Tiny Fierce Lion

NEW! UPDATED! Now includes an outfit, a dark grey business suit, as an option.

This lion has a round belly, probably full of tasty zebra or gazelle. He's small, but mighty, the king of the jungle in diminutive form. This avatar is highly detailed, and I'm very pleased with it, I hope you enjoy it.

~~~~~FEATURES~~~~~

MODIFIABLE - Every prim and script in this avatar is modifiable, except for one - there is a "zht_OnRezUpdateCheck" script in the head that is no modify. For this reason, the lion head may appear no mod in your inventory, but if you rez it to a surface, you will find you have permission to edit it.

COPIABLE - You can make multiple copies of this avatar, so that when you've modified it, you can save it with several different "looks."

RAWR NOSE - Clicking the nose of your avatar will cause it to say "RAWR!" anyone can click your nose. If it gets on your nerves, simply remove the script from the nose prim.

AUTOMATIC UPDATES - I might make some changes to this avatar, or some fixes to problems if they come up. If I do, you will automatically recieve updates when you wear the lion.

ZIG TINY AO - Inside the head of your lion is a collection of animations and scripts that make up the ZIG tiny AO.

~~~~~KNOWN ISSUES~~~~~

Your tiny AO may not function correctly in land where scripts are disabled. If you find that you are unfolded in no-script area, you need to leave the area, reset your AO, then go back to the no-script area. This is a problem with ALL animation overriders, whenever you enter an area where scripts are disabled. If it continues to be a problem, you need to either leave the no-script area, or wear another avatar while you're there.

The sit animation on this avatar is rather awkward. Most tiny avatars are created using a fairly basic sphere shape as the body. Because of this, animations can be fairly flexible. However, This avatar was built to try to look a bit more realistic, and the sit animation is extremely awkward. I have tried both sit animations that were avaliable to me - the "kage" animation set (used by most tiny avatars, notably the ExtroVirtual Tinies by Wynx Whiplash) had an even more awkward sit than the Zig set that I used in this avatar. If you find a better open-source sit animation for this avatar, please let me know.

~~~~~CREDITS AND THANKS~~~~~

This avatar was created and concieved by Ed Bumstead, and other than the hair texture (which was made by Sarabi McMahon) all textures and sculptmaps used in the creation of this avatar were made by Ed Bumstead. The idea to make a lion avatar was inspired by my good friend Mogwai Ninetails, who was looking for a lion avatar and was unable to find one that he was satisfied with. I had help in the form of advice and criticism from Sarabi McMahon, Mogwai Ninetais, Kesseret Steeplechase, Allehu Slade, Orion Raymaker, Winter Ventura, Ariesviper Barbecue, Noam Poikolainen, and probably others that I am forgetting (sorry about that).
