Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on my second mod, which is far more ambitious than the previous one, and I aim to include badgers in the game if the title hadn't given that away yet.
I'd like to do a bit more than just that though, I'd like to include some little references, but that is going to take some time.
Meanwhile, I've got the first texture for the badger ready after like 2 hours of trying to come up with pixel 'art' for it. Needless to say, I've gained a ton of respect for artists :P
Anyway, here's the picture, feedback is more than welcome!

Reworked art

I figured I'd ask my friend who is a little better at making art than I do, and he came up with some great results.
Here is the new and improved badger art :

good work, now remove its legs, check out core art for the style to try and go for, if you want to of course. ;)

I've spent a while deliberating, and ultimately decided that although there are a lot of animals in the game that do not have legs, like muffalo or boars, I'm probably going to keep the legs on there :P

nothing has legs in rimworld. Your choice.

The deer & monkey mostly do have legs, but I get your point. I've tried pretty hard to make it look like the badger would fit naturally within the core, even though it does have legs whereas 90% of the critters don't. I would feel a little weird adding it without legs. I might experiment with giving it 'bumps' like some of the animals have

thats the usual way yeah. Check out some of anons stuff, his is the closest match ive seen in a while to cores look:

wow, thats rather good.

I'm glad you like it, this is probably going to be the art that I end up using. I have a quick question, because I couldn't help but notice that you're working on making A Friend's Vanilla Friendly Animals a thing. I'd like these badgers to be part of naturally generated temperate biomes, would I have to include my own copy of the core's Biomes_moderate.xml file, but with a small addition to the <wildAnimals> part, and if so, would that leave the possibility to not be compatible with other animal mods? I'd like to try and keep this as compatible as possible.
