After coming back to the game, digging through my old files, and trying to make sense of how the new engine and all the fancy mod tools work, I quickly realized there was no way to port my old mod to DT. So, I started completely from scratch. With the scales I’d originally used no longer available, I stitched newer ones together and hand-painted every single pixel — every face, every tail, the entire body.
The result is a fully original, hand-crafted texture set meant to hit that “stone” sweet spot — somewhere between the bony vanilla look and the smooth, glossy style most other mods use. It’s been a long process (and more than a few nights of muttering at my monitor), but I’m really proud of how it turned out. My hope is that this helps people get closer to the image they see in their heads when bringing their characters to life.
Features:
💠HD (2K/4K where applicable) textures
💠Scaleless neck seam
💠Smooth, Detailed, Buff, and Depigmentation variants
💠Hand-painted base scales set in 2K/4K for all faces, tails, and body — inspired by Bizu’s original design
💠Hand-painted original brushed gold design in 2K/4K for all faces, tails, and body (both base and mask layers)
Credits & Thanks:
Huge thanks to Jane and Shieke for jumping in to help with bits and pieces — you two kept me from losing my mind more than once!
And a massive thank-you to Fantosme, who basically handled every technical thing I couldn’t (which was, uh… most of them) while also trying to teach my dumb goldfish brain and patting me when the thoughts slid right off. Practically my partner-in-crime for this mod at this point ❤. I couldn't do it without you!
Mod resource credits go to Bibo+ (Bizu and Tsar) and FreyaPurrito's NB Scales. Do not edit this mod to sell, use in commissions (in whole or part) for yourself/others or distribute under a different name. This took a couple hundred hours worth of work and it's free, so please don't try and make money off of all of this hard work.
