The new grass texture, courtesy of my wife. It finally actually looks good.
New scale texture, replacing the literally two year old thing that I made in a hurry before I even started using Photoshop, let along Krita.
The two new icons amidst the old ones. The rest will be replaced eventually as well. I'm looking forward to the consistency that her work will bring to the UI.
A couple other textures, courtesy of my wife.
The Gilded Ostaar
The legendary Gilded Ostaar is spoken of in Vulpine mythology. It is said that Li'Kuntuu breathed life into the first Ostaar millennia ago in the form of this golden flower.
The common ostaar is deeply entangled with the Vulpine race; it's quick spreading and its propensity to prosper where others do not. A common prophetic ritual among Vulpine involves a bonfire and ostaar seeds. They toss the seeds into the pit which they have prepared for the fire, set the bonfire ablaze with specially prepared oils - which cause the flame to burn hotter and faster, and then dance the night away. Once the procession begins to awake, a shaman will read the ashes and the ostaar; some of which may have already grown overnight after the fire had died down. The number and configuration of the ostaar both play a part in the reading. A healthy field of ostaar is a good sign, but horrible things await in the near future if the field is bare.
Until next time,
