bdubs - nightmoss
i knew absolutely IMMEDIATELY that i needed him to be short and fluffy and have GIANT ears & eyes. i struggled with his name a bit; i wanted something related to sleeping and plants. i thought about bush- or moon- as a prefix, but i think pearl would work better with a moon- prefix, and liked moss- better than bush because of bdubs's moss cape. i thought about mossmoon for a while, but settled on nightmoss instead! almost cried over how cute this design was. i love him and i want to Squish him. my biggest struggle was getting his proportions right.
design features;
dark fur, big ears & eyes, long tail, fluffy boy, Short, leaf-like pattern on back, green eyes
grian - flightchirp
was very torn between flightchirp and birdwatcher for g's name, so decided to say he used to be from another community and left them and his old name, birdwatcher, behind. i knew exactly three things i wanted to do with his design; short boy, feathery tail, & eye motifs. i tried to give his face and chest some bird-like qualities as well. he's probably been caught doing something he shouldn't have in this image and is pretending that if he doesn't move he won't be noticed. i went through like four different designs before finally settling on this one.
design features;
wide face, short stocky body, bird-like feathery fluff, wing-like tail, eye patterns, reddish-brown fur, yellow/gold eyes
mumbo - mumbleflash
the prefix was so easy, but i did struggle with a suffix for a while. i love the way he came out, he's so funky aarrggghhh. he was actually the first kitty hermit i designed, and i liked it so much i haven't changed it at all. i made him tall and gangly, and i very much hope i've captured the vibe of "awkward distinguished gentleman who just really wants to infodump about his special interests"
design features;
Tall Boy, crooked tail, tall pointy ears, mustache!!!, spots made to look like a tie, black and white fur, long swoopy facial fur

Can't help but feel like you missed an opportunity with Mumbo's name... After all, "Mumble" is apparently a perfectly reasonable warrior prefix! Have you ever considered changing any of their names? Like to Mumbleflash or something?
I do love the prefix mumble it is a very cute prefix
But I spent a lot of time mulling these names over. Days, even. Sitting in bed thinking about it. Maybe I’ve gotten unreasonably attached to the names I made, I’ll give ya that but MMMM I REALLY LIKE THE NAMES I CAME UP WITH THEY’RE CUTE WHEN I HEAR REDFLASH I THINK OF A LITTLE OBSERVER FLASHING AWAY
