We're very grateful to Cordometer for the incredible artwork she did for AX - we're moving into a new phase of the game now and felt the need to update our art for a new, more unique look, but her creations are beautiful and many of them will continue to be available as premium legacy items.

Here's some more of our early art by Cordometer, including the banner that has decorated our front page since the beginning (with background by kittybot), Mr Cheetah who has been our mascot displayed below the in-game chat window, and the playful cheetah cub who has been our 404 graphic!
A digital painting of a mother cheetah snarling and protecting her cubs from a roaring male lion, on an African savanna in the sunset. A digital painting of a cheetah sitting down and facing away from the viewer, with its head turned to look up and to the left. A digital painting of a cheetah cub playfully attacking an adult cheetah's tail.

If you'd like to see the original cheetah art done by Cordometer, here are some examples from our custom cheetah creator, which is currently live to be played with and tested while we work on new art- check our Discord server for the link! Many of these colors and markings will stay on the cheetahs!
A digital painting of a golden coated cheetah with faint brown spots and a lighter tan underbelly standing in an African savanna, with yellow grass and dirt, a few green trees and some scrub bushes, and a cloudy blue sky. A digital painting of a blue-grey cheetah with dark grey spots and a white underbelly, standing on an African savanna in a dirt clearing framed by tall green grass and bushes, with a green tree and some mountains visible in the distance under a cloudy blue sky. A digital painting of a black cheetah with darker black spots and a dark grey underbelly. It is standing in an African savanna landscape at night, on sandy ground marked with many different footprint trails and studded with tufts of green grass and small scrub bushes, with large rocks behind the cheetah and, in the distance, mountains with a tall waterfall under a starry dark blue sky with the horizon just beginning to lighten. A reddish brown, dark brown, and creamy white cheetah with black spots standing in a sandy African desert at night, with sculpted dunes in the background under a starry night sky.

These pictures of some of many done by our Art Director and head artist, kittybot! It has done many of our bgs, animals, and items, and did the first edition of the game's shopkeeper and Explore artwork. Featured here are the default bg, the Mountains Explore area, a buzzard, and a waterfall bg.
A digital painting of an African savanna, featuring large rocks, a sandy ground with many different foot print tracks, green tufts of grass, small scrub bushes, and in the background, mountains with a large waterfall and a cloudy blue sky. A digital colored painting of some heavily forested mountains, with the tops of clouds and a sunrise sky in the background, and some cracked brown rocks with green grass and small bushes growing from between them. A digital painting of a buzzard in flight. A digital painting of a forest clearing at night, with a stream running through the grass fed by a large waterfall spilling down tall rocks at the right. Thick green leaves can be seen in the background, and glowing fireflies float above the grass.

These images were done for us by Rubyz, a fantastic artist who occasionally does environment art for us! The left image is the art for the Savanna area of our Explore minigame, & the right is the map art for the Village Square, which still needs art for its various shops and games! Could you do it?
A digital painting of an African savanna, with tall dry grass, several green trees, some wildflowers, and a background of hazy mountains with a cloudy blue sky. A digital painting of an African village square, with straw-roofed colorfully painted displaying a variety of items outside, and a central area surrounded by small stones that contains several market stalls, some blankets, and a raised stage with torches and flower garlands. The square is surrounded by a mossy stone wall with a bush-flanked gate, and beyond that, some tall African trees and, in the far distance, hazy mountains with a cloudy blue sky. In the foreground at the right is a wooded signboard with a paper sign tacked to it that reads 'Shops' with an arrow pointing to the right.

This art is all done by a previous artist who worked extensively with us, Kaen! She unfortunately had to greatly slow down doing any work for us due to her life taking off in exciting and very busy directions, but we are very grateful for what she was able to create for us first!
A digital painting of a butcher's counter display with many types of meat and fish, staffed by a Black male butcher wearing a white collared shirt and blue apron, standing behind the counter and and grinning while gesturing to the viewer with an open hand. Behind him is a wall shelf filled with various small bottles in different shapes and colors, and to his right is an Asian woman wearing a blue and white dress with a short ruffled skirt, black leggings, and blue ballet flat style shoes. Her arms are crossed and her head is turned to the side as she is looking at the wall shelf with a slight smile. A digital painting of a small town street done in an African architecture style. There are several buildings with different signs and awnings, surrounded by fences and trees. In the distance is a more Western looking building with an antenna on top, and in the foreground are a signpost with signs reading 'Village Square' and 'Carnival' shaped like arrows pointing to the left and right respectively, as well as a bulletin board with a bunch of papers and scraps of paper tacked and taped to it. Of the papers that are legible, one is on lined paper and reads 'User Shops' at the top with some notes and doodles beneath, and the other is a clipboard with a piece of paper on it that says 'Search' in large letters and has a graphic of a simplified magnifying glass. The buildings are set on a dirt road and above them is a pale, cloudy blue sky. A digital painting of a bull elephant charging the viewer and kicking up dust. A digital painting of a spitting cobra with head raised and hood flared, hissing angrily at the viewer.

Some of our staff have double lives outside of the pet sim community, so may not have any socials to share specifically dedicated to their pet sim work, but feel free to ask if you're interested in learning more about any of our staff!

Our admin and mod team are a little cronyish at current, to be honest - they're mostly members of Lorien's family and friends - but once the game is more complete we'll be open for more staff positions and look forward to potentially adding you to our team!
