The imp of Hellfire floats ready for mayhem, trident in hand prepared for the roasting of marshmallows

Spoiler: Trident Imp - Hellfire

 

[ShadowHawkDragon]

In comes the chomping dinosaurs, their mouth ready for feeding. They will eat anything they can get those huge jaws around, especially cake.

Spoiler: Dino Chompers

 

[ShadowHawkDragon]

Chomp-chomp goes the dino, chomping happily he turns to look at his next meal...
Nothing like keeping a highly dangerous albeit oddly cute creature as a pet, just be careful you don't lose an arm

Spoiler: Dino Chomper - Chibi-Rex

Spoiler: Dino Chomper - Junglesaurus

Spoiler: Dino Chomper - Raptor

These are awesome! I've been trying to convince my son to try RMMV, maybe being able to have a team of dinosaurs would do the trick! Super cool : D

 

[Katlynne Baron]

could you please do more cats

 

[ShadowHawkDragon]

Meet the skull drake and his skeletal cousin, while they may be small they are not to be underestimated.

 

[ShadowHawkDragon]

Small but deadly, the Skull Drake is now ready for action. With large protective skull he will see no harm; assuming he does not accidentally throw it away during a temper tantrum.

Spoiler: Skull Drake - Whelp (no skull)

[ShadowHawkDragon]

Make way for these two cool wolves, but one is 'cooler' than the other.

 

[ShadowHawkDragon]

The fearsome wolf has come to town and he's very hungry.

I just sent you an e-mail at shadowhawkdragon@gmail.com.

Love the new wolf! It's very beautiful.

 

[ShadowHawkDragon]

The mouse and rodent rebellion has begun, lead by their hero the Mousketeer.

 

[Rabosion]

Beautiful new Battlers, @ShadowHawkDragon ! I'm getting some fairy tale vibes from the wolf (~ Red Riding Hood) and your rats, especially the Mouseketeer. I also love the dinosaurs, they're so cute yet dangerous.

 

[ShadowHawkDragon]

@Rabosion It's funny how things work out, I never even thought about basing them on fairy tales

 

[ShadowHawkDragon]

I'm back from my week away and I come bearing mice. Mice, hedgehogs and even rabbits. Just look at how cute they all are. But don't look too close, they are all hardened battle experts who value their personal space; that and munching on their favourite snack mid-battle.

The mouseketeer reminds me of Ripacheap in chronicles of narnia.

 

[ShadowHawkDragon]

@just1witness I forgot all about him, happy coincidences and all


So I just hopped over to Yanfly's website expecting the standard weekly mini-plugin and... This is what I met.

As shown this video by Yanfly, this new plugin allows for more flexible and fluid animations than what can be provided via 'spritesheets'.

I myself actually already use bone rigging to create my battlers (using Spriter) and so I do not believe this would be too much more from what I already do. That is assuming I don't start getting all cleaver with the animations

I want to hear what everyone else thinks of this. Do you like the potential this new method provides or do you prefer the tried and tested (and more compatible) method?

 

[Alexander Hawksmoor]

The dragonbones thing made me smile and cry at the same time,since it looks so beautiful, but I don't have the capability to pull it off myself. That been said, if you were going to do it I'd go on *******, I would happily contribute to you making these fantastic battlers.

 

[Rabosion]

Well this is a hard choice... Your battlers are already great to use right now, but I wouldn't mind having a 'dragonbones version' to complement it at all. That's what you get for making fun battlers

So personally I vote for 'try both'.

 

[ShadowHawkDragon]

The Phantom Thief, master of masks, has arrived. All wicked criminals out there shall quiver in fear of their prized treasures being whisked away alongside their twisted hearts.

This devilish guy will be my first venture into the DragonBones Integrated animations. Now to hop all works according to plan.

 

[Joe Musashi]

Fantastic work!
Would be great if you can release original spritesheet and dragonbones versions of your new battlers, but if I had to choose one it would be spritesheets.
