Ask the Staff!

[Birdy]

On the topic of staff pets...feel free not to answer if you feel like it'll give your pet away, but I have a question for you:

What typically inspires your staff pet? (nature/character(s)/song(s)/movie(s)/feeling(s)/random/etc.)

This can also be applied to regular artists and their month-to-month litters c:

Basically, I sit down and play around randomly with the palette until either I get an idea or something just happens. Not the most exciting explanation, I know ...

To: anybody,

What country do you live in and do you know how to speak it's second official language?

I live in the USA, which technically doesn't have a first official language, let alone a second. :P But the second most-spoken language here is Spanish, and I barely know a word of it. We all have to "learn" it in elementary school ("learn" in quotation marks because at least at my school, nobody took the lessons seriously, not even really the teachers themselves,) but pretty much all I remember are colors and numbers, along with the odd word here and there.

To Anyone,

Ever had a favorite rock band?

(I just love Guns n' Roses, I just recently went to the concert in Orlando. People were asking me why and how I was there, They were saying I'm too young to know who they are..)

Well, my very first favorite band was the Beatles. My mom has always been a huge fan, so I grew up surrounded by their music. Later on, I became obsessed with Three Days Grace, but over time I grew out of them and now I don't really have a favorite band/singer. If I had to pick one, though, I might say Avenged Sevenfold or Sixx:A.M. I got into a number of different bands back around the time I started liking 3DG, but those are the two that I have never once lost interest in and still can't get enough of even today.

What's the best Wonder Trade you've ever gotten? My best was a level 100 shiny Garchomp.

I've gotten a couple shinies and legends, but my personal favorite was an HA Chimchar that knew Fire Punch and Thunder Punch. :)

To anyone:

Did you have any special toy/plushie/whatever in your childhood, or even now? What does it look like, if yes?

This is Wolfie. (I know, creative name ... I was a kid, okay? :P) I got him from my neighbor for Christmas many years ago and he's been on my bed ever since. <3 I also take him along on vacation and everything.

Quick story: Wolfie had a bit of an adventure a couple years ago when we accidentally left him in a hotel room! Somehow we didn't notice he was missing until we got home, but by a wonderful stroke of luck, we had been visiting my brother at his university, which meant it was a hotel we would be able to come back to during our next visit. So we called the hotel and the staff were nice enough to find Wolfie in the room and hold him for us for months until we had a chance to come back and claim him. ^^



Then there's Genevieve, who was another favorite Christmas present, this time from way back when I was only a year old. We have a home video from that Christmas, so while I'm not sure which year I got Wolfie (definitely much later), I can verify this one for sure! Gen is still around and chillin' out on my bed, too. :)




There are (many) others, too, but these two are probably the most loved/sentimental of the bunch!

Because its a special day for me in CS server time, I need to ask:
What is your birth date and what Zodiac star sign does it make you?

Thank you for answering in advanced and have a super day!

November 11th for me! So that means I'm a Scorpio.

To anyone;

Were you ever nervous about doing something wrong when you first joined the staff?

I would never be able to be a mod i'd be terrified of doing something wrong lmao

Yes! When I first started, I remember having so many "Ack, what do I do now?!?" moments and being super anxious about messing something up, even when what I was doing was ridiculously simple. xP I still get that feeling from time to time when something new pops up, but I've definitely gained confidence with experience.

Dear Schuyler
Have you, by any chance, heard of the band Set It Off?

Whoops, didn't see your question before! No, I don't think I've heard of them. Any particular reason for asking? :)

[Turukmakto]

1) Where does the insperation for the dragons, spiders and scorpions come from I ask because my wife adores them in fact she hoards these 3 in particular

2) where did you get the idea for http://static.chickensmoothie.com/pic.p ... &bg=d1ff78

She thinks the artest of the pets with those makings is a whovian but I don't can you please help us solve the playful debate thanks

To anyone,

why on the trading rules thing there isn't an option to do color, size, bold things like that and you have to do it manually?

Well I've only released one staff pet so far sooooo...
But I've got the other one done and I realize that I look at the pallete, think about it for a while, then get an idea for what would look good based on the colors. Both times, I get about half-way through the drawing when I realize that it actually has a deep meaning to what went on in my life throughout that year. I finish the pet with that theme in mind, surprising myself in the process!

When i was 6 I got a stuffed unicorn I named Cookie! She has platinum-brown fur, white mane, and mint hooves/horn. By now, she's so worn out that her head flops over. Such is love.
I stopped sleeping with her three years ago when I got my dog, Shamu!

To: Anybody,

Have you ever stepped on a Lego?

Yes, long story short it was not pleasant. :c

To anyone:

I have Jingles! I got her when I was younger, however I got her kind of late as a kid so technically my childhood toy is a bear called Peter. x'D Jingles has been with me the whole time though! She's a stuffed cat in a baby pink onesie and has a bell in her head. She's very snuggly, and I even have a larger version of her as well! She even came with me to college, I still love her lots. <3

I don't WT often (Except to sometimes trade off leftover IV breedings), the best I've gotten was a Sun pattern Vivillion with Pokerus. 8'D I wouldn't always trust the WT, especially since they could be scanned with a QR code and traded or cloned (Which I'm very against).

To anyone:



Have you ever woken up early just to play a video game/go online?

All the time. x'D

To: Anyone

Favourite breed of cat?

It used to be the Persian, but I'm starting to like the Colorpoint Shorthair more (Since I have a Lynx Colorpoint Shorthair myself!)

Haha nice try, I know you're just trying to secretly sneak a hint... maybe...
My designs are usually a go with the flow kind of thing, whatever I think works best and like, I'll listen to BG music but it doesn't really affect it.

For litters I'll start with an idea and take it from there, sometimes I'll even take an object I have near me and use something from it.

Not me, I'm weak. 8D
