Re: Miscellaneous skin mash-ups
The most surprising of those is the green and pink wasp. The colors are so very bright and obscene, yet I can't help but love it. I would totally rock a pink and black fel boar, I love the little lavender face on the monkey, the gray spore bat has an awesome deathly look to it, and the dark red core hound is just plain wicked.
These are all so cool!!!

Re: Miscellaneous skin mash-ups
But there's a reason I've only posted a few up till now.
Unfortunately it seems that sporebat skins are somewhat low in quality. If you split them into individual colour channels, parts of the red and blue ones come out ugly and pixellated. This seems to be mostly hidden in the three sporebats that exist in database, but if you blend the colour channels in such a way that a pixellated channel becomes prominent then it becomes obvious. Sometimes really badly. You can see this with a really simple colour channel swap on the skin. I don't know why this is, but I can only guess someone screwed up a bit when the skins were assembled and performed some low res. transformations. Who knows? No other skins I've seen display this problem.
Anyway, despite all this, I've decided to post some more. The pixellation isn't very obvious on the small images anyway. If only the skins were higher quality they could be amazing. As it is, they're still lovely to look at and give an impression of just how diverse sporebats could really be...
(BTW, the back of each colour is to the right of its full body shot. It's probably best if you resize your browser window so that the images are in multiples of two across )

Re: Miscellaneous skin mash-ups
It's interesting that the dark purple skin with red markings has a completely different back pattern to the other three in-game ones. Unfortunately it means you can't really mix it up with the other skins because the patterns overlap and look kinda messy and weird. But I can swap the colour channels around within the same skin and get some interesting results:
This is also the only skin that has brightly-coloured legs, so when you swap the colour channels around you get even more colourful legs. But they probably aren't any worse than the original.
The rest of the colours here are generated from one or more of the other three skins (mostly using channels from all three skins at once).
First some really striking shadowed ones. The first purple one is my favourite by far:
A sunburnt one:
And a range of other bright colours that have never seen the light of Azeroth:
