You could always go the Donald Duck approach and make the feathers at the end of the wing curve around things like fingers

Yeah, i just think that looks a little weird
Does anyone else collect Schleich here? My little brother got me the mandrill, Malayan tapir, and koala for Christmas. Im looking to get the salamander, sea turtle, Japanese macaque, black Bear, and African buffalo when I get back. I’m even debating buying some of the older animals they don’t sell anymore, like the cobra, rattlesnake, or pelican.
I did as a kid. Still got a big bin full of them on the attic
But the only one i got in the last like 15 years was the spinosaurus
More ideas for @Marvinb
. Sparrow hawk Archer. Once you figure out the hands, it could work. Any bird of prey really, you could also probably do a falcon. Think “Eagle Eye” but not an eagle cuz they’re too big
. Give the jerboa a Corsac Fox as a companion and to help carry his things (would probably be sentient too, helps out in the trading business)
. Mink or Weasel Farmer. farms Sow Bugs (for obvious reasons) and other insects
. Ninja Bat. Hangs upside down from trees and uses its swift flight to surprise attack.

Neat Ideas! Im still unsure about the lifestock and "animals" in this world. Currently mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians are all sentient being, so essentiall people. Idk if invertebrates and fish should stay as just animals. I think the idea of some being magically infused or selectivly bred to be larger so they can function as lifestock, mounts and work"horses" is cool.
I case of the jerboa trader a big scarabbeetle being essentially a wagon with all the goods on the back seems pretty dope
From what I've seen, bird figures seem to have normal hands which may be odd if other characters don't
Yeah bird people having either six limbs or using their primary feathers as fingers seems to be the most common solutions
What if in this world, since birds don’t have hands, they have little arm-band like things that they can sort of climb things on to?
Oh definitely! I have probably at least 150 animal figures (not all Schleich though!) My favorite brand is probably Papo...
I used to. Mostly the farm ones, but a few wild animals too. My mom’s side of the family would go to East Hill Farm every year when I was younger, and every year I got a new Schleich figure. I would also beg my mom for them every time we went to Michael’s. I have a whole bin of them in storage somewhere…
Yeah I think inverts & fish should be non-sentient, that way we can have the scarab beetle pack animal and the otter & kingfisher fisher/crabber duo.
I was going to draw the Jerboa and beetle, but man Scarabs are hard to draw, even for someone with no skill
Let us know how it goes!
I’ll probably hear back from them tomorrow.
Would you buy it?
Ah, I remember loving legos way back in the day. My favorite series was the LEGO Monster Fighters.
Just curious: how good are you with more human-like figures?
Idk really, i never do them
So I was playing around with the workshop dinosaur blueprints for future work on my zoo and started with the spinosaurus. I edited the spino to look a little more like the one at the zoo and well...
The old spino doesn't hold up very well with the proportions for the newer one I might aswell just throw the actual spinosaurus blueprint in my zoo and recolor it, it looks like:

It's one of the newer dinos in the dino park, which added an around the world dinosaurs thrown in the existing biome themes. There is an ancient oceans themed area which the spino fits in quite well. There is surely around 50 dinosaur statues featured, heres the full list:Wait they have a lifesized dinosaur model in their park, but its one from across the work instead of the many well known ones from canada?
