[quote name="Snek" date="2020-01-23 14:18:52" ] [quote name="Onceler" date="2020-01-23 14:13:19" ] It would be amazing if somewhere in Fiona's rewards there's a way to get an apparel version of familiars that can sit with/interact with your dragon visually, maybe when you've awakened and also met a few other parameters. This is something that's been a popular suggestion for a while, and now this seems like the perfect place to put it in, maybe in a future update for her spot. [/quote] I NEED THIS SO MUCH. I don't care if it's a copy/paste apparel job. I just want to be able to have the familiars show up ON my dragon when they're Awakened. [/quote] This sounds awesome, but the art load for it is going to be insane. A paste job won't work with flying poses (most familiars are standing or sitting, making it awkward to place the familiar at the bottom of the image), and even if it was a matter of just pasting/tilting/resizing, that's 785 familiars that need to go on 28 poses each (not counting in-progress modern breeds and future familiars.) That's [I]way[/I] too much to draw if they're not paste jobs, and yet another exponential addition to the art load for new modern breeds. I think it'd be really neat to see [I]some[/I] apparel familiars, kind of like this accent, but I'm never going to expect all familiars in the bestiary to be available as apparel.

Aaaah can't wait!!

[item=accent: radioactive slime] [/quote] I almost mentioned 'some' in my original post but didn't clarify. I'd prefer all/a lot as would everyone but feasibility, also some could encompass 'a lot' too, and hopefully if it happens it would be with ones that are more popular and interesting to get the biggest mileage out of it. I just think it's a real shame to have no actual visual interaction with familiars, and having her be all about interaction with familiars, and them in her art with her, makes the division clear for our dragons to have them in a separate, not really noticed box category down below, especially for those who choose them based on their role to help or be a friend to the dragon they're bonded to. A good amount of people like to see their familiars written into the lore for their dragon, color match getting a dragon specifically for a familiar, like the familiars more, or their dragon was actually saved/raised by the familiar, etc, and this new visual development in trading post just makes me yearn for the possibility of utilizing this visual concept to potentially in future allow getting maybe some at a time, every so often at a slow catch-up pace similar to apparel art's every so often drops, until we have a pretty good pool of them to also use visually and really connect as being important to our dragons too. This suggestion has come up numerous times and she seems like the perfect place to implement a variety of them with her specialty, somewhere down the line.
