Lioden has two gold bases being Gilded and Trophy, but no silvery bases. Which is a crying shame as I personally prefer silver over gold and I can't be the only one. So how about a base inspired by the element mercury? ![]() Think about how elegant and ethereal a base like this could be? Sadly I draw about as well as a toddler with a fist full of chewed on crayons, so I can't make an example. ![]() However maybe someone who also adores silver would be willing to give me a hand? ![]() Edit: Possibly make this a combo base between Clear White and Gilded/Trophy? Edit: Dinocanid (#69182) made an alteration of dogepauus's base that looks absolutely stunning. ![]() ![]() Now I know there isn't any yellow color in mercury, but I didn't want to call it a silver base since we already have silver gray. Besides I think we can excuse a little artistic freedom in a game with pink lions. xD Edit: Removed dogepauus's example due to lack of popularity. Edit Edit: Xylax actually spoke to me, but apparently Dinocanid's base had the lineart colored which can't be used in that case. However recreated it to the best they can below: ![]() |

Yeah, but I didn't want to just say Silver for the base name since we already have silver grey. I think we can excuse a little artistic freedom here. ![]() |

Yeah, I saw that when I google reference images xD I threw it in anyway though, since it looked prettier imo. ![]() |

they should rename that "silver" base since looks nothing like silver, but they stubborn at changing the name of stuff xD that base is actually a natural blue, exactly the russian blue cat breed's color x3 "blue grey" it should be called.. anyway I support boths mock-ups! they both great and different. ![]() |

Good work Dinocanid! Would prefer if it was all silver though, the yellowish on the paws isn't my thing. ![]() |

I am absolutely on board with Dinocanid (#69182)'s alteration. I'd love to have it! ![]() |

By the way, there actually is a silvery and yellow metal. ![]() Lanthanum. Element number 57. And if that name isn't pretty enough, it is derived from the Latin word "Lanthano" which means roughly "To be hidden". If we wanted to be truly poetic, however, you could totally name it "Argent" which refers to silvery white, sometimes in reference to Heraldry. ![]() |

I think Lanthanum would be a poor choice since most people probably don't know what that is. Argent isn't a bad idea though. ![]() |

I like the idea, but your mockup looks more sparkly where I feel it should look more SHINY, metallic, like trophy or gilded. ![]() |
