Yes, the inspiration for this litter was indeed Spyro, specifically Spyro 2. The Spyro trilogy is a very near and dear game to me and Ripto's rage was the first video game I ever played.

Each of the outcomes were based off my favorite level from each home world. I focused on certain details and tried not to make it too close to the inspiration (changing colors and details).

Image This guy was based off 'Glimmer'. I focused on the intricate designs on the buildings. I made the base of the deer a bit dark and more of an earth tone to help bring out the grass, which if you look on cliff-sides it hangs off like moss. The building walls have dark blue and purple diamonds on them, I chose to use brighter colors such as the ones found on the large gems in the ground.

Image You guys already figured out this guy is 'Crystal Glaciers'. The bones along his neck were originally going to be a cream color but it blended in too much with the rest of the design so I made it black. The underbelly is the river of goo and the back has snow on it as well as some gems which show up on the walls.

Image This last one is a little odd as it's more based off an enemy than the level. It's based off the level 'Cloudy Temple' and the warlock enemy. The the face is pink like the Warlock's as well it's body is black like the cloak the enemy wears. The body has similar crest(?) to what the buildings have though I did it in gold to stand out from the back and that the Warlocks liked gold (gold wands and gold barriers). The blue/teal stripes are based off the tiles in buildings and the purple stripe on the back/tail is the wizard's purple head feather(?).


I would have given more hints/commentary but you guys are way too good at guess and if you figured out the theme and the last outcome wouldn't have been a surprise. I mean I saw some of you correctly guess what the last outcome would be.


As for the newborn, I chose something that was the same in every level, the home portal.

OK I'm not a huge deer fan, but I loved the deer this month.
Def struck something nostalgic with me.
That first purple one I thought was Spyro. xD It was the feisty face. lol
And this PPS, I can for sure see Spyro and Sparx as the inspiration for him!

Don't you mean "near and deer"? *ahem* lol xD

For real, though, I absolutely love these deer. The original Spyro was the first console video game that I ever played and because of that, the original Spyro trilogy will always be one of my favorite series of video games. I can't wait until the reignited trilogy is released and really home it comes to the Switch at some point.

I just have to start a new hoard for this deer litter, which is quite a feat for you to accomplish. I haven't been motivated to start a new hoard for a long time just because I haven't been all too active. But these deer represent the lovable dragon and his games so well that I just can't help myself. I can't thank you enough for making this litter. It does an amazing job at satisfying my nostalgia.

Image This is hoesntly one of the best second gen litters I've seen in a while.
Friendly reminder, AI generated pictures are not art and are actively trained on works from artists who gave no permission for their creations to be used.
Note for trades and PM's, I leave my CS tab open almost all the time for easy access. I am online but I'm not actively looking at the tab <3
Yes my characters are not actively developed, I place all the blame on hyperfixations not lining up with them.
Please don't message me asking if I'm selling or trading Closed species characters. If I haven't said otherwise? The answer is no.

This is absolutely amazing! It seems we have a lot in common judging from the pets you’ve made :lol:
Which is why you’re one of my favorite artists and never fail to amaze me :)

I remember a little bit of Spyro! I used to play it all the time when I was little and I acually knew the deer seemed very familiar but couldn’t put my finger on it! I think it’s aweaome!
