How many bats are there? I'm tryna collect them all.

I'm not Vampiric but by my count there are 57! ^^

Aye, 57 currently released.

To anyone:
Have you ever put your CS duties on a resume? If so, how did you word it? o:

Yeah, actually. There are a couple people at work I talk to about my work for the site but I think it mostly goes over their heads. I think I did put my involvement on my CV somewhere, probably under hobbies and interests. It's not like a prominent part of the CV but it gives them something more personal to ask you and see what you're passionate about.

to anyone:
have you ever attended any sort of con? like comicon, for example!

I've been to Anthrocon twice, and Eurofurence once. I would like to attend other cons, but it's finding money and time.

Is there a forum page with all of the names of EVERY named animal up to at least early 2017?

to: Nick

Since you did all the coding for the site (which is incredible btw) I was wondering where you learned how to code. Do you major in it? or was it just a fascination? What is your favourite system of coding?

edit:

to all artists:
when you're bored do you ever just play around with different line arts and create pets for fun? (kinda like digital doodling) also can any staff member gain access to the CS line art or do they have to be of a certain level? Lets say you're an okeaki moderator or a role-play monitor can you create pets?

To anyone
You're birthstone? And do you like it?

Diamonds. A little overrated, but it's also the hardest stone, so there's that. ^^;;

Howdy staff and/ or staff could I answer this: do you listen to rock and if u do name some bands!

I'm mainly for classic rock (ACDC, Kansas, etc) and some modern stuff. Linkin Park has been one of my top favorites for years, I'm still not quite over Chester's passing.

To anyone: Favorite CS lineart?
(tbh caterpillars are pretty great ;) )

I love the lions and butterwolves. However, I do enjoy noodling around on the sitting cat lines every now and then.

to: anyone
what languages can you speak? what languages are you learning?

English, naturally. Some Spanish. I'm learning Italian and Irish, and Assassin's Creed: Unity is teaching me very basic French phrases via immersion while I try to complete it.

To anyone:
What things do you consider when making a staff pet? Which stage is the most fun to edit in your opinion? Which staff pet of yours is your favorite? Which staff pet of anyones is your favorite?

I start off pondering my lore and what the palette inspires me to think about. Then I stare at the file and grouse at myself and my computer until something satisfactory falls out of it.
Of mine, I like Lir (my goatfish) the most, because of those fins. Of the others... I have to say, Vampy's four-winged dog from 2012 takes the cake, but only just -- there are so many beautiful and interesting ones!

to anyone:
have you ever attended any sort of con? like comicon, for example!

I've gone to RTX for the past three years.

To Tess:
Could we see some of your modern day art? We've all seen your original linearts, so I'd expect something very appealing!

To; any and all staff :>

How has becoming a part of Chicken Smoothie's staff changed your life?

[Littlekittenz]

To any artist staff:
What would be your top 5 favorite pets you have made so far?
Also,when were you last hiring artists? And do you think you'll be hiring soon? Becoming a guest or permanant artist here is my ultimete dream~ :33

I've seen similar questions asked, but I couldn't find this specific one.

To anyone who has done art for CS:
What art software do you prefer to use to color in the pets/items and what kind of tablet do you have?

I use a very outdated program that's not worth mentioning (buggy, old, crashy), but I also use firealpaca.
I don't use a tablet.

Any pets I make for fun usually end up getting released anyways. :'D

I've learned about keeping my cool while also being friendly to people on here, which is definitely a useful skill. I've also learned a bit more about professionalism, it's certainly made a positive impact on my life!

I use Photoshop for coloring pets/items (I know, shame on me for not being a SAI user). My tablet is pretty old now, it's a Wacom Bamboo Create and my first tablet I ever got! |D
