Tryin' my paw at a base suggestion, so I did up this lil' beauty.

Old version

New version

A rather dull, kind of diluted Cobalt blue color. At first I was going to call the base "Midnight", but given there is an eye color and a mane marking of the same name, I gave up on that idea. Then there was "Night", "Raven", and "Abyss", but there's already suggestions for those too, so "Cobalt" it was. Since it's a rather blue looking base I was thinking it could be in the Iridescent base group if that's going to be a thing? Not sure how that one's going to work yet but I'm throwing the idea out there. Otherwise I think it should go in the Black Solid group as a Dark Special. I'm open to ideas for what fails it could produce.

EDIT: Desaturated it a little more, as Thalath (#41669) mentioned, while trying to retain the original color and end result. Hope that looks a bit better

Let me know what you think and why you do or don't support.

It's gorgeous, but just the solid blue is a bit too unrealistic to me? I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to unsupport. Very pretty, though

It looks nice and more Solid Specials are definitely appreciated. Solids don't have to be a flat colorfill and I think this base highlights that well.

My only issue with it is that some of the dark parts are veering on being darker than the lineart, a problem I've noticed a few newer bases having (Bloodbourne in particular). It makes them a bit hard to work with in terms of designs, but otherwise, I think this base would look really incredible with markings on it. You could possibly even get away with desaturating it just a tiny bit.

@AristaLight thanks! In my personal opinion though, it isn't any more unrealistic than bases like Green, Glacial, Cherry Blossom, Maroon, and Cinnabar, those being solids of one particular color as well. Thanks for the input though!

@Thalath I've noticed a lack in Special bases for the Black Solid Dark genetic, so that was part of the inspiration for this. I can try lightening up those dark areas just a little with a slightly lighter black, maybe that will help? The original result was actually more vibrant and blue than this before I turned down the saturation a little, but I can try desaturating a little more and see how it looks.

New version is very pretty, though I personally would like it more if it were desaturated a bit.
I really like how blended the different tones are though. The colors remind me of the Shining Drongo feathers ^^

@Detective sorry for this late reply, kind of wanted to give this topic a bit of time to set in I guess. Thanks for the input! I honestly didn't have Shining Drongo feathers in mind when I made this but now that something has been said I can see the resemblance XD. Also, I don't know how much further I can desaturate it without it losing any more of it's contrast or original color and how it looks now. I'll see what I can do to it though!
