♡ EARLY ACCESS: MANTIS' "MANTIS" PRESET PREVIEW (WIP)

AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD IN #EARLY-ACCESS CHANNEL ON DISCORD.

I am still working with the wonderful Pommelstrike on how exactly to get the glowing antenna to work, but they helped me greatly with the uv mesh so that the antenna do not have the face's skin textures overlapping!!

I wanted to release a preview of this mod as I am super excited! For now, she is only available to full-elf (V1 & V2) and drow (V1 only). Unfortunately, no glowy antenna yet (but hopefully soon!). I will make her for other races too once it is all figured out.

This version of Mantis is based on a blend of Marvel Rivals, Marvel's GOTG game and Pom Klementieff's Mantis (MCU) :)

This pack does not have a set public release date as it as a WIP project.

You can also find Pommelstrike on Patreon!

KNOWN ISSUES/WEIRD STUFF TO FIX

• Speak with the dead VFX do not work yet.

• Possible eye/blinking issues. I tried testing, and it seems fine, but let me know.

• The antenna mesh is very dense, so they look a bit "shadowy". They also don't blend super well into the forehead. Best to cover with hair :)
