Sinve ive seen veph with skorn with grey belly... would it be possible to make the white dinasour have a golden/and colored belly, eye and markins to fit with kahluas gear?
and if Possible a sign with Kahlua and Gin with the golden/sand coloration together?
Kahluas look: (the gold/Sand in her amor/gun is what im looking for in gins markings)

I cant do this but I'm sure Veph could give a crack at it if you bring it to her attention since if I remember correctly she edits Skorn herself.

Hrm, turning the pink into gold is more difficult than what I do with Skorn's belly. With him I just lower the saturation until it's grey, but to change the pink into gold it just looks...messy. I fiddled around but all I could get was a washed out, murky brown/bronze colour that didn't look very good. I don't do much in terms of colour replacement, so perhaps someone else has better experience for that particular type of colour editing. Generally I just use hue sliders when it comes to that sort of thing, but it works best for cooperative colours, for example turning green into a slightly more blue tone. They're relatively similar in shade and hue so it's not difficult to alter it.

Well you did your best! Perhaps Wain.. Though Tarn's idea for a devilsaur does sound lovely. A popcorn kind of dino :3

Here's my quick jab at it... If you had a better resolution image and some patience I guess it can be done.

What I basically did was to create a layer with orange-gold colour and set it to "color" and coloured in all the parts I wanted to change. Then, I duplicated said layer and set the second one to "overlay" and lessened it's opacity and saturation. Then I fiddled around with gaussian blur and the blur tool to even out the edges.

The closest I had on my thread, already made, is this silver moon and gold one:
I could easily adjust it further. Especially since I know a lot more about graphics programs than I did when I made it.

Hmm, not sure why you couldn't see that picture. Could anyone else see it?
No matter, it was just one I'd generated a long time ago.
I love SB's idea of reversing the colours. Coffee devilsaur looks very cool
Here's a couple I generated tonight with the brown on the belly as you'd originally asked. First is mainly just the white dino (which is actually yellowish) with a sandy brown belly.
I'm not sure, but it kinda looked from your image that the background colour to your armour is kind of a blue-grey. If so, maybe this one would match better. The back of the devilsaur is blue-grey, with the sandy-brown belly.
If you like either of those (with or without adjustments) I can send you the skin files so you can use them in WMV. If you like SB's one, maybe he'd be happy to modify the skin file for the same purpose

I'll see what I can do to adjust it a bit further
WoW Model Viewer can be used to view all the models in the WoW database, and it's what people use to model new skins that they make. I put a brief description on how to do it at the start of my thread here:

I took Youruko's devilsaur and lessened the saturation and changed lighting a wee little bit to make it a little brighter overall since it seemed to be lacking light

In case it's of use for colour-matching, the skin for the gun is "firearm_2h_rifle_Outlandraid_02Gold" and I'll post it here:

i changed the eye, i tried using the colors of the gun scope but it was too dark so i went with lighter blues. didnt want the brown cause devilsaurs have vivid eyes that dont follow the rest of the bodies color scheme (its basically painted on, and then i desaturated the devilsaur a bit more, but yea, cause of the paintbrush the eye isnt as awesome as it could be)
edit: realized that the desaturation made it look really bland, i thought it looked too gold but i guess it wasnt, so heres the first one i did from using Youruko's version one with the blue eyes (uuugh, i didnt save the version that i first posted before i closed the program so i tried to re-saturate but i didnt saturate enough but im just leaving it as is, annoyed enough at trying to get colors right >.>)
