Found some potential hints??


A dressup on one of Fawnie's pups


I'm absolutely POSITIVE I saw a participant with a dressup with a bunch of party hats (phones as well but if that is a hint for this guy the phone isn't apparent yet) hidden in a group with no dressups otherwise that I wasn't sure was a hint yesterday but now I literally cannot find who it was; I think the pet was a caterpillar? It was towards the back of the group, I think it may have been in either a favourites or to be sorted folder? Will quote or edit this if I find it again but putting it out now in case anybody else may have seen it as well and has a better memory

You. I like you facing your own way. Good for you right facing pup

After scouring through the archives looking at art styles, I have a few more theories to throw out there, though these are all kind of loose until we see the rest of the pups


This one, other then the pixely pup, seemed like the one with the most obvious style indicators. Right now my guess is Lacuna? Looking at some of their staff pets from previous years, they tend to by linebreaking, with clean lineart with a harder shading style from some of the other artists. There are also artists on the list this year I'm less familiar with though, so, could be totally wrong.


I feel like this might be Fawnie, the linebreaking bits are kind of small at this point but their pup last year had a different expression and the general style seems kind of similar.



Looking just at the pattern for this one is kind of tough, but looking at the little sprout on its head, the rendering is really smooth with kind of soft, colored lineart, which could point to artists like Doglike or Saikiyo, though Saikiyo tends to have more off-normal model pups, so maybe Doglike?

The last one, idk

Love the color palette this year, excited to see everyone's pets <3
Adopted a little over an hour late because I was at a party so that will drive me a little nuts for the next month

Excited to see the pet from @Celozon, always love the pixel vibe they have going with their staff pets c:

lol i adopted like 12 hours late, because i forgot. so annoying to wait for growths when you adopted late. but 'tis my fault. xD

Ok, this style immediately rings a bell
...Hellevi?

i'm definitely getting hellevi vibes from this cutie 👀 not 100% sure tho

so excited to see more of the pups grow up, the ones we're already seeing are so cute <3

For any staff who wants to answer any of these:

1. Does your pup use all the colors in the palette?
2. Is your pup diurnal or nocturnal?
3. Does your pup prefer hot weather or cool weather?
4. Would your pup prefer the beach or the mountains?
5. Does your pup like sweets or savory foods?

I love the pups that already grew and can’t wait to see the others!

1. Yes!
2. Crepuscular
3. I'd say warmer weather
4. Mountains for sure!
5. Hmmm, a mix of both but separate, like chocolate with popcorn but not chocolate-covered popcorn, if you get me
