Hello everybody! So after the success of my lotus mockup, I decided to try something else!

So I introduce, a base modeled after the common grackle!

What is the common grackle?
The common grackle (Quiscalus quiscula) is a large icterid which is found in large numbers through much of North America. Wiki

Here is an image of a common grackle, and what I used for picking colors


Wait, but Lioden is set in africa, that's not realistic!
Neither are the cherry blossom, interstellar,demonic, or quasar bases, but you don't see people yelling about those.


Without further ado, lets get to the mock ups!

Grackle base snarky lioness


Grackle base lineless

As always I will take suggestions on how to improve it, but please use constructive criticism only. "It looks stupid" does not help anyone.

This base would be Black dark solid rare/special
I believe this would be great as either a combo base, or a raffle base.
The combos I have in mind are
Obsidian x (?)
Labradorite x (?) SUGGESTED BY: Misty the Bloodluster
Labradorite x obsidian + Madagascar + Nuumite + Penumbra + Ebony
Obsidian x glacial


2024 genetics suggestion update
Black dark solid uncommon
Finch x nuumite OR
Factor combo: ANY black dark solid x Finch.
OR any black dark solid x black dark solid
Tied to: quail skin/glass eyes
Reasoning: not a ton but nuumite hasn’t been super useful for a while and it doesn’t seem like it is now. With the addition of Finch base, I just think it’d be funny to use it as a factor, because bird. I had a lot of bird themed base ideas in my head in 2018. They have not gone away.

If you don’t support please say why! Criticism welcome but I’m unlikely to change the mock-ups now because I have no idea where my originals went. Oops.
