               On it. ':ph34r:'

Thanks for the request/idea.  I'm sure the druids in my PW will appreciate such creatures once they're available in-game.

Shouldn't take more than a couple days.  Going to retexture a few critters with brand new textures, test them out, and throw them on the Vault when they are ready for general use.

I'll probably do some seasonal variants (autumn and spring) if the summer ones turn out looking good.

               Nevermind on the spring and autumn versions.  They look nice with summer/green leaves, but don't look right with flowers of any sort or with leaves all in fall browns/oranges.

Some creatures are straight reskins, some have some model adjustments done.

Triceratops, Dire Boar, Lion (from reference picture): ready for in-game testing tomorrow
Bear, Deer, Dire Wolf: ready for in-game testing tomorrow
Me: off to bed because it's now after 2am...

               Oh my god, you're awesome AD.

I meant I couldn't find anything like it in the vault or available to the community.

               awesome work as usual AD!
if you havent posted them already I would offer one suggestion to make them really 'wow'
maybe add a VFX to them like what the standard forest tileset has for its falling foliage (leaves)
I think one or two of those VFX on the model itself will lend to that 'living bush'

if not no biggie, these are still awesome and will def. be added to my own PW as almost all your stuff is!

Good idea.  I'll have to try that and see how it looks. '<img'>

               Thats what I love about Amethyst! He is always willing to take advice and one of the remaining few builders out there that not only produce top notch stuff but is always willing to share it right away!

as I said, def. going to be using them for my druids in my PW...maybe even give ol' draygoth a link as i am sure he could put them to good use as rideable mounts!!
