Art...sort of

Ah, I thought that might have been Evirea but at the same time I was thinking she might not wear an outfit like that. The things you learn.

Nice fenki outfit though. As elvi has proven fenkis can sometimes use a little more covering up. But kieve was having fun when he redid the enki textures.

Well, you don't see the rings in the screenshot. And the ... hmmm ... "gipsy" or "latina" outfit? Not sure, don't ask me about mode. But certainly not the most honest and virtuous.

KITTIE LOVE! 

I kept thinking of the Big Bang Theory's Sheldon song when I was drawing it.

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur...

I may or may not mostly be perpetuating the "klyros have no breasts!  " Thing more than anything...<.<

Personally I've always liked the outfit on the clamod model better, I was mostly just pointing out the irony. xD

I have it on good authority belly dancers everywhere are highly insulted.

I'm contacting Kieve to see if he has any retextured outfit for fenkis, maybe even for menkis. Who knows. Just hang on in there, he's got beauties such as this:

I recall him having something around there, don't know. That's why I'm asking him.

I remember a statement like: "Talad has them. Ask him to implement them." -- Was it in his deviantArt thread?

[Mariana Xiechai]

If this Kieve fellow already has a lot of pre-made skins for fenkis and menkis...

Why can't we just use them and implement them as, say, mage's robes?

Mage's robes, now in bellydancer cut. FEEL THE MAGIC FLOW THROUGH YOU. (especially your hips.)

Also useful in distracting opponents. Hypnotism to the rhythm.

And I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection

Hey girl, I can see your body moving!

I do remember such a thing in a certain freenode channel. Talad had many, many, many things from Kieve, that for some reason aren't implemented. Incompetence? Lack of interest? Maybe he lost them? It could be anything. He could be waiting on every race to be "physically" fleshed out (as in, models done).

Tell Kieve i say Hai!

Also, I really like that colored fenki Mariana!

...But kieve was having fun when he redid the enki textures.

I may have gone slightly overboard on the Akkaio's attire (or lack thereof). I regret nothing.

I remember a statement like: "Talad has them. Ask him to implement them." -- Was it in his deviantArt thread?

I've said it numerous times over the years. There are any number of reasons why he hasn't seen fit to use them.
-Waiting for a matched set of Menkis to go with (not gonna happen)
-Didn't like the fuss caused when Clamods were switched over (some people were less pleased at having their characters suddenly change graphical appearance)
-Too attached to the current appearance // doesn't feel like tweaking the files to allow leg-spike transparency (which is really the thing I was proudest of when redoing the textures - seriously, what is their purpose?)
-"Quitting" means I'm not technically part of the team and not bound by the art license. Frankly, I don't give a damn, I made them specifically for PS and I'm not about to demand them back, but PS has a long history and I wouldn't someone tried to burn him that way in years past, so I won't fault him for being cautious, if that's the reason.
-Spite, possibly? There was some... internal friction. No details shall be provided.
-Possibly just lost files, although I've offered them up several times so that's not really an excuse.

Bottom line, you'd have to ask the big man directly. And if you wanted anything to change on the subject, there'd have to be a community consensus, not just a few people poking him about it.

Misconception. I started revising fenki skins as a hobby project, but it'd be incorrect to say I have a lot. One outfit/skin for each - and the nice thing about photoshop layers (and working from the same UVW map) is it's a snap to mix and match. Base skin (/fur) + clothing layers (+optional recolor), I could have Rabani wearing Clamod outfits in about two minutes or less. That's not to say there's a wealth of stuff sitting on my drive, just that it's all easily interchangeable.

And so I stop derailing the thread completely, your artwork isn't too shabby either keep at it!

Tell Kieve i say Hai!

Hai. *waves paw and vanishes*

[Illysia]

Kieve! *waves*

Shame though, no more new skins. But maybe he will still do pictures out of nostalgia and post them one day.

[Suno_Regin]

Kieve! Wow! Miss ya man. Hope you're doing alright!

Talad is the reason this game exists.  Talad is also the reason this game exists in it's current state.  Good or bad, is is a matter of opinion. Pretty much everyone that's ever worked under him for this project knows exactly what I'm talking about here. 

Good to see the community is still doing its thing though.
