christmas is coming and i'm worried
by Breado @ Sat Dec 19, 2020 12:51 pm [Reply]

not about myself but the little animals - especially hamsters - who become gifts

yea, i don't usually make posts like this but

if you're getting or if you got a hamster this christmas. then please.
PLEASE DO SOME RESEARCH ABOUT HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEM IF YOU HAVEN'T YET.
and this goes for ANY little animals, e.g. guinea pigs, rabbits, etc.


at least for hammies i can provide a great source of info, her videos helped me a ton with my lil bean Luna
if any of y'all have good sources for any animal care, then feel free to share it below, i just want these little babies to have a good life and not end up being thrown away because the person that got them got bored of them!! ;^; <3

caught in your frost @ Sat Dec 19, 2020 12:54 pm

Yes same here! I work at a pet store and unfortunately all I can do is dissuade people from giving pets as presents. Only give animals as a gift if the recipient has expressed they want one and has done their research!

Such a cute drawing, reminds me of my heart hamster Teacup <3

Lemon Coyote @ Sat Dec 19, 2020 12:56 pm

YES !!
It always disappoints me when I see someone with a tiny cage, not enough bedding, and horrible care overall. IMO, hamsters are not good pets for little kids. Don’t impulse buy a pet! Hamsters aren’t as easy to take care of as people think.

Same goes with rabbits. My parents owned a rabbit when they moved in together, and it was a lot of responsibility. Buying tons of hay, replacing things constantly, etc.

gardog @ Sat Dec 26, 2020 4:14 am

Omg, your baby Luna is so pretty <3

Adding onto announcement: Animals require maintenance. If you are not willing to do maintenance, especially if this animal is for a child that will need adult supervision, do not get the animal. Simple as that.

And yes! Please! Do your research! It's very important that you know what you are doing and that you have something set up for the animal before you adopt them!

Okay, I think I got what I needed to say out.

Very cute hammy drawing, Breado, thank you for putting this message out there! <3

8-)

It's almost like, the more time and effort I put into my drawings the better they get, huh :/
Who would've known.

I know it's not that good, I'm not a pro artist but I'm proud of it and I had fun so that;s all that matters.

Don't know why I'm going off but enjoy this :twisted:

Merry Christmas!!!
by BoopoThyDrago @ Sat Dec 26, 2020 8:04 am [Reply]

Merry Christmas!!! I hope everybody stays safe today! Side Note - I finally got a drawing tablet! I hope to improve my drawings here, and I am happy about that!

The main thread's up!
It'll stay closed as I finish up the docs but you're welcome to mark <3


if you know you know, if you don't you can.
Please don't post in the old thread and let it stay inactive, if you want to mark the species I encourage you to join the Discord (yes, it's still up and running if kinda dead) or mark this thread instead!
Didn't wanna post it in the closed species section instead cause I might need someone to line it for me ejsesjrh no pen pressure gang

They are no longer dogs, rather than that a somewhat dog-looking feliformia-- kind of like a hyena. I based their current anatomy mostly off a cheetah and I'm so glad it actually shows oh my god

  5. Main thread adopts can only be created by our (guests) artists and occasionally other staff members.
  6. MYOs can be done by anyone and have to be approved by a staff member.
tl;dr design rules- kept in grayscale with one (in soma cases more) bright colorful accent.

Merry Christmas everyone! I just got a drawing tablet w/ a pressure pen, so I decided to experiment!
-it's a Veikk A15 drawing tablet
-The pressure pen works REALLY good for line thickness
-You hook it up to your computer and use the pen as a mouse for whatever program you're using

Searching for Chrismas
by Higamino @ Fri Dec 25, 2020 11:36 pm [Reply]

One night in a frosty winter, a small reindeer set out on the road to look for the winter miracle. It was cold and dark but the little reindeer got cold pretty quickly and it had no antlers like its older brothers. He came in the forest to a small wooden house there lived an old nice man. He gave the little reindeer a Christmas hat so that he was not so cold on his head anymore. The little reindeer thanked him and the man stroked it over the nose to say goodbye. The reindeer Lief continued and there were fewer and fewer trees until it reached a meadow a wise snow meadow where the snow slowly fell and its little wet began to shine. He was very happy and knew exactly it had to be the Christmas miracle in Winter Wonderland.
That the story so Marry chrismas ;D !
Enjoy it :D

Celastrus Coloured based on this drawing by DustyZoiveon

Coloured in an older sketch. Not the happiest with the wings - I admittedly should've used a smaller brush size for the detailing... oh well.

Look at that good little guy. Such a sweet pup, say hi from your internet *insert description here* and give pats!!

Extra art for Natural! thank you for purchasing this char!

AGh im sorry this took so damn long- ive been having bad mental health days lately and between that and school- stuff has been trickyyyyy, but fear not! i would never forget my gracious customers!

Holy crow she took a long time to sketch out though- this design eludes me. i had to draw her from this side for reference purposes- because she has funky hair. it was SUCH a struggle but it was worth it. Timer is inaccurate because i always have tabs open when im not using them. But oh well- i hope this is at least sort of worth the wait!

Natural @ Wed Dec 02, 2020 1:46 pm

oh, it's wonderful! thank you so much!! definitely worth the wait <3
