#### New Skill & Upgrades - Customize the Color & Textures of your animals!

I had an idea that there could be a new skill & upgrades for a large amount of IMG (Imagination) that would allow you to customize the color & textures of animals Piggy, Butterfly, & Chicken that are nameable. There could be a selection of colors & textures that have been approved by Tiny Speck. The colors & textures could be unlockable, like the snap filters are.
PIGture EGGample of Animal Paint Upgrade: Oink me!
Example:
1. I have unlocked Animal Kinship V and am now able to name animals. I am now able to learn a new skill called Animal Painting 101. This new skill allows me to choose new upgrades that let me change the color of animals called Animal Paint. These upgrades will be found in the Perks category.
2. I learn Animal Painting 101, and then I open up my upgrades for the day and notice an upgrade called Animal Paint. It costs a large amount of i(magination) (In my photo example I didn't make it require a lot of imagination!) I purchase this upgrade and I can now receive different color paint upgrades that I can use on my animals!
3. I go back and look at my upgrades again and I notice there is a type of animal paint called Animal Paint: Gravy. I purchase this and now I can paint my pig a gravy color & texture! There will be many more colors & textures to choose from!
Picture Example: Clickour!
Example:
1. Now that I have a few Animal Paint Upgrades I can paint my pig a new color & texture! I click on my Piggy and choose Paint.
2. The paints I have unlocked will appear here at the bottom of the screen and I can select which one to use on my animal! Just drag and drop it on my animal like I would when I'm dragging paint to my wall!
[Also, animals that are added in the future that are nameable should also be paintable!]
[The Staff of Tiny Speck is welcome to edit & add to this idea.]

- If you want it as a filter on the camera...thats fine. But i really dont want to be wandering where ever, and have bright colored possibly neon , animals everywhere. It would become quite an eyesore, fairly fast, as the majority of animals can be named by any player that has high enough lvl of the Animal Kinship skill.

- The colors could be good looking ones approved by the staff of Glitch, so perhaps there could be about 10 or so. I agree though that there would probably be unsightly neon colored ones if they allowed every possible color to be chosen...

- I'd also like an upgrade to be able to dress animals in silly hats. Maybe the changes only last for a time. Would be a nice resource sink, perhaps?

- +1 to some additional Glitch-approved colors for animals (Animal Husbandry II)
  and +1 to silly (and dignified) animal hats.

- Also, upgrades to make animals do dances, say silly things, etc.
  How much would you pay to see your butterflies do a performance of Hamlet?

- Maybe we could feed them potions and they would change color and give slightly different resources for a period of time; just for more variety. I.e., brown potion could make pigs give cooked meat, chickens barley and butterflies chocolate milk. Come to think of it, that could be a way to get more resources out of the current set of animals.

- Thank you everyone for contributing! I added 2 picture links to help showcase the idea, as well as elaborated more!

- I'd much prefer the animal color tell me something useful, like if the piggy can be nibbled today, or the butterfly can be sung to.

- @Sturminator IX , If you hover over pigs they tell you if they need to be petted or can be nibbled with a small chat bubble. Butterflies tell you if they have any milk. Chickens tell you if they can be squeezed. It would be better if we create a suggestion for that, where butterflies tell you if they can be sung to or massaged as well. And the chat bubbles appear even without hovering over them.

- Try hovering at 10-15 fps, or when 20+ animals are around a stick. It is impossible.

- Additional colors, maybe just hatch randomly? Brown, Black, Spotted, and other natural colors? That or i like the changed by a potion idea, to again neutral / natural colors?

- Not only do I love your idea, but I especially love the way you presented it. It was extremely imaginative and very sincere. I really hope (even as difficult as it might be) that TS considers somthing like this.:)

- Sturminator IX, I'm going to be submitting an idea that may help you out with that. ;)
  Thank you Muncey Mango! I hope something good comes out of my ideas. :)
