Just a technicality, but the Old Malii feet flames could be transluscent like the wing flames? -shrug- Everything looks great, by the way. That's a lot of work you put in.

It's a rather minor detail that I didn't really think to do since the flames are opaque, but I suppose it's fine to add. Updated.

I really love these new profiles of the size guides, as well as the written description and the images of animals in comparison with humans in it, thank you for making them Xentus! <3 I think I did notice something about some of the sizes though, with the Estharne since one can ride on them, and in the description it says they stand shoulder to shoulder with an average-sized man (both the v1 and v2 have it on the Biology and Anatomy part) wouldn’t that mean they are bigger then currently presented? Or the Galabex who are said that they can be used for mounts as well? (Their size right now when compared to the human image makes it seem they won’t be able to carry a human, more like size 4/5 for the smaller one.) Might I suggest with the Seeker because one common breed doesn’t have the spines, that those spines in the guide would be made more grey so that it is easier to see what the actual height of the Primal Seeker is? There are about two breeds that don’t share the spines (though one does have a fur coat instead) in the stat area so I am hoping to see if that is a possibility?

You're welcome c: I think there was a handful of the original charts provided by you, so you were a big help in this project!
For the estharnes, I took it that their size description meant that if they reared up they could stand shoulder to shoulder with a man. Going off that, and that they were at least mount sized, I made sure adult looked maybe big enough to (barely) ride, but looking back on it now I do think they could be bumped up a bit. I'll increase the galabex size as well, they're rather scanty. Seeker change can do too! I made them before I thought of greying out slight breed differences.
Will update soon Updated! Also made the seekers a big bigger 'cause they looked too small as well

Thank you! Though the Felusine was provided by Darky from what I remember (and their might be two/three others from different people?), we all did our part. :D (Wouldn't it have made more sense then that it said in the description when they rear up it would be that height?) The Estharne now look like they can really carry someone on their back compared to before. <3 And so does the Galabex! Scanty certainly seems the right word for the size they used to be, since the legs just didn't look strong enough to hold even a 5'6 person. Seeker! <33 I definitely really like the modifications you did with them, it makes much more sense height wise what they are capable of, and in the case of the Seeker just easier to see what the height of the Primal is like. :D Will you also end up doing the Sarane, Alurook and Orbaru as well? I figure with the special sets they can just use the numbers for the crossbreeding set you made, but with the three I mentioned the Sarane has in their image only the male (It would actually be really interesting if you see in the grayed areas their tier ranks 1-2-3 with how it might affect their size a little <The male with the horns for example>.) version is seen, the Alurook misses the baby stage, and with the orbaru it misses the different breed stages in there (the Battle Orbaru in particular is mentioned in the breed section to be 7 feet tall). X3 Edit: I also found some info on the Rakai-Sarane at here (Ctrl+f rakai, 2nd part), is it actually saying at that part the Rakai-Sarane is as big as a Cave Vulticus when adult (but thinner in shape), or am I reading that part wrong? Here it is copy/pasted, and made the text bold on the part I am talking about.
--
*he clears his throat and quickly changes the subject* The Rakai's jaw structure, as well as tooth structure is almost exactly like that of a Dire Wolf's. The Rakai will use it's bite to hold onto their prey, and pull them down by their body weight.. usually the body weight of several pack-members, actually. I have seen an adult Rakai, and let me tell you they are impressive animals... however, they lack the 'bulk' that the cave vulticus seems to carry, and instead are... yes, more lanky. Lanky will be the word I choose. However, do not mistake 'lank' for loss of power or stamina, as their muscles and scales make up for it! A rakai's ears are quite expressive, like a dog's, and will stand up like a wolf's. As far as their crest of longer scales on their backs go, yes, they are like hackles... they raise, and even rattle, when angry. I have yet to see a Rakai wag it's tail, though I no doubt the very tip of it will wag... When excited however (excited by happy, by angry, or even when hunting), I have seen a rakai's tail "whip", swinging broadly back and forth very quickly.

Sarane, Alruook, and Orbaru are all up next! I had envisioned doing all that you've mentioned actually, funny enough X)
I'm still trying to figure out how I'll do the special set size comparison charts, but I'm leaning toward showing all the different species on the chart together instead of the reference with numbers. I'm looking for an image of the Leaf hopper (not leaf scatter) if there's one floating around

Lol, we think alike on it than. X3 I might have it? I'll upload it in a sec and you can see if it is the one, though the background would be white sadly. Edit; Is this the Leaf Hopper?

Grabbed it and yeeted the white background.

Without the white background looks so much better. <3 Thanks Morgan! :D

No probs, I can do that with almost any image that doesn't have the 'sample' stamp on it.

Thanks both of you! <3 I didn't even remember what the leaf hopper looked like, but its mighty cute. I believe I now have all the images I need now to make proper charts!
Also just saw your edit about the Rakai, that does read to me that they're about the same size as a cave vulti, yeah. I'll tweak them to be bigger

Oh Formica are on the mount list. So looks like they were meant to be larger? xP

Post by Xentus on Jul 27, 2020 17:17:53 GMT -6
Formica had a chart already so I used it exactly (aside from adding the other breeds)
I'm not sure how they're supposed to be mount sized... Except maybe for 'dwarf' sized characters?

Lol how strange. Maybe it was planned for the old stage? Or maybe just a glitch in the matrix

Only one I remember as a giant formica that was used as a mount is the one custom Jacob owns and that one is actually a baby. (I remember in the roleplay a ladder was used to climb on top of that one.) X3
The Sarane guide looks awesome Xentus! :D Its real easy to see with the female the wing pattern, and with the male it took me a few seconds longer as the surface area is smaller in comparison to see it, but it is visible. <3
I laughed at the size of the Battle Orbaru, those guys can easily learn intimidation with their size alone. XD
