November Discussion Thread V.2

[Faybell]

I like it overall. It's so cute and fluffy. I do wish the spots on the back was a little lighter but I like the desgin and the edits are just lovely.


A very cool looking dog. To be honest I didn't even know the thing on it's chin was a beard till someone mentioned it. I like both the design and edits.


I don't know why but it reminds me of something on star wars... not sure what since I never really watched it. I think the edits is well done though it's not really my cup of tea. I love the design used on it. One of my favorite designs.


I adore the tail and the design. Makes me think ballerina.


I love the edits and design even though it's not my favorite of the staffs. I think the Clowesia did a amazing job.


Possibly the most interesting to me. It's simple yet the fact that the design goes off the dog makes it very different from all the other staffs somehow. Way to think out of the box or dog in this case Drizzle!


Simple and cute. One of my favorite things on a pet.


So much love for this pup. He is cool and I love how his opacity is low and makes him blend in with the background.


That tail is simply adorable! I love the wings/the atenae/the everything! My only complaint is the wristband. I feel as if it was not needed.


I know the perfect word to describe this dog, "Amazing". The edits and design are cool. The mist was a very nice touch.


Simple yet cute. It sort of reminds me of the sunback.


Possibly my favorite of all the staffs. I love how the edits are different but not so busy that it takes away from the design.


The tuffed ears are the cutest thing ever and the design is simple and adorable.


The edits are very well done. I love the design though I wish the spots didn't stand out so much.


Very lovely design and edits. Moonlilly did a amazing job.


The edits are so good that I was speechless. It's face kind of creeps me out because it reminds me of furby for some reason but it's a good kind of creeped out. :3


One of my top favorites. I love everything about it though I do wish the eyes were the same color.


I adore that crown. Definitely one of my top favorties.


Bugs creep me out but it's still one of my top favorites. The edits and design are very very well done. The faded moths/butterflys in the background make it seem mystical.


It's a roley poley, cute, fantastical, chubby wubby puppy! Can you tell it's one of my favorites? I adore that she kept the design simple .


Vampy never fails to disappoint. The edits and simple design are devine. The eyes creep me out but I think it's very well done.


A creeptastic dog. I like how the edit and design were kept simple and not busy.


Tied for my favorite. I love the antlers and design. I do wish it didn't have wings AND a balloon though. It makes it look like random stuff was just thrown on it.

Edit: Oh sorry, I forgot to include this.

Overall I love this staff litter. I think the staff did superb this year. I love how almost every staff pup was edited. It's definitely my favorite staff litter so far. Thank you to all the staff for creating these lovelies. Even if your staff wasn't my favorite I think they are all very well done. <3

Oh gosh. This pet is way more then I expected. I love it <3 The wings are lovely, the line edits are perfect, and the beak is amazing <3


Hyenas are one of my favorite animal, so I of course love this guy. The neck bothers me a bit, but it didn't stop me from hoarding him xD The markings are gorgeous!


I /love/ the tail My fave tail on ChickenSmoothie for sure! The markings are well placed, and I love the ear <3


This guy is one of my personal favorites, though I chose not to hoard him. The beard is too cute <3 I love the glasses, the look like mine xD


Those eyes They blew me away! Total Husky eyes, just like my Bo Baby.. Absolutely gorgeous markings too!!


I knew I'd love this outcome before she even grew. The edits are spectacular! She has a gracefulness about her, and those wings really complete her.


Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks of Aang the airbender when I see this pet? I love the ragged clothes, and the lineart edits are simple, but very nice. I love the tail, too. Very cute ^_^


Totally caught me by surprise! Gosh, I love this guy. Though, I have to say... The horns kinda throw me off a bit. It looks like they are coming through another set of face-fins. Other then that, the markings are simple but complete him. I love the 'Mary Jane' shoe markings <3


Simplicity does normally win me over <3 I love how the middle tail's markings are different then the other two tails. So cute! I want to hug her ^_^


These lineart edits make me want to drool... I love her! The hair is well drawn, and the color goes very nicely with the markings. The tail is probably my favorite part, and the paws are perfect! The details on the wings are simply /gorgeous/.


I have to be honest, I didn't /love/ her at first. She's growing on me, but now I don't know how to dress her up without covering up her gorgeous... wings? I don't know what that is xD Beautiful markings, though. Makes me think 'butterfly'


I think of Legolas when I see this guy <3 I love his clothes! They are precious! I do wish I could see his markings a little more, though.


Dflbfmewrtluy oh my goodness! It looks like my husky stuffed animal, only cuter .3. I love the markings, they look like scales, or bubbles.


I would have loved this girl/guy more if it had only one set of wings. I've never been a fan of four-winged creatures, but that's my personal opinion. The hair is beautiful, and the eyes seem to draw you in... I love the edited tail, too!


The tail is so fluffy! I love it! The markings are simple, but it fits this dog very nicely. The 'Wisp' completes the whole thing, the dog would have been too simple without it.


I love how this one makes me think 'winter' right away. The scarf is so cute - I hope it appears in the store some day <3 It's face is so innocent, I love it <3


I personally love this one. She looks like a Cocker Spaniel! The flowers had a lot of time put into them, and you can totally tell that she was carefully made. The lineart edits are really cute, and the tail looks realistic :3


Okay, I admit it. She startled me. I had to cover up her mouth, but that doesn't mean I don't like her. The wings are divine, and with a mask on her she looks royal <3


Davey Jones anyone? The artist put a lot of effort into him, and it shows! He is a bit difficult to dress up, but I wouldn't want to cover up any of his tentacles anyway! His markings make my think of a Chinese Dragon.


I knew this outcome wouldn't let me down! She's absolutely gorgeous, as is her spirit pet. I didn't expect the spirit to be anything more then it was as a child, but I absolutely love the idea of... whatever it is


This one reminds me of me. Wacky socks, simple but unforgettable, very different from others. I love it <3 The ear is totally the topping on the cupcake!


Cute little chubby guy <3 His lineart edits made me 'squee' when I saw him! A total roley-poley puppy <3 "I'm not chubby, just a little husky.."


I can't wait for mine to grow! I knew she wasn't a Jack-a-lope, or a deer but I wasn't expecting this! Absolutely gorgeous, the antlers, the wings, everything! Though, I think the balloon may be a little over the top, but it looks fantastic just the same <3

I hope I didn't forget any pets...

Wow... People complain if a pet has too many edits, but also complain when a pet doesn't have enough. *facepalm*


I love this dog. So much. It's so cute! I love the eyes, the antlers, the wings, the "balloon" (I see it more as a pet butterfly on a string lol). Super cute, and very well done, IMO.

The staff that has my favorite eyes, IMO, is him:

His eyes are amazing! <3

so,was to night's staff pup growth the last?

[Fiery Gatoh]

so,was to night's staff pup growth the last?

Yep, that's it for 2012 ^_^

[~Aragorn~]

Ok, so I'm gonna do a review thingy like people were talking about earlier. Just coz it sounds fun

Let's start with my favourites...


When this one first grew I kinda overlooked it, then at some point I came back to it and was like WOW. I love it so much now, the little feather thing and the scarf just work perfectly with his expression. I would almost pair him with Tikiieras pup, the two of them wanderers together. LOVE IT.


Ahhh, the prettyness. When it first came out it shocked me. A lot. As a pup I wasn't wowed by it, though I thought it was pretty, but coming back to this was amazing. For me I love the shading or whatever it is on the nose. I don't know what it is about it that I love so much, but it just seems to give it that little bit extra. The patterns are amazing, and I love how the blue is incorporated into them. All around amazing.


At one stage I thought that nothing would be able to beat this one. I love the wings, but the antennae and the headpiece kind of don't work as well for me as they could've. I still LOVE it though, just those two up there ^ edge it out a tiny bit. The tail is another highlight. AMAZING


I love the drama and the detail about this one. I know some people have said it should be happier, but I like it just as it is. Myself the only thing that reserves me slightly is the eyes. This is probably a controversial point, but I think they would've looked nice being normal instead of blank. Just my opinion though, no need to start a war over it. I actually think of this guy as male. Maybe a traumatized ninja or something. Haha, well I love it.

Alright, now onto the others.


Sorry mine hasn't grown yet, but you all know what I mean. I'm not a huge fan of this one to be honest. I feel that it should have stayed more like the pup, simpler. There's a bit too much going on. Not a huge fan of the antlers or the mismatched eyes. Love the wings and the patterning though. Just a bit too many addons for me.


Erm... well this one is kind of so so to me. I don't like the mohawk particularly, and something about the wings looks off. However the tail is AMAZING. I love things like this, big and sweeping. Only complaint I have about it is that I reckon it should have been a different colour, but that's a minor point. Pretty good overall.


I preferred this one as a pup to be honest. The hat seems a bit out of place, because to me it looks feminine whereas the rest of the dog is decidedly masculine. The wings in themselves are spectacular, but they don't seem to flow on very well from the rest of the dog. Maybe if there was a bit of patterning in the same colour on the back or something. Love the wisp thing, the claws and the expression though. again not a fan of the tail, but there are definitely good points to this one.


A little disappointed if I may be honest with this one. Sorry, I LOVED the pup version, it was so cute and amazing with its expression and its bob tail and the little stubby wings. Aww, I miss him. The horns and wing things just seem a bit munted on this one. Other than that I love the patterning with the dark bits and the lighting and I love the tail. Don't get me wrong, I'm only disappointed because I LOVED the pup, and this has only turned out average really for me.


Gosh, I'm ending up sounding really critical here. Well I'm not a huge fan of the glasses and the goatee, but otherwise the patterning is nice. Kinda a bit meh to me. Nothing really to pump my opinion of it up or down.


Haha, you can probably see that I'm not a huge fan of the face. I had to cover it up though, because the rest of it is so pretty. Love the wings, love the ear things and love the fluff on the chest. I know the face is just being 'realistic' and I wouldn't really have it changed, I just like to cover it up.


Now we're getting somewhere. The detail on this one and the elegance of it is amazing. Something about the cape doesn't seem right, or maybe its the ears. I don't know really but if whatever it was had been slightly different this one would've been right up there with my favourites. I think it is the ears actually. Overall though amazing, detailed and very pretty, or should I say handsome.


This one is a bit like hekomis for me. Simple, without too much to sway me either way. However, I would say that I do like the white on the chest and three tails is always a plus. I don't love it, but it's still pretty nice and simple.


Aahh Moonflight. As usual the ears are adorable, and the eyes are adorable. Love the streaks on her face and of course the swirls. Its patterning is amazing, and I have nothing bad to say about it. I guess it's just not different enough to make my favorites, but it is amazingly awesome and I love it.


To start with I was a bit weirded out by this one, but actually it's grown on me and I like it a lot now. Unlike some people I love the bright eyes, and the line edits are so well done. Unlike some of them they don't detract from the pet because they flow on from it so well. Love the expression, love the patterning, in fact there's nothing bad I can say about it. It was THIS CLOSE to being in my favourites. In fact it might end up there at the rate its going.


I'm sure this is just me, but not a huge fan of this one. I guess the cute chubby thing doesn't really work for me. His eyes are cute, but yeah, just not a big fan of it overall.


This one also comes under the category of kind of in the middle. There's no way I could hate it, I mean the little dots on her back are so pretty, and the little cuffs make me think princess straight away. Unlike most people I'm not a huge fan of the moon, but the star is nice. The eyes don't do much for me, not too keen on the purple really. Tis nice though, but unfortunately doesn't go past nice for me.


Haven't been too big a fan of this since it first grew. The beak just doesn't do it for me. It was better as a pup, but for me the feet seem too big, the beak too delicate and the tail just munted. Like the wings though, good flow from the rest of it and amazing patterning and colouring. Don't really like it overall. Sorry, but I'm being honest.


Something about the extra fluff just seems weird on this one. I like the spots on the back, although the ones on the legs are a bit so so. I still can't get past that fluff though. I don't know what it is, but it just makes me not like this one a whole lot.


Now this is one of the few pets that I actually like the mismatched eyes on. It just seems to fit with the circles somehow, and actually contributes to the design. The circles are perfectly placed, and the folded ear and the bob tail just add to its cuteness. If it just had a tiny something to give it the x-factor it would have gone straight into my top four. As it is I like it a lot, just not enough for it to be right at the top.


A similar category to Clowesias pup really. I didn't like it to start, but gradually as people fed me with ideas of a travel stained warrior I've come to love him. I don't see him as a wizard, just a plain, normal person who has no choice but to stay on the move. I'd love to write a story based on this one and Kaycees and perhaps Vampirics too. he has personality and character, but I think deep down I'm still a little put off by the no fur. Sorry, I'm working on rooting out that part of me XD I WANT TO LOVE HIM.


Erm... cute, but a bit wacky. That's my opinion on this guy. He reminds me almost of a mischevious little boy just after he's done something naughty, sitting there giving you an innocent look. Something about the neck and shoulders doesn't seem right to me, and not too big a fan of the spots, but other than that I like it


Ok, the one, or maybe two negative things to this dog in my opinion are the nose and eyes. They just seem out of plact with the lightness everywhere else. Other than that though I love the tail (so fluffeh) and the smokeyness around her is pretty too. I like how the ears are flopped rather than normal, it just adds more personality to this fairly simple girl. Pretty good overall


Last one. Unlike most people I'm not a huge fan of this one. Seems just a bit too flowery, and the tail seems a bit munted to me. Also the ears are funny. Overall not a huge fan. But don't listen to me, the detailing is amazing, just not my cup of tea.

so,was to night's staff pup growth the last?

Yep, that's it for 2012 ^_^

lol There's still December in 2012. Unless you meant the staff pets of 2012, in which case yes it was the last one. X)

[Velveteen Hound.]

I think this would have been my favorite outcome (might still be), but it feels a little unbalanced. The antlers, long ears, feathers, wings, and ties are all in the same area, which makes him seem pretty top-heavy, especially with the smallish tails. (I think it would have been perfect minus the wings and ties, as nice as they are.) Otherwise, I think it is beautifully designed and I'm a sucker for adopts with antlers <3

I have to agree. I LOVE the antlers, but there is to much going on here for me to love the whole out come. While a lot of the stuff is tactful .. there is still to much. The wings I could do with out, as well as the extra tail.

Haha, yeah I meant the staff litter There's no way I'd forget about the Advent Calender!

[Fenric]

These were my favorite staff dogs this year!
All of the staff dogs were great, but some of these just run away with my heart.


It was killing me to wait for this one to grow! Was not disappointed! Nice heterochromia on this one.


I literally gasped when I first caught sight of this one. Absolutely stunning line art edits!


Extremely beautiful! The coat she's wearing and the eyes are the best parts, imo!


This one is so adorable I couldn't help but start a hoard!


Beautiful, simple, and lovely.


This one definitely reminds me of a snow leopard!


Also:

This rat is definitely one of my favorites. Very appealing design, cold and icy looking.


Wow, love this 2nd gen! I knew this one was going to be favorite out of the bunch, even as it was a newborn. Reminds me of chocolate syrup and vanilla ice cream. I honestly wasn't much of a fan of the other 2nd gens.


You KNOW it's going to be a good month, when you adopt your ponies and get this one at the start. Too adorable for me to handle.


Started a hoard of these. Very pretty!


I cannot explain to you how much I love this cat. So. Much. Amazing.
