Crixler's Saber Pack 2 Develpment Thread

My first saber pack may have just been released very recently, and an updated version just earlier today, but I'm already working on my second one!

This time, I'd like some opinions on some of the new sabers.

 

Let's start off with some silvery colors, inspired by viridian.

Silvery Blue (a better name would be nice. suggestions?), compared with regular blue:

Silvery Blue compared with silver:

Silvery Yellow (again, name suggestions?), compared with regular yellow:

t-silvyellowb-yellow.jpg

 

Silvery Purple (name again?), next to purple:

top-silverpurplebottom-purple.jpg

 

And Silvery Red, next to red:

top-silverredbottom-red.jpg

 

I'm fairly pleased with all of these, personally.

 

Now, on to the brighter colors!

 

A new color called Cerulean, which uses Shem's alternate blue texture, compared with Mantle of the Force (Mantle is actually on top this time, the new one's on the bottom):

top-mantlebottom-cerulean.jpg

 

This one I'm calling Indigo, I think I used Shem's alternate purple texture, or I may have made a new one, I can't recall. Anyway, it's on top, with purple on the bottom:

top-indigobottom-purple.jpg

 

Another purple varient, here's Magenta on top, with purple on the bottom:

top-magentabottom-purple.jpg

 

I also made a silvery varient of Magenta, that I'm currently calling Pink, although it's not quite as "pink" as I had expected (purple's on the bottom again):

t-pinkb-purp.jpg

 

Now for the one's I'm thinking I will probably omit...

 

First up is Amber, which ended up looking almost exactly like yellow! Amber's on top, yellow's below:

top-amberb-yellow.jpg

 

Up next is Lime Green, which is barely distinguishable from regular green. Lime's on top:

top-limebottom-green.jpg

 

And last of this group is something that was spawned when I asked my brother to make one... I call it Puke. It's being compared to yellow, which is on the bottom:

top-pukebottom-yellow.jpg

 

And the last crystal I have to show you isn't exactly a crystal. In Star Wars Galaxies, you are able to use a Krayt Dragon pearl as a color crystal, and it has some power crystal aspects to it as well. It has a "pearly white" color to the blade. It's been far too long since I've played that game, and I can't remember exactly how it looks, and I couldn't find any pictures on google, but here's my best guess:

t-kraytb-silv.jpg

That's silver on the bottom.

I'm not sure if I'm going to finish this one. I would think it should be possible to do, just make it so the pearl works similar to Heart of the Guardian or Mantle of the Force, so it modifies all the other crystals. Then I guess I would have to make it so you can't use it as a regular power crystal anymore. I like the idea, but it sounds complicated. If there's enough interest, however, I could give it shot.

 

So anyway, what's everyone's thoughts on the new colors? The pearl? Did I miss anyone's favorite color? Etc.

Edit:

 

I tweaked the Amber and Lime textures a bit. I'm now content with the Amber color, but the Lime still seems to close to green. I'm afraid to add too much more yellow because then it could end up looking too similar to Bastila's. But here are the new screenshots:

 

Amber2 on top, yellow on bottom:

t-amber2b-yellow.jpg

 

Lime2 on top, green on bottom:

t-lime2b-green.jpg

 

 

Also, I've come up with some possible names for some of the new colors:

 

Silvery Blue - Glaucous

Silvery Purple - Mauve

Silvery Red - Puce

Silvery Yellow - Icterine

 

Lime Green - Harlequin

Puke - Aureolin

 

Some of these sound rather exotic, but since the inspiration for the colors of the silvery ones was viridian, I decided to take inspiration from it's name as well.
