He, we didn't even commission the frogs and hippogriffs, but thanks, we'll be using them anyway.

One thing: I really like the look of the original spectral things and feel the new spectrals are a bit too pale (especially if we make them see-through as we're considering). Do you think you could brighten the colours?
I'll attach an image of the spectral thing and a few spectral bats as an example of what I mean.

The simulacra are a bit lacking in depth but otherwise look very good.

In any case, thank you! :D

Those look good, I guess I'll have to make a zombie frog and wyvern now, so that the packs match. Edit: hippogriff too.

For the simulacra, I rather like the crystalline look of the old simulacra tiles. I've been experimenting with pixelizing Porkchop's tiles, then modifying the images to make them less blocky, and then adding whitish highlights, but it's a lot of work and I'm not satisfied with the results either. Examples attached.

I like the crystalline bat, though seems to have lost most of its definition...

jpeg: I pushed my old experiments for auto-generating the tiles as wip-simulacra-tiles. Most look abysmal, but that's mostly because source tiles use dark grey rather than real black for contour lines. Upon editing the zombies, the effect is far better.

Simulacra from 5643 are in instead.

Edit: spectrals too.
