i love country names, so ive been blessed to be able to adopt Sweden by the lovely !

following the theme of national animals (Malaysia and Korea are tigers and Indonesia's is the komodo dragon), i meant to turn Sweden into some sort of elk/moose/deer. i initially decided on the reborn antlephore (even got the supplies), but somehow it doesnt match well.

so should i:

1. do the reborn antlephore thing and then draw a custom overlay to my liking?
2. pick another colour/species for Sweden that closer matches the elk or perhaps the blackbird (national bird)? (suggestions too, please?)
3. dont go with the theme of national animals and go for something entirely different?

thank you in advance for all help! c:

much gratitude to for helping me decide on the harvest antlephore! c:

;; I wasn't going to get involved, but then it happened anyway...

The Swedish stereotype is chilly & somewhat snobbish/arrogant (here in Scandinavia at least), and that up there is its coat of arms. (Bonus! The Brothers Lionheart is also a very famous Swedish book.)

(double-ref: Lille Gubban (Pippi Longstocking's horse))

Snow/winter sports, anyone?

It's also known as one of the most PC countries around, so there's that.

And then there's that jarring blue-yellow colour-combo that they like to slap onto literally everything (seriously, the local IKEA stands out like a flashing neon light in the landscape).

Otherwise,

Just some suggestions. Good luck with your pet! (& sorry if I offended any Swedes along the way!)

i died at the IKEA pets omg that ontra's face is just like "ja?" /ded I AM SORELY TEMPTED

the others:

i did think of the spectrum antlephore and blacklight fester hm! i forgot about how open Sweden was, and that makes me lean to them a little more c:

i like that suggestion of the archan too (and it did cross my mind earlier) but for some reason i dont work well with lions in general ;A; im not so much for the glacier pets for now, but i'll brood on them mm.

i actually adore the harvest antlephore! looks a bit more elk-y and glade/harvest pets are just love ^-^

GOSH OKAY so now its between the harvest antlephore, the blacklight fester and the IKEA dusk ontra SWEATS NERVOUSLY or maybe a glacier arghh

THANK YOU CORE FOR HELPING ME ;A;

/snorts the IKEA pets just want some lovvveeee but the awful colours are driving everyone awaayyyy~ Sorry if I made things even more complicated;;; Good luck deciding! :'d (:

thanks for all your help uwahh ;-; i did stalk all the glacier pets trying to convince myself Sweden NEEDS to be a glacier clawsion (probably the closest to a lion that wasnt the archan) but i couldnt bring myself to un-glacier Sau T^T so i decided to go with the harvest antlephore idea c:

also this was probably the most tempting pet i came across after you dropped the blue-yellow combo down: but i cant draw bees well either. IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING YOU'D BE ABLE TO PICK UP AT IKEA DSJGKJS

anyway you're my hero either way xD /squishes

;;

Ha-ha, that bumbus; it totally does look like something you'd find at IKEA. Brilliant. xD

Congrats on settling on a colour/species! Have fun working on them! ^^
