This is going dangerously offtopic but if someone wants to upload the stuff I posted in the thread in e621, I uploaded the WebM sources here.

I don't know about anyone else, but I kinda want a preset of that male wolf

If you want to, the new feet mesh I made could be a good upgrade for the shark feet. A new morph can be made such as smoothing down the pads, separating the toes a bit more, and claw scale. Overall just minor shape changes. A fin at the heel can also be optional and a separate mesh like the fins on the head.

I'm pretty happy with the current feet, but I wouldn't mind giving a shot at getting the new ones "shark-ed" up and trying them out as well. Problem is, I wouldn't know how to get them rigged and properly weighted to the digi skeleton so they can be "compressed" into the planti position/shape. Only Bad Dog can take care of that, so there isn't much for me to do until he gets around to working on them. (That's also why I hadn't said anything about them yet, BTW).

Yep, I'm well aware. Nothing can be done until after he sets up the mesh to his digi skeleton. I was thinking later down the road.

It's Halo's "UNP Curvy Modest" which is also included in BodySlide presets. Pretty good for not-so-well-endowed characters.

 

Quite literally the reason why I went with 7B Natural at first.

 

 

UNPBB it is then, don't mind me just dumping some wardrobe tests here since it's holiday and I have nothing better to do.

Yes, that tail is strategically placed on purpose.

 

I really liked the punk clothing, may I ask what is the name of the mod?

Which one? There's multiple mods showcased there.

Dragon Princess but the gauntlets are all kinds of screwed up (makes your hands stumped and fingers all screwed up) and it's UNPB only so I don't think it's very good aside from one one-off shot with as much hands hidden as possible while still looking like I didn't try to do that.

Agh..blegh..sorta figured about the gauntlets. Not a lot of open-fingered gloves/gauntlets take into account that an argonian,khajiit, or selachii with claws will wear them. ><

That's easy to fix since you can just literally copypaste the claws from the hand meshes into any open fingered gauntled meshes with nifskope. There's step-by-step instructions in Better Claws and Gauntlets page, you can skip editing the plugin and just overwrite the meshes instead which is what I do.

 

The problem with the dragon princess one is that the hands are all wrong, the meshes themselves don't even open up properly in nifskope either and I can't be arsed to look how to fix that for one-off screenshot.

I'll follow this thread too, for discussion of new textures! 

[Blaze69]

@Valehyena, on the topic of markings we'd like to have should you feel like working on them, Kuroyami has already linked some (and I'm sure there will be plenty more to come from him if you want/need them).

Still, while I'll have to do some browsing to see what references I can find, I do have some suggestions for the moment:

Spoiler

 

(from Discord, so I don't have sauce, but I'll definitely try to find it) Found it thanks to Sly

Source: melloque

(Note that I'm not posting this one because I want it first or anything, it's just I had the link at hand).

 

From what I've seen, that's actually pretty accurate for real tiger shark markings (blue color aside), and I'd like to have something like that. If done as an overlay, it should be easy to turn it in to a Racemenu-tintable one for the player or manually paint it in the case of NPC textures, so it would allow for further customization (though if I had to pick a fixed color, I'd go for black or at least darker than the normal skin around to look more "natural").

 

Another thing I'd like would be leopard shark markings. Don't have any E6 ref pic saved with them (don't remember if I've even seen any with the proper markings), so a pic of the real thing will have to do until I find them (if any).

Spoiler

 

(Yes, the poor thing has nice markings but a damn fugly face. I'd say it's a very good example of non-sexual butterface, lol).

 

Otherwise, if anyone has any references or ideas for markings or alternate textures they'd like to see, feel free to share them as well.

Literally the same artist as the shrimp ninja. ?

 

As for markings, in addition what has already been mentioned, while it's not natural (but neither are bipedal fishes), I'm particular to simple stripes on the darker parts (see here for example).

Hey, I was sent those separately and mixed with other stuff so I wasn't completely sure they were from the same artist (though I did suspect it). But yeah, I saw it was in there too.

Yes, that would be nice as well. And that one could probably be reused for other races if done as an overlay; not that the tiger shark and leopard shark ones couldn't as well, but I'd say such a simple design would fit practically anything.

 

Also hey, it's Syrena. Or as some may know her, the Mega Milk Shark Tits gal, lol. I was actually going to suggest her markings myself too, but the few pics I had handy (read: within <30 seconds of search in my Discord files, because laziness) focused too much on her, huh, attributes without giving a good view of the markings themselves.

 

(For the record, if we do get those markings, I'm 100% going to replicate the Shark Tits pic unless Sly does it before I can in which case I'll just pass because mine wouldn't be as good, lol)

Probably a pure coincidence but I actually did a simple edit of GRIM Mega Milk a while ago. It's very shitty since it was just first pass to see how the text aligns ingame and then I got distracted by something else before fixing it and kinda forgot about it. Maybe it's time to try again.

Also, the more the merrier so don't let me doing stuff stop you from making your own takes at stuff. ?

And a bonus because I know some of you want to finally see Big Titty Saika without clothes.

Oh, yes. That's good. Saika is a very good fit for that, too.

Actually I think that's much better than the original, love how it turned out.

 

That logo with that font kinda feels like the "after dark" sister show for Shark Week. Hmmm. Well there's a screenshotting idea for you if you ever need a theme.

 

Fun fact: I've been wanting to do a "fake magazine cover" shot of the sharks (and some other YA species, but mostly the sharks) for some time now, and while the idea was to go for a "scientific/educational magazine and totally-not-yiff-I-swear" theme as inspired by this wonderful piece of art by Tom Fischbach (of TwoKinds fame), after seeing that logo I'd say I wouldn't mind doing it instead (or as well) for the cover of Shark Tits™ Magazine. ?

You guys are awesome! thanks for letting me be apart of these things, it's truly refreshing to find a community like this. 

 

I'll start messing around with the sharks!

I'm so excited!

With consideration for the redone text for the Racial Phyogeny book that @Blaze69 posted in the Yiffy Age, thread, here's something for that, for....well...

Spoiler

Less clarity exists on the origins of the Selachii, at least concerning any kind of relations to the races of men and mer. With consideration for their history, it seems there is little to no connection to either, beyond basic body shape, and little difference in the way of bodily functions. Perhaps their may be more or less variety in offspring, though there seems to exist the idea that, while reproduction with the races of Tamriel is possible, the offspring may similarly be a Selachii(as it seems a dominating trait), though possessing fur may be unlikely. Among the race, little variety is known, save for certain members possessing markings from birth, which does not seem to denote them as a subspecies or variant of the Selachii. Additionally, considering earlier established points, their eating habits can be somewhat, feral in nature. While the race seems to, as a whole, have a civilized society on par with that of the majority of Tamriel, it is possible, for example, that a Selachii can consume raw meat or fish, with no detrimental effects. This trait can possibly be seen in other races within the Empire, but this is usually not any of the land's "Civilized" peoples. Alongside this, the Selachii are known to be just at home within the water, as they are on land. While they seem to share this trait with the Argonians, there is truly little comparison to be made.
