Wolf Design: Backgrounds and Décor

Wolf Design: Backgrounds and Décor
Posted 2023-03-29 12:47:29
Part 1: Natural Designs
When I joined I familiarized myself with backgrounds using Wardrobe and décor using Item Catalog. I have a natural/desert theme, so I added everything I could see using to my Wishlist for reference. Part of my reason for Wolf Design Part 2 is people asking for help decorating in Chat. It's hard to give a good answer with other conversations burying the discussion, so I'll link here in the future. Making a thread in Chatter is also a good way to get well-thought-out answers to your questions.

Blending In
I often try to find a background that matches the wolf's colors to give the sense that it is well suited to survive in that environment. If it's hard to choose make duplicates of the wolf in Wardrobe and compare each option.

Jett. [USA] South Dakota - Badlands matched to Zircon and Cream markings.
Grandmother Spider. [USA] Nevada - Red Rock Canyon matched to Auburn and Red markings.
Maryam. Shortgrass Prairie matched to Piebald.
Saleh. Malpaís matched to Sarder base.
Celofay. Kissimmee Prairie matched to Storm marking.
Tiesh. Hot Springs matched to Henna marking.
Standing Out
Use contrasting colors or play with lightness/darkness.
Ahmad. Cave Entrance contrasts with Storm and Cream markings.
Lighting
When I have extra money I stock up on Custom Décor and have a few favorites I return to.

Jolc. [Lighting] Subtle sunrise compliments [USA] Arkansas - Ozark National Forest.
Mista Black. Lunar Light.
Cicada Song. [Lighting] Soft Sunlight.
The Great Lioness. Deep Shadows - Blue.
Décor
Two things I focus on with décor are complimentary colors and placement.
Lead Nawth

Color- Both markings and background are light in many places, so I used Arctic White and Yarrow Décor. Monarch Butterfly compliments Amber eyes. Reddish purple colors in Serviceberry compliment Storm base and Losna Shepherd Heavy mark. Muted colors in Baltimore Checkerspot compliment background colors.
Placement- Plant décor on opposite sides fills space without looking cluttered. Butterflies form a roughly triangular shape.
