Ok, so, first of all, compliment time:
-I adore the texture usage on Stranger's gift. Jaxpsylla (almost abbrevited you to Jax) is maximizing nicheling cuteness levels as usual!
-Amazing use of shapes on Birb's gift! The way the sharp corners make their way into the spots, and the texture of the tail and horns - great job, presumably-Liz
-Jaxpsylla's gift is soo nice and shapey, but the best part is the little details, each of which has clearly been shaped with great effort - the claws, the lighting on the gems, every little detail of the face... I really need to scroll through Birbs art threads more often!
-I love how Pincer's gift has distinct yet realistic-feeling anatomy for the nicheling and bearyena. I wish I had that kind of grasp on different pecies! Since Pincer didn't know who it could be, I'm guessing Peanutpup based on it being traditional art and sticking somewhat close to the game style-wise
-Liz's gift has such a wonderfully serene feel with great usage of colors. The fur looks so nice and fluffy too! Liz hasn't guessed who made it yet so I'm not going to either
-Again with the textures, and the shapes too! Melon's bunny friend looks adorable! Not guessing this one yet either, and I'm not sure if I even could
-Pepper's gift is max cuteness, and the usage of different tones for depth has been pulled off really well! Not sure who this is
-Tundra's gift has such creative composition, with almost a playing card wibe. The colors work together great, and the effects are the cherry on top. Through process of elimination I think this is either Pincer or Stranger, which leads me to...
whoever left being responsible for this amazingly cuddly scene!
I love the painterly style, the atmosperic background, how fluffy the fur looks... SLARM's wrinkly little snoot is perfect and he looks so happy! Bearyena is so wonderfully soft-looking and I feel like I could just reach out, hold her face and feel the bone underneath like when petting a dog or a horse on the snoot (okay, that sounded creepier than it was supposed to, but point is she looks tangible and three-dimensional!)
Thank you so much to whoever made this! It's going on the print-it-out-on-my-wall list
