Winter Doni Raffle

I just love the way the ashevor hatchling is a circle, with the tail as an extra curly-q in the middle.

Tetzcotal Eagle Hippogryph. They're one of my favorite hippogryphs on the site, their sprite looks so nice.

Rabbitsunes are fun creatures all around. You get a chance for a transformative cookie when you breed them together, and they come in several different colour varieties, giving you a challenge to collect them all (and to pick your favourite!) For these, I am not as fond of the adult sprite, I think it's their heads, but the hatchlings are incredibly cute! I love their fluffy manes and tails, their ears and heads. The dark ears make them stand out nicely, too.

I absolutely adore giant sylphs, I like chimeric beasts in general, they're always fun, but this was one of the first expensive critters I had and I just love the design. Plus, it's pretty rare for a sprite to convey scale so well, the angle and perspective just tells you it's massive in some way I can't really nail down.

We're nearing the end. I'm gonna have to cut plenty of critters from the list, but ay, more for later

For now I've grabbed the Ashen Shaa, reminds me of another project I really really want to work on but have been unable to because of life. The description says that these creatures are known to be aggressive, perhaps that's a bit how I feel like irl right now (apartment hunt my beloathed) But anyway. I think the colors here fit together really nicely. Once again you've got that stuff that I love, neutral colors with a bit of bright color added in. Also yeah, the unicorn horn thing, and it's a canid creature. Very much a me thing combo

I have had too small of an amount of dragons among my picks, so here is one to alleviate it: the Atrox Dragon. The artwork is top shelf; great pose and colours, the hatchling is very cute too. The wings are the highlight of this creature without a doubt, it really looks like glowing magma. Excellent work! Their lore consists of typical dragon antics, which I welcome wholeheartedly, but they also have a surprising comical side, if accidental, and to the dismay of these proud creatures.

Before this ends I have to pick the Calico Tienko. I have a soft spot for calico cats, they have so much variety in their colors.
For this one, I love their little red paw and the black spot around its eye.

I've left my two very favorites for the end: for the penultimate day, the Kollinus. These guys are actually why I started posting in the forums, because this much adorable fluffiness isn't just going to appear in my keep by itself.

I picked Taiyang for today! They are soooo fluffy, at all stages

[crazyflight]

my favorite of the quetzalcoatls. they're very pearly, like sea shells and clouds, quite delicate. a pale blue that blends between sea and sky.
