Yeah it took some time to find another one, previous artist loved the project and did the creatures as a side-thing, but her new job demanded a lot more from her so she wasn't able to continue.
It might be a blessing in disguise however as we may now find a team with several people who may be able to fulfill our demand of 3d creatures faster as long as funding allows for it - hopefully hive starts doing a little better here as well so we don't have any downtime on 3d creation!
That is cool. I hope it works out well for you. Blessings in disguise are always good!
