Per Cake's desires, I did a little test of what I think a purple base could look like. Of course, there are a lot of natural purples, but remarkably, the giant Indian squirrel has strikingly rich colouration in its fur, varying from tans to deep browns and reds which often appear a beautiful purple in the sunlight, so as Cake decided, it'd be a lovely colour for a feasible fur colour for a lion. Cake suggested "Damson" as the name for this base. So here's a mock up of it.

Now, obviously that one comes with some pretty distinct markings, because of what the squirrel's look like. Which is why I decided to make another purple base that is markingless, and just has the countershade aspect. I've decided to call it dahlia, because it reminded me of the purple dahlia flower.
EDIT:
So since I wanted to do it anyway, and feedback has led this to be a better idea, I edited dahlia a bit. I think this would need a different name, but it's a deeper purple than lilac, with softer saturation, which I think looks nice, if not so bright.

I did add some brown to this like with the damson, to help soften it a bit. If you have a name suggestion for this base, feel free to let me know!

If you like the idea of having deeper purple bases, and not just lilac, please give your support! If you have any suggestions that could improve it, let me know! And if you don't support, that's fine. But the argument against natural colours seems a bit moot with how many lovely and interesting colours we already do have for lions on this game. ;)

Thank you very much for your consideration!
Cordially, Herr

http://i.imgur.com/9nVBHso.png What about something a bit more like this? That way it retains some of the seal brown, some purple, but it's not as close to ebony. ^^

I like it. It's got a sleek, inky feel to it that Ebony doesn't.

Like black, but not as underwhelming. Like onxy, but not as overpowering. Definitely should be a special base.

http://i.imgur.com/g3McQLI.png Here's a version without the markings. I fudged with it a bit, but it's still pretty far from ebony, warm enough to be a "purple" without being too red, and has browns.

They're gorgeous! Also, people cant really argue that it isnt possible. There is a few things on her that would be impossible for a lion to do... its realistic enough. Support!

The bases are kind of interesting, but I voted no. And I'm going to continue voting no on Every counter-shaded base put out there until we get some Solids! I don't care if I'm in the minority on preferring solid, I can't be the Only one. Counter Shaded has ALL the event bases and way outnumbers solid bases. Feed the minority too and give Solid some love!

Thank you JimmyJamm!

And lmfao okay? Seems a bit harsh as far as reasons goes to do it to every one, but whatever I guess. Perhaps you should post suggestions for solid bases instead if you'd like to see more of them.

I think the main difference is just in how the hues meld for countershades, whereas solid has highlight and shading added where needed, but otherwise lacks most colour variation. I dunno if that even made sense rip

Btw, everyone, the lunapic links are dead so you're going to have to do your own comparing between Dhalia and Ebony.

Hm, well since we already have a ton of unrealistic bases I see no problem stretching it to include these. ^.^ I especially love the first one, those markings in the base are quite lovely and could easily be paired with browns, white, and possibly blacks depending on the markings.
