Vixen Taurs, Topaz + More? Opinion

Sat Mar 7, 2009, 8:16 AM
Alright. With the warm reception of Topaz, been toying with the idea of creating a minor rainbow of them. However, I do have a few ideas, and not sure which one I want to settle on.




Topaz - Orange


That means if I went with a rainbow theme, I'd like to have the following:

Yellow
Green
Blue
Violet
Red or Pink (both?)

I also really like the idea of naming them after gemstones. (Suggestions?) Figured for red would be Ruby... but I figured that we could get more inventive than that.

I'm also thinking of basing them on different fox species. However, they probably won't get the over all glow of what Topaz has. However, I'm not sure if I'm keen on the idea of making them a color of the stone/hue they're to represent (green fox lol wut? )


I'd appreciate opinions on this. I'm leaning towards having them represent real fox species with tweaks (as Topaz may be inspired by a real fox species, but that fox species does not look like her). And then add their 'color' by their flowers, eyes, jewelry, background, accessories, etc.


Input?

I like the idea of them being different species of foxes X3 Their clothing, accessories, background, etc. could all be the color :D That way you won't have any green foxes ;D

And if you do pink, you could name her Pink Quartz~ :heart:

I live in my own world, but that's okay- at least they known me here X3
:iconserivahn:
Green - Emerald or Peridot
Blue - Sapphire
Violet - Amethyst
Red - Garnet

Perhaps? x3
:iconrenbutt:
If you need help with the gemstones part, I know a lot of obscure ones for those colors, rather than the usual like rubies, garnets, etc. Such as tourmaline.

But I really like the idea. I dunno what more to suggest. xD

Thanks to my *iinky-paws for the awesome icon. x3
:iconeclipsed-soul91:
Yellow - Amber
Green - Emerald or Alexandrite
Blue - Aquamarine, or Sapphire
Violet - Sapphire or Amethyst
Red - Garnet or Alexandrite
Pink - Quartz or Diamond

Alexandrite changes from red to creen depending on what kind of light hits it. I love your idea for the species though, it sounds wonderful ^^ and not to mention there are enough different species of foxes for you to not have a problem <3

All I'll say is that I like the idea of you drawing rainbow foxtaur vixens. ;)
:iconopalskye:
I like the idea of using gemstones as names, there are like others have said some really unusual names out there for gemstones/minerals. I particularly like Iolite (purple/violet coloured stone) as a name :D
You're right about a green fox too xD Perhaps as ~fantasyforever has suggested, use the colours for their eyes, accessories and backgrounds, the accent colours :) It would make for a very beautiful range of Vixentaurs that's for sure :D
I also discovered that a stone that I'd had in my posession for a while was called White Howlite, perhaps looking up semi-precious stones as well as commonly known gemstones would give you some inspiration?

All gemstones are minerals. I'm a rock hound. I created my gradient packs for Apophysis on my other account (:icondeadened-glow:) and I used all sorts of gradients. So I am listing the ones that seemed to fit your color scheme.


Yellow - Nadorite, Curienite, Curite, Gold, Citrine
Green - Jadeite (jade), malachite, Johannite
Blue - Ajoite, Ceruleite, Devilline, Kyanite, Turquoise (can fit in with blue and green), Aqua Aura (manufactured quartz, very pretty),
Violet - Charoite, Lepidolite, Purpurite, Zoisite Tanzanite,
Red or Pink (both?) - Beryl, Carminite, Rhodonite, Ruby (actually the same as beryl, but eh), Piemontite, Roselite, Sugilite

You can have (if you are looking for unusual ones):
Malachite, Serpentine or Adventurine for green,
Citrine, Calcite or Sulphur for Yellow,
Lapis Lazuli, Celestite, Kyanite (or Cyanite) or Sodalite for blue,
Amethyst or Charoite for violet,
Kunzite, Rhodonite or Morganite or for pink
Iron Quartz or Jasper for red

I collect gemstones, you can look at photos of my collection fo far and see if you spot anything you like ^.^

This link has gemstones listed by color. Lots of them. With pictures: [link]

I'm partial to ruby (red), citrine (yellow), peridot or jade (green), lapis lazuli or aquamarine (blue), amethyst (purple), and rose quartz (pink). Also, had you considered doing other colors? I came up with onyx (black), moonstone (gray), diamond or opal (white), etc.
