For Future Idea:

I have an idea that a pet can have skills or can grow. Maybe it can be done by making a special scroll spell for each pet, so that it can provide exclusively to each pet. So we can also choose Pet with or without skill.

And strong or weak skills depend on Pet level, such as developing following a pet level. Maybe this can also be applied to pet growth, where he will increase a little bigger when he reaches a certain level.

Like making a spell scroll that can develop by itself depend on Pet level.

@Korzeam:

I hate having to ask for help with this, but is there any chance you can produce a set of "dragon portrait" icons, using my new Emberdrake textures?

I really do not know how you manage to create all these custom portraits—but I could sure use the help making proper icons for the class.

I can't promise anything but maybe I'll try next week-end.
I'm not an expert neither.

For what it's worth, I guarantee you will be better than me at it.  I have no idea how to get a portrait-appropriate screenshot at all, let alone crop it for the frame.

new skin textures for dragons made by @Lord Nyriox

Frankly, I would rather see my older dragon skins be included in the Variant Pets mod.  I have a dozen or so nice-looking dragon skins that I am not actually using (which I originally designed for use as pet skins anyway).

@Korzeam:  I have attached my numerous dragon skins to this post for convenience (along with the CloudDancer skin).  I would be overjoyed to see them added to your Variant Pets mod.

4 of your old dragon skins are already in my mod, and you have been credited for them on Steam Workshop.

@Korzeam:  The only dragon skins of mine in the Variant Pets mod, are several variants of the Emberdrake textures.

However, a few years back, when I was trying to backport Vyrax to TL1, I created several "pampered" variants of the vanilla dragon texture, explicitly intended for use in dragon pets. 

For those textures, I carefully filled in the scars in the wing membranes, gave the eyes a little more definition, and even—for some of them—added a line of scales over the back of the wings (along their fold-points).  Then I carefully tinted the resultant textures to several different color variations.

None of those "pampered dragon" textures are in your Variant Pets mod…but I am lobbying for their inclusion.  Please?

Can you also make Phoenix skin texture for Pet Hawk?

Ask, and ye shall receive...

• 2 different phoenix textures (with matching glow-maps).
• 1 high-res parrot / macaw texture.
• 1 vanilla-style red hawk texture.

...all in uncompressed DDS format.

Woww :o ... this is so cool. Thank you @Lord Nyriox

I performed a variation of the same process that I used to make the new Emberdrake textures. 

I color-enhanced and contrast-enhanced the vanilla hawk texture (resulting in that two-one "red hawk" texture), then ran Ostagram on the resulting textures, based on a set of templates that I had catalogued months ago.

With this Variant Pet will gets a new skin for Pet Hawk.

That one is up to @Korzeam.  I am still waiting for him to integrate more of my previous dragon textures.

FYI, for some strange reason, Windows Photo Viewer has trouble loading uncompressed DDS images (which mine all are).  You can preview uncompressed DDS textures using a 3rd party viewer, such as the lightweight "Windows Texture Viewer".

Of course I will take a look to this, but first I want to finish a few things on my other project.
So, maybe in a week ?

Something I have to say, I have to keep the mod Variant to a reasonable size so I may have to recompress some files. And for the dragons I'm not going to implement them all, these files are particularly big.
