#Reduce Gold Overlay saturation

So, I LOVE the idea about giving the mela, leum, leuc and crimson the mix skins with the overlay, I really do, but could the saturation or get it slightly changed so the horn area and body overall, does not look that out of place? I havent had much of a chance but I have a picture of Mela + Gold Overlay and the horns just look like, stuck there with glue or something, if the horns were either normal horn color or a less saturated gold color would improve it. Also with crimson, it looks AMAZING, but again the horns look out of place and just stuck in there

I think the crimson looks alright that way personally, but the luem definitely should be toned down a bit. Even if it is fun being a lil Halloween critter

Is just the horns that look out of place for me NOOOO

That’s fair, could use a better blending

#

I think a darker gold or like, not all the horn but the tips of it in gold, would look better, like an adornment

If you darken the gold it would not be gold......I am in disagreement and I honestly think it's fine the way it is. If they blended the points where the horns connected to the body a little better I could see it working better but I would not want it to be darkened or changed in any way.

Those were just a couple of ideas I had, I just simply want the horns to don't look like 2 pieces of plastic glued to the head sobby

I think the gold looks good as it is, but I agree the transition from skin color to gold horns is too abrupt. some sort of transition there would be good to make it not look like someone cut some gold horns and plopped them on there but rather make them look like they're actually part of the dragon

The mela x gold skin might just not look metallic enough. I remember this picture of a mela x gold FS and it looked amazing.

I think the prob with gold on the IR is that it has no shading whatsoever, so it just looks kinda flat and too bright like a coat of paint. The full golden skin is fine because that has shading, but the mixed ones is where it looks flat

Yeah I feel that, I’m sure it’ll be tweaked with further skin craft updates and all too.

I dont really have any issues with the body colors, is just the horns that bother me sobby But yes, free use in the color wheel in BoB is the reason I use to stick to realism servers deceased and since those are mostly dead, why I dont really play anymore there u.u

It's not quite the same issue, but the gold overlay on the leum straight up turns it silver, with gold eyes. Not sure if that's intentional.

Not sure if anyone has seen it yet, but the Mela with gold Shadow Scale is absolutley gorgeous. It could still use a tone down of the gold saturation, but this overlay works particularly well here

Agree on the mela for SS! The gold there also looks more orange than Gold, but could also be the light 🤔

#

I do love the black color for the gold overlay over melanistic dragons tho, amazing choice of black.
And as for leumelan, I think is to make an in between leum and leuc, since leuc also has that white gold but with the gold outlines

In darker lightings, gold shifts more to brown, which will give an orange effect.

it looks like they tweaked the SS gold, but IR and ASD still look like orange paint

#

The others totally need to be tweaked to match the SS gold, more yellow, less orange, it looks so much nicer~

acoustic parrot
#

Agree on that one, SS colors look much better than either SS or IR

I want to add that it looks fine in the reflection tab...

Gold in general looks like shiny mustard. It’s either too yellow or too orange. Or you get the mela+gold on SS and you have gold claws/spikes but the wing trim is flat orange and the head spikes are bright yellow. Then you have the mela+gold asd where the feet pads are yellow gold but the fins are flat orange with the tips being a completely different yellow gold. It’s a hot mess. After the initial release and then the “fixed gold on SS,” it needs reworking. I continue to hear negative comments about the gold being “mustard” or “cheese” or “orange.” Please fix. I’m embarrassed even using the gold pearls unless on leum.

Oof. I see it being referred to as mustard now everywhere too which is a shame. Poor gold pearl people

#

yes $200 for mustard

Many people I don't think know what gold actually looks like.

#

You're trying to apply a yellow tinted color to scales and essentially leathery appearances. XD I don't know what people were expecting.

It looked great on legacy. 1.0 brought a downgrade to gold in both the overlay idea and the overall appearance. Im also familiar with how gold looks digitally and IRL, and I’m sure many others do as well.

Here are a few examples of legacy vs 1.0 SS. Gold skin vs “golden” with “gold” pearl

And ASD 1.0 vs legacy (and yes, the 1.0 golden asd is in fact golden with the gold pearl on it. No idea why it looks like iconic with the orange, green, and black undertones). I added the mela with gold in there as well to show that the leg gold doesn’t match the fins. It’s more “lava flow” than anything else.

For Mela + gold skin, it would be better if they make it more black less brown
For the gold skin, well, "gold" skin, def not worth $200. Even the pearl itself mixing with other skins wont make it worth. the gold pearl skins looks like and should be crafted skins tbh RWPepeShrug
either come up with some good skin design (old melaxgold, leucxgold fs skins are good examples) or dont change it at all

I know I was a tad disappointed in how gold pearl looked on the gold skin...thought it would give a nice metallic looking gold...I mean gold pearl on leum looks FANTASTIC giving a nice silver so had thought would see something similar for gold & gold pearl 😞😞😞😞
