March Discussion Thread

@PetCrazy I went on a bit of a stint last night trying to figure it out, and really, I have no clue. Sketchi herself didn't confirm that they were based on different symbols so I don't know that they are - I could only find pearls as a prominent symbol of luck in eastern culture rather than here but I couldn't find any other eastern symbols of luck that made sense, other than like, fish and dragons maybe for the winged one at a stretch... Tl;dr unless we get confirmation I have no idea :'D

It's okay, thank you for looking into it! I'll continue to keep an eye on this thread in case there is conformation.

The yellow flowers could be symbolic of a very important plant in Irish mythology, Ulex europaeus A.K.A Aiteann,Gorse, Furze, Whin etc.

The white and green one could simply be clover, but specifically white clover?

The one that takes characteristics from the other three could be just that, a combination.

These are just theories but they are the best i could come up with.

Did the horses have any paticular inspiration?
Are they in any way related in theme to the sea slug ponies?

Yes actually, it's fairly minor theme and I'm pretty surprised no one guessed it (or even tried). It's bronze, silver, gold like trophies. You can see on the newborn there are three bronze stripes (3rd), two silver (2nd) and one gold (1st) all hinting at the outcomes and how common they would be (more stripes the more common) as well as hinting at hidden outcome with the pink under the jaw. And purple is just a nice color (that's it, nothing special there), the gold was originally going to be a lime green and when hue shifting I found pink looked really nice on it too, which is why there's a pink outcome with the metals. I will often try to leave hints in the newborns about later outcomes (like how the slug pony newborn had yellow hooves and all the adult ponies also have yellow hooves)

The ponies and horses have no relationship to each other.

That is actually pretty cool!

Hey...can I ask about Easter stuff here?
Like...some of the bunnies are using older skins off other pets. Where can I find what years/months those pets are and we'll...what the pets were

The "What was x based on?" link in my sig has them all with their dates! Any discussion about the Easter event goes in this board, and questions should be asked here (:
