The base:



Because the base is a mix of Nudar, Sunspot, Sahara, Damu, Ripe, Wine, and Merlot, I used a lot of the patterns + overlayed a lot of each base, which is where you'll see the traits come in. It's a Frankenstein-conglomerate base. Face pattern is from Damu, Merlot, and Ripe. Speckles are from Ripe. Light underbelly+tail+face/nose is from Wine but also a little bit from Nudar and Sahara. The combo was supposed to look like an equal mix of literally all of them and I thought the groupie bases have a lot of Weird Patterning i.e. sunspot's flanks so I just left it in. I thought it was too busy but it's a special combo so I guess that's kind of fine.

Mulberry and Rhubarb are there on the factors because they're both types of wine, match the color palette very well, and would make the base shit-hard to breed without them probably. The rest of the factors are just every groupie base. It's supposed to be Red or Gold Dark Countershaded (please don't put it in Cream its factors aren't in there) and doesn't have a name but I like Frascati, Sherry, Amberwine and Whitewine.

This is the dark-toned base in a series of three combo bases.
