~Xandria Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hello TDN'ers! So I pretty much already know the basics of cross-painting and I'm thinking I want to crosspaint a pet soon. Problem is, I don't know what most crosspainted pets look like and I don't want to end up with something I don't like. I'll more than likely do a faerie/royal combo but I've only seen one pet painted that way - a shoyru. They are absolutley beautiful but I'd like to see others or at least try and get some ideas before I make any major decisions. So, does anyone with crosspainted pets have any insight to offer? Thanks! <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I'd start by checking out the combos you're interested in on Dress to Impress. You can have your base be the pet color you want your final product to be, then put on the clothes from other PBs and see what they look like together. That way you're sure you like it before you spend a ton on painting. karmacow, Lamppost and ~Xandria 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I think that a lot of pets look amazing crosspainted. It's pretty easy to see what some look like by going onto dress to impress and looking up just paint brush clothing. :D (Personally, transparent/royal crosspaints are AMAZING - especially royal boy chombys!) Desert clothing often looks amazing on Maractite and Zombie pets (gold with the maractite is gorgeous, and I love the undead king look!) It can be hard to narrow down, but start with looking through species you like, and see what paintbrush clothing they have. You can take that to dress to impress, and try that clothing on other colours- that's what I did for Ansteigen! :D A couple of ideas: karmacow and ~Xandria 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Xandria Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 You guys are both so awesome! I had no idea I could do that. Hehe. How cool. Now I'm off to discover which one will be my permie. :) I can't wait! Rebecca~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmacow Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Please post when you've found your winning combo. I'd love to see what you come up with :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 And don't forget that you can work with more than just PB clothes after you cross paint. This is my Lupe, Chrisary. Starry/Christmas crosspaint, which is fairly simple in and of itself, but the other items I have on him makes it unique and gives him a lot of personality.

Rebecca~ Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I can't wait to see what you come up with, Xandria! And don't forget, you can use the clothes from a couple different colours- Desert and Royal and Usuki clothing all on the same pet if you really want! :D And yeah, the backgrounds and trinkets you add to the pet afterwards makes them even more special!

Dcoolb Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 If I may throw out my opinion: http://pets.neopets.com/cpn/Detestion/1/4.png Halloween/Maraquan Hissi... My best pet combo I have ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Halloween bones also look amazing on Darigan! :) (actually, I think those bones would look fab on any colour. Can't really go wrong!)

Lamppost Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 The combo I considered was Plushie/Pirate for my Shoyru. I like that one. (But I ended up going Maraquan instead!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koralis Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Desert and Royal pets often have the best clothing (I love your Zombie/Royal Krawk idea Rebecca - so much character potential there), but not always the best base colours. I would have to concur with DTI, I always use that site to test out my ideas and often end up with such a high-priced customization! So use at your own risk :P I just wanted to throw some more ideas into the mix: I look forward to seeing what you come up with Xandria!
