Hello furiends and furenemies!
I know I've been a bit quiet for a while - a medical scare had me cooped up in hospital for a while, but everything is good now!
Although I'm hard at work on the Sergal V1.1, I've been cleaning up this model and preparing it for VRC. Although I've yet to make the male variant + clean up some texturing issues, it should be in a wearable state - and can therefore be downloaded from the Discord DLC repository!
Please let me know if you spot any ri...

It's been a lot of work, but there is now a RC of the Quest version of the sergal, available for eligible patreon tiers on Discord.
All fluff has been cut out to work with an opaque shader, and legs bones are reparented to work without the usual digileg constraints, as Quest does not support these.
The entire avatar uses a single material slot, and clocks at approx. 13,500 triangles, including the fur and mane. All shapekeys have been preserved and cleaned up to work with the chan...

Hey gang!
With the Sergal nearing feature completion (V1.1 will be a relatively big update, with optional fluff, more blendshapes, and working clothing options), it is time for us to start looking forwards! I have a lot of smaller bits and pieces to hammer out (Clothing, QOL updates, etc), but I figured it would be time to start scoping out what the next “Big ticket” item should be.
To be clear, I’ll be working on stuff not on this poll as well. This is long-term planning. I...

A small but significant update, please grab it!
Fallback shaders have now been fixed, Substance and 3DCoat files are added, and a hoodie (Early WIP) has been pushed in as well.
Enjoy~

Whoa Nelly, was this a lotta work. Without further ado;
https://krample.gumroad.com/l/SkadiSergal
The ONA Sergal can now, finally, be used legally within VRChat. Staying relatively true to the original, this is nevertheless an EXTREMELY comprehensive overhaul, with re-painted 4K textures, lovingly crafted shapekeys, completely custom shaders, and a lot of future goodies in the pipeline!
A...

Hey gang!
We're gettin' to the finish line. I have some tweaks left to do, but since it's more or less all wrapped up, I've gone ahead and set up a release date for this saturday, 10 PM CET!
https://discord.gg/VNmQ6Vg2?event=948561427856232468
The avatar will be available both on Gumroad, as well as on Discord for those with the appropriate benefit tiers!
Thank...

The Sergal is coming along nicely, but I ended up spending a LOT more time re-painting fur, than I was originally intending - hence the quiet period.
I am more or less done, although there is the mane + body fur left, which will take the time it takes.
I also got some very helpful feedback from Trancy Mick, and have adjusted the neck + head position per her redlines. There's less of a bird neck now, more in line with most artwork.
It's still a bit too early to give an ETA, b...

Gettin' expressive!
This update is a bit of an odd one - most features are in place, but as I am reworking textures, it is a bit rougher to look at.
One of the most exciting news here is that the Sergal now has working digitigrade legs - and I am hoping to get some input on how these feel.
Input on facial expressions would be helpful too!

As much as it pains me, it's been a frequent request, so I made a Kobold shape that is less dummy thicc.
It'll be a while until this is a part of the Gumroad box, but for now, a .blend file with the new body blendshape is in the EA Discord channels. The blendshape is Body_Slim, and should work with all clothing.

The Fenra is now released, and joins the Sergal as a Patreon-only early access avatar!
It can be grabbed from #early-avatar-access🐤
As it is, the avatar is somewhat barebones, but comes with all the basic recolors, male/female, and a shorts+tanktop combo, with tons of texture options.
See the attached video to see the Fenra in action!
I also added an eye color slider, blush slider, wings toggle, and a horrific curse.
Input is very welcome, while I get back to ...

It's been a busy few months!
I recently quit (one of) my full-time jobs, and as a result, I have a lot more time to spend on content creation!
We recently cooked up a set of gymwear for an as-of-yet SL only avatar, the Fafnir Fenra - but due to the shape being somewhat similar, it was a breeze porting it to function for the Kobold as well!
This outfit can be grabbed from the Patreon channels on Discord.
Additionally, I will be releasing a Fenra early access for VRC in ...

Wew!
I was hoping for a late november release, but work came up.
Although my flight takes off in a few hours, I managed to churn through the biggest issues discovered by you all so far (Huge thanks to Arix and Adeon!), and updated the current early access version. Added a female variant, and cleared up a lot of rigging issues.
Next update should hopefully have facial blendshapes as well, but that will be once I'm back in early Dec!

It's been a pretty frequent request. Although the majority of the Kobold parts were hand-painted in 3DCoat, I threw together an organized substance file (Male and female) for those of you who like to recolor in Painter.
These were set up in the 2022 version, mind you!

Early days, but getting there!
Just got a working version of the Skadi into VRChat, putting some of the more challenging bits (Digitigrade legs) on hold for now.
The avatar is still barely functional, but I'm rather happy with the skinning and geo cleanup (Save from the current UV issues), and would love some feedback on how the limbs feels, so far. Current version can be downloaded by Patrons from Discord.
Progress should speed up from now on, the heavy lif...

Taking a break from this for now, but a WIP of the Kitchen Pinny apron outfit has been rigged up for VRC, and is rearin' to go! Zipped up with a layered .psd, downloadable through Discord - hoping some of you get use out of this!

It is a bit overwhelming to deal with all the logistics of moving over large amounts of content from SL to VRC, while also juggling two full-time jobs.
In an attempt to alleviate some of the biggest pain points for a while (Product images, setting up gumroads, etc), I will just be doing a rough and messy mass migration of existing content, and dump it on Discord as undocumented WIP's. This'll give you guys a way to play with these outfits early, while I won't break my neck dealing...

A bit overdue, but the Hymir Hound is now out for VRC.
(https://krample.gumroad.com/l/Hymir)
Patreons of appropriate tiers naturally have access to the unity packages now
I love you all
Especially Arix

https://gum.co/Snaggletooth has just been updated with a snazzy, medieval outfit for the stab-happy kobolds among you. Some assembly required, so Blender/Unity know-how is a must.
This is a free DLC for mid-tier supporters, accessible through Discord! Please let me know if you have any issues! ( ` ω ´ )

Hello everyone!
Kicking off this page, I figured I'd have to start by offering up some content. For now, there will probably be a heavy VRChat focus here, but we promise that we won't be neglecting old SecondLife fans.
There's still a lot of moving pieces, and I'm working on getting the Discord channels structured and organized - and generating content to actually make being a supporter worthwhile.
For now, I'm planning to hammer out a few VRChat Kobold outfits f...
