Shades of Battler, Animated (467), DragonBones (260)

With coplaints about the scorpion lunchbox being too fresh, a new long-since deceased menu has been introduced!


Scorpion - Bone Stalker









And, for those who wish for that extra bit of iron in their diet...


Scorpion - Metal Stalker

more scorpions = more likes

Yum scorpions

Lately I've been contemplating creating more 'gimmicky' battlers, these tend to be harder to setup and/or are more limited in use but allow for more unique encounters:

• Stances - example: tortoise monster with unique set of animations for hiding in shell (not just a defend pose)
  
• Alternate forms (similar to stances) - example: tree monster with a flaming variation for catching fire but with unique animations
  
• Non-standardised animations - the bomb battlers from my original release are an example of this ('ready_magic' replaced with flashing and 'cast' with explosion)
  
• Multi-part bosses - a staple for most RPGs
  

Whoever said it was a good idea to bottle magic?


Bottled Magic













As they say, as dead as a...


Deadly Dodo - Axebeak

OH YESSS, can you read minds? The Dodo would've been the next Monster I wanted after the scorpions :D

@Goldschuss Nothing wrong with a good mind read before bed  ;)


Well this is awkward, 2 new variations, neither of which are animated...


Wild Beast - Sabertooth





Deadly Dodo - Bladebeak

Our new attraction has arrived, they're fluffy, so very fluffly but don't get too close, they don't like hugs.


Wild Beast









Sabertooth













My withdrawal has gotten bad, I couldn't help it, there just wasn't enough cuteness!


Dargo Rider - Rabbit Knight

The rabbit knight is sublime. The design is just so- cute? Dangerous?

 I love your battlers, they are so awesome. I just wish they had map sprites.

Oh my, these are so cute... If I'd use them in a game, I wonder If I could even kill them xD

Looking amazing! <3


Thanks again :D

Wow... This is just.... wow. I'd love to see some more Retrobots.

Wow, didn't think I'd be able to finish it for this mid-week update, but here he is; Cerberus the beast of hell!


Cerberus - Hell-Beast





As a bonus here he is as a 'multi-part' enemy.


Unfortunately I have not yet worked out a good way to animate it in multiple parts; apart from resorting to a very rigid near-static set of animations...

ShadowHawkDragon, do you think you could make some regular human characters? 

@RawkHawk humans and human-like designs tend to be significantly harder, but I'll consider mixing in a few during future releases.


What's scarier than a deadly beast? A deadly beast with the wings and body of an eagle and the fangs and claws of a beast, capable of perusing its prey across all terrain!


Winged Beast

Right, now that we have a fare few new scary beasts and birdies it time to give my backlog of ideas and suggestions a run over.


Ever wondered why dodo's went extinct or why vikings never ran out of quality axes?


Cloudian - Viking









For some the month of October goes by another name, Inktober! Here is my homage to those with the determination to ink an image every day; just think, not being able to rub out your mistakes!!


Anima - Artist Cat









And finally the day has come. The day the roles of livestock and owner are reversed!


Anima Soldier - Farm Sheep

I so love them.. the farmer sheep, Artist Cat, and even the Viking Cloudian are great not to mention Anzu, horncrusher and the sabertooth.  You just keep rolling out these amazing pieces of work.  I can say anything but I love it.  So glad to see the farmer sheep too got to have the citizens that the sheep cultists come from. :)   If you are running low on any ideas you can always make some form of druidic anima since anima would most likely be close to nature.

Yeah you did the viking cloudian ;D  that was amazing

Meet the dodo, a peaceful yet flightless bird. Just don't anger him or you'll be leaving in pieces!


Deadly Dodo









Bladebeak













Pick your poison, death by chomping or death by ear-rending wailing!?


Maneaterdrake - Snapper (rooted/unrooted)

With his pledge to nature this little guy has gained powers over life, weak powers with little to no effect, but powers no less!


Homunculus - Druid









Realising the spells of nature were not working as he had hoped a class change to the spiritual arts was in need!


Homunculus - Monk









Yet another class swap for the homunculus who, now, has gone from creation to creator!


Homunculus - Scientist









Nothing like a shiney globe floating in mid-air just above your head, ready to drop!


Magical Object - Golden Orb









The power of magic, ground and refined into liquid form and stuffed into a cramped bottle; is it that surprising it's angry?


Magical Object - Potion









Halloween is on its way, quick grab those pumpkins before they run out, literally!


Living Object - Pumpkin
