NEPHILIM BASE



This base marries October's Heaven and Hell into a base inspired by the offspring of Angels and Demons. I am aware that the name of the base is also used for the offspring of angels and mortals, but I have seen it used in fiction in both ways so I'm quite set on it! I chose deep purple with reddish undertones and a bright undershine because I feel it mixes the sinister, dark bases of the event nicely with the illuminated ones. It has some gritty texture like some of the hell parent bases and some sparkles inspired by the angelic sparkles decor and the theme of the heaven bases as well as the speckles in Brimstone.



Suggested origin: Combo base breedable throughout the year, but released in October. Potentially
a very slightly boosted rate in October.
Suggested genetics: Red Dark Countershaded
Other traits: Definitely a mane, I'll try and add that soon.




This base would be [Demonic/Brimstone/Bloodbourne/Haunted] x [Angelic/Heavenly/Argent/Isabel].



I know that Haunted, Argent and Isabel might seem thematically out of place; my reasoning for Haunted is that it brings to mind possession. Argent is a word for silver that I strongly associate with 'holy' and 'paladin' type concepts, probably picked that one of up from fantasy centric media. Isabel the base refers to 'isabelline' animals that are pale in their colouring, but as a name, it means 'Devoted to God'. I also needed at least one common in here, so bear with me.





Here's an awesome Nephilim design made by Serval! Thank you.




The spoiled section takes the base apart a little for the dev team. The sparkle effect is a specific brush in Krita and the sparkles are colour dropped from the darker yellow and the lighter yellow present in the base. I left them in on the first two images just to show their distribution; they do sit on top of everything else. The crumbly effect of the yellowish undercoats is made with a normal brush first followed by a watercolour grain blend brush that breaks it apart into that pattern.





This suggestion has 469 supports and 12 NO supports.

I don't think it'll win either but still there's next year. Though if it was it'd finally give use for many of the combo factor bases you've put up there.

I honestly want them to add all three. Yeah, rich to say seeing as Nephilim is mine, but I strongly feel like all three are a tough choice because they fill slightly different niches. I'm especially sad that Bewitched is pitched against colourful bases because it was doomed but gorgeous. They could add Witch this year, Neph next year and Bewitched the year after that and I think that'd be the best because everyone wins.

I voted bewitched because I prefer the more natural bases, but if I could've voted for more & nephalim especially I definitely would - there were so many good options and it's sad to see them continue to add natural vs colourful when it's been proved time and time again colourful will always win

Voted for this, sadly doesn't look like it's going to win against Witch, but hopefully next year! It's absolutely gorgeous and definitely gives off the "hybrid of holy and unholy" vibe!

I voted witch mostly because It fits my childhood Halloween thoughts. But I really like bewitched and nephelim as well. Honestly I love how the none player created bases are getting slammed in the polls🤣 though the last one makes me think of a pumpkin so I like it.

Look, I actually love the idea of a vertical half and half split base. Just maybe not blue yellow and dark red. ...And they took my name /lh

They’ve probably had it in concept for a little bit and were originally going to name it nephilim, but didn’t want to have two base suggestions with the same name

I'm legitimately a bit salty that this base isn't winning
