So I'm a little sad I didn't spot this earlier -

CS Artists never cease to disappoint me XD
Also, if you had the ability to make a UR, what would it be?
(Thanks to all staff for all your hard work!!)
For me personally, I try to come up with ideas that A. Go together well thematically and B. Have enough options to make a litter out of!
I try to draw inspiration from nature, natural patterns, sometimes things more whimsical, generally things that tie to my interests that ensure I stay motivated enough to really make the litter shine!
I want all of the pets I design to be well-rounded and stand out.
As for designing my UR:
Food-based: Wouldn't a cute little takeout box be the sweetest thing?
General pet: I'd love to design a fancy plant-related animal of some sort!
or an eastern dragon, wink wink
I'm surprised about the fact that noone seems to be discussing the first comment or the references to additional hints that may or may not have been discovered. Anyway Wolfbane has been leaving little hearts all over the forums, and I dunno about you but I often associate those hearts with a particular style of leaf. (Interests: PLANTS!)
(I saw the reference to Acte, which is awesome, but not sure if that sweet little dryad ties in directly with the clues, or is just in regard to another topic entirely).
Anyway here's where it gets fun, there's a few dressed-up pets in his groups that have hearts in their names including Sunflower, the white howling store pet wolf/dog which is dressed up (which made me think that the pet represents Virgo with something that could loosely be described as wheat sheaves adorning it), and a domed fishbowl with a halo'd betta (of course made me think of Pisces). I guesss you could argue that Sunflower represents the Leo constellation as well (and this is why all the hints are getting mushed up in my brain) and a third dog with floppy ears like Sunflower that could be pointing towards the pup having floppy ears!
In the meanwhile, while someone was off gathering fresh clues a Pup grew up. And of course as that someones' pets are late growing... we take a short pause to check if this is indeed the drenched pup and the missing link for wolfbanes dog?(Will have to laugh if it is of course - right theories applied to the wrong pup as always
