It was made by Emberwolf (newest artist)

Actually, each pet is listed in the Archive has having been done by the original litter's artist, so no, Emberwolf did not do all of tonight pets.

Here's a Question for the Artists, relating to today's release:

When you make a litter of pets, do you intend for some of the to be PPS, or is that a site decision when you present your designs? Like, Do the admins look at the various stages and say "Well this one can be left a second stage PPS while the others can grow up"?

I ask because I guess I sort of assume that the final stages were already drawn when the litter was presented, and the Christmas Watermark was just sort of tacked on for the event. Not to make the site sound lazy at all; I just think that would be an easy way to go about it for the event, rather than have you all dig up the designs and Re-draw them for the deadline. Just..have them already done...

((I'm rambling, I'm sorry. xD))

The artist is the one who gets to decide if a pet is made a PPS or not. It's entirely possible that some artists already have GUPPS designs in mind when they create a PPS pet for a litter, but it's not done in the way that an artist makes a grown up pet and then gets told that they should keep it PPS for the release. That's completely up to the creator.

My assumption has been that the staff goes through the last year or two and picks out a few pets that they'd like to do an adult version of - I would assume that the artist who did the original litter gets priority for doing the growths for consistency of style and whatnot. Considering that I believe the deer was from 2014 I doubt the artist would've made an adult and waited two years to release it lol.

Hah, I guess that makes sense. xD
It's just always something I've though about, year to year.

I know I, personally, can never draw the same thing twice and have it look like it matches, so I guess in parallel to myself, I would have though it to be easier to do /while/ you're already working the litter.

The deer's actually from this year! The draft's from 2013 though.

@Aliria
Ah thank you - I knew one of them was an oldie lol. Clearly I've got my act together. *facepalm*
Or maybe I've just been here too long? Lol.

I actually only managed to miss three growths - which isn't bad for me. I think that these two are my favorites:

The octo-cat really surprised me - in a good way - and the color of the devil's fur… I just can't get over him! :)

[Dwemeri]

What a great litter! When I saw the text 'these guys have waited long enough to grow up' I was so excited!!


This guy right here is my favorite. I LOVE the dark colors and the beautiful runes and the tentacles! I just have to figure out how I'm going to hoard him lol.

Darn this year isn't my friend at all. I'm missing so many outcomes this Christmas it isn't even funny.
Missed four of tonight's GUPPS. But I must say all the outcomes are so beautiful. <3

[XTashX]

I didn't like the pps cherry blossom deer but absolutely adore this adult version <3

[satyn]

T_T I think I missed at least 4 outcomes... my luck has been quite bad lately...

Either way, they're all so lovely. I prefer the PPS deer over the adult, though, because I feel like it fits the look better on the lineart? I do like it, though!
