hegetForget I'd only posted the deer to here. That won't do.
No nursery of any era is truly complete until it has a useable rocking animal?
And who said that animal had to be a horse? And what if you lived in Winterfell? I need that menagerie of toddler toys. The next animal on the list of Game of Toddler Toys was obvious- wolf. This time reasons included more than just the Stark children. See the amount of times in Tolkien someone uses a canine as a rideable mount. Not only the warg riders among the orcs (and baby goblins need toys too) but Luthien rode Huan on her epic quest. Which means little elven princesses from then on want Daddy to build them a fierce canine toy to ride instead of a unicorn.
And I had fun making the snarling mouth full of teeth. This isn't the most child-safe in appearance- but it works exactly like every other toddler rocker.
Now, for recolors I did my manditory two sets.
First I made some wood grain and shading to give a carved wooden look and filtered it over the iCad woods for a solid-tone stained wood look. The reins are various shades of neutrals.
The mesh itself has two subsets- one is the main body and the other is the curved rockers at the bottom. I also linked the reins to the rocker subset for reasons as you'll see.
For the iCad recolors, however, it looks better not to mix the woods.
To refresh your mind, these are the 20 wood shades:
Painted woods: More grays and browns! Aren't you excited?
First the solid tones: a black, and white, and a reddish brown. And an albino- different shade of white, red eyes. Jon Snow gets a Ghost.
The four shades of solid gray: light, two mediums- one darker than the other- and a dark gray. I also made one of the recolors with blue eyes in honor of Blind Seer from Jane Linkskold's series about Firekeeper.
Here we start to get the pretty patterned and multi-hued coats, the mix of browns, grays, and white that real wolf coats tend to be. Yeah, the names only tangently fit. Most of the other Stark children would have these.
Wolf coats in red and browns. Equally pretty.
And the last batch- a black with green eyes (for the baby), a creamy yellow, another brown that I personally dubbed the coyote-ugly, and last of all, my favorite: the Warg. With blood-stained teeth and bright red eyes, this is the rocking toy of Mordor!
Everything has been Compressorized, found in the children's section. Two tiles. Needs an adult or teen to place the toddler.
Requires at least Freetime.
Polycount is 1801.
