1 Eye 2 Eyes 3 Eyes...

I seeee yooou....

Eyeclops Oakls



A nifty 3-babby pair. I had a lot of fun with this one :)


These three were a very interesting trio. One eye on one babby, two, and a third eye for the last! I think pretty clever, I hope they don't mind.

As for painting, the first and last required a bit. The first needed some additional highlight striping for the chest and tail, as well as a dark line for the tail mimicking that of the inner stripe on the tiger-striped parent, which also served to keep the tail from blending too much from the body. On the third babby I colored in the mini-spots as well as a line of dots along the throat like the demon parent, plus a few extra to meet the extra lining of the tiger parent.

All three ended up with stripes... because I liked them :P On the second babby, I took the cyclops eye and fit it over the normal Oakl eyes. The only babby to get a somewhat different color was the grey, as I'm tryyying to not go too crazy overboard with colors.

A couple of Kyre's

So here we have a very lovely Kyre pair:

+

I adore the first one, as Cobweb Soli are my favorite site pet :3. The second one HAS a .psd... but... all of the colors are merged onto one layer x_x... Its almost like having no .psd, but it is better since I don't have the shading/highlights/lineart duplicated, so it still makes my life a little easier.



So, as we are told to do, if one babby- many edits, if two- split the edits. Flowers to the first babby, wings to the second. Really all the second parent had to offer is colors, so thats most of what I gave the first babby, with the nice speckling and mane highlights of the first parent. I played with the levels and lightened the body color so as to pull it away some from the color of the purple parent. I didn't intend for both babbys to be light, but the second one didn't look nearly as nice in a bold purple, and the first looked far too much like it's parent.

I may go back and change the flowers a bit on the first babby.

Oskes

I'm in a really terrible mood. Work was awful, and I've just gone behind the deadline to get real cash for my list... blaaaah..

Lets do some Oskes.

&

The first Oske might as well have not had a .psd, since the layers were merged all over the place and in really weird ways. The lines for the eyes in the hair and the necklace had lines for the mouth... anywhere that was painted was merged... I eventually just cut her into pieces and put the pieces into folders.



Since the eyes were part of the hair, I had to give the first one new eyes. I altered original Oske eyes to be as close in shape as the original, and painted in a bit of eyelash so it looked less like a crossdresser. I thought I was pretty clever to make the armbands into bracelets xP. I painted in the missing halves of the necklace too.

The second one I did a bit of painting in the hair to emulate the hair paint on the other one, which I think jazzed it up nicely. They're very PINK and BLOO, but I hope that's ok. The pink one is probably considerably more girly than they wanted, I hope they don't hate it ;_;

B&W Rions

Whew! Now time for a good simple fun one ^^

So, MBC babby Rions go:

+

Uuuh, so you know I can't just swap the eyes/manes right? WAY too boring.



I couldn't give them tiger stripes or anything, but I think some simple markings really help them become the gorgeous lions they could be, without pushing it to unreasonable breeding standards. The first babby got black paws/nose/ear tips, and some blue eye glow. I also put a bit of grey into the body to give it more depth, and well, it came from black and white, so grey shouldn't be a problem! I went a bit more wild with the second babby's coloring (as I often do), and bumped up the saturation on the mane by a lot. I then gave a grey (with a hint of cyan) body, jade eyes, and added a bit of freckling to give a bit more of the other color to the body.

If they aren't thrilled with these babbys, then they're boring xP (or else just don't like cyan, but oh well)

Slashfest

Hooraaaay! Finally a new list!! :D :D

Asked for a double list, and ended up with a list that had been done and lost, so skip the first half.. and on to the second!

I ended up with 7 of Slash's pairs xD so, to kick off this list, the pair I call

Skullduggery

Well, more what I call the babbys, since the first parent isn't skully.

+

So all of Slash's melos have very clean, easy-to-edit .psd's, so I'm a bit spoiled this round xD It also invites laziness, so I worked very hard to resist and make sure they weren't some boring mash-ups.



The first is a reaper getting on with his trendy side. I gave him a slightly brownish hint to pull out the spiral detail, and also to meld with the gold I chose for the accessories. I even gave him a gold scythe ^^. The second is the darkworld version of the blue. :3 For color I punched up the saturation and lowered the darkness, and since Slash has a bazillion of those scarf melos, I decided to change it up and make it into a collar-ish thing. Both melos required some heavy editing to get their tails detailed like their opposite parents (up bones and down fur detail). If you want to try this, do transform-warp, mush it around till it looks right, then hit sharpen until its crisp. (unfortunately that only really works well with solid colors)

And on to the next pair:

Oh oh it's magic...

+

The purple one actually has some unique traits from the scarf-glasses mob, so I decided to play them up.



The first I was going for sort of a blood elf warlock sort of thing. (that's what the markings on red made me think of, for all you other WoW geeks out there) Since I just did two skullyfaces on the last pair of babbys, I opted to not use the skully face on this one. There are two other pairings with the black reaper, so I'm not worried about there being not enough skullyface babbys. In both babbys I echoed the pink to yellow gradient of the markings into the hair and legs, as well as the tiger stripes of the second one. Both collar clips went gold to match the earrings, and a simple mix and match for the rest.

And another...

Bionic Gladiators

+

A bit of a challenge. No .psd for bionic, but the parts are fairly easy to cut out, and the blood is easy to overlay since it's on white.



the first is a very straightforward breeding. I lightened the black body white, overlaid blood, cut out parts. The most surgery was just moving around the pupil, removing the skull on the scythe, and painting a little blood over the eye. On the second one.. it's probably frowned on to paint in all that extra blood, but it just needed something. Painted in a connection from the earpiece to the skull. I used the dark bionic for a more forgiving cutout, the only small difference being the bubbles in the arm tube are in a slightly different place.

and another...

Snow cool

The final skullyface pairing.

+

I have to admit, I'm running out of ideas on what to do with these skullyfaces. I don't want them all to have the same traits, but its impossible to not have a handful of similar ones.



What bothers me the most is how similar the babbys are. The problem is, I didn't want to duplicate the very first babby in this post. I like each babby in it's own right though. On their own, I like the choices I made, so I suppose I'll stick with these for now. The only magic I had to pull was warping and painting the swirly design to make the first babbys tail. If I get some inspiration on how to keep them looking nice, but make them more unique, I'll do one of them over.

aaaand another one...

Rainbow Bright

+

Yet another scarfy melo. This time, I went a little crazy xD



So I had a novel idea... what... if we put... the glasses........... on its face?!?!?! So I did. I hope Slash doesn't hate it, but I can't stand a million clones, so if you want boring straight-up swaps, ask for a different breeder! xP

Nothing especially complicated about these apart from rainbow overlays.

EDIT:

I decided babby #2 was puking one too many rainbows, and revisited him:


I think he looks a little more together now. Before he was like *RAINBOW GRADIENT BLURGH* so now he's a little calmer and slightly more badass.


And anoooooother....

Tigah Tigah Tigah

+

So I guess when you breed two parents with glasses and scarves... then you probably want babbys with glasses and scarves.



So glasses and scarves they have. I morphed the markings on the first parent's tail to fit the second, and just played around with the many markings these two have. I painted in the black part of the first babby's hair, and added some extra tiger stripes to the second.

EDIT:
So I've revisited babby 2:



And I am liking him better now. I fixed several mistakes and painted a dark tail tip, and added some stripes on his ears.

aaaaand finallyyyyyy.....

Slash is going to kill me

So, yet another scarf/glasses combo.

+

and so two more babbys.



I really like the jade one, not gonna lie. It just has a nice bit of contrast, and I like how the patterns intermix. I didn't do anything special with it besides some rainbow glasses and tail stripe.

Aaaaand... since a whole bunch of the babbys I did are puking rainbows... I did a grey one. It had a grey mommy, and I think it looks nice. and then.... I did the unthinkable..... I FLIPPED THE GLASSES. AHHHHHHH!!!! I flipped the part that goes on the nose so it actually sits on the nose, and did some tinting... but I can't help but wonder if Slash is going to hate it. He put [mini hiatus] on his name, so he probably won't respond before I submit. Ooooooo welll ^^;;;;

Babbys, Christmas, and BC's

So I just did my own breeding :3

My lovely Prongs (I made him), with Perfy's gorgeous Daisy.

&

Here were my results:



As per what I often do, the first is a fairly predictable mixture, and the second is more of me pushing the envelope to get some un-cloney babbys. I probably should've mixed them up a little more, but I just couldn't give up the hair or antlers... I couldn't give up the wings either, but at least I did shrink them for the second babby xD Daisy's spots are actually overlaid on the second babby, its subtle, but it gives her nice texture. Solid spots just looked out of place with the fairy-deer sort of thing.

I think they came out gorgeous, and I'll love them dearly.

I also submitted two BC breedings. I haven't applied as a BC breeder, so I'm leaving these to the mercy of the breeding system and hoping dearly for Skitty or Balu, who do AMAZING feathers and fur.

First is my Isolder and my Prongs. (both by me ^^)

&

Hoping for some antlered-woofy quetzals :3

Second is my Prongs and Atha's Noctua

&

Wanting some very saxxy antlere'd feathery griffons. ^^

Prongs is quite the pimp xD

Oh! Almost forgot!! Two of my pets accepted for the December shops!!



Also, I have three more that I entered, and Slash said that "a couple of them" were going to be in the Holiday Forest!! No idea which ones, but I really hope one of them is the Oakl @.@
