Mini-Update! (Patreon)

Hey everyone! Happy Friday!
There's a nice little 1.14gb update to the Sideloader Modpack that I'm currently installing, so I thought I'd pop in to notify you guys to go ahead and download that - as well as mention a few things coming up.
First, while I intended on releasing Winona alongside Swablu/Altaria tomorrow, I actually did some digging on the Discord and found a new Mega Altaria sprite. Check them all out here:
Her backsprite (lower right) is obviously unfinished, but for purposes of a Card Front, I only need the front sprite, which looks mostly done. So, in order to throw in a complete package (because when else would I have a chance to do Mega Altaria?), I decided to instead be releasing this pack on Monday. With them will also be a reworked Taillow/Swellow combo - something I actually worked on about a month ago for personal use, I just need to polish it up a bit more, but it won't take too much time.
Either way, it'll be Winona, Taillow, Swellow, Swablu, Altaria, and Mega Altaria. A pretty big pack!
But as far as the Swablu family goes, they won't be -exactly- like the sprites. Oftentimes sprites have certain "props" or are designed in a specific pose that doesn't necessarily work with accessories. For example, Voltorb and Electrode both have a giant red/white orb that they either sit on or sit behind - obviously attaching an accessory to them like that doesn't look good.
With Altaria/Mega Altaria, the cloud she "sits" on won't be attached to her body, but rather I'll use some creative freedom to maintain the puffy-ness in other areas.
Otherwise you'll just get a big puffy cloud attached to her ass, which won't look good if she's walking around. You'll see what I mean later.
Registeel + Updated Regirock will also be out next week, then we'll have a big update post to go over some major changes, as well as laying out the groundwork for future releases.
Until then, enjoy your weekend!
