The 31 days of MECHAWEEN!

Just a quicky for today

 

Y'know, just my favourite Mythological monster ever.

 

 

Tomorrow we begin an exciting expedition into the magical lands of the Fey!

WELCOME TO THE WEEK OF MAGICAL FEY

 

Let's just get right to it: Fey are horrible. Fey will kill you, remorselessly, for breaking laws or taboos you didn't know existed.

 

On the other hand, get on their good side, and you can end up with glorious treasure and help. Fey are not only horrifying, but the end of October happens around the time the walls between worlds is supposed to be weak. So get ready for some new creatures to inflict upon your players, and a few updates to stuff that just needed it

 

Today's Fey is one of those things NWN missed for some reason. Because while its always had stats, there hasn't really been a unique Grig model ingame, has there? So say hello to the Fey musician, missing his wings while I get a wing model that'll work

So this is another one of those CCC inspired things, mostly from my attempts to make a decent Cwn Annwn following the uh, exploration CCC I think? Someone came up with the idea of doing up ShadowM's ported NWN 2 Hellhound with a new skin to represent it

 

Okay, it'll work better than my other idea and look more unique! Say hello to something to avoid. Don't end up like Aeon here and chased by these things every time he tries to go home to his 'legally obtained mansion', by which I mean 'Stolen mansion possibly placed on a nexus between worlds'

 

 

Tomorrow I'll hopefully chuck in some other character from these 'wonderful tales' I've got brewing here. You haven't even seen the bard who managed to get a hold of the horn that can destroy buildings yet.

FYI, the language used for this creature is Welsh, it is pronounced Kun Anun and it translates as dogs of hell.

Will these creations include full statistics, combat skins, claws, bite damage, MR, DR, spell effects, appropriate HD as imported .erf files that don't collide with CEP or Project Q appearance.2da lines?


I am loving all these original beasts you're making! Looking forward to your 12-days of Christmas release! '> '>

FP!

Indeed, though they are linked with the whole general 'Wild Hunt' myths you tend to find that are in a few regions. I associate that with Elves in my world

 

For, y'know, stealing souls

FP!

Sadly no on the stats, though the Grig has stats and I'm sure a few of the others do '>

 

We'll see about Christmas. There's a few monsters that I was hoping to make that got sort of shut out due to the themed weeks I'm coming up with

 

Today's fey is... Sort of a Fey. Sometimes. Other times its an elemental, showing the transient nature between these two nature-related creatures

 

So grab your swimsuit and come on down to the beach for an interview with the Undine. Unless you're Mey who's just there to swap stories, being a bard and therefore attempting to get as many stories as possible

 

 

For tomorrow's stuff to go well, what's everyone's favourite Cat model? I've got some plans for felines, following the Cwn Annwn

So here's an oldie I found lurking around, something that seems to have survived the great harddrive failure of a few years back when I lost my older models. Unfortunately suffering from some bounding box issues (Anyone have a good solution for those, offhand?)

 

 

Will be improved in terms of skin and colouration by the time he gets out, I'm sure I can make that a bit more grey and less... Grungy green.

 

The last 3 days of this Feystravaganza are, of course, where I've kept the more interesting fey. Hopefully the last one will shock and surprise all, but the next two shouldn't be laughed at either.

               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Mecheon]

               

The problem with this one is that it will reveal the remaining creatures. But oh well

 

 

The Jubjub Bird! There's a version of this in Pathfinder that I'm not a fan of because, well, its just a de-feathered therapod. So I looked up some images and decided to go for ostrich/vulture thing

 

I'm not sure on colour scheme though, let me know if you have any ideas. I'm sliiiightly tempted by the all-pink version though

               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Tarot Redhand]

               

Both and any other colour variation you can come up with, The more the merrier.

[Legacy_Zwerkules]

               

Will the bandersnatch be the next? And maybe a mome rath with an outgribe animation.

               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Tarot Redhand]

               

Or perhaps the Oozlum bird (Carry on up the Jungle reference) or maybe the OoMaGoolies bird (bad joke (parental guidance) reference)?

[Legacy_KlatchainCoffee]

               

Something undersea with tentacles would be good, like Kraken-esque, jellyfishy or even crabby... '>

Noted accordingly! I think the Jubjub is going to end up with 3 variants, the Elven cat with 2, and the next critter, well...

 

 

Or perhaps the Oozlum bird (Carry on up the Jungle reference) or maybe the OoMaGoolies bird (bad joke (parental guidance) reference)?  

 

TR

The Oozlum bird was considered, though dropped for the Final Three here

 

Something undersea with tentacles would be good, like Kraken-esque, jellyfishy or even crabby...  '>

I did consider that one elemental turtle/crab thing, but it didn't get beyond "Maybe if I take a crab and stick some flippers on it" sadly

 

Will the bandersnatch be the next? And maybe a mome rath with an outgribe animation.

'>

 

Beware the Frumious bandersnatch. No mome raths, unfortunately.

 

 

I think we can guess what tomorrow is going to be...

               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Mecheon]

               

Its time. The final Fey creature, and as per my hints, unquestionably linked to the Bandersnatch and Jubjub bird

 

 

Fey week is over! Next week (Read: Tomorrow) we start to take a vastly different view, looking up towards the sky for some odd things to show up

On the Jabberwock, what tileset is that?
