Camouflage and Relic Nimmos
Not really a lot that can be said about Relic. This one looks... convincing, I guess. As if it could actually be made out of stone.
I'm now scratching my head as to what it is about the Camo Nimmo that makes it look so old. Not old as in elderly, but as in pre-UC design. I can't quite figure it out. Also, I'm not sure that purple would really blend into water, so it rather defeats the object of it being camouflage. The colours themselves are very attractive and I imagine this pet would make a pretty base for cross-painting, but I'm uncertain what those spots are on its abdomen.

Re: Camouflage and Relic Nimmos
Relic looks weathered, yay!
Camo is very peculiar, those markings look like bubbles - not sure whether that was the intention.

Oh! It's like a dart frog!
Love love love love love Omg look at the pretty little speckles on its belly. And teehee, relic looks like it would sit next to a pond. I quite like the idea of an enchanted pond statue coming to life.

Re: Camouflage and Relic Nimmos
Rah is 100% right. Camo looks more like a poison dart frog (which stands out deliberately) than a camouflaged frog (and frogs have some of the best camo out there). Odd choice. Neat idea (also agreed that it looks old--very oddly flat, poor shading), but for camo, bizarre.
Re: Camouflage and Relic Nimmos
Haha, that's a good point. It's not a colour that fit's camouflage at all xD Maybe spotted! I do really like those blues, though.
Re: Camouflage and Relic Nimmos
Relic is actually good, since most tend to be mediocre.
Camouflage is awesome. I'm now tempted to make another account and get this.

Re: Camouflage and Relic Nimmos
Relic is better than relic normally is.
I can't get over camo, though! That's excellent, and the pbs are so cheap. I'm not sure if I want to make a new nimmo, or pick one of my lab rats to morph. It's an awesome color.
I like their new clothes, as well, and although the farmer get-up is interesting, the asian-inspired clothes look especially striking to me.

Re: Camouflage and Relic Nimmos
I too love the Camouflage. I'm a blue fanatic and, while at first it reminds me of Electric's colour scheme, it's still nicely done. I think the speckles on it's belly give it a nice realistic touch. Good, very good.
Relic is Relic. Not much more you can say.

Re: Camouflage and Relic Nimmos
I'm with you, Pyro - when I first saw that nimmo I thought it was electric.
The poison dart frog similarity is interesting and makes me feel better about it.
I'm so confused about the tortoiseshell pattern it seems to have on its crotch though o_O

Re: Camouflage and Relic Nimmos
I'm not really sure about the poison dart frog as an inspiration for Camo, much as I love their colour schemes. Mainly because the point of the poison dart frog and the other brightly coloured frogs is that they're really obvious and not camouflaged.

Re: Camouflage and Relic Nimmos
Maybe it's a non-poisonous frog that is trying to look like a poisonous frog, thus CAMOUFLAGING itself as a poisonous one? DID YOU THINK OF THAT?
Yeah. I didn't really believe it either. The colour scheme is cool though. Even if it's more "deep ocean" than "tree frog".
Also, did you know I found out the difference between 'poisonous' and 'venomous' ? Venomous means the creature can put poison into you in order to hurt you, like with fangs or spikes or whatever, but if you manage to kill it you can eat it and not die. Poisonous means that the creature's flesh has poison in it, so the only way you can get poisoned by it is by eating it.
ISN"T THAT INTERESTING?
nb: I could still be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's what the difference is!

That...is actually really interesting. I hope you don't mind if I tell everyone I know these facts and pretend as though I learned them through my "studies."Madge wrote:Also, did you know I found out the difference between 'poisonous' and 'venomous' ?

As for it not being actually camouflaged...I know this isn't a good excuse, but neither are many of the other camo pets. They had camo patterns, but I think being poisonous would protect a nimmo in the wild more than being bright purple would protect a poogle.

Camo reminds me of a lava lamp.

Like a hoverfly? In case other countries don't have these as commonly: http://piccies.flybywire.org.uk/General ... verfly.jpgMaybe it's a non-poisonous frog that is trying to look like a poisonous frog, thus CAMOUFLAGING itself as a poisonous one? DID YOU THINK OF THAT?
They're coloured like a bee or wasp to make predators think they're dangerous, but don't actually sting (and also don't buzz, which is very handy for those of us who jump at the sound of buzzing). So the Nimmo isn't poisonous but coloured as though it should be.
Even if the comparison just makes me think of a Nimmo hovering to confuse people. Which it would...
