Spooky Dip 2022!

Did somebody say MOAR BATS?



Here's the prize I submitted for this year's Spooky Dip at GoS! Kestrelteens' cute bat planters in 24 colors. I gave them a new texture (including the soil inside, even if you don't really see it) and reduced the size from 1024x1024 to 512x512, because the originals were a solid color and adding a detailed texture made the file size unnecessarily huge. I didn't notice any difference in the texture quality in-game. There are 2 types, standing and hanging, with 2 sizes each, and the smaller ones are repo'd to the larger ones.



Here are the colors:

Hanging Planter v1: 6058
Hanging Planter v2: 5890

MrsM'Quve Hair Palette 2022

 

These are the colors I will be using for all my hair retextures and recolors starting today! I wanted to expand my unnaturals since my game has gone in an obnoxiously colorful direction, and there were several naturals I was willing to drop to make room for them.

-12 naturals - all of Io’s and Lilith’s colors, Pooklet’s Depth Charge & Molotov, Digi’s Lucifer & Verin, and Furbyq’s Sunspot.

-21 unnaturals - all 14 of the colors I previously used (Bastet is still with unnaturals), plus some new additions from Pooklet’s old and new colors: Firework, Torpedo, Haunting, Pyrodex, Toluene, Cesium, and Xylene.

-Naturals will be binned but NOT familied and enabled for elders as usual. Unnaturals will not be binned (I do it for my own game but not everyone likes to).

Please note that I will only be doing the colors I personally use in my own game. Unfortunately I will not be using grays, as I only play adults and I’m happy with my elder townies spawning with colors. This might be a disappointment to a lot of you as I’m not sure the naturals I kept are commonly used (I rarely see Lilith’s colors, but I love them so much!) and not all of you like unnaturals. A Volatile base will be included in all hair downloads, and recolors are encouraged!

This change has made me motivated and excited to do hair again, which I really hadn’t been in 2 or 3 years. I just dreaded doing so many colors - I know there are still a lot, but it does take less time - and my hair catalog needed a revamp. I’ve grown bored of a lot of the meshes I have and will be clearing them out to make room for new ones. I will be going back and adding the new unnaturals to previous hairs I do decide to keep, but I’m not going to make official upload posts for them. However, if there’s a hair I’ve done you’d like in the new colors and it happens to be one I’m keeping, just ask and I’ll gladly share them!
