LimGuda WIP doodles
Tumblr media
I wanted to compile my collection of LimGuda doodles mostly from 2021 ~ 2022. They’re rough WIPs, but I wanted to post the ones I still like. I’ll put them under the cut, along with some rambles I have on LimGuda wearing Việt phục, traditional Vietnamese clothes! I’ve been meaning to redraw these sometime in the future.
LimGuda my comfort headcanon NBLNB couple!!! 🥺 💚 🧡  God I love them so much it's unreal. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Việt phục talk 
I’m planning for Douman and Ritsuka to wear matching Việt phục (“Vietnamese traditional clothing”). The specific type of Việt phục they’re wearing is called áo tấc (“10 cm dress”). It’s also called áo tế (“Ritual/Ceremonial dress”). Tấc is a unit of measurement. In modern times, 1 tấc = 10 cm, and it’s the width of the hem of the dress or bound seam. 
Áo tấc is the historical predecessor to Vietnam's national dress, áo dài (“Long dress”). Áo tấc is also called Áo ngũ thân tay thụng (“Five-panel robe with loose sleeves”). It’s a type of Áo ngũ thân (“Five-panel robe”) with large loose sleeves. Áo tấc was worn by all classes for various occasions. 
I have an art idea of Douman and Ritsuka wearing green and red áo tấc... Red is a colour worn by Vietnamese brides. I usually see Vietnamese brides wear red, pink, or gold, etc., or bright colours at their weddings. Red, blue, green, and pink are common Vietnamese wedding colours! So that’s why I want LimGuda to wear green and green áo tấc.
That reminds me, I've had the idea of LimGuda wearing áo tấc in my head for the longest time and I haven't refined the rest yet because I haven't been able to decide whether I want Douman’s hair in braids or ponytail LOL. These are my ideas for them:
Douman
Green áo tấc with black trousers, hair based off his 1st Ascension design, but styled into braids or a low ponytail. I think I’ll end up going with the braids! I’m also thinking of another version with him wearing black and red áo tấc with black trousers, based off his 3rd Ascension design.
I think for Douman, I'd use the same muted emerald green he wears. Áo tấc are usually simpler in style compared to outfits like áo nhật bình (“Square collared dress”). 
Ritsuka
Red áo tấc with white trousers, maybe a red khăn đóng (turban headpiece), white and red beaded necklaces, and elaborate gold hairpins. As for their hairstyle... maybe I can have their tied back in a bun with some loose strands (the common Vietnamese bride look). Or their hair could just be let down loose.
LimGuda in in Việt phục… wearing my culture’s traditional clothes??? I AM ON THE FLOOR. The Nguyễn dynasty's áo tấc and áo nhật bình make great wedding attire. Red is such a classic colour for traditional wear and weddings to, and Ritsuka would look so kissable in red áo nhật bình~ My wifey wife wife...
I wanna draw them in áo nhật bình eventually, but the patterns on nhật bình are more colourful and detailed, so I'm saving that for another time.  
Extra rambles
Douman has such a good design. Their design is amazing, but it’s so detailed and complex, so I wanted to draw LimGuda in áo tấc so I can have simpler designs to refer back to whenever I want to draw them quickly.
I still have to redraw the áo tấc Ritsuka though, it's an old doodle from 2021, and I improved a lot since then, so it’s outdated compared to my current art style. Somewhere around ~2022, I started using a weighted inky brush instead, and I think it suits my art style more! I love using weighted inky brushes! I've been using it as my sketching/lining brush ever since.
I read an article before that talked about how combinations of green and red in Viet weddings were considered a symbol of courtship and marriage... and romantic with erotic symbolism... Oh my god... LimGuda...
I read a post by @/lotusinjadewell that in Southern Vietnam, Viet brides would wear 2 áo ngũ thân on top of each other, with the outer layer being green, and the inner layer being red. That reminds me of Douman colours...
LimGuda wearing green and red Việt phục (Combusts) I wanted to choose those colours because green and red are also notable wedding colours! Anyways I'd have many more things to say about them, but it'd be an essay, so I just wanted to let people know about my immense love for them!!!
I wanna draw them more, since they’re one of my top favourite ships ever and incredibly important to me, but Douman’s design is the most detailed and complex out of my faves. Still, I'd like to become powerful at drawing them someday. Plus, I wanna give myself simpler outfits to fall back on whenever I don't want to draw their canon outfits (especially Douman's which has too many details)
They give me constant brainrot I think about them every single day. I’ve been down bad for them since December 2020. LIMGUDA

Black Hair History & Significance
The legacy of Black Hair began in Africa, where there is not one single type of hair because it ranges from different textures, hairstyles from curls to locs. As Ayana Byrd and Lori Tharps (2014) put it “The one constant Africans share when it comes to hair is the social and cultural significance to each beautiful strand” [Ayana Byrd, Lori Tharps (2014) Hair Story Untangling the Roots of Black Hair in America[e-book] 2nd edition , St. Martin’s Publishing Group. Available through: https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Hair_Story/iYhEAwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0&kptab=overview [Accessed 15 May 2022].
In the early 15th century black hair was a tool to carry messages in most west African countries. An example of this would be, the Wolf, Mende, Mandingo and Yoruba were some of the tribes of people who filled slave ships to the “New World”, where hair for these tribes was a language in itself which allowed them to speak to each other. This was because hairstyles were used to indicate a person’s identity, marital status, age, religion, ethnic origin, wealth and their social rank within the community. Furthermore, during pre-colonial African societies there was a hairstyle for everyone or occasion, whether you were a soldier going off to war or a mother about to give birth. The picture below shows an image of a hairstyle which is “A portrait of a lady belonging to the Baggara people a tripe in the region between Lake Chad and Southern Kordofan in Sudan. In Baggara culture clothing, jewellery and hair are an indication of a woman’s wealth and status in society” by @In.Hair.intance on Instagram.
Tumblr media
Hairstyling today is significant because it was and still is a way in which family and friends bond together an example of this can be, a hair salon or a mother doing their child’s hair which can be seen in the images below. Black hair is significant because it’s a legacy that still continues today with different hairstyles being worn and new ones being developed or modernized. This is important because hair in black culture is something very dear to black women especially as a way to express creativity and culture everywhere we go.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Black Hair is important to me as a young Black women because it’s something I use to be creative and express my culture with no words. My own hair and culture offers me a lot of flexibility to be very creative. An example of this would be, my last braided hairstyle with purple beads (shown below). This is significant because the reason why I chose to do this hairstyle was because of my childhood, where my mum would add colourful beads to my hair and this was a staple hairstyle for me and other black girls growing up. This is important for this project because I am able to show my own use of the different hairstyles I have done, also show the rich history behind the importance of black hair before and today.

Gijinka Info
alrighty, wanted to post the rest of my gijinka info, so HERE WE GO!! some of it will repeat from what I’ve already said, just so it’s all in one place. at some point I’ll probably draw examples, but not right now.
you’re absolutely welcome to take inspiration/use this! no credit is necessary either, as I’m sure many other people have come up with the same exact ideas I have.
last edit (10/16/2022): added boulder/myrid, points and soap :]
(all info below the cut because there’s a LOT)
STARTING INFO
dragon form: the dragon’s default appearance, what is seen on-site. (this doubles for an anthro form, as it’s still a dragon form, just.... bipedal and a more humanoid body shape)
semi-gijinka form: a gijinka form that is primarily humanoid but retains dragon features and colors/markings. this includes: wings, tail, horns, underbelly scales (if they have scales. the line will still be visible for those without scales), and their on-site genes (they will not have naturally colored skin. a dragon with radioactive pinstripe will keep that color and pattern on their skin).
full-gijinka form: a gijinka form that is almost entirely humanoid* and does not typically retain dragon features or colors/markings. the skin will be naturally colored, though their hair will typically retain its color, but may not retain its pattern
* all gijinkas, regardless of form, have claws, sharp teeth and slit pupils (if applicable). full-gijinkas often have pointed ears. normal human ears are extremely rare
CHARACTERISTICS
characteristics of gijinka form dragons, ordered by rarity + alphabetically
note: any hairstyles/clothing stated here are just suggestions!! they're just the guideline for the typical dragon of that breed. same goes for height! a dragon may go a little above or below the height range!
PLENTIFUL
Fae:
typical height range: 3′11″ - 4′5″
crests. typically only the head/neck crests, but some may have the cheek crests
colored pupils. pupils are NEVER black or a really dark color
ears range from being relatively the same size/shape of their dragon forms, to being rather long and fairy-like
TINY. muscular Fae are extremely rare. they aren’t often chunky either, but it’s more common to see a chunky Fae than it is to see a muscular Fae. they just do not easily build up muscle
hair is often wavy or curly, Fae with straight hair are not common. length varies from dragon to dragon, 
tend to wear flowy clothing, robes, cloaks, etc. typically have a very... magic...y style.
alternatively, very casual and comfortable wear isn't uncommon either. they favor large hoodies and sweaters. jeans are not always common, but dress pants are (also sweatpants, to a lesser extent). dresses and skirts may be seen. they often incorporate crystals in their outfits
Guardian:
typical height range: 5′10″ - 6′8″
horns
spines
fins (on arms and legs, sometimes cheeks)
ears often have a spiked look to them, some even have fins attached to their ears
jagged teeth that stick out (this normally stays in full-gijinka form)
lots of muscle! naturally well built.
often has long hair, regardless of gender identity. warrior braids are common
tend to wear warrior attire. many favor armor. decorative beads are pretty common in their hair
for more modern, casual wear, many tend to keep a somewhat professional style. skirts and dresses are not typically common, but kilts are occasionally worn
Mirror:
typical height range: 5′3″ - 5′8″
crests (on head and arms. head crests are placed where their ears would be in their full-gijinka form, meaning they don’t have ears in their semi-gijinka form)
four eyes, without pupils (this is sometimes kept even in full-gijinka form. though in that form, they may choose to have pupils)
the bit on their head (the thing on top that kinda looks like a skull and is affected by glimmer)
ears often look similar in shape to their head crests, but much smaller and... an ear, not a crest.
long tongues
VERY sharp teeth. often have fangs that stick out of their mouth
lots of lean muscle. it’s not common for Mirrors to be chunky, but it isn’t impossible.
often have messy hair, many pull their hair up into ponytails so they don’t have to deal with it
tend to wear non-restrictive clothing, and almost never wear anything heavy. often have a thing for light capes/cloaks. clothing tends to be tattered, ripped, worn, etc. piercings are pretty common, but not elegant piercings.
for more modern, casual clothes, punk aesthetics are pretty close. ripped jeans, leather, spikes, etc. all pretty common for Mirrors. almost never wear dresses or skirts
Tundra:
typical height range: 5′0″ - 5′10″  (this is really just because I have some Tundras that I want to be really tall ^^’ a more accurate height range would be 5′0″ - 5′5″)
horns (or whatever they are lmao)
often have toe beans on their hands and feet
ears just look like how they do in their dragon forms. they don’t really change much
tend to have at least a little chub! but muscular Tundras do exist and aren’t overly uncommon. 
thick hair, some choose to keep their manes, and may have fur around their arms and legs. tufted ears are common as well. it's also possible for their semi-gijinka form to have mostly fur on their entire body (full-gijinka forms may have a good bit of body hair regardless of gender identity)
as mentioned above, hair is always very thick. Tundras with thin hair really don't exist. hair tends to be wavy/curly, but it's not overly rare to see a tundra with straight hair. hair texture typically ranges from 2a to 4d. their hair MUST be brushed, as it can get very messy/mat very easily (seen in Ravencourt's hair bc he does not brush it)
clothing style varies, but many choose to have a very comfortable, casual attire. sweaters are extremely common, as are scarves, fur-lined jackets, and other things
COMMON
Aberration:
typical height range: ??? working on it. I imagine they'll be anywhere between 5'5" to 6'3"
horns
big ass fangs
ears are pointy and sharp, but typically tattered
always keep two heads, regardless of form
can have any amount of eyes, but one head typically will always have more eyes than the other (this may stay regardless of form)
mostly lean muscle, not overly buff. mostly made for running
features are typically very sharp and pointy
hair is typically long, fluffy and VERY messy. they look like they never brush their hair. they probably don't.
not a clue on outfits. probably scavenger-like?
Banescale:
typical height range: 5′6″ - 5′10″
horns
spines
ears are normally rather pointy, not typically very long, just pointy.
VERY sharp teeth. always have fangs that stick out of mouth
sometimes will opt to keep their wings as their arms, so they don't have hands. some choose to have hands and just choose to have the wings attach to the arms.
eyes with no pupils (some choose to have pupils in their full-gijinka form)
muscular! naturally well built, tend to be lean, but it's not uncommon for them to have more than just lean muscle
hair greatly varies, but tends to be short. punk styles are not uncommon
most Banescales will wear minimal top clothing, opting for crop tops, tank tops, vests etc. they never wear anything to cover their arms. many have open backs as well due to their spikes. punk styles are pretty common
Gaoler:
typical height range: 5′8″ - 6′5″
antlers
ears just look like how they do in their dragon forms. they always point slightly down
jagged mouths (this often stays in full-gijinka form)
often have toe beans on their hands and feet
very well built. lots of muscle, though a little bit of chub isn’t uncommon
thick hair, often with manes. tufted ears are extremely common. it's also not too uncommon for their body to still be covered in fur (full-gijinka forms tend to have a lot of body hair, regardless of gender identity)
as said above, hair is very thick. it's very similar to Tundra hair, but is even thicker, and is almost never straight. texture is almost always rather coarse. and while Tundra hair can be short (still very thick and fluffy, but shorter), Gaolers almost never have short hair. it's typically shoulder length and below
(haven’t decided on clothing yet ^^’ probably warrior-esque, but warm? idk)
Pearlcatcher:
typical height range: 5′4″ - 5′11″
horn(s)
whiskers
ears closely resemble how they look as a dragon. often point downwards and are somewhat rabbit-like
pearl (also still included in full-gijinka form. obviously.)
a little bit of lean muscle, but otherwise rather slender and elegant. curves aren’t uncommon either. of course, it is possible for them to have chub and it’s actually not uncommon at all!
often keep their arm and leg tufts, sometimes have a bit of their mane that goes down their neck a bit
hair is typically wavy, sometimes curly, but it's uncommon for it to be straight. it’s also very soft and clean. Pearlcatchers are typically very prissy and pride themselves in keeping an elegant, clean appearance
due to this, Pearlcatchers typically have little body hair, and if they have facial hair, it is well kept and not overly long
typically wear either very flowy, elegant clothing, or very professional. they don't know what casual clothing is. it's also typically very uncommon for them to wear revealing clothing. if they aren't wearing professional, or flowy elegant clothing, you bet they're gonna be wearing something that's very fashionable. jewelry is extremely common for them. fashion snobs, basically.
Ridgeback:
typical height range: 6′2″ - 6′8″
horns (sometimes all three sets, sometimes only two, rarely only one. nose horn is still there, but it's always much shorter. chin horn is also there)
spines
ears are relatively small, but pointy
backwards arm/leg claws (or whatever they are)
arm... wing connecty things?? idk what they're called. (this bit)
neck, shoulder, arm and leg spines
pretty muscular! but they can vary pretty widely. both thin and fat ridgebacks are common
hair is typically short, normally not going past the chin.
clothing varies, but is often minimal and/or loose-fitting because they just have too many bits that clothes can get caught on in their semi-gijinka forms. most clothes have to be custom made to have holes where spines and stuff go. clothes tend to be very dirty. whether because of digging or because of disliking water so much that they refuse to wash their clothes... who knows.
Snapper:
typical height range: 5′6″ - 6′4″
horns (all of them)
blunt nails, rather than claws
jagged mouths (often kept in full-gijinka form)
small ears (Snappers have the most human-like ears. bc their ears are TINY)
warty lookin' bits. idk what they are (these)
ALWAYS very thickly built. skinny Snappers do not exist. they are all muscular and fat. some may be more fat than muscle, but they are not skinny. they are naturally heavy and stocky
hair is typically short
often wear clothes that are good for traveling in. lots of pockets, lots of bags. tend to prefer lighter clothing, like tank tops and capris. their preferred pants tend to be cargo pants, due to the extra pockets. if they wear jackets, they're typically wrapped around the waist rather than worn. think desert outfits. that kinda aesthetic.
Spiral:
typical height range: 4′6″ - 5′1″
horns
all six wings
ears stay the same as their dragon forms, though some may be a bit longer
thin and lanky! some may have a bit of lean muscle, but they don't normally get overly muscular. they’re a naturally more thin breed, and with constant movement, they don’t tend to put on fat very easily. but it’s not impossible! chunky spirals do exist
hair tends to be short and semi-messy (mostly due to constant movement). if the hair is longer, it's typically held up in a ponytail
tend to wear light, easy to move in clothes. also flowy things because they just seem like dragons that would love things that flow. so, long ribbons, scarves, cloaks, capes, jackets, etc. tend to only wear sleeveless things, and in their semi-gijinka forms, wear pants that show their leg wings. so pants with gaps where the wings are, shorts, kilts, etc. in their full-gijinka form, they may wear full pants, but they still tend to wear sleeveless things. clothing is often colorful!
Veilspun:
typical height range: 3′10″ - 4′5″
whiskers
those weird spiky bits (on the cheeks, chin and hind legs)
ears are pretty much identical to their dragon forms
very small and thin, pretty similar to Fae, but they more easily put on muscle
hair is always VERY long. typically mid-back and below. it’s normally pretty straight and thin, but it can be curly and/or thick
typically wear pretty light clothing so they can easily move around. they do like wearing cloaks and hoods though, to keep them even better hidden. ponchos are also pretty popular, especially poncho capes. they also have a love for masks, and will often wear masks to conceal their identities. their clothing is most typically dark, or colors that would help them blend into their surroundings
UNCOMMON
Bogsneak:
typical height range: 5′7″ - 6′0″
crests
ears tend to be small and fin-like
long tongues
teeth that stick out of mouth (this tends to stay in full-gijinka form)
tend to have toe beans on hands and feet
warty lookin' bits
chunky! they're naturally rather chunky, so skinny Bogsneaks pretty much don't exist (they do, it’s just very, very rare). they don't tend to put on much muscle either.
hair varies, but often looks messy and/or greasy.
really, just google swamp outfits and swamp druid. that's pretty much it. swampy stuff. their clothes are almost always dirty/muddy
Obelisk:
typical height range:  5'11" - 6'5"
horns
often have toe beans on their hands and feet
underbite (often stays in full-gijinka form)
ears look like how they do in their dragon forms
BUILT. lots and lots of muscle, especially in the chest and arms. muscle dragons with anxiety
VERY thick hair, p much always have manes. (full-gijinka forms tend to keep the manes, as well as having a lot of hair on their arms and legs
hair is ALWAYS curly, never straight
they very rarely have short hair, it's pretty much always long and floofy
can still turn to stone, even in full-gijinka form
idk about clothes yet. probably warrior-esque? I imagine they’re either decked out in armor or wearing comfy sweaters, without much in between. otherwise they tend to copy the dragons around them, so they’ll wear whatever is most popular in their clan
Skydancer:
typical height range: 5′0″ - 5′6″
horns
crest
ears aren't overly big, but are slightly pointed.
fur going down back and on arms/legs
gem thing and antennae (gem stays, even in full-gijinka form)
often have toe beans on hands and feet
typically rather lean and slender, but not normally as thin as Spirals
hair tends to be somewhat long or pretty short. not much of an in between. it tends to either be below the shoulders or above the chin.
tend to wear flowy clothes, or clothes that are easy to move and dance in. clothing is often elegant or playful. 
casual is a funky thing with them. they typically won't wear hoodies, but they'll wear crop tops, or a bra-like shirt (or just a bra for those who wear them) with yoga pants. googling dancer outfit is pretty helpful. most of the different styles on there would work. they also tend to wear jewelry.
LIMITED
Imperial:
typical height range: 6'4" - 6'10", occasionally can reach up to 7'! (important notes for emperors: they can easily hit 10′ or more)
antlers
ears typically stay the same as their dragon form
mane
fur on arms and legs
scaly bits on nose, forearms and back legs
whiskers
often rather lanky, but with muscle. it varies from Imperial to Imperial, but lean muscle is most common
hair is typically very long, very rarely being above the mid-back. always at least wavy, but curly hair is pretty common with imps. it's not uncommon for imps to pull their hair up, typically in elegant buns, often with braids. for those able to grow beards, beards are also pretty common
tend to wear very elegant outfits. like Pearlcatchers, but more... royal? cloaks, mantles, etc are very common. also common are warrior outfits! kilts aren't too uncommon with warrior outfits, but may be seen in normal outfits too. jewelry is very common
Nocturne:
typical height range: 5′1″ - 5′7″
horns
spines
ears tend to be somewhat small, but spiky
jagged mouths (tends to stay in full-gijinka form)
neck frill?? whatever it is
tend to be semi-muscular with some chub
hair and clothes greatly vary, as they tend to mimic the style around them. typically, they mimic the style of the breed that is most prevalent in their clan, but they often still swap it up. 
if there are no other breeds in their clan, they often choose clothes that will keep them well hidden. they're more likely to choose clothes with a lot of covering. cloaks, hoods, hats, gloves, etc.
RARE
Coatl:
5′9″ - 6′3″
crest
ears tend to be small but pointed
long tongues
fangs (these stay even in full-gijinka form)
the... fluffy bit on their chest. idk what it's called
tend to be at least somewhat muscular, with some chub. their arms tend to be more muscular than their legs
hair is typically medium or long length, and pony tails are rather common. hair tends to be wavy or curly. Coatls with naturally straight hair are uncommon.
clothing tends to vary, but is often rather colorful (colorless Coatls especially tend to wear very bright and colorful clothes). semi-professional clothes aren't uncommon. due to living in a hotter environment, they do tend to lean more towards light clothing. Coatls living outside of their warm home often wear relatively heavy clothing. sweaters, jackets and scarves are pretty common. metal jewelry is rather common, and is often hand-crafted. piercings are also rather common. also any clothes that incorporate feathers, Coatls tend to be drawn towards
Wildclaw:
typical height range: 5′4″ - 5′10″
horns
crest
despite their dragon form having very tiny ears, their gijinka forms tend to have average to long, pointed ears.
raptor claw (this tends to mostly stay in their full-gijinka form, it's much smaller, but it's there)
muscular! most commonly lean muscle, but it's not uncommon for them to have more muscle
hair length varies, but it tends to be somewhat messy. warrior hair styles are extremely common
clothing greatly varies, but hunting and warrior outfits are rather common. bones are commonly used in outfits (the birdskull apparel is pretty common). if shoes are worn in their semi-gijinka form, they are never closed-toe, because... y'know, there's a giant claw there? clothes that restrict movement are almost never worn. it's not uncommon for linen wraps/bandages to make up most of the outfit. jewelry isn't overly common, unless the jewelry is made of bones or is some sort of trophy

visible in full-gijinka form, often adds darker tips to hair. (sometimes lighter streaks as well)
Facet:
sometimes visible in full-gijinka form, making the hair crystalized
Fissure:
often stays in full-gijinka form, making the hair rigid and rock-like.
Flair:
visible in full-gijinka form as colored gradients and sparkles (like on obelisks!), or just as colored gradients (like on most other breeds). may add streaks of color as well
Hawkmoth:
visible in full-gijinka form as a gradient with dark streaks (as seen in their dragon form), may also add streaks of color
Hex:
visible in full-gijinka form, adds streaks
Loop:
visible in full-gijinka form, adds a dark gradient to the top and lighter tips + horizontal streaks
Marbled:
visible in full-gijinka form, adds gradient, splotches of color and dark streaks (not the dark around the splotches, only the streaks, like in the manes of Tundras)

appears on full-gijinka form, giving the hair white splotches. occasionally will appear on skin as well as vitiligo, even without the presence of piebald (like in Carver's case)
Patchwork:
typically, a dragon with this gene cannot switch forms as the dragon would be artificially created. however, in dragons that have been cursed/haunted by a being with magical capabilities, depending on the strength, they may be able to switch to a full-gijinka form. in this case, their hair will not actually be patchwork, but will be yarn-like in texture and multicolored

Sarcophagus:
either appears as a black gradient on the pre-existing color, or makes the hair primarily black, with occasional streaks of the color underneath

Web:
visible in full gijinka form, adds darker (sometimes lighter) tips with a scale-like pattern that goes up (looks the same as it does in dragon form) (in cases of abyss web, hair is completely white)
TERTIARIES
most of these don’t have any special notes and only say visible in full-gijinka form because I couldn’t think of anything else to say about the gene jhkdl

sometimes still visible in full-gijinka form
Filigree:
still visible in full-gijinka form
Firefly:
gene is still visible in full-gijinka form. this gene is really just having firefly buddies following you around, not... an actual gene.
Flecks:
normally still included in full-gijinka form
Frills:
not typically visible in full-gijinka form, but may instead affect the hair by adding streaks and gradients. if it is still visible, it typically only shows up on the arms, and much smaller versions on the cheeks. may affect hair texture as well.
Gembond:
often still visible in full-gijinka form (due to being a disease) dragons that are born with it, rather than contracted it, may be able to hide it in their full-gijinka form (like Jigsaw)
Ghost:
sometimes still visible in full-gijinka form, occasionally will take a more physical form, like skeletal
Gnarlhorns:
in full-gijinka forms, gnarlhorns is still somewhat visible in the claws and teeth. two upwards facing fangs/tusks (like in orcs) replace the two horns on the mouth
Jewels:
often still visible in full-gijinka form
Keel:
sometimes still visible in full-gijinka form (since I tend to use it as a disease, like gembond)

Kumo:
normally still visible in full-gijinka form
Mop:
always visible in full-gijinka form

normally still visible in full-gijinka form
Opal:
often still visible in full-gijinka form. in dragons where the opal is crystalized pockets of magic (like Enigma), or the opal was cursed upon them, it is always visible, regardless of form. other dragons may not exibit it in a full-gijinka form. others, it only appears in certain areas or may take form as just a color/gradient, not as crystalized spots (typically the hair (like Icarus, his hair has light blue streaks))
Points:
almost always still visible in full-gijinka form, appears as it would on their dragon form, though the colors may be duller

runes are still visible in a full-gijinka form
Skeletal:
bones are often still visible in a full-gijinka form.
Smoke:
smoke may take a more line-breaking form in some dragons, where they are constantly surrounded by swirls of smoke. in cases like this, it’s completely visible in full-gijinka form. otherwise, it tends to appear as eyeliner/eye shadow, and some other marks may still appear on the skin as well
Soap:
may still be visible in full-gijinka form. appears just as it would on their dragon form
Spines:
dragons with spines often wear loose-fitting clothes, or clothes with openings where the spines are
sometimes is visible in full-gijinka form

sometimes still visible in full-gijinka form
Thylacine:
may be visible in full-gijinka form as war-paint, streaks in the hair, and/or eyeliner
Veined:

Wintercoat:
hair becomes even thicker
dragons with wintercoat can still wear clothes, but they often wear very loose fitting clothes due to the thickness of the gene
Wraith:
may still be visible in full-gijinka form
