Posted March 21, 2011 In a little over 4 hours, I'll have two adult pillows and 1 adult swallowtail. But they aren't Smurfs? *pokes her hatchies* Grow up already! (I didn't incubate.. ) I managed a black stripe on my second attempt when my stripe pair was able to breed. They're pretty! Share this post Link to post

(I didn't incubate.. ) I managed a black stripe on my second attempt when my stripe pair was able to breed. They're pretty! They'll be pillow and swallowtail smurfs later - I sometimes don't use the smurf suffix if I get the "cute"/good names first. I'll be unlocked late tonight to try to catch more or breed if catching is unsuccessful. Edited March 21, 2011 by rubyshoes Share this post Link to post
Posted March 21, 2011 In a little over 4 hours, I'll have two adult pillows and 1 adult swallowtail. How is that possible? Even the earliest dropped should still be several hours over 4 d, no? Share this post Link to post
Posted March 21, 2011 How is that possible? Even the earliest dropped should still be several hours over 4 d, no? I caught 4 during the first 5 minute drop and used incubate. I have 3 that will be adults just a few minutes past midnight and another that will be adult a couple of hours later (I fogged it to not hatch and lock me up until I'd caught more eggs or it would also grow up a bit past midnight.).

Not really anything besides that the Swallowtails are the first transparent sprite I believe. But new releases are always exciting Share this post Link to post
Posted March 21, 2011 The "more then meets the eye" thing in the OP referred to the black-stripes. They weren't announced and weren't in the post until users started getting them. Still don't have a pillow. I've offered to trade for one, 'cause I can always breed more black-stripes, but I can't seem to snatch a pillow. They are soooo freakin' cute! Share this post Link to post
Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) LOL i'm just moving the swallow all around my desktop... can't wait to try it in a paint program with more images... Does paint work? Cause i only have photoshop...I don't even remeber if paint can open multiple files ...:S never mind it can't Edited March 21, 2011 by geminia Share this post Link to post
Posted March 21, 2011 ONLY a program that supports transparency SUCH as Photoshop or GIMP will work. Share this post Link to post

Posted March 21, 2011 it's still solid in photoshop Use Imageready to save in transparent PNG-24 then open it in photoshop. I did it and worked. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 21, 2011 Still think pillows look like sheep. X3 Well, you can make sweaters with their fur, so.... Share this post Link to post
Posted March 21, 2011 I've managed to get two pillows (influenced one to be female and one male), two swallowtails (influenced one to be female and one male), and three black stripes (influenced one to be female and one male, but let the third one be whatever it is going to be).

If you dig through the thread you'll find some examples. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) Oh woe is me I cannot seem To get myself an eggie I seem to get The old ones now You think it's me, just maybe? Me thinks I need The magic skill Of good ol' Mr. Neggie (Negima) I sit and wait Most hourly To see new eggs appear-er I click and click As fast may be But the darn eggs disappear-er I want the new Indeed I do But others find them dearer.... My scroll was lock'd The first day out As well the second, too And finally My hatchies grew I was free to eggs pursue This third day now I've tried and tried Oh what, oh what to do? sigh.... sorry about that... I got frustrated and decided to write a poem.... Edited March 21, 2011 by Husky51 Share this post Link to post
Posted March 21, 2011 Just got home, and have to say, I really admire the sprites (S1 through Adult!) of the swallowtails. The fluffies are cute and unusual, but I might have to collect an army of the swallows. Beautiful job, all spriters! Share this post Link to post
Posted March 21, 2011 I still don't get what's "more that meets the eye?" And that's so cool! Transparent sprites!! It's just the wing membranes though... They should make all sprites like that but it must take a lot of work... But with the right program, maybe not... And so far, I only got one black stripe! HERE PILLOW-PILLOW-PILLOW!
