Hi there! I have two questions:
1) Are you going to paint more regular hatching dragons in the red fire color?
2) Are there plans to paint regular hatchers in newer colors, like sand and serpentine?
Thank you!
I’m not Melody, but she has said before that all sculpts produced in a retired color will not be restocked. So no more red fire on anything that is currently out there. There are no red fire hatching royalty, no red fire coiled male or mother dragons, so there is a possibility we MAY see those in the future if we squeak loud enough. 🙂
SQUEAK!!! for any hatching royalty…
…I know Melody said they wouldn’t be doing any non-Ebay hatching royalty for some time because of the difficulties involved with those pieces, but how long of a wait does that mean? Will I have hatching royalty dragons for christmas? Or is further production of those pieces not even on the timeframe radar?
*whispers* I think Melody might want to phase out regular hatchers?

My art: featherdust.comNuuuuuuu!!! At least not until we have silver hatchers(they were released in the royal set, but there was never a regular).
Isn’t that a red fire one in the middle? We have retired the Red Fire color. Causes too much heartburn.
I don’t want to produce hatchers anymore.
They are killing us, the last batch took a painter all week to paint 35 of them. So unless there is some kind of break through with the painting process, I don’t plan to make more, except for Ebay.
You’ll need a silver one too.
I am trying to come up with a new hatcher to replace the old one for production. This one will be easier to paint!I have a ‘mistake’ red fire with red eyes, so I’m still on the lookout for a regular red fire with orange eyes.
Ahh, yeah, I understand! They’ve had a good run, but if they’re that difficult to paint…
Having a hatcher in silver would be wonderful though, before the sculpt was retired.
And a new hatcher would be awesome!
Thank you so much!
Oh, Melody, please just one more regular hatcher in copper patina! I have 23 pairs of matching youngs and regular hatchers and one pore lil copper patina young with no matching hatcher and he’s so lonesome without a partner!!! There is no substitute for a matching partner!!! (squeak, squeak!!) :((
We COULD try copper patina – if the egg and base are all the same color that would make painting them about a million times easier!
The big problem with these hatchers is all the edges of color that have to be perfect, and the difficulty of keeping the shell clean.If keeping the shell clean is so troublesome, why not make them spotty and colorful? An egg with pattern and flaws would be more natural. I could see dragon’s coming out of speckled eggs, brown eggs, robin blue eggs…

It’s the sharp contrast of two colors against each other (e.g. brown egg with a blue dragon) moreso than keeping the white ‘perfect’.

My art: featherdust.comThat would work if the dragon wasn’t bright purple or something. Even a tiny-tiny bit of over spray is really hard to hide. We are painting the remainder of the hatchers in copper patina! They don’t look too bad.
