Rawr! 
Updated: July 15th, 2008
Changed portrait colors a little and reorderd the last 4 pallettes in case the stock game actualy ussed the 4th and 5th palettes which had Reis and a Yellow Dragon colors.

Those look much less vibrant, which is a good thing. The other dragon color were too cartoony.

I'll fiddle with it and post the result here for you.
Would you like to avoid it looking like Bremondt's Dark Dragon Form?

Well think thats about it for dragon touch ups, time to move onto the next way too brightly colored critter.. prolly ghosts or malboros

Me likey the black dragon. The Reis sprite is nice, but the main skin color could be a little more blue.

That reis dragon is a good start, but she seems more like a snow dragon than a holy one. I'd say either give her hide more of a blue or gold tint, make her belly more pink or lavender.

To each their own i spose, i think they are both pretty good improvments over the old dark purple/green one.
Still deciding on these two and the wether to use vanya's dark dragon with the blueish spikes or the one you see in the new image on the main post.
damned palette limitations.... spose i could get rid of those silly cockatrice to have more dragon variety tho?

I like white with reddish bottom. You don't need to limit yourself to the amount of dragons in the game. Vanya has made about a gajillion and twenty chocobo sprites (give or take a gajillion), so you could do the same with dragons. My personal request would be to make the super orange hydra, less super orange.

Holy Dragons / Arch Dragons in FF lore are usually Golden in color, right?
You could just make her Golden / White

Looking at the description, it sounds more like an UN-holy dragon.

It makes me happy to hear about my babies being used! =)
I like the 3rd (Goldish-white/Pink) holy dragon.

I am a happy happy panda tonight. I just realized you can use snespal to set the colors for all 8 palettes on the sprite sheet even if they are normaly black without changing the file size any. so now i can have 6 dragon types and 6 chocobo types if i get rid of say the cockatrice and uribos. and overwrite their m.graphic/palette/skillset/job data with the appropriate stuff.
yellow, blue, green, red, black, and white chocos all in the same game at the cost of the silly gulls.... hell yes!

What program are you using that changes the file size when editing the palette? Mine doesn't do that at all. And, miss happy happy panda, you can actually have a total of 8 palettes on each sprite. =)

True i could have 8 on one sprite file but id only be able to fully use 6 as invitable unless i wanted non dragon monsters hatching dragons or the oposite.
About the file size thing, i just figured changing the extra palettes to something other then black would screw with the file size id never tried it before ;p

It's very appropriate that you have Reis's portrait. Very nice dragons.
What kinds of abilities do ya think they'd get?

At the least a apropriate elemental attack for each one, and a generic long range attack thats on par with choco meteor so you cant just bow/spell them to death without getting hurt.

Wow these dragons look awesome! I really like the silver colored one. Would you mind if I decide to use them in the patch I am working on?
