[This is not requesting a new lineart. Just a small edit to the tail on either bunny or hamster, if that is okay. Like storepets.]
Hello! I wanted to suggest a new storepet set.
Chinchillas!
Why chinchillas:
Well, whenever I looked at the 2015 storepet section by Berkshire which included: raccoon, red panda, lemur, and skunk,
I was always thinking- why not chinchillas!
The two pre-existing linearts that could be used is:
Rabbit ^ sort of like they were above, but not too similar (otherwise it is less special), or something better-
Hamsters!
Chinchillas are the size of rabbits- but there's already a lineart (the storepets) that had been used. Making a chinchilla out of a rabbit would look too similar (in my opinion) to the 2015 storepets.
However, when I first saw this pet:
I thought: Chinchilla!
Then I thought again,
why would CS release a black chinchilla (not the standard color), as well as littermates with wings and such that didn't look like chinchillas.
Lacuna said that pet above was a black cat hamster- makes sense! Halloween... black cats...
Anyways! I was thinking...
If there were to be storepet chinchillas, there could be four colors:
White / Heterozygous Beige / Violet... these two are rather common to find in households.
Black / Velvet ... black is 100% black while velvet has a white underbelly
Standard Gray ... this is a must-have, as gray is the standard color.
Mosaic ... this is an interesting one. They basically have little black/gray spots on a white base.
And if you were to buy the set of 4, you could get an extra one. I think they've done this in the past, like with the Gryphons, I think you had to buy all 4 to get the PPS.
So, if you were to buy the set of 4, you could get a special one...
Curly hair/Angora
These types of chinchillas are more expensive and generally not commonly found, but it would be quite interesting to see a spinoff of the four regular types.
Curly haired chinchillas have curly hair (still very soft)
Angora chinchillas have longer hair. VERY fluffy and very cute. I am not sure how this could be implemented into the base of a hamster/rabbit, but I'm not the artist.
Anyways, the 5th one is totally optional (obviously).
This whole thing is optional! I just think it would be a very fun addition, sort of like the corgis! everyone loves the corgis, and a lot of people want chinchillas (but can't afford them).
I've studied chinchillas for 2-3 years, so I guess the only downside to this that I can see is if a bunch of younger people saw a CS pet, chinchilla, googled it, got the wrong information, bought one, and then it ended up in an un-properly-educated home.
They are exotic pets, so they are fairly difficult/expensive to take care of and extremely fragile.
