Post by Xeide »

I am finishing my fursona dutch angel dragon Xeide but i don't know what color to make the main body. If anyone can help, please make a copy of Xeide and help me finish up Xeide. Fyi the light and dark grey parts are the ones that need color. Image

:o Extremely well done!

I can't really help with colour, because I have a camouflage bias. The current colour scheme will blend with clouds and snow. Thus I don't think it has to change.

You can be proud.

I was really looking forward for someone to finding a body color for Xeide but thanks though

Orange did cross my mind. But it has to be a fitting shade. The wrong one could make you look like a pumpkin or you had a bad spray tan.

Well, she is a Dutch Angel Dragon, so orange might work on multiple levels. A two-toned orange might be nice, too, starting dark at the bottom and lightening to a more yellowish shade at the top, maybe give it a "sunset" vibe.

That's not why they're called Dutch.

But then what do you call a regular Angel Dragon that just so happens to be from the Netherlands? A non-Dutch Dutch Angel Dragon? o.O
And what about a Dutch Angel Dragon that is from the Netherlands? A Dutch Dutch Angel Dragon? @.@

Okay so I cleaned up the sketch and colourised the grey bits. I tried a few different versions; it's all layer-based so I can change it easily if none of these strike a chord, just request a colour. :)

Nature can also be a source of inspiration. I'm using this Grey-hooded kingfisher since it sort of has the fixed colours and orange as mentioned above.

Wonderful job Xeide, I really like your picture.
It's not going to be nearly as clean as Leeward's, but I decided to have a quick go at attempting to do some color.
I liked the orange suggestion, and I'm inclined to think it looks pretty good (my own awful inconsistencies aside):
download/file.php?mode=view&id=7918
But I'm a huge fan of the combination of orange and blue. Other suggestion I might have would probably include yellow, or maybe red.
But what are you thinking? Do you have any inclination to more warm colors or towards cooler colors? I kind of like the contrast that a warmer base color might have with the blue already present, but I could understand preferring something that might be more complimentary instead. What do you think?

Perfect colour vision is both a blessing and a curse... Vague descriptions of colours are one of my biggest pet peeves.
