Found this in my weekly Earthshot's feed. Seemed very appropriate, perhaps as a loadscreen?

Oh, and one for our favorite Hyena ;-)

<...and caring>
Wild african dogs are beautiful animals. Too bad they're nearly extinct.
Wish I had a Thylacine
<turning shades...>
That bottom one has stunning coloration. a photo that increases my wonder at the natural world.
<...of calico>
<Finally, at ease>
Do you know that Hyena's are neither related to the dog or cat family? They are their own distinct family....
(I have some in my hard drive but I couldn't let them out to play just yet.)
With 45min to spare I have just finished uploading my "Animals of the Savannah" to the CCC <whew>
In it there are 41 animals of eleven different types. (It is a whopper due to all the textures)
I just had to include the Ethiopian Wolf.
I want to take this opportunity to say...
"Thank you to the community for the fantastic support and the CCC for providing the forum to manifest it"
I hope that y'all might really come to enjoy these first of my African beasts (plus some extras), so I put a lot of effort into it.
There is still lots more to be done to each of them, but I'll get to those aspects later.
For now,
I shall quaff my grog and raise a toast to the best darn game ever !

Actually hyenas are related to cats, although they are not cats. They are feliforms, which obviously includes cats, but also hyenas, civets and mongooses.
Anyway, I'm almost done with my soundsets. So far I've completed: elephant, hyena, gorilla, camel, rhinoceros.
I might try doing soundsets for a hippo and monkey as well.
I'm also going to throw in some ambient sounds suitable for a jungle. Although they consist of sounds from non-African jungles, they are sounds that are often used in movies, TV shows, cartoons and video games as jungle sound effects.
Sorry I decided to not send the tile I showed in first pages because this month the African theme totally ruined the tile modifications, please add the second theme back to poll so maybe it will be chosen again sometimes and please do not make two themes at once again. That tile was supposed to be for my open sea tileset so maybe I finish it sometimes.
I am still working on a tse-tse fly using fairy model as a base. Might finish it today, but don't expect miracles from me... it will be substantially lame ![]()
got one problem, how to make the fairy wings black?

problem is:
blend Lighten
Lighten only adds to the underlying colors in the scene. So if you use black, it adds 0 to the values. So if you want something that darkens, you use a dark texture, and use the blend Normal option. You may then need to alter your alpha layer on the texture and/or the alphaStart/End values to compensate for the difference in drawing.
thanks MD that worked
I think I give up.
After 4 hours I am getting nowhere, it still way too off from what I wanted to achieve. Im sure that one of your skilled moddeler would be able to do this in few minutes, but I am constantly stumbling over many issues.
I am not able to center wings to the torso.
The model is highlighted on the wrong place.

If I keep the standard fairy torso and remove the texture then it looks like flying miniboobs :/
...flying boobs might be ok...
Especially if they are flying around.....

<I still haven't figured out the #*!@**# picture posting>
However, for those interested above is an update.
When I type here, I see this:

...flying boobs might be ok...

Files are online. My apologies for the tardiness, I blame busy life and NWN burnout (which I'm ~75% recovered from) after pushing hard to get the CEP update out there.
