Description
A more consistent set of designs for all the different classes. The two at the top left are undifferentiated ones, either from before the classes became a thing or possibly as units to help set up a new colony before the more specialized units become viable.The colors aren't particularly indicative, they're just there for easy differentiation.

This would be awesome to play if this ever became a game! Don't care if it was tabletop, PC or Console, I'd buy it and play!

Aw thank you!
I often think of the tarspawn in the framework of a real-time strategy game.

Yeah, I could see that happening. Β You could also do itΒ in a RPG orΒ Warhammmer tabletop style if you're really careful.Β

That could be pretty fun too. :3

It would require world building, specialized weapons/skills/tools & a very good lore.

Yeah, and understanding of game mechanics and such. Hum hum!

I would be either a warrior, spellslinger or an elf.

The elf class is OP, needs to be nerfed.

Because they can transform into any creature?..yeah, I agree. If elves were playable then they have to limits for each level.

I guess picking a particular 'tree' of animals for the elf to practice -> learning more abilities as that critter. I do wonder if that'd work.
(the spellslinger tem confused me so I thought you were joking around and just including 'elf' as a silly third option, haha.)
I'm not sure if the elves are complete/appropriate for a rpg/mmo style player character, since they wouldn't get much benefit from equipment or anything like that. hmhm

Sorry, I meant spellcaster. I've been playing a little too much Wildstar and combined Gunslinger with Spellcaster. As for the elves/dwarves, I can definitely see your point...unless you make it that accessories and nature influenced items increase their stats, armor, etc.

Hehe. :3c
Yeah, that could work. I guess some kind of weird enchantment things that the elves make specifically for themselves. Would need some mechanics to explain why you might find them randomly out in the wilds/on critters/in dungeons. I guess the same as any other item. Hmhm.
Dwarves probably wouldn't be very useful as playable characters. Unless you like playing prop hunt. in which case it'd be very entertaining.
Imagining WoW with a character that can turn into furniture or other environmental props is highly entertaining tho. Chairs-only dungeon run.

Would be very entertaining although dwarves could make good rogues when they sneak in and disguise themselves like chairs and such. As for enchantments, they could simply take aspect from the "soul" of the animal and embed it into accessories.

Pff yes. I guess a silly racial ability that works like the night elf ability to go into stealth while standing still -> the dorf equivalent would be poofing into a local environment object. I guess also making it so there's lots of stealth penalties from moving, and a high bonus when sitting still. mysteries.
The shapeshifting for the elves I always imagined to be like.. them connecting with an alternate reality version of themselves where they're that creature. But that might be too weird of an explanation. will need to think about it in the future.

insect mammal hybrids... better that i expected
π: 0 β©: 1
They sure have evolved, haven't they... There's still a fair bit of dinosaur/dragon influence there, but yeah now looking at it they really are p much insect+mammals.
Glad that they exceeded expectations.
π: 0 β©: 1
usually insect/mammal hybrids are all horrible, sticky and look like existing alone is a pain
so these look fantastic

I just love how big, soft, and pudgy they look ^^

Ready to fluff at people with grumpiness. >;U!!
Though I do generally imagine the tarspawn to be fairly good-natured <
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't care how grumpy they are, I would hug them! They juat gotta deal with it XD
Indeed, well, the smaller ones at least lolΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
Pff
The big pink one and the green one are the grumpiest, so they should probably be lower in the hug priority list. ;U
π: 0 β©: 1
Pfft, that just means that they will be even better to hug and Β there will be more feels to melt XDΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
XDDDΒ
I wonder what they would do?
π: 0 β©: 1
I think the pink one would bite. The green one would grumble and apply liberal amounts of snark.
π: 0 β©: 1
Bite? The big one looks like he's so huge he would devour me lol. But he wouldn't cause I would melt his feels XDΒ
And for the green one, I would apply liberal amounts of hugs, Β rubs, and feels XDDDΒ

Their grumpiness wouldn't stand a chance eue

Gad I don't know which one i like more, the queen or the purple worker. I digress though, these are all amazing!

Thank you! I had a lot of fun doing these, fairly happy with how unified their design is now.
