Staff Litter Discussion Thread 2017

[Silver Tiger~]

Also to any staff who would like to give a hint?
Does the adult stage of your dog have drastic changes compared to the pup stage? For example, this pup to this dog? Or will the outcome be very similar to the pup, just bigger and a few more markings/details?

Hahahahahahahaha you have NO idea.

Well it *is* you, Lilian. If your final dog doesn't have loads of edits I will be shocked.

In a similar vein, I'd be willing to bet your puppy is a very plain and unassuming child, to throw us off the scent. That's what I'd do if I were you. I have no guesses, just throwing that out there for the people who are working to figure it all out.

You'd be surprised.
I have a different strategy in mind to throw people off, though, and that's going to be fun to watch.

Did you copy someone else's style?? A lot?

[bookshelf]

Maybe the crumb is the Stealth clue?
We never went anywhere with it, maybe we gotta look deeper into that.

Gosh I've been sitting here trying to figure it out.
I transferred the letters in STEALTH into numbers to get 19205112208. then I transferred the single digits back into letters (excluding zeroes) to get AIBEAABBH. tried to rearrange letters to make something but all I can think of is "HI BABE BAA" :')
ah well, so much for that theory. Now I have to try something else.

Tsk, you guys will only realize what I've been doing once it's too late. Then I shall sit back and enjoy the chaos.

[Aaron✦]

I'll give you a nice, vague direction. c:

Thrice, I have told you to look harder. And yet, you have only a crumb to show for it. One of many crumbs to eventually lead you all to - somewhere. I am not omniscient, after all, and who is to say that you will take the incorrect path? Not all roads lead to the same destination. ^^;

It would be wise to see what information you have so far accumulated, and try to find the one crumb.

hmm
Crumbs
Breadcrumbs
bread

Nice spotting! I had a look through her pet groups and couldn't find anything related to bread or crumbs; mind you, I don't have time to look through them all so if there's anything hidden in a group I will probably have missed it ^^
Bentley is an oekaki moderator, right? Maybe there's something on those forums that could have a hint for us?

his* (;
For the stealth hint, I have one idea: Bentlet kept talking about looking closer and beyond what you can see so I had another look at his character thread. There's one post that has been edited recently and it's this one edited on the 4th. Obviously I don't know what was edited, but on this post are listed tracker dogs, a species that has no eyes and are frequently referred to as being stealthy. That's the only fresh idea I have.

The information we so far: stealth. Not creep(ing bumblebee), more actually the word stealth. In his original post he said "as you start frisking posts and accounts" so I'm guessing it's somewhere there. The zodiac idea "is a sharp one. You guys may be onto something? Or... not, haha."
Our two other big conjectures so far were the Egpytian resurrection/zodiac thing and the other idea that I can't find the post for right now that "looking beyond what you see" was referring to the blue-range colourblindness.
I think the idea about the PPS lion got debunked?

[Raire]

Has anyone noticed that Raire's bunny Mucki lost the poppies/flowers surrounding him?
wut r u doing raire

Preparing.
I enjoyed the dressed up version for a few weeks and I want to keep him as he was drawn until he grows up. Has nothing to do with the staff litter. ^^

@Bookshelf
Both actually! :3
I won't say more until you try to match my hints though.

@bricakes
Everything grows at least once... ? XD
I mean newborn > pup and also my custom is "still growing".

Imagine this is the ultimate troll, and there is actually no hint anywhere.
I would be getting my pitchfork out.

Same.
Jk, I wouldn't do that.

[Jayfrost]

I've also got a jayfrost theory in the works so @jayfrost, would you say your hint is related to Samwise in any way?

are we referring to my hints or my outcome?
he almost shares a trait with samwise, but not quite C:

I was referring to hints but that's interesting enough (; here's my theory!!
So we've all been thinking this is probably Lacuna's pup, yeah?

"I hid the sun" could very much refer to the moon hiding the sun in the eclipse and that makes total sense, but here's something else to think about:

Take a look at the eyes of Lacuna's previous middle stage dogs. Compare that to the "regular lineart" for the eyes:

So you can see that Lacuna does a single pixel for light, which would match up with the moon pup, if only for one thing: if you look really closely, the moon pup has the lighting over the pupil itself, whereas Lacuna's pups have the lighting over to the side. There are a couple of artists who use the same dot method for lighting, but there's one more recent person that does:
(and moreso obvious in the adults:
And to match it up with previous hints, there is one pet of jayfrost's that you could almost say was.. soaring

and good old Samwise has some lovely sparkles behind him that remind me of one of our pups so far!!

an intriguing theory you have there C; as for your original question, it wasn't intended to be related ^^
