Avatars With Stripy Tails, So many species... Options

[Foxfairy]

I think Furcadia needs an avatar with a long, stripy tail. I'm not talking about the tufted, lightly striped feline ones, either. There are plenty of species (and ones that I've seen around) with long, striped tails: lemurs, Ringtail Cats, Raccoons, crazy cheshire-cats, red pandas and so many other characters. Think thick, bold, eye-catching stripes. These avatars would be really useful in portraying something different for Furcadia and adding a lot of variety with some bolder, jazzier colors. An ubquitous portrait of a slightly feline creature with rounded eyes and a mask would serve the purpose of portraying several species, too. I know Furcadia isn't hugely concerned with being a part of the furry fandom, but red pandas and raccoons are very popular furry species. Plus, they're cute.

A ringtail-type avatar (raccoons, red pandas, et al.) has been suggested before. Of course, that doesn't negate the fact that it's a good idea. However, when (or even if) it'll happen is a good question, since DEP's out to "corner the stock market" first (ie. bulls and bears).

We've actually been talking about selling special tails in Digo Market. To make the wings dynamic and the download smaller we are disattaching wings from furres. Since the squirrel tail interfears with wings, we will also disattach all the tails. This will allow us to change which tails go on which furre! So maybe you can have a kitty or squirrel with a long stripey tail in the not too distant future.

If you disattach all the wings does this mean that in dreams we must make sure that the wings will fit all of our species since we'd only have one settings for wings? Or would we be able to set multiple settings for wings for each species? Does this mean that, for example, we could no longer have different classic wings for rodents and equines? Or would we still be able to patch it the way we can now; just the defaults would be different?

Most things are grandfathered in Furcadia. I don't know exactly how we will work it, but it should be nice. We are hoping to make it so when you design an avatar, you can set up where and how the wings will attach.

Perhaps you could create a layered system in the FSH editor, like in Photoshop and other programs? The bottom layer could be the avatar itself, then the upper layer would allow you to edit the wings/tail/random bodily appendage that is being added without harming the avatar underneath?
Otherwise I think the idea is great.

Oooh, I can't wait I want a stripy tail!

You do know this was made two years ago, right? Though they might still have this planned.

We might!
