I'm a little (a lot) late to be posting here, but so many wonderful people got me absolutely wonderful gifts and I never got a chance to get to posting them since I've been spending most of my time making sure all the holiday gift customs made it out. But I'm finally here!
Crow was the first person to drop something on me, with a Phyrette! You can never go wrong giving me a Phyrette. C=
Sarah gifted me this boy, and right now I've got absolutely no ideas for him, but he'll certainly stick around for a while to see if anything comes up!
Mojave dropped some potions on me because mmm. I love me some potions. When I actually get around to breeding at least. XD Some day. Some day.
Nygh. Y'all don't know how much I love the Phantom Fenling. They were a real delight to design. I know their design is probably so simple looking, but I just. Loved the idea of the haunted orbs. And thanks to Thunder I've got one now!
Another Lucain that doesn't much strike me with ideas, but still a great gift! This fellow's from Millie. <3
HNNNNG. For those that don't know, a good while back Crow approached me and admitted she was a bit sad that she sold off Hades to me back when she wasn't really around on Evelon at the time. I understood and said that she could have him back, so long as she didn't mind me designing him a new form, since I did have a character tied to him. She was okay with that, and the owners of the other two original Flame Kuhnas were also okay with it, so I designed his new form. Apparently gold is one of the colors associated with Hades, so I went with a gold feel. But the design sat around for a good while, because I'm terrible about purchasing things for myself. But my bro Kreepy was like, "Nah, it's time. Here's Hades." I could just. Stare at those flames for hours. Hnnng.
Baal was my Staff Secret Santa and dropped both of these babies on me. <3 Some might recognize the design of that Phyrette. It's another form for my incubus character,
Haelas. He can freely shapeshift, so it only makes since to have many forms. Most of which will be breedables, but I'd honestly love to spread him to as many different bases as I possibly can. And Phyrettes are one of the harder ones to obtain, so it made me very happy. <3
Look at that precious face. ;___; One of my favorite Phyrettes by far. I love natural marking pets. They're just so pretty. And it really makes me think of my old ferrets, and I kinda really want Phyrettes of them all now. This one was from Omni!
Turns out my Staff Secret Santa and my actual Secret Santa had similar ideas! This time though, it was Moof, and mmm. She knocked it out of the park, especially with that Nago. He's absolutely delicious, and now I can branch Hale out for more breedings! Maybe this'll mean I'll actually. Breed Sovs lol.
These two were dropped on my by Toxie. The Diosol makes for an absolutely wonderful winter gift with that frosted marking, and the Kuhna is based on Lulu from League of Legends! She was actually the second champ I ever owned in the game, and is still one of my favorites to this very day. I even had a pet snake for a while that was named after the little pixie companion she's got. I think I'm close to having enough League pets for an entire team.
Omni turned around and got me another gift after they watched as I drowned in Kuhna randoms. Its inspiration was my job, which I work at a blood testing facility. Our company tests blood donations for any transmittable diseases before the blood can be used at hospitals around the country. Things like HIV, West Nile, Zika. Though we also test for some not disease things too, like blood type (ABO group, pos neg), cholesterol, and ferritin. Transmittable diseases is the important part. Anyways, I mostly just work at a desk reviewing paperwork and making sure people out in the lab didn't mess anything up (miss the expiration of a reagent for example), but on rare occasions I do have to handle blood. And we've always gotta wear lab coats since our department is still in the lab, just tucked in to a corner of it. But yeah! Omni also remembered I was running the thought of doing a vampire group based on my job, and bam. Bloody little vamp Kuhna. C=
The laaaaaast gift, I just finally got around to finishing today, because Silver was wonderful and had messaged me weeks and weeks ago and told me to make myself a holiday custom Kuhna and she'd pay for it. I kept telling myself that I wasn't allowed to design my custom until I finished every single order I possibly could. Eventually though, I feel upon a random that I hadn't assigned to a user yet, and couldn't bare to give up as a random and instead just saved the flats for myself and told myself once I finished up with the holiday orders I could finish it up.
Technically not all orders have been sent out yet, but they're as complete as I can do for now while I wait for some PMs back. So today I slapped the shading on this baby!
The theme (since themes and palettes make randoms easier) was an abandoned library/library book. Cobwebs, ink dripping as it's gotten wet a few times over the years, little spiders running about. And memorial scribbles. <3 I have no clue what I'm going to do for the character yet, but I just.... couldn't let this baby go, and I'm really glad Silver got him for me!
This year I didn't get around to gifting as many people as I would have liked to, but I can at least say I love every single gift I was given this year. You're all amazing, and I'm looking forward to another year around here!
