All together now!
Such a beautiful set, gorgeous work both FleshCanvas and Codex!

I really love all of the zodiac horses. I love the color gradients in them. I think my favorites are Aquarius, Pisces (my own sign!), Scorpio, and Sagittarius

I am curious to still see a growing pony though :O



Ophiuchus?

EDIT: ooh there's other foals still growing too? :O
This is the only color one I still have growing. Seems I got unlucky xD

Yep, all four colours have a still growing variant. Not sure what they'll be yet, but I'm feeling they're definitely going to be PPS regardless

EE these are my favourite horses with the matching item sets


I find that I don't normally like the horse lines but they are so nice to design with! Hopefully everyone liked their sign for the most part

These sets and this entire litter are just absolutely stunning, now comes the heated decision of whether or not I want to make a completely separate group to house all these babies together (which would completely deviate from how I have my current groups set up), or just accept and potentially risk them being separate rarities which would potentially have them all split up - but look at these adorable babies! How could I possibly split them up?



I genuinely love everything about this entire litter’s design - from the constellations on the body, to the colorations corresponding with lots of different space aspects/looks, I love the coloration that was chosen for them (it genuinely is really nice and flows so beautifully that some are very vivid and others are nice mutable tones - especially when corresponded with a lot of the item sets as it really brings out unique aspects of the item sets themselves). I genuinely didn’t know how Pisces was going to turn out because the design seemed so bold, but seeing it combined with fleshcanvas’s choice really pulls out the beauty of both designs!

I genuinely will say one of the absolute *hardest* things I had to contend with when dressing up the horses was that so many of them looked absolutely gorgeous without the helm, that I really had to weigh whether or not I wanted to add the helm; it felt so hard to choose especially because several of the designs give such a different vibe either with or without the helm!

Overall just an absolutely stellar job to both codex and fleshcanvas for both this item set and litter, and also an absolute stellar job to all the other artists this month for their work as well (the zodiacs have kinda dominated the thread, but these other litter designs definitely deserve some love too!!), I’m excited to see how some of our remaining litters turn out - it’s hard to believe we still have so many cute outcomes and possibilities!

While I’m really loving the chameleons and how vivid they are (that pink pps is just absolutely adorable!), I genuinely am so excited for the cat litter! Especially because these little guys absolutely are giving quilt/needlework vibes!:



I’m actually extremely interested to see how their design turns out especially since they seem to be leaning towards the more realistic cat design (with the exception of their patchwork elements), but their patchwork and its coloration/items gives me vibes of an “autumn” quilt - so I’d be really interesting to see how their realistic factor of the design plays into the patchwork aspects.

Not really sure how to feel about discontinued store items being used for dress-up challenge prizes when it has been said over and over that store pets will never be rereleased.. Why the double standard?

Anyway love my zodiac horse, Pisces. Absolutely stunning <3
This is definitely my favorite set of zodiac pets on CS (so far?), the original dogs seem so bland compared to them x3

[Frostseraph]

Missed five of the full grown zodiac horses, oof. Have all the still growing ones though so I'll take it and wl what I need for later. More curious about those anyway.

They're not technically releasing them again. This may be a way to test the waters to see if people are okay with retired C$ stuff being prizes. I'm okay with it and I think store pets could be given out this way.

Honestly agree with this, I bought store items with the expectation they would not be rereleased, same as the store pets aren't. If I had known there would be an avenue in the future to potentially obtain them without spending CS, I would have thought twice about it. Definately reconsidering spending CS for items in the future, if they are going to be released for free later.

On another note, I managed to miss two of the zodiac outcomes so far.. and theres still more growing. Somehow every month theres one litter thats a struggle and it looks like this one is going to be it.

Lol, I've got the opposite problem...Well, I have two still growing green and one blue but am out of red and gray. XD

Really curious to see what they become - hoping for PPS myself but that's just me.

It might just be them testing to see how people respond to it. Personally, I like the idea of older items coming back as a way for newer players to have a chance to get them.

Plus, it's my understanding that there's only one winner per category. And only two or three categories per month.

That's only 2 or 3 new sets of an item being added AND there's no guarantee it's the full set (least I didn't see anything saying it's the full set). Something I don't really see hurting CS in the long run, and may actually help the trade market.

The way I look at spending money on items/pets is that it's more convenience versus grind. I can drop $10 (US) and get the new store pets and some other items now OR I can try to trade pets/items for C$ or for the pets themselves over the time they're around [or after they're gone if I don't get enough in time]

Yeah, it kind of stinks for people who did spend the money thinking it's their only chance, but that's a gamble with anything.
