Hello!

It's my first time participating in a reward, thank you JustAbout and Critter Café for organizing this!

I present to you: Gobliblin, whom I painted by hand in Krita! Gobliblin loves trinkets, moss and mushrooms. They can be found in Emerald Bay rummaging through the trash or combing the sand in search for shiny things.

Due to their love of trinkets, they can make excellent critter in booking session, though people are advice to keep their keys and other shiny objects in their pockets. They will love to show their own trinkets to guests, for everyone's delight.

Please remember to give enrichment in Gobliblin's enclosure by regularly hiding colorful buttons and polished pebbles in corners and under leaves, so they can rummage to their heart content and add their loot to their hoarding pile hidden in their nest!

Introducing Rodianthus :D I painted Rodianthus in watercolour! I'm only a beginner but I enjoy myself very much :D I also encourage you to go and look at the pic on BlueSky because the preview is all compressed and full of artefacts.

Anyway. I designed Rodianthus because I love both rodents and dianthus flowers (hence my username) and I thought it would be fun to compare the two. I studied the shapes of the critters I have already unlocked in my game a little, and realized that they were all Very Round with those beautiful brown eyes and tiny legs. I also noticed that the recolor variants seem to follow a pattern: a more "natural" look, then a "flashy" one, then what I would call a "classy" one and the fourth one which is the most complex and the prettiest. I thought it would be a fun challenge to try and recreate that for Rodianthus!

Lore-wise, Rodianthus is a social and curious critter who can be found in Honeycrisp Grove. It enjoys the company of other critters and customers very much, and so should be kept in an habitat shared with likewise social critters. Rodianthus needs a lot of enrichment, such as toys but also quality time and cuddles!

The dianthus on its head isn't a real flower and more of a part of its body, so please don't try to pluck it! For this reason the Rodianthus is best kept as a Booking critter. On top of its natural cuteness factory, its stamina bonus will surely prove very useful as well.

Meet Flufflily 🌸🐇
A charming blend of bunny, lily, and pure cuteness, Flufflily is a creature full of energy and joy. Her mission in the world is to spread happiness and turn any ordinary day into a special celebration.

Flufflily has a unique gift for enlivening events, especially birthdays. When she catches the scent of carrot cake and coffee, her energy skyrockets! In those moments, she begins to scatter magical confetti and create beautiful decorations made of petals and leaves. Her presence turns any party into an unforgettable experience.

Moreover, Flufflily loves playing hide-and-seek, pretending to be a little plant to trick her friends.
A hug from Flufflily has the power to soothe troubled hearts and recharge the energy of those around her.

She adores outdoor spaces filled with plants and flowers. She loves being brushed and taking baths, and she never says no to a little treat. 🌸🐇

Meet Swirom. I was drawing something cute and the body and eyes of that cute lemur from the animation Madagascar, Mort, came to mind haha. As he's a hybrid, I added the fins of a fish and this was the result! Don't be fooled by his cuteness, he can be quite temperamental.

Introducing Bowbit(Got it? haha)! 🐇

Petalpuff is an adorable, pink critter with long ears that wiggle as he runs around in his coffee haha. His great charm lies in the bow tie that is always neatly aligned around his neck, which changes color according to his mood: blue for tranquility, red for excitement and yellow for curiosity.

I couldn't submit the other image I attached to instagram, but it was the sketch, where I realized I hadn't drawn our dear friend's tail haha.

This is Cueia my creature for Critter Coffe. I love customizing mugs, and I'm watching Beastars, so I decided to base it on a bunny, and I thought: why not a coffee mug? That's when I drew my creature on a mug.

I imagined something like a lion's mane when I was drawing, I think the game has several focused on antennae, horns and tails, but I think that critters that have fur and smooth skin at the same time don't have many options and something inspired by animals like a lion or maybe a golden lion tamarin would be a really cool critter!

Guafy

https://twitter.com/CMDRHenckes/status/1879974863638835507

So how I'm in love of critters with horns I decided to base my design on a Bighorn sheep and give him horns that are each bigger then his body. With a pale blue fur making contrast with the brow horns, the Guafy is a very temperamental critter but efficient in making things going faster at your Café.

dianthus's avatar

Cute!! I love bighorn sheep too!

Tootkin's avatar

Oh I do love a good pair of horns! Mine only have small ones to leave place to the ears x)

Good choice for the colors, it does give a nice contrast!

so for this pony named twister that I made in win paint, this yak is in a distant place and beautiful mountains, he loves cakes and runs away from his territory when this creature wants to help in the Critter Café he will enthusiastically eat food given by others who will add a special buff that is random for each food given in other words, each food will give a buff.

This critter has an active personality that is helpful and very smart, its dense fur and innocent face make it very cute, making visitors to the cafe eager to play with it.

On his forehead there is a mysterious gem that has yet to be discovered.

Name : XYRUS.

As you see here this critter has the appearance of ''the thunder wolf'' the wolf spirit and has the personality is famous for seeking independence and freedom and also bravery. It is very loyal and can guide you into making decision that is right for you and will protect you. They will listen to you. this type of critters are very rare and you can find them in the mountains roaming in their territory. It may seems intimidating but once it liked you he can be a big softy. Xyrus has higly developed limbs,sharp fangs and claws. its body is covered with purple and turquoise fur and it has prominant huge horn on its forehead. It uses its horn to charge itself with purple electricity and its fur will stick up and its body will start to glow bright purple.

So, this little guy was done in the Win Paint program... haha This is a horsey-type critter that has a tail shaped into a bass clef, or the F Clef. This is a critter that is all about music and loves it so much, it hums a catchy tune. When this critter comes in to assist at the Critter Café, it brings in the type of music that soothes that inner savage beast. Or, in other words, it gives a bonus during Open for Trade. It would be super amusing and cute if it pulled out a little bass (it will look like a violin, I am sure). The name I came up for this little guy is... Wait for it! Clefy. I would imagine if you guys can come up with something far wittier if you choose to use this concept, please, by all means, have at it.

The existing care and treats within Critter Café would suffice. Clefy is not picky. In regards to the toy shape - you guessed it... a little squeaky toy shaped into a bass that has a slightly lower sound than the others.

I made the ears big on Clefy and some semblance of a mane.

The Critterguy made with paint. The story of this little guy is a bit sad. The portal you used to save him took you straight to hell, not a comfy place, and after solving all the puzzles for reaching him you were not intimidated by his somewhat "hellish" appearance due to his huge horns and squared jaw. Once you have saved him though, his gratitude will be poured out on your customers who can't wait to pet him on his messy fluffy hair while sipping their lattés.

Aggressive or protective by nature, possibly with abilities or behaviors that reflect his battle-ready name. Likes attacking and defending.
