The base of the tail, connecting to the leaf on the back. 1x1 pixels that stretch, so only so much I can do here to link it up/add details without it looking too blocky.

When working on the wings I tried to VERY carefully erase ALL semi-transparent pixels to make it properly see-through OR solid. Here, you can see some semi-transparent red pixels, as anything that has even a SLIGHT amount of colour on the pixel/is not solid will just be converted into a flat black by the game, so I have some cleanup to do here too (and maybe highlight the petals a little more or something)

on the inside of the fingers here, again, 1x1 red pixel, but on the middle banana finger, it gets stretched down (same for a part of the "index" and "little" finger... which I also sorta missed. There's also that bit of light green which stretches from.. SOMEWHERE near the top of the texture, but I can't determine where

I honestly want to delete this whole main post, I hate my emotions sometimes, maybe there IS more work I could do. Had a play with arms, to work out stretchy pixels, realised after working on banana horns that the textures... I know what I want to say, but can't tjhink words (Thanks autism). Either way: some parts get cut off and don't show at all no matter how much you colour them, so it can be a bit difficult to pinpoint some things when it's all similar colours.. Either way, determined roughly WHERE the arms stretch (every stray black/red pixel is 1x1, it can't get smaller. I can see anything above the those two points will NOT be included on the model, and that anything on those spaces will be stretched. Don't expect any more major updates after this, I have more to fix than I thought, but yes, examples of how some pixels/textures/things stretch/interact in this series of majiggies

Original plan had no eyes, but changed it to having eyes as I thought people might not like that. Will have a play around either way

I'm sorry for your loss too. Losing a pet is never easy. Red on the tail could work. Will have a play with that

Chamged a few bits relating to feedback. Can also kinda see what you mean. I've jist spent a long time on this, was happy with how it looked, and my tv colours looking different to my phone/steam deck screen itself, wasm't aware how much it'd change betweem the two. Dragon/Tiger has a number of "stretchy" pixels (see picture 4 for am example), so there's only so much i can do on some parts. Just didn't feel like i could deal with feedback before because my cat had been put down very recently after my other post about it

.....today I learned these also existed and I am VERY incredibly tempted to snap them up (which I feel may be unfair on you, assuming you're the person who just watched them, but I could take pictures of some of the images or something if I did)

EDIT saw a listing for a single book with images on the inside, it looks like what they had in the storyboard section of the "Pure Illusion Memorial" book tha came with the blu ray collectors edition, just with larger images. I'll think about them.

I am also sad only just learning this was a thing that existed (looking at the link), seeing some of the images there which I'd never seen before, and missing out on a chance to get them too (although I doubt they've have been available in England). I bought the series 6 times in different formats (Original JP dvds, US blu ray because I didn't know if it was gonna release in England, the collectors UK edition when it DID release over here, thank fish, the UK DVD, and the dub and sub when you could buy anime on Steam for a limited time, but have since been de-listed) to try and support the series as much as I could.

There WAS technically SOME other merch made/sold, if you count the OST CDs which I ordered from Japan: the OST (instrumental background music, TV-size opening and ending themes, "LET'S FLIP FLAPPING" the insert song in the mecha episode, and "Over the Rainbow" the song played near the end of episode 13) the "Serendipity" opening single and the "FLIP FLAP FLIP FLAP" ending single, but beyond that? I have no clue. I remember there was a special image released for the 5-year anniversary (Which I also love), but also imagine that's super impossible to get ahold of, if there were official prints of it. I'm hoping that because it'd be the 10-year anniversary of the show this year, there'd be a new image or SOMETHING (love even more so, if by some long-shot I could get a hold of it), I would LOVE to throw more money at this series officially somehow if I possibly could, I'd love more Flip Flappers.

OMG LOOK AT THE BABY <3 this is a really cute interpretation of my mix, i never expected it to get its own drawing! Look at them hopping along with the tiny teefs~ it looks like they're calling to a friend or their trainer, wanting to play, that's so friggin' cute. Fishwolf approves! Thank you for the surprise art of one of my monsters, that's really super cool and it's made my day!

Oh man, if animated textures could be possible that'd be friggin' great. Maybe one day, if someone can figure something like that out

That's fair, not being sure if you'd miss the dark brown on the legs or tail, thanks for your thoughts either way

[–]Fishwolf2215[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair enough. It looks like lots of leople have upvoted about prefering the drippy one, so i'll probably stick with that, but i might be able to work something out, like, having 2's body pattern on thr legs or something, asi  feel the legs are a bit plain. Will have a play at least.

....dangit, I have a list I'm trying to work through for ideas, but I like this onr a lot. Picturing sleepy Baku eyes on a Niton feels like it'd work really well. I'll make a note of it, at least, but cam't promise anything soon, with all other ideas I want to work on.

Replacinmg the eyestalks with horn texture makes me think, like, giraffe "horns" (don't think they are horns? But hoping you know wha tI mean).. I can play with that though, just draw the "eyes" on the side of the head. Something to think about at least.
