It would be amazing to see unis painted in other animal colours, I’m sure stripes, bengal spots, and other patterns would sell really well. I would love to see some cuttlefish patterns and numbats. Some unicorns painted like Oryx, Gazelles, Antelopes, Blackbucks and Markhor could be really neat. Oh, red pandas, or maybe some tropical birds, or tabby cats. I think there are lots of crazy possibilities for naturally coloured non-horse patterns. Gives us (and you!) something different!
Eee female fronted goth metal – some of my favorite stuff! But I also like music I can sing to, and I’m a soprano so their music tends to be in my range.
My faves are Within Temptation, Nightwish (both singers, I find it weird that a lot of people are all for the new girl or the old one), Lacuna Coil, Delain, Xandria (though I haven’t listened to it much recently.
But I like a lot of other music too – a bunch of oldies that my mother has sheet music for that I grew up with – one of my faves to sing with my mother is The Gambler by Kenny Rogers, but there were many more!
… I can pretty much appreciate anything that’s actually singing (not rap, or growling “cookie monster” singing)…. 🙂
Yay! Another one! 😀 I like both Nightwish singers, but for different reasons. Tarja’s solo stuff is amazing too, I love the slower ballads. I liked Dark Passion Play but honestly didn’t care for Imaginaerium at all. Not because of the singer, I just didn’t like it overall. OH and Delain, another band I like! Charlotte is so nice too, she usually responds to people on twitter and her blog and such.
But my favorite is gothic metal/rock and Japanese. Nightwish, Xandria, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation, Midnattsol, Leaves’ Eyes/Liv Kristine and (a few songs of, but not a lot since they have some of that awful “cookie monster” voice) Theatre of Tragedy. Those are all a good start for gothic metal. I’ve heard Sonata Arctica called gothic metal, though I don’t think they are. Might just be metal in general. But I like them as well.
*flails* Really! Haha I’m so excited, female-fronted gothic/ symphonic metal/ rock is my favourite too! Well, okay, Evanescence is my favourite and a lot of people don’t consider them metal, but Within Temptation, Epica, Lacuna Coil, and Nightwish (And Tarja’s Solo stuff) are my other favourite bands. I saw Lacuna Coil recently, at the beginning of February and got to see Within Temptation for the first time last September. I missed Nightwish, Tarja, and Leaves’ Eyes when they came through though.
I never liked Xandria a whole lot before, they had a few songs I liked but nothing major, but their recent album that came out on the 6th is amazing! I can’t turn it off. I just got Epica’s new one today but haven’t given it a thorough listen yet.
And also, when you say cookie monster voice, you mean the growling stuff right? Because I hate that too XD Part of the reason I prefer Evanescence and Within Temptation over Epica, Tristania, Eluveitie, etc. Actually I think the only reason I like Epica and Tristania is because Simone and Vibeke’s vocals are so amazing. I’ve listened to a bit of Midnattsol and Theatre of Tragedy but not a whole lot, I much prefer the melodic female vocals.
Haha, sorry for the long reply, it’s just exciting to find someone who likes the same music I do! 😀
Yeah, the cookie monster is like, when they’re using that horrid grungy, like you said, growling noise and still trying to sing or yell in it. Hate it so much. And yeah. Tristania has it all over the place, so I never listen to their stuff. I think I like one or two songs that didn’t have that voice in it. Forever Slave uses it a bit too. Which sucks, since I enjoy the female’s voice.
Honestly, when I was first introduced to Xandria (by random. I downloaded a bunch of random Gothic music many’a years ago. Geez. 10+ or so years ago?) and the, like 3 or 4 songs, didn’t interest me at all so it took me awhile to investigate their stuff. But I LOVE their album “India”, which made me just give all their other work a new chance… and now I like oh… 97% of their work. Oooh the song “Sisters of the Light” is my favorite from them. “Return to/India” are both close behind it, and then “The Lioness”.
I’m not big into Evanescence. But yeah, I thought they were rock, not metal? Regardless, I like a few songs, like their hits (Immortal, Bring me to Life, etc) but beyond that… not much else. I like “Hello” (what can I say? I’m a sucker for depressing music). That’s my favorite from them. But being honest, I haven’t listened to them in, wow, years probably.
I have SO much gothic metal music. It’s great stuff :3
If you listen to Tristania’s 2007 album, Illumination, there is much less growling. I think that was after the growler in the band left, so the album is much softer overall. They have a few gorgeous ballads worth listening to, like “Destination Departure”, “Down”, “Lotus”, and “Bird”. With Tristania, Epica, Eluveitie, all that, I tend to listen to the songss without the harsh male vocals almost exclusively, though it depends on my mood. I tend to prefer the ballads 😛 Epica actually has some crazy awesome ballads, my favourites are “Tides of Time”, “Solitary Ground (the single version)”, “Feint”, “safeguard to Paradise”, and “Higher High”.
Maybe I should give Xandria’s other albums another chance. Have you listened to their new one at all? It just came out last week. It’s changing my opinion on them a lot. I think I have all their albums, just haven’t listened to them in ages. Definitely giving “Sisters of Light” a listen when I get home.
Do you like Sirenia? Or the Gathering? Or After Forever/ ReVamp? I don’t even think the Gathering is really metal at all but a lot of people who like the female fronted gothic rock love them. My favourite song is “You Learn about It”. I don’t like After Forever or ReVamp, again because of the growling, but there are a few gems in there. “Sweet Curse” by ReVamp is probably my favourite song of all time, by any band, ever. XD
Hello by Evanescence is an awesome song, I love the depressing ones also. Their new song (which they better make a single), “Lost in Paradise”, is a really gorgeous depressing song. It’s faster than Hello and not as creepy but pretty awesome nonetheless. 😀

The black ice male dragon from a while back was gorgeous, and this one is nice too. Good for a blue colour! I don’t think it has the same issue as the black amethyst, because the colours are in different places on these than on the black gold, black emerald, etc.
Just curious if they will be avalible this year some time . I hope they are easier to remove from the mold too .
I haven’t made one yet. I plan to.
PYO Pegasus in the meantime? 😛
Puff, your link isn’t working, but this is what it is: http://fav.me/d2jtqog
While I was searching I found this too, but I don’t know if windstone has a rule against drawings… http://fav.me/d1s5jz8
I agree about the “black AND” colours, we already have black gold and now black emerald violet or whatever… plus the black emerald and black ruby/ hades seem more popular anyway *shrugs*
If you want to do purple how about lavender pearl? 😀 (I’d be happy with a pink or blue colour as well)
I checked on both my admin account and normal account and it’s in the same place for both.
Since you guys are having a hard time, I will tell you it is no further back than page 6 in the search results and it’s on the first page of the thread.
Make sure you give the pictures enough time to load! 🙂
Good luck!
