Staff Litter 2019 Discussion Thread

[King Scotty]

This is my second staff pup month, i've developed a system of naming them based on how they look as pups regardless of the final outcome appearance...

so today's dog is named Merlot Paws...cc

[Recidivism]

i'm just jot down some things that i've noticed about the artists and what they tend to do with their pets/pups (those not mentioned just don't have enough to go off of based on art styles or i personally can't make any connections), along with make a few guesses if anything pops out at me

Nadine: swirls as markings, paw markings, some sort of line or mark on the muzzle, clean and simplistic markings in general, typically have markings around the eyes, only 1 time when they didn't have their chest colored

Bernouli: eye colors and shading of the eyes are different than the "normal" pup, enjoys wispy effects/markings and fire, pups tend to be very simple/mostly 1 color, always edits the lineart

Desmond: markings have a realistic feel to them and the markings tend to look "soft" (meaning the brush they used was soft edged and kinda blends with the colors nearby), most staff pets made by them have wings in the adult stage and have their lines heavily edited, pretty common for their pets to have wing-like markings on the shoulder area

EmberWolf: realistic patterns most of the time, previous staff pets were "soft" looking and ended up with heavily edited lines as an adult (kinda getting a feeling that this might be their pup)

Lacuna: pets tend to have floral/flower markings, markings tend to be rather detailed/slightly realistic, minimal line edits, another artist that has "soft" markings (refer back to Desmond) (this is giving me Lacuna vibes but i can't excatly put into words why)

Metallic Dragon: pets have had airbrushed markings (looking from 2016 until now), uses swirls and tiger-like markings, eye colors are vibrant, adult stages have moderately edited lines

Raire: markings are soft, airbrushed, and simplistic, both staff pets (2017 & 2018) ended up with pixeled lineart

gonna stop for now but i'll probably make another post with the other artists

Well I can for sure say that this will be true again.

looks like the word "may" is now at the end of liddi's interests. this makes her hints:
1. My first hint is live. In transparent ink: It’s not here, silly.
2. 2347-0039 in interests.
3. Binary in interets that translates from 01001010 to J
4. 1917-2241 in interests.
5. 1221 in interests.
6. 0741-0912 in interests.
7. 1341-1427 in interests.
8. "may" in interests.
maybe her dog's name is may? idk how else it would connect. unless it's supposed to refer to the rhyme "april showers bring may flowers," which would reference the dog having flowers on it. recidi has a good point in that she tends to use floral patterns. the only thing i cannot connect is the numbers :c

still, is this your pet, lacuna?

^_^ I have three of the shibas and they are all so adorable. ahh I love the design and name. I wish I could hoard them but I think it'd be too much work. xD They have to be one of my favorite designs though.

Or May could be

May. the month, or May identify my pup soon, or my pup is named May

or I May be laughing at your futile attempts at identifying my pup

Very astute!
May or may not help, but that is a fine list of observations. C:

I love the fact that you guys looked at my dog and thought of fizzy things!
My dog's official-ish name is Brindabella, and her pattern is an adaption of a piece of art I recently did :3

love it! the circle pattern is mesmerizing, especially overlayed onto a gradient like you have. brindabella is also a really creative name? any meaning behind it, or was it just something that came to mind?

The name comes from the Brindabella Mountains, which incidentally is a beautiful place to visit if you ever take a trip to Australia ;) The style of the original art piece was influenced by my indigenous heritage, so it felt appropriate to give her a name connected to the land.

Gonna take a few stabs at guessing the creators of the remaining unclaimed pups

Vampiric:


With all the hints being computer/space/astronaut based, I'm guess on this puppy. While Vampiric does tend to do heavy line art edits, especially in pup form, I still feel this puppy fits the theme of the hints I picked up versus some of the pups with lineart edits at this time, but we shall see...

Yugi:


So far only one hint, but this pup reminds me of the ocean more than the others, so maybe?

Bernouli:

Simple pup design, eyes closed (to tie into 'open your eyes') and has tiger markings, and Tigers do tend to be shot at, as they are seen as a threat. Poor tiger pupper might be mistaken for a predator instead of a friendly puppy

Coalchaser, I'm not sure, but I noticed they tend not use floppy or crimp ear lineart nor short tails for their line art and for the most part the pups have no edits. Still thinking about theirs.


Solloby? I mean 'my puppy is the puppy I colored' and we have color by number pup here....

That's all I have for today c:
