Arcana is a Black Dark Countershaded Special base inspired by magic and colors that remind me of magic! Black, purple, and gold.

I'm thinking it would be bred from Ebony and Rough Ruby, or Ebony and another purple base. Divine is INCREDIBLY tempting, but as it is an applicator base, I'm not so sure. I'm taking suggestions on this front!

This is less of a final mark-up and more like concept art. It was drawn on my phone with my finger, lol. If you have better art resources and would like to help make a mark-up, contact me!

I'm also considering tweaking details as I go along. For instance, I love the gold speckles, but I think they stand out too much. What do y'all think? Better off without them, or perhaps better off as a marking?

Help me perfect this pet project base by leaving constructive criticism, feedback, and suggestions! :D




This suggestion has 33 supports and 14 NO supports.

I like the initial concept a lot! A subtle, yet still unnatural base, which is hard to get right! Some brown on the chin might be nice, though! However, thinking about the yellow eyes, if you wanted a bit more pop, some of the speckles could transition into slightly more vivid yellow rather than faded gold as well, including a more bold gradient in the legs going black-brown-gold-yellow. Just some ideas! ^^

It looks really good, but maybe it could be a bit lighter and have no brown

This could be a neat idea, after all I don't think there's a whole lot of unique bases you can get from Rough Ruby combos so it'd add some variety. I'm not too crazy about the gold/brown hues because it throws off the purple/black a bit (maybe test out something lavenderish or silvery if you need a third color?) but so far it looks good ^^

Thanks y'all for the suggestions β€” I plan on working on lightening up the color scheme a bit! I'm trying to do it without losing the deep/rich quality of the purple I was going for.
