I know a fair amount of players very much enjoy blue bases - However there are a limited amount of blue bases in the game. Inspired by this, I decided to create a base which combines a large range of blues and a clear white to hopefully contribute to these player's desires:

The name for this base was originally 'Frostbite' but was changed to 'Ocean' to suit the colour better - any name suggestions are very welcome below!

Some suggested that the leg frost would look better as a marking than an actual part of the base so here it is without:

Also the lighter versions:

I created a base which is mainly a light blue, accompanied by white paws, belly and chest along with a subtle gradient of white flecks running up the legs. I also added a dark blue eyeliner, tail tip, ear floof and a small nose gradient for a bit of darker contrast to add to the base; extended by the soft dark blue on the back so that the base doesn't appear as flat.

If this base looks like something you may be interested in or like the look of, please go ahead and give this some support. Any comments and criticisms can be given in the comments - all feedback is good feedback!

This is my first base design so any advice on how you think this could be improved into something better is very welcome an appreciated!




This suggestion has 263 supports and 32 NO supports.

I think it is really great. Would go well with some of the onyx markings we have. The only suggestion that I have is that around the head area, instead of going from straight light blue to white, it is toned. Lovely design though, great work.

I think the white to blue transition is a little harsh, it looks like the lion just has an unders marking, but I like the blue colour you used.

Ooh I really like the color you used for this! Like Dawn said, I'd shade a bit along the white-blue line, so to make the difference between the two colors less prominent. Beside that, I love it, and it reminds me of something related to the sea, like dolphins ( what a funny name for a base, Dolphin base ) xD
Great work Rarity!

@Ladia - Thanks, I'll make sure to play around with blending it a bit smoother!

@Duma - Appreciate it, and 'Dolphin' would be a kinda cute name for a base honestly ahaha

I absolutely love blue bases. This blue is very different from the ones we have, I think, and it'd make a really nice addition to the blue base family!

I feel like the white would be more of a cool under white marking then part of a base.I agree that blending the blue into the white is needed. However, if the white part was its own marking with recolors for an app or something that would be great!

@Gryszly - I think the white area of the base would be great for a marking in a variation of colours, that's quite a neat idea :o

I support! I love re idea of having new bases and all that, and I think it would go along nicely with some light colored and onyx markings ^^ It would be a nice special or rare base like how we have the whole bright green one, but still be more common than that. Since the name is "Frostbite" I'd maybe have some deeper blue pigments along the back, I'm not sure though. But all words assure, I love this!

@RockingChair - I was thinking the same! It could either be a fantastic combo base, perhaps Glacial x Ice or a special bred from Black genetics c:

This blue is really beautiful! It reminds me of the Spix's Macaw feather pattern

Support!

I love the color blue used! My only complaint is that the base should appear more gradient-like; the white looks like a marking and less like a part of the base. Maybe if its blended a bit more?

@Mackenzia - I'll be sure to make the blue and the white blend a bit more nicely so it looks more like part of the base and not just an addition, thanks for the feedback! c:
