Feral Heart

   Hey all! So I totally couldn't help myself, I just had to let my favorite forum family know some awesome news I found out September 7th, at 11:30 am.

   As some of you might know from my introduction I made about a month or two ago, I'm expecting my first child. That's exciting in itself to be honest. I finally was able to have my very first Ultrasound appointment yesterday, and we got to see our baby for the first time. The technician asked us if we would like to know the baby's gender, if she could tell. Naturally we said yes.. and let me tell you, the SUSPENSE was real!

   It took her a good 15 minutes or so before she could give us a definite answer. She jiggled my belly here and there, had me turn over from one side to the next; the little booger was being super stubborn about uncrossing those ankles. We had accepted that she probably wouldn't be able to tell cause the baby's ankles and umbilical cord were in the way. THEN, at long last, the baby turned over, and stretched it's feet out... to reveal that we are having a BOY!

   Let me tell you, this is one proud mama right here.

   We've been hoping for a boy since we first found out about the pregnancy in June, and our wish came true. <3 The importance of having a boy to carry on my husband's family name is very dire, since he is the last male in his family with the Maddox name. Too excited to contain myself, and if I could, I would just sit there and watch my baby on the ultrasound machine all day long. It's too cool seeing your little mini me wiggling around in there.

But I just wanted to let everyone know, and I'm going keep everyone updated as we go along. I've included some sweet ultrasound pictures from yesterday, and you're welcome to look if you'd like to. If I had the soundbyte from my son's heartbeat yesterday, I'd definitely post that, however, I'm still waiting on them to send me the clip on my doctor's website.

   Also, ladies, let me tell you... there is nothing better to watch than the look on your partner's face. Jordan oohed and ahhed over watching his baby move. I've never seen him cheesing so much! And oh the protectiveness he's acquired over the past 4 months.. Ha! It's an amazing thing, the kind of bond you feel with your child and there's nothing like it I assure you. We'll be expecting baby Elijah Matthew Maddox around February 21, 2017; he might even make it to be our Valentine baby, if the timing is right.

Thank y'all for taking the time to read my little life adventures of becoming a mommy! It means a lot! <3

                                                                                                                                    ~ Love, Kana'ti/Kacy






PS: Trying to get a good picture, without glare, is super hard with these little ultrasound pics they gave me. My goodness. ._.

Hey all, so after a long few years of being totally computer-less, as I spoke of in my re-introduction post about a week ago, I'm now officially back into my map making game! It's a very heavy addiction for me and although I'm still a novice at it, I enjoy my work that I do. Another plus to the maps I create: They're low-end computer friendly! My computer is not in tip top shape honestly, so if my computer lags on the map, I know there are others out there that would suffer the same if they were in my situation graphic card-wise. I like to keep it simple when it comes to map making and keep the lag at a minimum so no worries there about struggling to play on this map.

A real quick and super important note: All of these meshes that I have within my map, other than my little rocktex7.jpg file that I've included to make your mountains the same color as mine if you wish, are meshes I have searched for endlessly on DeviantArt as well as here on the Feral Heart Forums! None of these meshes within my map are mine and I, in no way whatsoever, stake any claim to them. If anything, I would like to thank everyone else for their marvelous hardwork in converting and creating the meshes they uploaded; if it weren't for them, my cute little map wouldn't have been possible! Thank you!!

Now without further ado: Here are some quick screenies of my map I created for the awesome Leopard group I am in, though the map is open to any who would like to use it as well!

Need a little sun in your fur? Relax your little feline self(or canine self) on these rocks and it'll surely hit the spot.


Feeling hungry? Grab a bite to eat at "The Elk Stops Here" drive thru!


Awww! Duckies, how cute!


Need a little casual entertainment? Grab your popcorn and watch these bucks go at it.


If you're aching for a chilly swim, there's plenty of salmon under that waterfall to snack on. I hear they're pretty large in size as well.


There's two total den spots on this map. Here is the pretty awesome one in my personal opinion.


This is the second den spot, I loveeeee the ribs. Then again, who doesn't?


Last but not least, we have a quaint little abandoned farm as well as an old house nearby. Or is it really abandoned?



If you're totally interested in downloading this map, which I would loveeeeee it if you were, the download link for it is here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/ck8pms6w6oxevlf/Leopard_Valley.zip

Also, if you'd like to add a little spice to your mountain colors and actually have it match the stony terrain seen in the images above, the download for that texture is here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/rq0lba1h4q7hp4n/rockTex7.jpg

A little side note for the Rock Texture: Personally I just replaced the current rocktex7.jpg file in my FeralHeart folder, it was just easier and I enjoy the color of the rocks better anyways. But you're welcome to fix it up however you like!

Another little extra note: You're welcome to send me a whisper on my character Cathasaigh, seen in the screenshots above, and give me a little feedback through her or if you have any questions you can also ask me through her as well. I'm on her pretty frequently so you'll most likely always get an answer from me. Also, if I'm not online at the time, you can ALWAYS PM me here on the Forum website, I check my mail everyday so you can expect a reply within a day at the most. I appreciate all comments, questions, as well as suggestions, so post away! Thank you for your time and hope you enjoy!

                                                                                                               Much love from, Kana'ti, Cathasaigh, and Myself <3

   So I can't say I'm new here, but I will gladly say that I'm back after about a year and a half of being away. Got my own laptop now, so if anything happens, well I can just fix it myself instead of letting my parents say I can't be on here anymore. c: Anywho, I'm glad of the changes that have been made, they're completely awesome. And this time around, I'm hard at work on getting better at making maps for you guys. Plus, its bajillions of fun! ^-^

   I'm very bubbly and friendly so just feel free to talk to me anytime you want. I LURVE talking *-*.

   Also, my characters that I'm frequently on are Rivena, Raylen, and Kazli. So if you ever see them running around, it may be me xD I'll happily say hello if you say it first c;

   I used to RP like dumploads years ago, I don't do it much now, but I will here and there when I feel up for it. I mostly enjoy watching it now, occasionally throwing in a line to help keep it going lol.

   But ya know how it is, I will definitely enjoy the new faces and old faces I meet! <3

So this is my very first map I've uploaded and really finished. It's nowhere near as beautiful as some of the other user's maps are, but I will try to work on more maps and get better at using the map maker.

Originally I had not planned on making a "Lion King" themed map. I just kinda found my brain wandering into the childhood section of itself since I had grown up with the amazing Disney movie. haha :3 I'm VERY proud of my Pride Rock by the way. It turned out to be the best thing on the map lol. This is available for download, or should be. Guess we'll find out. If you do not have WinRAR, I would suggest getting it to unzip the files. It's free no worries.

This map includes The Pridelands and a small piece of the Outlands. This map can hold two prides, a few rogues, hyenas, etc. It may be semi small, but with how it is created, it can have a small pride in the Outlands and a pride in the Pridelands.
(Will make a bigger map next time now that I know how to do it).

The map includes: Pride Rock with den, a cave in the small mountains near Pride Rock, a sunning rock, dens in the Outlands, and of course the giant Rafiki Tree where you enter and leave. haha (: The river is stopped up by rocks, therefore leaving the Outlands dry.

RULES
1. Respect one another.
2. No foul language.
3. No god-moding during RP.
4. Have fun, and don't take anything too serious, it does happen to just be a game after all.
5. Follow the usual FH rules please.
                                     ~Thanks, Dawnie

Enjoy!
