Loving these outcomes! I am wondering what species the Lunar New Year Robe is compatible with (other than lion cubs?)

All lions, eastern & western dragons lineart!

I haven't talked to the artist, but I can definitely understand why the dog lineart was chosen this time - the pose is perfect for them. Maybe we do get lions next year though, I'd definitely love to see them with edits!

Love all of the pets and items we got this year, how could I not? :>
My favourite bunnies are these two:

{I didn't even think of that! That would make sense XD I agree with other comments tho, it would be great to have lions edited to sitting like the fu lions. I don't think there's any lions with big lineart edits like that so it would be cool :0c Next year perhaps!}

Yay, stuff for the easterns c:

Sadly they aren't compatible with their last stage, the big one (checked all I have), so they're stuck with the earlier stage's clothes..

or it was planned such?

And a tip, it's better to use with male lions~

Anyway it's an amazing mini event, thank you all :D

🖐 so my 5 buns were based off the some of the traditional and historical activities that take place during chinese new year specifically & the days following

Day 1 (spring festival)
"Normal traditions occurring on the first day involve house gatherings to the families, specifically the elders and families to the oldest and most senior members of their extended families, usually their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, and trading Mandarin oranges as a courtesy to symbolize wealth and good luck"

Day 2 (kāinián)
"The second day also saw giving offering money and sacrifices to God of Wealth (Chinese: Chinese: 财神) to symbolize a rewarding time after hardship in the preceding year."
The tiger design is also based on the god of wealth's tiger

Day 3 (red mouth)
"The third day is known as "red mouth" (赤口; Chìkǒu). Chikou is also called "Chigou's Day" (赤狗日; Chìgǒurì). Chigou, literally "red dog", is an epithet of "the God of Blazing Wrath" (Chinese: 熛怒之神; pinyin: Biāo nù zhī shén). Rural villagers continue the tradition of burning paper offerings over trash fires. It is considered an unlucky day to have guests or go visiting."

Day 4
Now I have conflicting information about day 4 as from my understanding all families celebrate the days slightly differently, but generally there is a day to visit birth parents so that's what this bun was based on
"Traditionally married women will visit and pay respect to their birth parents."

Day 5 (powu)
"This day is the god of Wealth's birthday. In northern China, people eat jiaozi, or dumplings, on the morning of powu (Chinese: 破五; pinyin: pòwǔ)." - "It is also common in China that on the 5th day people will shoot off firecrackers to get Guan Yu's attention, thus ensuring his favor and good fortune for the new year."

Thank you for the explanations! You did an amazing job on these and clearly did a lot of research to best capture the spirit of the holidays ^^
