@Bliss I'm actually wondering about if I can find a list of other people's pets that I have liked, not the other way around. ^^;

Congratulations on your win! I have a weakness for water-themed pets with simple profiles and Huron is really lovely example.
@Cassandra
I think you're misunderstanding the purpose of the Pet Spotlight, which is just a PET spotlight, not a spotlight for users who work on their pets. It's showcasing a well done pet to the rest of the site, which is why the official guidelines don't try to control who does the work.
We as users typically congratulate the owner because they're the ones who own the pet and won this little lottery. They completed something and if people want to give them a little recognition for that, I don't see why it should bother you so much.
If you feel other users deserve the credit, you could try commenting them to say that you like their work rather than attempting to drag them all into your personal vendetta and petty drama. I don't speak for them but I'm pretty sure they're not unhappy that someone won the spotlight due in part to their work since it's a good advertisement of their skills. As another user mentioned, we're all able to read the credits that Bliss included. The negativity you keep bringing to the comments is not only inappropriate but could ultimately hurt the sales of users here who get most of their commissions for pet-related creativity.
Please stop trying to shame users away from commissioning or skill swapping with each other and dictating how they should work on their pets. As long as they enjoy the character and are within the rules, they're not doing anything wrong.

I. Literally. Cannot. With. You.
@Cassandra you need to think before you speak.
What is your deal?? I would ask you how it would feel if someone devalued your pet accomplishments, but I still see nearly nothing, aside from the stats you've begun.
So I ask you this instead:
Where does it say in the rules that you have to do everything to enter? Where does it say in the guidelines that it's okay to badger users for not having every skill needed to create a vision they have in their head?
Where do you get that it's okay to be judgemental and hateful towards users (that pour effort into their pets as much as you pour pettiness on your wheaties in the morning)?
It is people like you that discourage otherwise creative people from trying their hand at something they're passionate about, for fear of being judged for blur being perfect.
Tl;dr
Stop. S T O P.

@Cassandra I so dearly want to ignore you, but holy shit, can you please just stop? If you’re so salty about who wins the spotlight can you just enter your own pets? Or maybe do any actual work on them yourself, besides buffing up their stats (gasp are you actually doing that yourself?? That’s actually subeta’s code you’re working through so I guess that’s not your own accomplishment either) which I will give you credit for, but seriously though: where’s your self made art? Where’s your coding skills? Why don’t any of yours have a story? Hm? It’s sad to see you consistently tearing others down. And yes it’s your “opinion” but please don’t tempt me to crawl out of my cave to come and shake you every time.
That being said! Fantastic pet! Love the concept and the execution, so kudos to all those involved.

I thought this pet was a normal color that you could obtain in-game and I was like "TAKE ALL MY sP!" until I realized that Huron is a custom pet! Good job!

As someone who lives in Michigan and has spent countless hours on and around Lake Huron, I applaud this pet. Absolutely lovely.

Congratulations!
Huron has such a beautiful character design, and I really like their background and story as well! I like that they came up with an alternative for some of the creatures of old so that they all wouldn't end up disappearing.
Nice job! <3

Really, really, really stunning, both the overlay and the writing. Would that Huron could reach all the way to the current fools trying to dismantle the EPA; it seems like he could scare them straight.

Omg Huron is absolutely gorgeous!!! If this were available as a regular color for pets I would be in Heaven!!!! Loved the story too. :)

If we could favorite other users' pets, I'd favorite this one in a heartbeat. I am obsessed with horses, and this one is gorgeous in artwork and design. It's actually enough to get me to consider actually doing something with my own pets/growing legecia herd.
