So a while ago, I adopted some pretty epic mixies from Meer! I've been slow about brexing the ones who needed it, but I finally finished today! So I figured I'd show everyone the Petz I was lucky enough to get!
These ones weren't hexed on in any way (by me, anyway):
Calirat, Witchling and Kema!
Nothing is as it seems with these three. Calirat is amazing, as she looks just like a regular rat, but with a texture that (I believe?) came from the VPZ Maine Coon file! Kema has some unusual breeds in her that you just wouldn't expect...she's definitely not all cat! And Witchling...she might be my favorite. She looks like a Munchkin, but she's part rat, which explains her body. She's like some witch or wizard pet, some hybrid...thing...I can't decide if she's more cat/rat or ferret. xDD Her feet almost seem to float at some points, adding to her magical feel! <3
Kitthing, Taffy and Squishie!
LOVE the texture they all sport! Kitthing is nothing but epic...as someone who is addicted to Walret mixies, her perfection and adorableness pleases me greatly. xDD Taffy looks like a cat in a dog's play bow! It's so cute!! She's another favorite, and I actually assumed Meer wouldn't let such a perfect little cat go, so I'm super thrilled I got her!! And Squishie...so cute, right?? I don't know why, but the rat tail works really well, and just...that little face!! I don't even know. Simple, yet adorable. <3
Tappi, What and Lys!
That fabulous texture continues with Tappi! I love how that one looks like such a perfect blend of bunny and cat! While What...is just a perfect blend of bunny and Modvark xDDD And that adorable bobtail, ahh! What looks weirdly perfect! And Lys amuses me. She looks like a regular little critter at first glance, until you realize she's not quittteee like other rodents. Something about her body is just not quite normal, yet she could play it off pretty well. xD I dunno, she's just adorable!
Jewel and Meeparoo!
Meer actually made these two over! I felt really bad taking both, as there were only a few of her brexed mixies available, but I couldn't choose between them! I love Jewel's angel Modvark look, with those fabulous cream and black colorations...even the fixed eyes and blue gem necklace are so nice! And the adorable little horn...she's like a Modvark version of a magical creature! xD And Meeparoo...oh man. I love that he has traces of Modvark and Sugar Glider, but he's so Kangaroo-y that he kind of just...is his own species! He meshes together so well, he's hardly a mix of many things anymore. He's a whole new breed, and it's so cool!

Here's the start of the ones I fixed! Starting with the smallest tweaks first!
Before pictures are on the left, After pictures on the right!
Dovuya was already pretty perfect and awesome looking...all I did was shrink those absurdly large feet down to size and get rid of the floaty ear bits. That's literally it. xDD I actually really like her dusty and white colors together, on that neat Modvark face! And I love her eyes!! They look like they might have been altered slightly in her finished picture, but nope. I didn't touch them. xD
(...Or did I? Did I anchor those paintballs by accident? Hmm...might have to make sure I didn't. xDD)
Lune was another simple fix. I also shrunk his giant feet, and I changed his pupils to black. I LOVE his colors (black and dusty is my favorite color combo after all xD) and I just love that he's an adorable little cat dragon!!
Lukio had another similar change! Shrunk her back feet (seriously why all the big feet? xD) and also shrunk her neck a little so she didn't look like she had a literal frog shoved into her throat. x'DDD I also omitted the cream ball on her neck. Not 100% sure what it was supposed to be, but it seemed pointless with what she inherited so I decided it wasn't needed. xD
Rukio had her pupils changed to black too. That is -literally- it. xD She is freaking perfect just as she is! I had SUCH a hard time choosing between Lune, Lukio and Rukio...and as you can see I just caved and took all three. :X I hardly know who I like better...Lune with my favorite color sceme...Lukio with possibly my SECOND favorite color scheme (cream and black!) or this beautiful, gold-furred girl with a white chin. <3 Ahhh, all so cute!! I do think I like Rukio's size/shape/tail the best. But colorwise I can't decide. xD Though her colors and that little white chin ARE pretty sweet...
Panja literally ONLY had his random floating ball omitted. xD I didn't realize when adopting him that he had the Modvark's 'play bow' body!! AND MODVARK NOISES. xDDD I just found it oddly endearing that he looked like a cute, regular kitty...wearing Modvark 'clothes' xD He was my biggest must-have and he's adorable! <3
Phoon only had to have the back paws shrunk, to look a little less ridiculous. xDD I probably could have made the front paws look more...well, paw-like..but I dunno. Looks kinda cute this way, right??
Pagoola is another one of my top favorites!! I LOVE his colors and texture so much! I love that he's a poofy, Maine Coon textured Modvark! I just fixed his 'toes-in-face' problem, and textured his muzzle. No, I did not even change his eyelids. Because 1, I was only 'fixing' him to how he was supposed to be, not really trying to make changes. And 2, I'm probably one of the only people (if not THE only person) who actually -likes- mismatched lids! xD I like their color as they are! Looking at him now, maybe I could have slipped in one tweak...making the tail bigger and fluffier. But oh well!
Siwaga only had the 'toes-in-face' problem fixed, but otherwise was left untouched. I liked the random colors and shape just as they were! And again, I love how the eyes turned out!!
Aardvark kinda reminds me of Meeparoo with his shape! Which is why I love him so much...it's such a kangaroo looking shape, just different colors! I fixed his 'toes-in-face' problem, and textured his muzzle, but he was perfection otherwise! I probably should have messed with his front feet too. Hard to tell, but they're not exactly...right. He's got his paw balls attached to his arms, but his toes are up higher in his neck area. xDD But it kinda looks like he's holding up tiny dinosaur arms, so...I dunno, it was kinda cute and I knew I'd make a mess of it if I tried to fix it, so I left it. xD
Lorver is sooo pretty, oh my goodness!! Another one I thought Meer would want to keep! xD Same as Aardvark, all I did was fix the 'toes-in-face' problem and texture the muzzle! All the rest of this epicness was already as-is!
Itaso was kinda fun! I snagged his Before picture from Meer's graphic of him, so I could show you how I saw him. When I first saw that picture, I saw those white areas on his muzzle...I knew they -couldn't- be stripes, but they LOOKED like them...and I liked it!! So when I discovered it was his 'toes-in-face' problem, and was...well, LITERALLY his toe balls... xDD I removed them, but of course now he didn't have his neat look. So, I paintballed the stripes as I saw them back on! It's simple, but I love it!! Also just noticing that he's got some extra balls by his arms, making him look rather...buff. LOL
Disic had a bit of work done. I removed some of the extra...fluff? (Looked more like random addballs) From his chest and belly area. They looked fine on Pagoola, but something wasn't fitting right with Disic, so he lost them and became slimmer. xDD I shrunk his feet, and removed the float ear bits, and that was it, I think. I kinda think he's unique enough on his own and didn't need anything else!
---
These last three, I think, had the biggest changes!
Tinden, another fabulous Walret mix, had the back feet shrunk, the muzzle textured, the floating ball removed...and well, you've obviously noticed the eyes. LOL I started doing this thing recently where I hex paintball eyes onto Walret's 'blank eyes' that they get sometimes...it's cute, funny and sometimes a little creepy since they stare forever and never blink...but that's what I was going for and it makes me giggle often. x'DDD Tinden though is the first one I've done that had eyes only really visible from the sides! So the paintball eyes face outwards...giving almost a lizardy look! Aaaand makes it twice as funny. LOL! The black colored eyes...that is the actual eye color in Tinden's code too!
Raptor was a favorite pretty quick when I first saw him! I don't know if it's the colors, or the rest of his body shape or what, but somehow -his- Modvark face looked almost dinosaur-y. xD I wanted to give him a scaley texture, but nothing I found looked right. So I went for some mild textures in just the right colors instead, and wound up with this. I also shrunk his feet, gave his tail a brown tip and ring lower down, removed the floating paw balls, textured the muzzle (well, I suppose I textured the entire pet, really!) and gave him a nose. Couldn't decide if it made him look less like a dinosaur, but he looks funny without it so... xP
He might look more like a rodent now. I honestly don't care. I think he's ADORABLE. ;-; I think he might be my favorite...maybe...it's so hard to choose!! I'll have more pictures of him below to show how cute he is, but yeah. His 'paws' are only a single ball on the end of each foot. I decided to hex him paws, but...it looked weirdly cute. It almost looks like he has mini boxing gloves. xDD And the brown texture I gave his brown points even had blue traces in it, to match his eyes!! It made his 'boxing gloves' look more like just that...he's a blue boxing kangaroo rat raptor!! x'DDD
And lastly...Trevor This guy had the ultimate rehaul! xD I was originally just going to fix his wings and ears, then I realized how BADLY his Modvark textures and white tail/markings clashed. He was...actually pretty hideous. x'DDD So aside from fixing his giant feet (for frick's sake xD) I trashed the Modvark textures very early on. I made his ears match his head. I made his all-white tail have a white tail TIP instead, and I gave his lower tail and back end area a reddish-orange texture that had white flecks in it. I added white paintball spots on his body, gave him a white chest/belly patch, added white to his muzzle, made the wings all white...uhh...is that everything?
I think so! Honestly, I love how he looks so much now!! He's almost a fox-like Modvark with angel wings and he looks so cute now!! I'm quite happy with his turnout, and I think you guys will be as well...because we can all agree that earlier form was kind of horrifying. x'DDD

See, isn't he cute though?? xDD
I forgot to mention, his textures are from [SKINSTEALER]'s site! It was a huge help because there were SO MANY textures to choose from. I tried TONS, and maybe spent the longest on Raptor. xD I didn't want anything too busy or flashy, and I wanted something to match his original colors...it really seems like there's textures on that site for everyone and every need! <3 I'm thrilled I even found a brown one with blue to match the eyes...what are the odds??

But yeah, that's it! xD Just wanted to share this project I've been working on off and on. Now I can just relax and enjoy my new buddies! Thanks again Meer!!
