Bear
Moderator: Gamemasters
Just an observation from a non artist.
It really doesn't matter if your bear looks exactly like a real bear, and if I saw it in illarion I would go grab a kitchen knife and stab it through my monitor thinking some witch somewhere shrunk down bears and put them in my monitor somehow...
Um.. what was I saying? Oh, yeah.
It doesn't matter if your graphics are better, worst, bigger, smaller, the fact is, they must fit with the rest of the graphics. There are many styles of art, realistic, comic, animitronic, etc.. that look different. In their own they are fine. Put two types together and they just don't look right.
So, what you need to do, is grab the pictures of all the existing monsters in Illarion, and before you say, How about this one, put your monster next to the others and see if it fits in, or is it the black sheep?

What Serpardum says is perfectly true.
However, there is a little problem with that:
We work on new monster graphics. These are kept secret
. The existing graphics mostly don't look very good at all, so if you compare yours to these, you won't learn much from it.
There will be changes in size, animation, style etc., so the probability that you're wasting time is rather high. Sorry.
