Crabby combinations and mothy melanges

[Wain]

So... this is my insane attempt to document all possible combinations of spiky crab skin colours (UPDATE:) and moth wing/body combos!

As you may know, the spiky ('deepseacrab') crab model can take two skins. The creators intended this so that you can define a base colour (red, green, blue, black, orange) and a fluorescent markings colour (blue, purple or none). But someone (Clever Mr. Feasel I believe) discovered you can use other colours in the markings slot and get all sorts of cool and freaky combos. Hence some of the crabs we've seen in MoP.

Anyway, here's the full table. Click on a thumb to see the full pic.

Any moth body may also be combined with any wing colour. There are a number already in the game that are mixtures like these. Note that I've used the official skin names, which is explains why the "red" wings are actually green and "lavendar" is spelled incorrectly.

Clearly some work better than others, but I've included them all for completeness.

They actually weren't all that hard to generate once I got a system of copying and pasting going

Wow just dude pat yourself on the back because that's a lot of work you did there!

[Vephriel]

Awesome work Wain, as always! Loving the look of this one:

Do you feel it Mister Krabs?
XD sorry.
Those are some pretty crabbies! I never really had much of an interest in them... But some of those colors are amazing @_@
Great work, by the way! Looks like this took a while.

[Wain]

Thanks guys It wasn't quite as bad as it looked. I needed to get some combos done for here and for the people over at Warcraft Pets, and I decided to finally bite the bullet and do all of them. No knowing which combos will appear next and I don't want to have to keep trying to remember how to generate those pics.

[Wain]

OK, just added all the moth mixtures as well. I'd done this once before, but not since all the new ones were added. I needed some shots for here and for the folks at WCP.

Some are rather cool!

If I had a green1-orange2 crab, I would name it hushpuppy. Ghost1-blue2 is also very nice. I'd maybe switch my crab to an orange/red combination, depending one what they looked like in game (lighting and such).

Beige wings and lavender wings look good on a lot of those bodies. Luckily, the combos that interest me are already on npcs. Cyan-cyan, named Wordperfect, or a red/white winged moth (now that I look at it, a white body would match those great, but the existing redwhite body isn't bad).

Good work, btw. Who doesn't love charts with pictures?
