The current avatar is a modified Rexouium avatar version v264.

Textures
Information
While this information is provided, I would ask you to please not use the design as-is. You can take inspiration as much as you want, but this includes making it your own by not taking it as-is. Thank you.
Textures are made using Adobe Substance Painter 2024 and took four years total to reach its final form through about 3 major iterations. The design philosophy goes as follows:
- Colours:
- Main body colour of
#715697. - Arm and legs gradient to
#554070. - Base black of
#1F1F1F. - Nose tip of
#3D3D3D. - Mouth interior of
#BA5C5C. - Nipples tip of
#AB68C3. - Nipples base of
#784989. - Shadowing of
#151718. - Shadowing of
#000000.
- Main body colour of
- Substance fur shader used.
- This makes editing the texture only possible on my main workstation due to the VRAM requirements.
- Diamonds pattern.
- The goal is to have an inorganic pattern to show the creature might not be what it seems and more artificial.
- Paw pads and snout are textured with a leather-like normal map.
- Other patterns:
- Maned wolf-like gradient on tip of legs, snout, arms and tail. When exporting textures for on-platform use, the following settings are used:
- Unity HD Render Pipeline (Metallic Standard).
- Resolution of
2048x2048. - PNG format.
Accessories
The avatar ships with several accessories:
- Glasses (custom design).
- Collar (design by ShepShep).
