WIP scene from an animation I'm working on (needs some more polish)

New banners for Nycto, available now!

Fun fact: he's mostly inspired by his depiction in both Codex Telleriano Remensi and Codex Laud, with a tiny bit of inspo from the snake head statues found in Teotihuacan (mostly in the shape of his head plume and the funky curled fangs)

May I offer you a Quetzalcoatl in these trying times?

Got approved on CurseForge as well 🔥

Nycto has been released!

Massive thanks to all my supporters, they were unbelievably helpful with bug and balance testing 💚

Modrinth: modrinth.com/mod/nycto
CurseForge (once I'm able to appeal the mod description lmao): www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc...

Is the lion still available?

Happy to have made the icon and a few of the textures!

(ignore the jaguars and suspicious flowers)

Been cooking (corn)

Isn't the one in the middle with the samurai armour, and the small image to the right of it, actually an actual aztec macahuitl (or at least mesoamerican), but the museum curators didn't know it and just assumed it went with the samurai armour? (also a persian shield lol)

The riso stages

Curseforge has already approved! Still waiting on Modrinth

Happy Thanksgiving!
Have a new mod- Faunus!

And finally just the model itself without funny compression

Running

Screech

Faster flight

A bit late for spookytime but have a Camazotz! With some bonus Zapotec bat god inspo

Also this is just a fragment of what all will come in v3, so watch this space!

Here's your last spoiler for now (no context)

And last for now, but the Black Well... our first "structure" that relates to obtaining Esstline, but the rest will be a surprise...

Next up is some various worldgen improvements, including Sapstone and its many variants that have ctm (it was suffering). They will occur in some new biomes and will replace the terracotta in Uplands

The main aylyth trees themselves will also have branches now, to add to the ambiance

New resources! In v3 (the coming update), aylyth will have Real Actual Progress. The green block here is Nephrite and its many variants, and the metallic one is Esstline. Both of them will be obtained in quite different ways...

In the first images, we can see that marigolds got a much needed makeover, so they look like proper marigolds and also have several variants

(though the bony stuff here isn't specifically for aylyth, it is for a modpack that will heavily feature it tho, but they're not aylyth-based specifically)

Halloween isn't over yet no matter how much they want you to think it is, so have some Aylyth progress to prove it! (thread 🧵)

Alternative to the turnaround with a white bg, to make it easier to see and read

Basic turn around and expression sheet for the evil axolotl

Fun fact: the symbols next to the emotions, other than shock and smug, are all based off actual symbology used in codices

Hello yes moving here

Have some silly creatures-- updated version of Cipactli, the monster of the earth, and the earth itself, and just an evil axolotl as a treat
