December Discussion Thread - RULE UPDATE, PLEASE READ

[MegaCherrio]

Are the pixel dogs supposed to look rough? The lines look rather jaggy to me and some places like the far ear you can see straight lines where there should be a curve. I'm not sure if this is intentional or just from the artist normally doing digital art, not pixel art. Either way I'm curious to see how they turn out.

Intentional, pixel art is pixel art and . . . sometimes that's how it is when it's really small

I noticed this aswell. I think its a cool concept and all tho

Can some one point out what wolf stands for what in AIW?

Ricorn hasn't actually posted saying which is which, but here's the theory I'm going off of:

Jabberwock, Bandersnatch, JubJub Bird

If that first one isn't the Jabberwocky, I may have to call Ricorn a liar lol o.O
Jk
But I don't think that could be anything other than the Jabberwocky

I'm so excited for all of the puppies and kittens to grow!<3

But they're very large for pixel art, and basic pixel art tutorials warn against the use of straight lines and making lines look jaggy. I mean I understand if they didn't want it to look too smooth just to make it obvious they are pixel dogs, but if properly done those errors shouldn't be there.

I'm talking about this kind of stuff

The straight lines, strange bumps/indents, extra pixels sticking out or lines being two pixels wide. I'm not sure if it's just made this way either to make it more recognizable as being pixel and not digital by being less smooth, or because they're pups so they're supposed to look less finished, or if it was just inexperience working with pixel art (I've poked a tiny bit at pixels before and it's harder than it looks to get it to look right. XD)

One of the big things with pixel art is straight lines are something you should try to avoid, and jaggy lines as well. Pixel art tutorials talk about this, so it's not just a characteristic of pixel art.

hmm... since purple toxic is his father, maybe he will be like... purple toxic? ^^

I was about to say, ive seen a lot of very very small pixel art done with clean lines =/

Eeee I LOVE DECEMBER SO FREAKING MUCH!!!
Memories from last year.. *squeal*
This months pets are amazing! Unfortunately I missed two outcomes of the second gen (Toxic x butterfly dog = <3333) :c but apart from that and an overdose of yellow caterpillars... XDDDD
Trading is going to be hard for those second gens though so I'll just have to wait <3
Plus that Cheshire Cat is pure luff!!!!
Oh! I love December so much! The advent calendar is amazing too! Those butterfly dogs are the most beautiful things ever! <33333
