Faraja :
Swahili for comfort, relief, and rest

There's been a lot of bright colorbomb bases released lately- And while some of them have been alright, I miss darker, more natural-toned bases. Atlas was lovely, but didn't scratch that itch for me.
So, y'know. Naturally, as an artist, I made my own. LMAO


This would be either a combo or BO base. I have a few different name ideas, but my favorite has been Faraja, which is Swahili for comfort and relief. Other ideas I had were felicity and snug.

This base is primarily themed around warmth and comfort and was made to look soft and rich. Kind of based on that feeling when you wake up in the morning, and your bed is extra warm while the sun peeks through your window.
Bases like Inpu and Elysian are some of my favorites aside from the greens and golds because they manage to make a lion that looks soft from afar with the layering, so I tried to include that aspect but more blended, and I really like how it came out.

If it was a combo base, It'd specifically be between these factors:

Ebony / Velvet / Augur / Ragdoll


X

Maziwa / Buttermilk / Caramel / Chocolate

These eight were primarily chosen because I love when base factors have meanings that tie in with the base- (Like Arabica) The only two that don't fit in fully is Augur and Ebony, because I mainly put them for looks.
Velvet and Ragdoll are factors due to both being related to something soft, with Velvet referring to the fabric, and Ragdoll referring to the cat breed.
Maziwa (Meaning milk), Buttermilk, Caramel, and Chocolate are more based around warm, comforting tastes.

I don't think it'd be a Special Criteria combo base, but if it was, I think it'd only be able to be bred at night.
