That's it for tonight. I still wanna make a nice yellow and a nice coffee brown, but I couldn't manage it in time this evening. So hopefully I'll post more

*twitch* Those are HOT, Wain!

Ahh, serpents you have so much potential!

These are stunning! I love the stark contrast between the black and the bright stripes. They're gorgeous!


You're teasing me on purpose Wain!


Reptilians are so fun to alter since they have nearly unlimited colour palettes that they could use.

I like how the blue fins on the olive green look like sky.

I have a request if you dont mind
I would personally love to see some mana wyrm recolors if you dont mind

I really love the serpent recolors by the way!

But may I make a request???
One or a few with black or extremely dark gray belly scales?

I'll see what I can do


And Veph, I had a feeling some of those might be your kind of thing but I swear I didn't make them to tease you... they turned out that way all on their own When I mix up colour channels it seems to be 60% educated guess and 40% surprise what happens. It's a lot of fun. The black ones were the first ones I produced and I was amazed how well they came out. Black is often one of the hardest colours to get right without losing all texture.

Cool, I'll queue them up next

Here are a few different experiments of ones with dark bellies...

Dark Purple:



Dark Blue:



Grey:




Brown. Not so sure about the dark chocolate belly on this one but I love the back colour:



Brick Red:

And finally a yellow one I didn't hate too much. I was originally trying for gold but this sandy one isn't bad:

Blizzard really needs to employ you to do skin rewamps... I LOOOOVE your work . These are my favorites

But they are all really lovely.

Thanks for all your comments on the serpents, guys! They were fun to do and I'm glad you liked them

As Ruby requested, some mana wyrms. I've just made a few tonight and I'd like to post them quickly. I'll experiment with them more tomorrow.

One thing I found was that often the ones I made tended towards grey/silver, and ended up all looking the same. The in-game ones show that as well. Sometimes you have to look closely to really appreciate the differences. So with these I tried to go for ones that had stronger colours and looked more distinctive.

Magenta:



A couple of golds. One very bright and saturated and the other a bit brassier:



Two purples. The second is a dark indigo and I guess it's some sort of Void Wyrm:



Teal-blue with white:



More subtle colouring. Purple-silver body with light green-yellow fins:



Strong red. I actually toned this one down a lot. I wonder if I should have toned it down more. It's certainly stands out, anyway:

Oh my god Wain, this serpent...it's the most perfect thing I've ever seen. Seeing these recolours I even managed to let go of my white serpent in game because none of the current colours come close to appealing to me anymore.


And I really love these wyrms! <3

That red mana wyrm is very pretty!

Damn Wain I <3 you. Thank you for making my requests. May I make another??? Specially "for me" of the cobra. I really want a cobra (in game and RL) in this color black or dark gray belly but everything else this color and this color of greens. Pretty please Wain. With sugar on top. And a cherry. *bats eyelashes*

Hopefully that shouldn't be too hard!

Now that we can tame them, how about some Marshwalkers?

I did some back on page 8. It was quite a while ago. Maybe I'll try some more

Thanks you for answering my request!
The mana wyrms are all quite beautiful Wain <3
