Phew... took a while to say the least. ...aaaand I've just seen some marks on the neck that should be red petals, not outlines on green leaves. Will fix that.

The inside of the mouth is inspired by a venus flytrap. The banana fingers/horns are a little awkward, I feel, and am honestly considering changing them to just green (or for the fingers at least, as they look too chunky for bananas, also because bananas are more of an Ape thing, but I thought it could be a fun idea). The brown bottom of the body (legs and tail) is like a plant's roots, and (sort of) like Plant itself. I'm aware people may not like how this looks, but it took a while to work out colours and lining stuff up. I feel it adds a bit more colour variety.

"Why did you use a Dragon/Tiger as a base?" because majority of other Dragon breeds would have needed to go through the alphabet more than once. I originally thought about using pure Dragon as a base went through the alphabet nearly twice to work out what went where, and "nope'd" out of that, remembering how much of a nightmare Kato/Golem was (I have no idea how many times Kato/Kato went through the alphabet for each texture square, doing the alphabet to mark each square only occurred to me maybe around my 13th monster, but I feel it'd be around twice through the alphabet at least). I didn't want to deal with something that complicated, especially after my cat was put down. It took a while for my brain to ... want to brain again properly.

NOW ACCEPTING FEEDBACK, (hence whole entire post rather than a picture update in the comments on my last post) BUT FAIR WARNING.

WILL DEFINITELY CONSIDER CHANGING:

-Banana fingers/horns. I know they look a bit awkward, but thought bananas could be a different idea. Getting them to line up so they look right will be annoying (I nearly gave up on the banana horns until I realised how the textures were added to the model), but can try.

-Eyes. Wasn't quite sure what to do for them. Plant doesn't have eyes, but /Plants tend to.

-Anything NOT listed below.

MIGHT CONSIDER

-Legs/Tail. I can understand people not being a fan of the brown-y "plant root" idea. While green like the rest of it COULD work, I kinda like how the brown breaks it up so it's not just traffic light colours. Maybe just the tail, but I could see that getting a bit "lost" with the rest of the design if I did, depending on colours. I know the leaves on the back that point to the tail look super pixel-y/square-y compared to the majiggy, it's just where textures connect/cut off, and the "base of the tail" texture, which'd connect to that final leaf on the back gets stretched horribly, it's the best I could do.)

-Arms. Main reason why is picture 4 in this post. One pixel can stretch a looooong way on the arm textures. While I would like to add more details, maybe change some SMALL bits, I don't want to risk messing it up. May blend/blur the dark-to-light-green, so it's not such a sharp contrast, but will have to experiment before changing much more. i can't guarentee major improvements.

I think I've covered everything? Head feels a bit fuzzy now. Not looking to potential feedback, honestly, especially as my brain can tend to read it as "angry"/"you've done something wrong" by default, and it can be very off-putting when that happens, but there could be something I've "missed".

EDIT: god i hate how my tv shows colours different to steam deck, what looks like a bold colour difference looks like not a lot here.aybe i have more to sort than i thought...

My Monster just requested to fight in a Tourney, but there isn't one for it to fight in. What do?

What the title says my Monster just requested to fight in one, Next Week, but I remember that there isn't one next week when I checked the schedule.

What to do?

Hopper/Worm Drawing

Hi everybody!

I drew another picture. This time, it's a nonexistant mix of a Hopper and a Worm. I tried to make it look like it is leaping out of hole because both Hoppers and Worms like to dig lol.

I hope that you all enjoy either way!

Replaying MR1/2 DX currently since Fire Red/Leaf Green dropped, idk something about it revitalized this genre for me. Anyway, I raised some decently strong Expedition monsters from MR1 and slated them to MR2, but noticed they have shorter lifespans than usual? My first one gave me the Prime warning at only 1y7m (granted, I had to enter a few battles because I was fighting poverty), but my second slated monster got the warning at 2y1m, having done only 1 battle and 1 errantry. It never got tired and stressed either. I know I've gotten that warning way past 3y+ on some breeds.

My query is, do slated monsters live shorter lives? Didn't see anything on Legendcup, unless I missed it. TYIA

Hey there.

I live in Switzerland and a few months ago I stumbled upon this game in a thrift store.

Could somebody help me identify its value and hopefully sell it to somebody who appreciates it?

It would be a waste if I kept it to collect dust in the drawer.

Thanx

Hi everybody!

I drew another picture. This time, it's a Cetini (Mocchi/Zilla mix) and a Gemstone Kato (Kato/Golem mix from the More Monsters Mod) sharing a high five.

I just wanted to draw something positive and happy. :)

I do also apologize if the markings on the Gemstone Kato are off. I am not very good at drawing cracks in rocks lol.

Anyway, I hope that you all enjoy!
