Wind's Presets (Closed for a short break)

[Windstrider]

Hi all, I'm back! I'm getting back into it, since I haven't done these since last summer, but I'm not too rusty anymore. I'm learning a bit of codes so that I can do things like scrolling, translucent, metallic, etc. I'm a beginner as far as preset-related coding goes but I'm generally a fast learner and I've figured out scrolling codes just fine. I haven't tried the other ones yet but they'll probably work just fine, too.

I might not necessarily be able to do ones with certain textures or more complicated/advanced scripts yet, but I'll get there. I might eventually add simple fur textures and nose shine to some of these. The manes will take a bit of time for me to make if y'all want manes that aren't a solid color since I'm still figuring out how to do that.

Honestly I like these the way they are without the fur shader, and other people do too, so I'll be doing all (or most, but so far, all) of these without fur shaders or anything like that. The feathered wings kinda needed the shader, tho, bc otherwise they didn't look so good... If I'm not allowed to use it for a preset tho (or is that just contest ones? idk) just tell me and I'll take it off the wings, or make my own, simpler, one.

Anyway here's the examples:

Rain (canine)

Download: Will add a new one after I fix him. I noticed a small spot where I didn't fully color his fur in, and it looks weird. It'll be an easy fix, tho.

Ember (winged canine)

Siku (winged canine)
His name means 'ice'. He's literally an inverted version of Ember but he looks amazing and he's still my favorite preset.

Rainbow Scrolling Canine #1 (WIP; almost done)
Basically Rain but with rainbow scrolling markings. Undecided on his hair color, and it's glitching (showing up textureless for no apparent reason) anyway so I can't even choose yet. But I'll either leave it white, make it grey like Rain's hair, or make it rainbow like the second rainbow canine's is.

Rainbow Scrolling Canine #2 (winged - WIP; almost done)
Basically Ember but with rainbow scrolling markings, rainbow hair, and rainbow wings. All I gotta do is fix his back legs and he'll be good to go.

Possible ideas

- Green, grey, black, and white color scheme
- Feline versions of Ember and Siku
- Brown wolf with glowy amber markings
- White wolf with aurora markings, probably with scrolling and maybe with translucency, too
- Gold-tan lion with royal purple markings, maybe gradient going into pink
- Sunset color schemes
- Seawing-inspired creature with glowing markings
- Icewing-inspired creature with mane that looks like ice spikes
- Semi-translucent, scrolling, water creature, possibly winged
- Semi-translucent ice creature, possibly winged (possibly with very slowly scrolling ice bubble markings, or something, and he'll hopefully have a shiny glassy texture if I can figure out how to code it...maybe a similar technique to the one used to code a metallic texture, with a translucent code layered over it, and a scrolling code sandwiched between the two? I'll have to see how it turns out and make it up as I go; I'm fairly new to coding but I can learn more as I go)
- Earth element creature, with a mixture of rocky greys and browns, glowing markings...like cracks in the rock?, a crystal mane and tufts, and glowing and/or crystal eyes. I'll probably make this in all kinds of colors, and I'll make all of these public for people to use
- Sky-themed creatures...for various times of day and night; they'll include things like translucence, glowing stars, slowly scrolling clouds, very slowly scrolling moon phases, etc
- Creatures inspired by deep-sea creatures; the variety and glowing markings will make for some really cool stuff
- Creatures inspired by different types of birds
- Biome/region/climate themed creatures; desert, coast, boreal forest, mountain, etc. For example, the desert one could have a cactus or tumbleweed mane, the coast one could have scrolling wave markings on a sandy background with little shells and stuff on it, the boreal forest one could look like a hybrid of creatures that live in a boreal forest and it may or may not have a snowy pine-needle mane, and the mountain one will be a bit like a combination of a mountain lion and an eagle with pale blue eyes like the sky you see when you're high up on a mountain peak
- Creatures inspired by different types of plants (trees, cacti, succulents, flowers, you name it)
- Creatures inspired by different types of minerals
- Creatures inspired by different kinds of clouds or weather...as weird as this one sounds, it could be fun, and it's definitely something unique (cumulus one could be white and fluffy looking, stratus one might have scrolling rain markings or lightning wings, cirrus one could be all wispy and translucent in most places)
- Constellation-inspired creatures, or star- or space-themed creatures in general
- Solar and lunar creatures
- Metal creatures
- Gemstone creatures
- Bat (canine model with bat wings) and bat-like creatures

Creatures means it could be anything...canine, feline, something else, whatever. I'll try to make both a canine and feline version of every one of these ideas, and I'll make most, or all, of them public for anyone to use. Please feel free to vote/suggest which ones yall would like to see first! I'd love to get working on them. And if you guys have other idea, feel free to suggest them! I'll try my best to make whatever people want to see. :3

The only time I won't be able to work on these is when I go on vacation but that's not until the end of July and the beginning of August. Otherwise I'll hopefully be able to work on plenty of these during most of the summer.

*~ Edit: Kinda taking a break for now, but I might open this again later. ~*

Lovely characters!
I love the fire looking markings!
And the blue goes great with the grey. Almost like it's glowing. owo

[Windstrider]

Thanks ^^ Any particular themes or color combos you want to see?

[D-ead7Dog]

Thanks ^^ Any particular themes or color combos you want to see?

Oh man I would love to see Black [a very dark grey so it doesn't cancel out the textures], grey [lighter] and a white and orange [markings] would be pretty!

[Astraea]

I adore all of your presets!
They are all so simple but the colors and textures really prove impressive and creative. Nice work!

@D-ead7Dog Canine or feline (gonna assume canine but wanted to make sure)? And any particular marking type you want?

@Accailia Thanks ^^

Canine. And I don't care have fun with it!

[Windstrider]

Ooh, I just had a thought. I could make it slightly monarch butterfly-ish, especially the wings' markings! The palette is perfect for that o.o

[G4RG0YLE]

Noticed the update on this- lovin' it lovin' it lovin' it! Keep up the amazing work. <3

[Windstrider]

@ Shurtle Thanks :3

@ D-ead7Dog Here it is! I made wing and mane textures if you want those for your preset, especially since it's heavily butterfly-based. I tried to make the butterfly wing texture work with the bird wings, let me know if you want anything added/changed/etc.

Edit: Since this is my first time making a preset for someone, do I change the Windstrider_7.fhp to something else before I upload it? Also I give you the fhp file right? Like will that allow you to pick this as a preset?
