The final form of Steph is finally with us!
I didn't get an illustration of human Steph because she never was supposed to be with us for long.
Here she is again:
Overall, I immediately fell in love with her design, but the eyes were a bit of work. I think I played around with like 30 different combinations before settling on 3 final ideas I had fully illustrated.
Alternative 1:
Alternative 2:
I liked both ones a lot, especially the yellow alternative. Still, the blue one was slightly too boring, and the yellow clashed with her hair too much. The pink looked nice, complimented her colors, and matched Chloe, so that was my winner~
I'm sure that some probably prefer a different version of her from the choices I had, but I am REALLY happy with what I went with!
Now to some trivia~
THERE WERE SO MANY HINTS FOR HER I HID IN THE STORY xD
I'll skip all the dog/fox references because I forgot where I put most of them myself, but let me show you some pictures with plushies that might look familiar:
From around chapter 300:
And then all the way back to the background of the illustration in chapter 183!!! Yeah, over 150 chapters back!
It was really fun hiding them... I had done the same with Chloe, as well. Might there be others, too?

Anyway, I hope you like the new design of Steph. In a way, it's kinda simple, but she is sooo darn adorable that I will accept no complaints about anything regarding her design. Again, people often say it's okay to be wrong or have their own opinion, but in this case, that's simply not the truth.
Best and cutest dog~

Anyway, they will be a Christmas illustration later (in 5-12h) with a bit of flavor text added to it. Nothing too special, though.
Damaged illustration photos cannot be seen.
Now thats not fair ! You know we would be too distracted with umm... other stuff... to notice any hint from the previous illustration!
Especially the illustrations with Ellie! You can't hide a hint in a picture with the goddess of cuteness, adorableness and diabetus!
Thanks for the presents. Now to play a game of spot-the-differences!
Thanks for the earlier variations of the illustration for Steph and for explaining her hidden references!~

My complaint: She’s way too heckin cute and gives diabetes from said levels of cuteness~
In all seriousness though, it’s a great design for her!

I know!
Imagine me waking up to a discord message with like 30 combinations of her (hair + eye colors). I died.
That... sounds like it was a very hard decision. I don’t know what the other ones looked like but good job picking the combination that is Steph’s final design!
@The_Enderwolf Well, I posted the hair colors. Okay, the eyes were hard, I guess... Still, a lot simply didn't feel right and it boiled down to blue/yellow/orange/pink variants.
Omg…The 150 one, Chloe is there too as a fox plushie
I'll be honest, I don't get the appeal of most dogs, chihuahuas I hate. But wolves, huskies and other breeds that are similar to wolves I like. Doge is a good one aswell.
Well i hate you too….i have 2 chihuahua
(i dont ACTUALLY hate you btw)
@Aschente For having those two vassals of horror, I cannot imagine the life with dogs that have been bred to look similar to rats. But hey, some people like to suffer, their choice lol.
In all honesty, the dogs just look small, lanky, weak, the head seems comically big, eyes seem to pop out of their heads and even though their head is so big, nothing seems to be in the skull.
@Peekon Man chihuahua have a bad rep for no reason……
@Aschente I'm sorry, they just aren't cute and fluffy. Life is biased towards cute appearances.
@Peekon
@Aschente I'm sad too ever since I became aware of it, but once you have a couple breakdowns you'll get over it.
@Peekon xD
