Flutterby Kitten Melos

Fly away with me...

x

I remember that the .psd for the second one was frightening.

 

I don't remember a lot of specifics for this one, and maybe if I did I'd remember why I changed the kitty one's eyes to the re-outlined version I made there. I can say I went with one to look like a kitty, and one like a butterfly, since the one had the kitty head, the other had the kitty tail. The red... I believed it just looked better, and back then there was a lot less strictness on what we could and could not do with color. I took another liberty by chopping the white (now black) face marking into a mask, as it just looked so cool to make her into a superhero. 

Rainbowchip Cyborg Nomtail Jiao

Taste the rainbow... circuits...

 The right is unusually edited for a jiao. Breeders seem to be afraid of editing this species.

 

Never say I skimp on the edits. (BC, LBC, or otherwise xP) I rather like how I used the existing colors to make I actually ended up painting on the microchip markings onto the tail. It was just so much easier to do than to attempt to duplicate and rotate the existing markings. I locked the transparency, and overlaid a rainbow gradient. Whala! Rainbow cyborgchips. Gold is a much bigger pain to make from silver than vice versa. In order to get a good gold, you need a mustardy yellow, a brown shading, and a really overdone highlight. Sometimes a midtone of red in there is good too, but wasn't necessary in this case, with the black body. 

Barfytail Melos

Oh look, a rainbow! H-h-huuuurghulrghhhhhhh

x

I love barfing melos.

 

Soo, if there's three, I feasibly can't give them ALL foofy tails and barf streams. *sigh* But, I think I compensated pretty well with the gigantic tongue and little weeeny eyes. The barfing tail required a bit of shift-drag smudging to keep the rainbow perfectly straight, and an ounce of line redraw along the edges of it. The puking blood I thought was necessary, but still disturbs me even now. (I don't think he's going to make it) Fortunately both parents had a .psd, and so all three babies got the body patterns, but I don't like boring. Boring is well, boring. 

Abominable Cheetah Oskes

What's really fast, really fluffy, and has pointy, pointy teeth...

 I always hope site pet breedings like this are someone's first breeding, and try extra extra hard to make them awesome.

 

And I feel that I came through with that. :P It wasn't their first breeding, but its still a nice thought anyway. I am so pleased with how these two came out, both getting the mane, floofs, and tail, but its a site pet breeding, lets not be boring-er than we have to be. I took a guess that since they bred two pets with naturalish patterns, that they'd want naturalish colors over eyebleeding ones. 

Earrie Puppyfoot Soli

I can heeeear yoooou....

x

 D'aww look at the little feeeet.

 

The ears and foot are just too cute, so I kept them for both. To make up for it, I made sure no other edits were the same between them, from the eyes, shells, scales, jewelry, claws, and the collar, all evenly split. They both are brown, so both babies are brown. I diiid play a little and make the dark spots from the female parent into sparkles on the second babby. 

Carrotwing Kyres

So I went a little crazy with the superglue and...

x

So, no .psd for either parent. Fun fun fun.

 

Where did the yellow come from? Probably an hour of trying to glean the patterns out of both parents without just straight up hueshifting. Isn't it pretty though? The second one's colors are pretty urk, but when you put a green parent and an orange parent together... well.. a green and orange babby isn't unheard of. I remember masking out those circles by hand... just to have a body pattern. Did you even NOTICE the circles on the orange kyre before? After futzing with levels and hues and whatnot to try to pull what I could, you can see them there. urf. 

Metal Plate Jiaos

Need a jump?

x

Not particularly edited jiaos, so a fairly simple breeding.

 

So, lets not be boring. They only have one edit apiece, so lets walk on the wild side and give them both mohawks and electricity. Lets switch the colors up a bit... switch the plated dots around... Well. What else do I say. Not really a complicated pairing. xD 

Zombie Construct Paleo

Subtitle lololol

x

Ugh, I hate that grody paleo.

 

Well, you wanted a gross zombie thing... there. Gross zombie thing. Ew. I lopped off the wings, replaced with the other wings, gave it a blood red eye, and whala. Yuckytown. Fortunately the first parent had a .psd, or I would've wept a little harder on this one. 

Sassy Kitty Melos

No, my bangs don't bother me. I don't look up that often.

x

 Somewhat unusual pairing, but I had some good ideas for color scheme.

 

I think I may have had to go several generations back to get the body pattern for that first babby. Soo, yuo may notice both got the full head edit. Why? I don't believe in putting more unwanted babies out on the market if I can help it. Default-face melos are very hard to sell, so why not go with the cuter option if its there? I did mix it up agreeably, so I feel these are still a valid mix. The first babby is sans the tail and bow, and has the winged parent's colors and pattern. The other babby is more similar to mommy, but has the wingy edits and a light overlay of the pattern as well. 

Cyberpunk Quol

We have arrived unto the future and it has become... suparsonic... elektronic...

x

So a cyborg and a punk rockstar from the 80's, could be interesting

 

Where did the green come from? Uh... the... blue.. and orange! That's it. >> Ok, its mostly feasible, and what says techy like cyan, jade, and purple? Both get the leg and mane edit. Why? Nobody wants boring quol babies. Face it, they just look unadorned with a default face and head, and having four legs makes them more desirable. I seem to remember both .psds being a nightmare. Funny how these things stay with you.
