KoenZoo's Animal Sign Collection

Thanks to Sophie for releasing her JW Animal Signs I came up with the idea to start converting them to animal signs for existing species. The idea is to make 26 different selectable items with a lot of variants, to make it possible to easily place the signs ingame.

Here are some previews:

Backgrounds from left to right: nocturnal, mountains, wetlands, desert, grassland/forest, savanna, jungle, snow

Ingame:

As you can see there will be different backgrounds and also there will be a few mixed signs for mixed exhibits. I will try to create a few common combination signs, but when I start releasing I will also upload the file so that you can easily create your own signs. The backgrounds of the signs will be changed and will be focused on the biome they can be found. For example jungle species will get a dark green background, while polar species will be given a snow white background. Though the idea for the signs will be the same. Their English name, their Latin name, a few facts and some specific information (thanks to Wikipedia). I focus on getting more than 250 signs finished before I will make a first release.

A list will follow.

They look really nice, perhaps I would put the scientific name in italics, but that's just a formality :) (also Length is misspelled)
Instead of coding them as variants though, have you considered dynamic sign coding? To make a single item that transforms when it's close to the appropiate animal (like these), especially if you're planning on making thousands of signs. I could help you get it working if you're interested.

Thanks for noticing Rayen. I'll make sure to fix it.

For the dynamic sign coding, thanks for letting me know. I will give it a try first. I'm a noob with coding, but with the tutorial I'll give it a try and if I can't get it to work, I'll make sure to let you know :) Thanks for offering me some help!
