How very cute!

Imagine a Micro Eli, Micro Harry, and Micro Big Cat (and just what is our big cat's nickname?!?)

lol...I don't know! Kitty? As in Kitty Cat? Don't ask me to name things I'm hopeless at it...

But I like the idea of a micro range...

Jag (it is a Jaguar/panther after all)? Or maybe "Sport" (being a Jaguar that is...)

I've seen that lil' micro eli. Cute little potato.

We'll have to keep names in mind for the big cat for sure. Will be fun to see what naturally sticks of if we pick a name and go with that.

Isn't he just...

Sometimes it's best to see what naturally sticks...when I used to make dolls I used to swear that they would tell me their names when the time was right.

That's so true. Sometimes I have to practically beg my people to tell me their name though. A few of them have stubbornly refused.

Thanks, I've been lurking for a bit. The new animals look great!

The big cat is Charlie! You know, like Charlie the Lonesome Cougar. I always liked Charlie the Cougar. I never seem to have male pets (all my pets are rescues who needed homes, given to me by family and friends), or I would have named my cat Charlie. Instead, her name is Calleigh. My little Ajani's Sunstriker! If you play Magic: The Gathering, you know what I mean ;-)


Back to topic, Chris, that baby elephant is adorable. I'll need to get the elephant textures off my old hard drive and send those over to you guys. They'll need a bit more work, but I think they were more or less finished, if I remember correctly.

I'm really excited for both the elephant and the cougar/jaguar.

Will there be a White texture and a Pink texture please?

Well, I was keen to add some more depigmentation options, so perhaps I could make a full "pink" texture to mask off for depigmentation. And since white elephants are essentially fully depigmented elephants, it would work for that, perhaps with a little desaturation. For a "fantasy" PINK elephant, that texture could simply have its saturation increased.
