Ooh I like how it’s shaping up. A couple minor nitpicks though: -could you layer the strand on the left behind the neck fluff and a little to the left so it peeks out a bit more instead? -could we try a version where the flower chains hang a lil longer? o: Like maybe vertically reflect the ancient stone lantern item and use the longer side to do the draping over the shoulder?

okay woo we now have proper colors, what do you think? :) i can lighten/darken anything & don't mind if anything is a little jagged if you zoom in, i adjust that after!

i'll go back to your stone lamp notes once we have colors settled :) (unless it'd help with color choice!)

Thanks for getting back to me :)

Hmm color me bad at colorpicking--I didn't quite expect the olive-y tones to translate so strongly in the colors I chose. I was hoping to stay more in the softer/dustier goldy-cream realm of things that are paler, to kind of harmonize better with the stone lamp flowers--so more like the in progress version you had with the stone lamp hmm.

I can't say that I'm a super big fan of how the accent stripe on the body vs the legs/tail are different colors--can we try to keep those colors consistent with each other? I do like having both the green and the coral look together in the palette tho hmm... we could do the stripes in green and those flank dapples that you left as white in coral maybe?

Ack I feel bad for being so nitpicky! D: Ty for bearing w me haha

Omg no worries, not nitpicky at all - it has to be 100% what you want! :P I don't think lightening them individually would help the overall look much, but can and show you if wanted! :)

Bigger version for color detail, when looking at this one - is there anything you'd want to try differently? Body lighter, or some green somewhere etc.? ^^ Or want me to make the stone lamp adjustments on this color & see what you think first? ^^

beep beep just saw your edit, doing that now =p

Hmm I like the tone depth in this one a lot. Also like how that soft coral looks in this palette :)

Part of me does like the interplay between the warm and cool in this one even tho I didn't plan for that like At All so it might be good to keep this one off to the side as we go forward...

Could we do the coat color less greige-toned taupe and more of a warmer gold/cream undertone? I also think I would want the goatee (what other word is there for that lil chin tufty haha)/mane/tail base tuft/back of leg tufts to be more of a warm tan-brown than gray.

This might be a little bit silly, but could we do those lower stripe bands on the back legs in that green in the colored version you did? Maybe do the horn tips in that green too (but not as gray down the green as much as it was in the colored version)?

Ah once again, thanks!

Will do! c:

ideas

^are any of these more of the warm gold/cream? or actually, do you have an site item example(s) of the color(s) you want? ^^ especially for getting a 'warmer' color, might be better to color pick from something that is that shade (with less pixels, the background has a ton)! we'll get the right colors, just takes a little bit :D

below is an actual random assortment, trying to get to the right color(s)! i can mix & match everything, if anything is in the right direction (i didn't do all the details on each one) - no worries if not!

ooh ooh ooh alright let's talk.

that first, third, and fourth ones you got in the spoiler? gorgeous. fourth one is a lil dark for what I was looking for, so it's really between 1 and 3.

I think I'm personally leaning toward the first one the most--I'm honestly really happy with it haha. That main coat color is gorgeous, total chef’s kiss o: One of the only things I have to note here is can we push the green to pop a lil more? Love the color and tone you picked, I just want it to be a little more distinct bc I worry that once the image is smaller that it'll be leaning a little into the blink too hard and you'll miss it territory. Can we go more like the stripe in but keep the green a little brighter than that iteration? The other thing is can we push the darker tans just a couple shades lighter? o: We’re so close to nailing it haha :)

eeee yay getting close then ^____^ what about now? - greens edition! c: (old for comparison)

That last one just about nails it :) I do wanna point out tho that the back leg bands got kinda wonky in that version it seems, but I assume that’ll be easy enough to fix haha.

yay!! c: yeah don't mind any wonky stuff!! really just wanted the colors right n now i'll go clean it up!! and do stone lamp edits!

ps do you want goatee or no goatee? c: (random but i do this for my neelas :P)

Hahaha you think of everything—I totally would not have thought to think of that. Let’s go no goatee! :)

Hiya, how's this? :) Also - eye color? Brown right now! I flipped the left stone lamp to the right but also kept them similar-ish in length like a scarf? i can raise/lower either side tho! :) also didn't forget the dapples..!

Ooh dapple edits o: Hmm I like the colored dapples but do you think we could try to push them even lighter than ? Sorry to be so picky!

I'm liking the length here! Hmm I def like the left side but I think I liked the way the stone lamp right side lay on the shoulder/neck in the first set of stone lamp edits... I feel like they looked a lil more seamless than the broken up/staggered setup you have going. Would that be possible to replicate having a cluster of flowers where the "scarf" would emerge on that side?

ALSO OOH HAPPY SUBETAVERSARY

lighter dapples =d (not picky!! :P) let's see with the original flower! if it's too big i'll swap it out with another ^^

thaaaank ^___^

Eyyyyy I like it :D I think that's her!

Also ooh I realize I didn't reply on eye colors--brown is just fine :)

Lemme know how much I owe you and point me to a trade haha

Yayyy we did it :D She's finished: Trade Lot she's 100 csc, thank you! c:

ooh yay--you will not believe how fast i slammed this puppy into the custom overlay portal haha

AA yay she looks amazing with her profile!! :D

we have sorceress snakeeeeeeee (thank u i am now obsessed with hairless serpenth and need to make a serpenth 😂 )

big imgs if it's helpful

ignore anything messy =p

i think the eye looks evil enough on its own? :0 i'll add an eyeliner version after the wig or wig removal decision :D

Omg I love the hairless one!! <3 It looks amazing, also I love how you made the circle on the head, makes it look magic/mystic too. And yeah without the reborn colors the eyes do look evil! But let me know abut the eyeliner/lash if it makes her a bit more feminine c: Love how the wings are, that's exactly what I thought! (also welcome to the bald snek club, I'll be your guide 😎)

edit: oh I just had an idea, what if the spot on the head/forehead(?) could have a glow animation? like the color of the storm rays, do you think would look good? c: (if she could blink also, it would look nice but feel free to add the animations by the end of it)

hahaha for sure!! n___n now to decide whoooooo to turn snek!! yayyy ❤ what about this? if it's too dark because it's black, i can make it the darker blue! ^^ and i can make it longer/any other way! the wings look so cool ^__^ (darker liner - less dark liner) and i'll do the animations later :D
