I'd like to start with this image.
The first image is unsaturated (normal colors) and the second is saturated to show the huge difference in hues.

As shown, the normal-type Tortodrone set differs hugely from the actual Tortodrone itself in terms of texture. For one, the gear is higher-quality, which is interesting, but my main focus is on the coloration. The Tortodrone is considerably more pink than its respective gear, and the dark orange that borders the weapons isn't present anywhere on the "aggroed" tortodrone at all.

Then there's the issue of Personal Colors. I reeeeally want a personal color between Lake (shown) and Red that matches the coloration of the energy lines on the gear, because with the Purple coloration I can equip the Gorgofist/Gorgomega and have them actually match my palette.

Also, I like the thought of the Tortofist gear's textures going towards a re-vamp of the original Tortodrone texture, because it would make them look way cooler and shinier than they are currently. (Course, they don't look half bad as-is, but you get where i'm coming from).

One more thing I'd like to note is that the "eye" pattern is different between the Shield and the Tortodrone.

tl;dr Lake, Grand Tortoise, and Tortodrone colorations are all out of whack and it's throwing me off mods pls help
