Pet's name: Starburst

Little doggy, Your too old to hide under a blanket! So get out please..

Seems we've gotten stuck on the "Thriller" clue. You will find the next part of the puzzle by looking into the distant past. Don't think too abstractly with it -- what kind of direct meaning could "the distant past" have in relation to this thread? That is what my history comments are directing you towards, not anything on my pup itself. Look into my past and you will see a clear link to the word "Thriller." Once you find that, you will be getting close to the end of the quest, promise!



Lilian's pup is absolutely gorgeous, isn't it? ^^

This is probably way off but,



Could it have to do with the phoenix that was mentioned earlier in the thread?

"About time, too. He's been looking dreadful for days; I've been telling him to get a move on."

^Where the Harry Potter would come in

—Albus Dumbledore about his phoenix Fawkes after Fawkes burst into flames.



Maybe this guy? There are feathers maybe to indicate a dead phoenix and this is the new one being re-born

Idk, just a thought!

Which of todays do we think belongs to PitchBlack? They gave a clue saying that theirs hadn't grown by day 8 (yesterday) so it has to be from today... Just making sure no one forgets this!

@Birchii and Simon

Good ideas, but unfortunately you are both off. There is something in the most distant past of my activity on this thread that as soon as you spot it, you will know the relevance of the "Thriller" clue and can go on from there. ^^

Lillians pup with the suspiciously long blanket looks like its concealing a centaur body! (Dog head & arms with horse body) Maybe Lilian dislikes it as it was too big of a challenging concept to nail properly? Still, she needs to remember something important. An artist is one who draws for others. Not ones self. If we all love it, you still succeeded as an artist. And that is still an accomplishment you should care most about.

...Unless you were drawing just for you. In that case feel free to headdesk.

Aha found it!

OOh, this narrows it down a lot! I'll look into it later if no one else does. I'm doing homework right now though so I can't check.

What were the pups that grew today? i went out and didnt keep up with the thread c:

You can check the outcomes thread for that

I wanna say this pup

but a lot of users are thinking it's Bernouli's, which is also a plausible theory. But PitchBlack
seems like they stick to plain and simple lineart edits. And this one seemed the most simple
unless they completely went out of their box with the "unfinished pup".

Aha found it!

Seriously? -_-

This is essentially that that link leads to:

And the winner is ... ErinS9715 with the name "Orifiel"!
I'm actually not planning to use that name specifically, but you gave me the inspiration to look through some angel names for ideas, and I found that "Ariel" is the Angel of Nature, which I think would fit this character perfectly. (With the slight spelling variation of "Ariael" so people are hopefully a little less likely to immediately think of Little Mermaid. )

I have not developed a personality for the character yet, so you can just base the names off of her appearance, my interests, or whatever you think sounds cool. Some things I like are ...

- Elemental themes
- Nature
- Foreign (non-English) words
- Bird themes
- Made-up names
- Virtues & noble-sounding names (ex. Faith, Destiny, etc.)
- I do not want any names taken straight out of a fandom; however, if you'd like to possibly draw inspiration from some of the fandoms I'm into, my main ones right now are: Supernatural, Pokemon, My Little Pony, Lord of the Rings
- I do not want any "human" names (ex. John, Anna, Charlie, etc.) unless they are something unusual that you wouldn't normally hear. Traditional foreign (non-English/American) or archaic names can be interesting.
- Names of mythological or religious figures - any culture or religion is welcome
- Most anything unique
- Surprise me!
- The day of Reckoning draws near! Thomas swears to the End of his Days that Aaron will defeat the Leviathan during his quest after he has accepted his destiny to save those Forsaken beings who have Fallen into despair at the coming Armageddon -- an Aerie prophecy indeed.
