    I seem to remember a tiny lizard-like alien creature in the first Ark 2 trailer...and there were more-normal-sized-ants and whatnot so it would be nice to have more ambient creatures just...around. In LOTRO there would sometimes just be a flock of birds that would go across the sky in the distance that were never actually "close" to you and whatnot, so even just a visual like that would be nice here and there.

    Alright, so you know my opinions on fantasy vs realism but I think THIS one you nailed it! Large animals DO communicate with song and feeling vibrations of steps over great distances (whales, elephants...) so it could be completely viable for this animal to do so too and then adding in a "dance" adds some fun flavor without pushing it too far. THIS guy, I admit, I actually REALLY like! I'm not super big on "big bois" but THIS I want! I'd completely suck with it as I have no rhythm and I'm sure lag could throw me off a beat, but I'd give him a go! This one, Shockal, is definitely going in my top picks!!! Good luck in this round of votes, dude! I'd love to see this guy in there, he's my absolute favorite of all the BIG entries in here!

    I gotta say if there WAS an alternate fur to my dossier design...I'd 100% be ok with @Sovira 's design! I do love it!

    it really would!!!! Tracking is something I really hope gets added to the game, especially since they mentioned Ark2 things were supposed to be able to follow your scent!
  5. LittleSpicyOreos
    PUPPY!!! I want a tracker in the game soooooo bad!

    Thank you so much! I don't know that we can claw our way into the top 10 but I'll be happily supporting your "kitty" if it can hang in there! I REALLY like it!

    Per my avatar "Thyla Life" I've come to love the thylas Ark has given us so I am all for a new one too! And man I LOVE your art!!!! Thank you for supporting team cheetah and I am here to proudly support this! If our kitty loses, I'll take yours

    Thank you to everyone for appreciation and support. A LOT of work has gone into this beloved cat! We've been planning on trying to get it ready for Extinction for a long time now and we still have so much art in-progress! Myself and my husband have a 2 year old daughter irl so we only get an hour or two a day to work on art which has made some of it slow-going but we have soooo many ideas and love to give with this animal!

    My crayon-colored just for fun "okapi" color pattern as well haha , because the team loved it so much:Also the color suggestions from my 2 year old Yes, with pink shoes colored in by her daddy per her suggestion.

    Thank you so very much! There has been a LOT of work put into this kitty! Cheetahs are extremely near and dear to my, and Raeph's heart, and my husband, PaulStewart, has been trying to go all-in on helping us too! There's a lot of heart in this entry and it feels very good to have it recognized! We appreciate it!

    Because there isn't much Miracinonyx in this Miracinonyx. Purposefully, to a degree. In discussing the Giant Cheetah with Shockal's Miracinonyx posts there was a definitive difference in our chosen styles of creature creation. Our Giant Cheetah team, especially having a Zoologist lead it, has focused very much on validity of the abilities in reference to the true, real life modern animal and its ancestor. We focused on realism for our game mechanics so that the cheetah would look and feel like a cheetah. Shockal wanted to focus on the game mechanics that they wished to see in the game and a more fantastical, "over the top" (as in making it be able to outrun the fastest flyers whereas real cheetahs--and the cougar-relative Miracinonyx--weren't capable of out-running the fastest flyers in real life, but not completely "over the top" as in out of the realm of possibility for WC to implement) feel for a speedster and applied it to the Miracinonyx name. So, if you're looking for a realistic "cheetah" then you want Raeph's Acinonyx, and if you're looking for the speedster mechanics offered here then you want Shockal's Miracinonyx, and if you want a cheetah--ANY cheetah--and don't really care then you can vote for either...or both! But you are correct in that this is a very fantasy version of the animal made to suit Shockal's needs and the Acinonyx was kept more realistic in its designs. It was how we best decided to stay separate of each other as "teams" as well. Leaning hard into what we wanted to see for the cheetah submissions. And thus it becomes a matter of preference (or lack of preference) between how much one prefers their Ark creatures to seem close to the real thing versus really enjoys the more mythical elements to the creatures in the game. And a side note, I have a feeling were this to win that WC would make it look more like the real thing (though I could totally be wrong on that, you never know, but they did "fix" the faso to look more like the real animal versus the submitted creator's design) if it's purely a looks thing turning one off too. I'd like it to look like the real animal a bit more, but my preference is the side of realism. I really love Shockal's designs as a fantasy cat species. But that is just my opinion. The Acinonyx will be back for Extinction, we have every intention. So if it is more your style, feel free to watch for it there. And if it can't get anywhere there, it might go against this cat again in Valguero. Maybe.

    Thank you for being a very encouraging supporter of our creature and our art!
  14. LittleSpicyOreos
    If he doesn't get traction this round, I definitely hope you bring him back for other maps! I do adore him!
  15. LittleSpicyOreos
    You just made my night and became my new friend haha! Seriously, though, your kind words mean the world!
  16. LittleSpicyOreos
    We've got more art that we're working on putting in it too, so watch for that to appear if you liked this! Also, this was me still learning how to paint in the art program on our tablet so I'm SOOOOO happy that the design is appreciated!

    Hi! I designed that crude tek saddle sketch and wanted to say: I was using references of the tek tapejara and tek rex saddles for how covering they were while trying to make sure to get in the elements I wanted to convey (some "wings and tail feathers" to imitate a falcon since that's the fastest animal alive and the "oxygen mask" on the face) BUT I 100% admit that tek/mechanical stuff is NOT my forte so I can definitely appreciate the feedback! A tek variant would be interesting on Extinction too, but I also know my husband has ideas for a "low tech/tek saddle" idea for Extinction that sounds neat and definitely less covering too! So if it makes it there, maybe he can draw that. And I wouldn't care if WC were to do their own thing if it were to win...or remove the tek saddle entirely, though I liked some of the ideas that were made for it (better than my original thoughts for the saddle's abilities lol)

    omg that pic from your zoo!!!!!! I'm dying of cuteness!
  19. LittleSpicyOreos
    Thank you!!!! Working SOOOO hard together with the hubby to make this dossier!
  20. LittleSpicyOreos
    Ok, I don't have any of this in any super-organized fashion as I was literally just jotting down all thoughts as we brain-stormed and never made it around to fleshing it out into a dossier/well-written format but I'm just going to type up all the notes we made on abilities. So, if you see something you like and want to make it smoother, feel free! * Could be shoulder mount but would also like to see it Ark-dilo-sized with "saddle bags" like hyenadon *Herd (pack) bonus ("alpha" called Scout? Lookout?) * Diet = seeds (and mushrooms?) *Temperment = Curious (but wary, defensive around young) *Limited mortar & pestle? Definitely craftable special items in inventory **Ability= CALLS: Can mimic animal in distress to add aggro from aggressive animals to lure them in (for help trapping). // Can mimic aggressive roar to startle other creatures away. // Can sing/coo serenade to reduce breeding cool-downs. **Ability= BURROW: defensive to burrow itself (only tail out?) to hide and disguise and only quills available for enemies to "bite" (which then would take damage from attacking the quills) **Ability= QUILLS: naturally can stick into predators and cause irritation (minor damage) over time for short period. Quills lost regrow over time. > QUILLS AS ITEMS: various craftable "coatings" can be applied to harvested quills to use them as glow sticks or tranq arrows for example. >> fed narcoberries/ascerbic mushrooms - slightly more potent tranq arrows; fed items with charge - quills become glowstick that can be placed precisely on ground or attached to things with a slightly brighter range and minor "glow aura"; fed Z fruit/seeds - flashbang arrows with greater distance than throwing the fruit; etc! **Ability= CARRY: can carry shoulder pets in arms held against its belly (this would help so you could bring more than one glow pet into an area with you at a time!) **Abilitiy= OH, SHINIES! : Can gather gems from roll rats without gaining aggro & pick up "bits" from earthquakes (the idea behind this being that they might use shiny objects to decorate their nests in the wild to impress potential mates). Also the ability to gather stones with a chance of getting crystal passively when left to wander which could be used on other maps. **Ability= WARNINGS: like jerboa, can detect & warn about earthquakes and radiation areas as well as poisonous mushroom spots by squawking and flaring tails in different visual displays. (they had very good senses of smell and so may translate to being highly perceptive of dangers in-game) **Ability/Mode= NANNY: mate-boosted pairs can help raise young decreasing baby food needs and increasing imprint/growth speed. If camp/babies attacked, they will defend them. Attacks: bite, tail swipe, kick?, calls.

    So glad to see this guy back! I thought it was a fair Ragnarok submission and definitely could work on Aberration too!!!
  22. LittleSpicyOreos

Best of luck, GO SPIDER GO!!!!! I soooooo want this on Aberration!!!!!! Keeping all 8 legs crossed for the win!

    Hey, thank you SOOOO much for the Twitter link! THAT one said "thanks for voting" after I hit submit so it seems it definitely took my vote THAT time! Also, I don't HAVE Twitter and never have had it so I had no idea it was sitting there for almost a week before they put it up in the community crunch! ><
  25. LittleSpicyOreos
    I did try that but it seemed to stall out too, whereas in the last votes it hadn't. Part of me worries that if I try too many times, too, I might be "duplicating my vote" and thus "disqualifying" it
