[Route 101] Mighty Mongrels! (Patreon)

Poochyena and Mightyena are here!

I was initially going to release two sets today, these two and the Zigzagoon/Linoone family, but these two took a considerable amount of time to finish - I've put a lot of care into these two, not just because they are some of my favorite, but because with the new season upon us, I want each release to be even higher quality than before - we'll talk about that more later!

Poochyena is actually using an older version than is available - here's her newer one, for the curious:

While still cute, I just prefer the original.

Anyways, Poochyena has a load of customization, moreso than Mightyena, actually. For starters, I've been messing with the "fur" rendering in the MatEditor, and I really like it's effect. You'll notice it in her first two slots, both her gloves and shoes have the render.

Poochyena's main attraction is her hair, which was made up of several different parts, and is rather unique - carefully crafted to avoid clipping as well, mind you! - it utilizes a few simple tricks that I won't really go into here, but if you observe the pieces in the MatEditor, perhaps you'll get an idea of the finer-tuned details that I'm applying to these and future Moemons.

Next up! Mightyena doesn't utilize the fur as much, but it is applied to her gloves (and boots I believe?) in her second slot, which actually was lots of fun to mess with, as the Succubus gloves are actually modular, and while I won't post pics of everything little thing, be sure to check those out - basically everything of the gloves are hidden except the sharp nails and glove "cloth" itself, which has fur effect turned on.

You know what, just load it up for yourselves - that's half the fun.

Speaking of which, Mightyena's MAIN outfit is also a bit of trickery in design - see below - where it actually uses one of the kimono dresses, but through texture replacement, I've hidden the main outfit and left the "3d" parts - specifically the red waist band and red neck band (which is shown above in the sprite, of course). The inner part of her outfit is also modified through the MatEditor - and I've altered the overlay as well. Her skirt is modified heavily as well..

You know what, there's too much to mention here.

All of them should have unique outfits for each slot, btw. And Mightyena has her own unique hair, although similar to Poochyena's!

I think the bottom line with these two was a concerted effort to match the sprite as closely as possible - minor details may be seen where I went out of my way to copy the sprite as best as possible. Both of them have a tremendous amount of attention poured into even the slightest details, and I hope this sets the standard going forward with the rest of Hoenn!

Oh, by the way, they have new card fronts - Lemme know if you like them!

Anyways, here are the cards -

Hey! Sorry for the quiet weekend - I've been busy working diligently on the upcoming releases. I was actually meaning to post an Update later, but turns out Patreon will be down for maintenance in a few hours, so I'll have it up for tomorrow morning instead!

See you then!
