Please help me find a new customisation!

[Rebecca~]

I'm getting bored of Ansteigen's current customisation. I started playing around with Dress to Impress last night, but I just got... overwhelmed.

 

I'm trying to make a customisation that fits his personality. I want something that kind of looks like he's around a castle, and I don't want it as... boring as his current customisation. But I just can't find a combination of background/foreground/trinkits/whatever that I really like.

Here is what I'm working with at the moment. I want to keep Ansteigen in his Royalboy clothing, but I thought about switching out his staff for a sword. I like the background (I'm also very fond of the Meridell Sillouette background), but I don't know what kind of things match either of those backgrounds. :( The Sillouette one is especially hard, since nothing is shaded to look like it's in the dark.

 

Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciate. I kind of feel like I'm floundering. D:

 

(Oh, NP only, please! I spend too much on Neopets as it is, between Premium and the Faerie Quest cookies, haha)

I see you've selected the crumbling ancient castle background in your preview. That's a nice one. You might like the lost desert silhouette background - it's more eastern style, but I think it looks nice with the colours of the royal clothing. Or perhaps the shenkuu silhouette background? It doesn't have castles, but I think it's very fancy! I'm drawing a blank on the other elements you're looking for.

All the Silhouette backgrounds are so pretty! :D I love them. They`re just hard to pair with other stuff, I find. :( The colours look so nice with the clothes though, you`re right!

In my opinion, the Meridell Castle Silhouette Background looks great! I think you should change your current background. It doesn't really blend with the color scheme. (when I said current, I meant the one you have on dress to impress not the one on your user look-up.) Maybe that's just me though. I love all the Silhouette backgrounds. xD

 

Also - If you do go with the Meridell Silhouette background, I think you should get rid of the Willow tree foreground. IMO, it's taking up too much space and making it a bit cluttered. (again, maybe just me.) I really like the sword you have on in combination with the meridell background. You could apply the Rock Gate foreground instead of the Shrubbery if you wanted to give it more of a "Knight" appeal?

 

I also like these backgrounds on him:

Stuck in the Lost Isle Background

Noxs Mansion Background (pairs nicely with the rock gate foreground)

Mystery Island Silhouette Background

Faerielands Destruction Background (pretty expensive, but looks really nice on him!)

 

I know I'm probably not much help. I just now started customizing my pets. :3 I hope it helps you out some.

 

Btw - is there an official thread on here where we can get feedback on our customizations? There should be. I was wanting some feedback on how I could further customize my chomby for halloween.

You wanted a darker-esque background but have you tried the Meridell Countryside Background?

 

Looks nice with/without the apple tree... http://impress.openneo.net/outfits/266881

Oooh, thank you both! Great suggestions. :D

 

 

 

Hmm, there should be a customisation thread just for suggestions! Unfortunately, Maraquan pets are super hard to customise, since they can't wear most clothing. :(

suggestion noted ;) we'll have to talk about it a little first, Pinned threads can often be overlooked though, so sometimes topics get more views if its a new Thread,

 

also for items! i really like the crumbing castle BG too, so how about adding Ancient Archway Foreground and a Shield with the sword? the FG is my favorite because it frames the scene, if you like the Meridell silhouette BG though i liked the bramble foreground which makes it very Sleeping Beauty, but other suggestions that might work for you:

 

Backgrounds:

Creepy Cave Background with the Ancient Archway Foreground

Creepy Darigan Citadel Background with Castle Parapets Foreground

Entrance to Altador Background

Governors Mansion Silhouette Background

Jhudoras Bluff Background (nice castle and the color got well with a faerie Shoyru)

Noxs Mansion Background

 

Foregrounds:

Castle Parapets Foreground

Ancient Archway Foreground

Altador Pillars Foreground

Old Stone Wall Foreground (has a very green part in the FG though, you can cover this with the Ancient Archway Foreground though)

Bramble Foreground (for that derelict castle look)

Thorny Vine Garland

Shrubbery

 

Outfit:

there sadly aren't many non-NC swords, i like the Shoyru sword that you have in your suggested customisation although not sure if you have that already

 

if you want to make him more knightish, i like the addition of a shield ;) Shiny Meridell Shield and Shiny Silver Neopets Shield are some ones i like :)

 

okay today is not a good computer day for me but http://impress.openneo.net/outfits/266981 think that should work :P

Oooh, thank you! That looks AMAZING. I love having different looks for different seasons and stuff (and since, as you can tell from my getting bored of my previous customisation, I get bored easily! LOL).

The shields are definitely a good idea! :D I love the Meridell Shield with the Meridell Castle/Apple Tree, but the Silver Shield looks FAB with the ruined castle. :D
