Skin Swaps! (Owls and parrots that never were... etc.)

[Lupis]

The Devilraptors look amazing! THey seem slimmer and more wild than the classic raptors. Love it! Those should be implemented some day... Especially the green and brown ones!
The raptor skinned devilsuars.. Not so much.

I presumed the question was how easy would it be for them to generate new skins by the same method.

That is what I meant, yes. Since you said this is just basic playing around with all of the color files, as opposed to something like SB's worgen horse, I should think it would be something Blizzard could create to make some new skins.

I would love love love the black and red owl and the black eagle...they are beautiful!!!!

To be fair, I suspect it's because even though they share the same skins, the devilsaur ones are 512x512 and the raptor ones are only 256x256. So the devilsaur ones have 4 times as many pixels. I'm not sure why that is. Since devilsaur skins were derived from raptor ones, I presume the latter do exist at higher resolutions in the art team's database. Hopefully then they could probably be upgraded.

To avoid getting too far off-topic I'll post any other new skin mash-ups I make over here: http://forums.wow-petopia.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=13887

BUMP!

Hey Wain/Noah,

Any chance of getting some of these, particularly the ones below, into 4.3?...

[Kalliope]

You know Wain != Noah, right? I'd imagine that Wain would add ALL of these skins in on his own if he could!

The database would be so full of new skins they couldn't be used up in 5 expansions

Seriously though, even if I were Noah I probably couldn't just do that. I imagine the art team would be zealously guarding the database like a big angry Cerberus

I was thinking of all those as an exclusive pet range for Blood Elf hunters (The Haris Pilton Pet Collection). Or maybe for when we get gnome hunters.

Yeah, I know.. but since that special connection is there, easier to address to both of them.

I'd just love to see some of these added in obscure places...

[Ceravan]

Void turtle ftw, that one looked awesome and I'd have it in a heartbeat

-grabby hands at many of these- I don't have a raptor/devilsaur/bird on my main hunter...or any hunter. And I would really love some of these skins to help me get into those families.

[Jaronn]

The eagle skins looked just different enough that I hadn't tried them yet. I thought they'd look rough. But you're right, but they do look good.

The black stormcrow skin on the eagle looks very awesome:

Wow. I would tame this one in a second!

[Mychelle]

Is definitely one I'd have to run out and get...

Very curious though, have you tried any skin changes on the spiny raptors? Or is the difference a bit too extreme?

[Kurasu]

I love the corehounds with turtle skins! But...what about the Kurken? He's a-lurken....

..... OMG I hadn't considered that. I desparately want to see what that looks like. Even if it's ridiculous.
