Just an idea on the lizard from above, well first, if he's too polygonally complex, will we even be able to use him?
He's not really too complex; it's just that I modeled in high poly instead of low poly for this particular incarnation. So no worries there.
I really like the idea of having the lizard be a bug eater in the flowers--that's a new one on me.
Alright then, how about if we make the lizard like 3/4 of a foot long? We need a body design for it too...all we have now is the head!
So then, how do we get the flower to open? Perhaps by making a "large bug buzzing" sound nearby (I'm almost thinking one of those Riven rolling eyes that made various noises when you spun them, but something natural instead)?
