Legendary Birds - EX versions

Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres have been updated!

Roughly a year ago, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres were released in a reworked fashioned, bringing them up to date within the newest standards and in much higher quality, along with their Shiny variations.

Since then, however, they have received polished/slightly updated sprites, and since I've developed a few more techniques with the Material Editor, as well as some updated clothing, and because I've always been dissatisfied with the old Shiny versions, I decided to re-release them with some updates.

Here's what's changed:

• All three have new body and face dimensions. New Iris shape shared between them.
• Height alteration and "weight" between the three are slightly different
• Most outfit slots were changed except main*/secondary (secondary is old version).
• Uniform similarity of outfits for Casual, Extracurricular, Sleep
• Moltres' wing design changed, reduced in size, with heat effect added.
• Moltres' hairstyle changed, MatEdit with effect applied
• Moltres' main outfit was changed slightly
• Articuno's hair, crystal and wing Material style changed (see previews below)
• Articuno's ponytail changed to new piece
• Zapdos' wing, hair, and spike Material style changed
• Zapdos received an additional Shiny version

As you can see in the preview here, the most noticeable difference is the material change for the wings, hair, and crystal headpiece. Slightly less noticeable are her face/body changes, iris change, and slight outfit modification. Sleeves have been changed and excess accessories removed and replaced with different fluffy gloves. Her top has also slightly changed, where her top piece had excess material sticking out above the breasts in the original, that part has been shaved off. Minor things like that have been altered/fixed in other outfit pieces and with the Zapdos/Moltres respectively.

Since I still consider the previous versions in high regard, I'm not going to archive them. Instead, these new "versions" will be modeled similarly to the Trading-Card Game (TCG), and simply labelled as EX versions.

However, I have no immediate plans for any future EX versions. The next several Legendary releases will either be 1) massive reworks or 2) entirely new. There will also be some non-Legendary releases to fill the gaps.

For now, enjoy!
