Staff Litter 2023 Discussion Thread

[Tenebria]

My pup would probably feel more at home in a time way before the 90’s. Or maybe in a time way beyond.

My pup has edits in both stages, though the adult stage is very heavily edited compared to the pup stage. More than I’ve done in previous years.

I think she would be friends with Solloby’s dog ^^

XEM LIVES!!!! Ok, so yours is the thunder pup then, right?

i decided to try to figure out FleshCanvas' hints... specially the ones in their "About the Staff" page.....

-snip-

maybe it has to do with the pup's name? maybe it's named Zeni?

WOAH That's some impressive work!!!! like wow! Awesome! So Zeni is it?

nope, i'm absolutely wrong, they already said the pup is named Europa! I'm still very confused by how clearly the hint pointed to this zeni blog though??? :0
i thought it'd hint to the "recent events" they said their pup is based on but i'm stumped.
oh, they said the pup is "based on names"... maybe color names then??

[FleshCanvas]

i decided to try to figure out FleshCanvas' hints... specially the ones in their "About the Staff" page.....
"March 2022 🌱🍃🌱🍃
July 2022 ⭐💧⭐💧
September 2022 🫐💛🫐💛
January 2023 👁🟠👁🟠"

looks like they've added 2 more and i've found this site.... that have "colors of the month", for a beauty brand called Zeni. But this specific site only has the colors up until october 2022, so i dunno where they got the january 2023 color... but they match... very welll....
"March 2022 Color of the Month is Fragile Sprout"
"July 2022's Color of the Month is Cascade"
"September 2022 Color of the Month is Blueberry"

maybe it has to do with the pup's name? maybe it's named Zeni?

EDIT: I am guessing this might be fleshcanvas, because of this hint: "No magic involved, all natural although physically..." which means it's not physically "natural" as a cyborg it could have different parts that see things differently....and it looks like it could spend long periods of time diving.

Uh super scary coincidence there thats so crazy 👀👀👀👀👀 the colours DO match perfectly but I had no idea about this site/it wasn't based off this 😅😅

it looks like whatever inspired your pup also inspired this beauty brand!! rofl this just makes me even more curious about what it could be! dang it!

[Schuyler]

Well I'm super late getting here, but I'm up for a question or two if anyone's got any.

[catmother456]

This is not a question but a guess. I posted this earlier but figured I’d repost again.

There are two grown pups that have not been claimed yet - these two cuties



I was thinking they belong to Schuyler (left) and AquilaFuga (Right) and discussing it with fluffystar. I was going back and forth with these two pups and artists, because both create pups that start with smaller details that grow to a more elaborate design. The one on the right started with no details and grew into this design. Fluffystar pointed out that Schuyler uses curly tail pups and AquilaFuga doesn’t. So these are my guesses.

Even if I am wrong, I just want to say both these are so lovely and I look forward to seeing who made them.

[GreatWhiteDragon_1]

i'm also thinking...... maybe raire's doesn't have any bunny friends this year because it IS the bunny??? like... the bunny on the moon, maybe? maybe it is cousin's with koikee's pup?


and maybe aaron's cousin is codex's pup.....?

Pup with the stars is already claimed.

[Spaceinmyhead]

I think Spaceinmyhead’s dog is based off of the Bromelia





I love your dog so much @spaceinmyhead ❤️

She sure is! Specifically, this bromeliad I saw in a conservatory a few months back:

When I saw the colors for this year I knew I had to do some type of flower/plant! I was actually going to have some pink and yellow hibiscus' on her as well, but the lines on that version were so scuffed that I wound up totally restarting haha. I had a ton of fun making her, even though it took me quite literally 50 tries to get it right. Thank you so much to the rest of the staff for putting up with my constant questions and edits hahaha. I'm glad y'all enjoy her as much as I do!
