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?

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

Vagrant Story's Holy Elemental Dragon:

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

Green/Grand, Blue, Red, Dark, Zombie are the ones used most consistantly in the ff titles.

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

I'm not really sure what i want to do with hydra's. they dont seem to look as good as dragons do with dark colors.
