so, I am absolutely obsessed with the rat litter this month. thank you for the fantastic litter, Celozon!
I love the line edits and as far as the coats go, they resemble my past 4 rats I've had. I am just a little sad that the only color variant that didn't get dumbo ears was the black hooded coat, since one of my boys was also black hooded with dumbo ears. 🥺
still, utterly precious litter and I will definitely be putting aside two pairs in memory of my boys. 💜💜💜

EmberWolf, i absolutely love the cat litter from this month! They reminded me of a trip i took out to Utah during college and it makes me want to go back out west <3 This one might be my favourite one 🥹
did you have any specific inspiration for the kitties?

So glad you liked them! And I can totally see where the National Parks guesses are coming from. Truth is, I couldn't think of anything so I asked a friend to throw out a theme and the first thing she saw was a western print on her wall. I didn't base them off of any exact place in particular but I did think about "iconic" US western landscape sights: the arches, the monuments/mittens, and layers of canyons. Plus cacti! So in a way they are sort of based on the National Parks as that's where most of those iconic sights are located c:

Aaah, I see! They are very beautiful, I love them. They are very reminiscent of my trips out west, you did a fantastic job. I will cherish them.

This is the first time since I joined that I’ve got nothing in my “Growing” folder before the end of the month.

My final thoughts and favorite pets from May!

These guys are super interesting! They remind me so much of last October's litter by Yagmur. I am super excited to see how they turn out!

Pet's name: Smagul
This litter has a really cool concept, and I think seeing a pairing with these and the litter I mention so above would be awesome! I’m lucky enough that they don’t hurt my eyes lol

hellivi back at it with the super cute draft horses! Making me start to appreciate the species a lot more LOL. In their current state, they remind me a bit of the Deer from July 2021. Kinda sad there wasn't a PPS for the baby, but either way, I can't want to see them grow!

Pet's name: Kazbi
I love this litter a lot! The realistic flowers on realistic coats is really pleasing. The flower artwork is phenomenal!

In love with the vibrant colors! Very reminiscent of the early rainbow horse litters.

Pet's name: Marlena
I have no idea what kind of inspiration was behind this litter if any at all, but they are gorgeous! I love celestial patterns and the colors are so vibrant!

I think these guys might be a landscape concept like the Dec Bwolves. I really like the neutrals used here.

Pet's name: Gunhild
These guys turned out beautifully. The Sky artwork contrasts so nicely with the desert scenes.

I saw someone else say this too, but these guys HAVE to be the four seasons, right?? I sure hope so because pets based off the seasons are some of my favorite.

Pet's name: Mohammed
We were correct! These designs are so satisfying to look at and I love the color palettes for each season. This is probably my favorite litter of the month!!!

Looking like the new rat lineart! Very happy with this! They look like they'll be a realistic litter.

Pet's name: Chryses
I’m not into realism that much, but I’m so glad the alternate rat lines were used again! It looks really cute

Talk about a blast from the past, amiright? I'm glad this is making so many people happy!

Pet's name: Yehoyakim
I’m not on the nostalgia hype train because I wasn’t here back in the day nor do I care too much about the older pets, but I’m glad a lot of people found joy. They are super cute too!

It's nearly impossible to tell what snakes will turn out like. Color scheme is giving techno, but thats just a wild guess.

Pet's name: Enide
I wasn’t correct, but the plaid-ish snake still really gives me that techno vibe. I really enjoy this litter and the contrast between each growth.

Yayyy more deer!! My fave species! I also love mushroom patterns so I am HYPED to see the outcomed! The blue guy is also very curious...

Pet's name: Nita
I adore the concept of this litter! It was very well executed and I love the amount of variety we got!

A great month all in all! Thanks again artists for your work!

{ such darling handsome boys, I love them, and I love seeing people talk about their rats because of the litter 😭💖 the dressups for them are so sweet! ♡

[Fleckenpferd]

I hope we get an official list wich deer reprents wich mushroom.
Would like to name them after their german names (if I can find any).

I Compiled some guesses & confirmations

Some of these are a little stylized and mushrooms are hard enough to ID so I'll give a couple hints for these two~


I had to cheat on this one a little and incorporate a key feature in a different way so as not to make it too disturbing~

My immediate first thought when you said it was 'disturbing' along with what little we can see of it is 'bleeding tooth fungus'. If so, I agree it could have been quite disturbing if you drew out the beads of dark red liquid on a white background lmao...

You're on-track with this one being found on trees and logs, but unlike most bracket mushrooms, these do grow on a stipe~


As for the other two:


I think I confirmed back when she grew, that this one is indeed a Magpie Inkcap! One of my favorites!


And this one, as guessed, is a Blue Pinkgill!
When picking out mushrooms for this set, I discovered this one has a pink spore print despite being so blue and that just tickled me so I had to include it, lol

This one gotta be a Yellow Parasol (also known by many other common names), Leucocoprinus birnbaumii. Not one I'm familiar with but it's the first one that shows up when you google "yellow mushroom" and the texture is spot on ^.^
Super cute little shroom that apparently pops up in flower pots indoor and in greenhouses

My guess for the newest mushroom deer is Death Cap, Amanita phalloides.
Could totally be wrong but I hope so! It's one of the most poisonous mushrooms we know of and because it's similar to a lot of edible shrooms, also one of the deadliest shrooms being accidentally eaten fairly frequently.

I think it's pretty safe to say that the red deer from today is based off an amanita muscaria ❤️ one of my favourite mushrooms, and the design for this deer is so lovely!

Gonna guess one of these is a Cultivated Mushroom, Agaricus bisporus. Could as always be wrong, but I just feel like that one has to be included, it's one of the most commonly eaten shrooms after all!
My best guess is the dark brown one, at the Portobello stage.

My guess would be 'Pleurotus djamor' / Pink Oyster for The Last pink deer.

I'm hoping for an official list as well. ^-^

The snakes remind me of the 'Atlantis: The Lost Empire' movie and the Atlantis' technology:



Also, does anybody know the flower species and names of coat colors of the drafts?

Pink Lily-of-the-valley [Palomino Tobiano?] | [???] [Buckskin Roan?]

Lavender Grey | Forget-me-nots [Brown Seal Tobiano?]

Sunflower [Black Tobiano?]
