Costume Corner

Hello, and welcome to the Animal Jam Whip's Costume Corner, where you can find tips and tricks on how to make your animals look awesome!

Tip #1: Compliment Your Colors

A lot of outfits these days are made by combining colors we classify as "complementary". Complementary colors are colors that are on the opposite side of the color wheel. For example:

Image result for complementary color wheel

Red and green "compliment" each other, and so does yellow and purple, orange and blue, etc.

So when you're coloring your animal, using complementary colors is a great idea. ^.^

Tip #2: Shade Your Colors

Many people seem to color their animals with different shades of different colors. For example, one may use this color scheme of aqua blues:


The colors fade from dark to light. This is yet another great coloring idea!

Tip #3: Patterns Of Emotion

Did you know that the patterns on Animal Jam can sometimes show emotion? Look at the chart below for information.

Swirls: Calm, relaxed
Jagged Lines: Confused, perplexed
Large Spots: Lazy, tired
Small Spots: Sad, depressed
Funky Spots: Crazy, playful, excited
Flames: Angry, furious
Lightning Bolts: Fierce, strong
Leaves: Peaceful, gentle
Hearts: Loving, caring
Crescents: Sympathetic, apologetic
Stars: Happy, cheerful
Hibiscus Flowers: Joyful
Flowers: Prideful, relieved
Triangles: Anxiety
Skulls: Sinful, greedy, wanting vengeance
Starfish: Pleased, glad

Use these original patterns to describe who you are and how you feel!

  17. Okay so, I was playing an all time classic RPG game, Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch. I ran into this little fellow named Tommy Stout! I was like OMG! He would do perfect on my bunny! So I made Jumping Tommy! Alright down to business. To make this cute dude that wants to be a warrior do the following: Make Color 1 a Tan color. Make Color 2 Dark Brown. Patterns:None. Make him have boy-ish brown eyes. Then for the dressing part! Make him have a Frying Pan head. (If you hacked and can get a rainbow frying pan hat use the original.) For the body have Elf Armor or Knight Armor (Elf Armor works the best!) and for the legs add Leaf Cuffs (Bad me I meant to say Leaf Braces >.<) Then Abra-Cadabra! You have Tommy! The about 4 year old kid that wants to be a soilder! -Starwolves101 P.S. I made this outfit so if someone says Ohh... well that Star is a copier. Thanks!

  37. Twinkle daughter of the Alpha GreelySeptember 28, 2018 at 1:21 PM

    Hi, Twinkle Here. Im known as a huge roleplayer/protector of jamaa ( that parts not a roleplay) When i roleplay, i've made many many looks throughout my years living in jamaa, so i figured i'd share one of them with you. If you are aware of the eighty's movie labyrinth, then this look may be for you, of course this one is mostly on play wild but can work for pc. First thing you wanna do it get a arctic wolf, and turn its fur into the lightest blond you can get it. Next your going to turn the eyes blue, darkest blue you can get. (since you cant have two different colored eyes)Once you have got that, Take a spooky cloak (ajpw) or any other sort of black cape like item. Next you want to get a White or grey moon necklace.
    The next thing you will need is a black and yellow eclipse tail.
    The Final thing you will need for this costume is either black musketeer boots, or any other type of black boots.
    Ive got tons of other ideas for roleplays, so, if you ever want some help. i will be on this site regularly.

  38. Hi, Nafaria! I have some ideas for the Firestar outfit.
    In the pictures of Firestar on the book covers, official art and manga art, he is all orange. Also he is a cat, not a dog, so I think he would look better on a lynx, couger or fox.
    Also, he is a cat. Kate Cary (the original author of Warriors) has stated that she wants Warriors to be as realistic as possible. That means no swords, crowns, scepters etc.
    Overall, Firestar or any cats in general (I guess for kittypets you can use necklaces or something), try to be realistic!
    I hope this will help you when channeling your inner Firestar.
