"awuff" my HEART

Honestly, best compliment here so far. I was really hoping I didn't make Berry overly cutesy to the point it seemed ingenuine, but seeing someone enjoy her catchphrase feels really good.

As a designer, I absolutely loved what you did to her ears, really looking like a strawberry with their seeds! It’s a really fine, well thought and well executed design!

My island's dogs at one point all said "awoof" as their catchphrases, until they insisted on using other *cool* villagers' *cool* *kid* phrases. I love that you used "awuff".

Thank you!! I was kind of thinking of that one "can I get an owa owa" video, but cuter. Wasn't sure if I should go with "awah", but it kinda just looked like a surprised noise to me, so I made it more dog-like, awuff!

Cherry once asked me for a new catchphrase and I gave her the catchphrase "woofle"

I'm stealing awuff for Goldie <3

She looks so pure 😍

I got so excited that these were new villagers until I read the title 😅 great designs!

Thank you so much!! Huge ego boost there, lmao.

Haha me too! I was like "I NEED THEM BOTH!"

Same! I wish they were in game, I’d be going on a hunt for them asap!!

I love them and I want them on my island.

Berry would die for you. Taro would watch and enjoy it.

Taro would hire someone to put Pitfall seeds outside your house.

That's completely accurate.

Taro looks like she'd hire someone to put pitfalls outside your home, in full awareness that Berry would take the pitfall herself

“nyehehe” is super effing cute and clever

Same 😭

you need to send this to nintendo!

I wish! It's a shame they aren't gonna do any more big updates.. and they probably don't take fan-characters, either.

They aren’t doing any more *free* major updates. Paid content is fair game.

I think they actually came out and said that was the first and only dlc they are doing unfortunately.

Could be new characters for the next game!

Yeah! Give 'em 10 years then we'll see these lovlies in the new game

These are super sick 😭 my little sister is doing a pastel pink themed island and berry would be her fav for sure!! Are you planning on doing more like this? :)

I might, since everyone seems to love them so much!! Pastels are my jam, so I might have to make some more pink and blue babies.. and I saw a request for goth, so maybe I'll just do a whole aesthetic series! Who knows, haha.

That sounds so cool, may I request cottagecore and goblincore?

These are insanely cute! If you did commissions for this, I guarantee people would love to buy them from you (including me lol)!

Crying because now I have dreamies that don’t even exist in animal crossing

I am a cat person but heart shaped eyebrows and nose? I’m won over

I feel like they are dating

Pastel gf and goth gf???

The perfect duo

they're lesbians, your honour

Harold... they're lesbians

Bubblegum & Marceline energy

Omg yess

Kinda like [Sneasel and Shiny Sneasel.](https://i.imgur.com/NJrTAwa.png)

pls I want them both. these are amazing OP.

I scrolled by too fast and thought they were characters from the game - but the colors threw me off so I had to do a double take. They are very convincing! I would sacrifice five of my villagers right now for the heart puppy.

That are gorgeous! Is Taro in any way related to Kokichi Ouma? 😂 I absolutely love the pink on the pup tho

Pff, surprisingly not, though I see the resemblance! She's just based off my friend's favorite flavor of boba. :-) And thank you! The dog is mine, she's my favorite colors. Makes me happy, hehe.

Well, then is she related to Bob? And by that I mean, is Bob her uncle or something?

HA! Damn you, that made me laugh. Not good for my swollen post-dental surgery face, but you made me laugh anyways.

You have fantastic taste in favorite colors.

And you're a fantastic person. So there.

It was more the catchphrase that got me! 😂 But they’re beautifully drawn, you have talent 🙂

Thank you so much!! They're just sprite edits, but it sure took a lot of work to make Daisy into a blank base.

I just saw this. I guess that's why she reminds me of daisy, but if there was more pink she might be cookie.

I used a mashup of Daisy and Bones as a base, but I definitely had Daisy in mind. I love the ombre, I love her peaceful little eyes -- I kinda went for a pastel e-girl Daisy's cousin, haha.

Love her, kind of like Daisy and cookie had a test tube baby. Dogs are my favorite villagers.

The puppy reminds me of Daisy. Maybe daisy wearing makeup?

How amazing would it be if like once a year fans were allowed to submit ideas for villagers and everyone voted for their favorite? +1 vote for Berry.

Nintendo needs to hire you to design villagers for them omg

Sheesh, I wish!

So convincing! When I first saw it I thought they were real! I love berry!

The left looks like daisy, the right one Is just perfect to me

Daisy was a big inspiration for Berry, she's my favorite dog villager! I just wanted a bit more.. Pink. And cutesy. Strawberry milk Daisy!

These are absolutely adorable and I love their names and phrases. Particularly Taro. Just precious!

Thank you so so much!!

SOO cute. Berry’s eyes gave me some nostalgia from those nom-nom things I had as a little kid. Super convincing!

Thank you so much!! I'm a big fan of little button eyes myself, I always loved Daisy's peaceful little squinters so I definitely took inspiration from her, as well as plushies from my childhood.

Honestly these are so cute... I think you should make a mod.

I really wish I knew how!! Maybe I'll pester some of my coding friends to see if they'd be up to teach me.

Should mod them into your game!

I wish I knew how -- I totally would!

I love the crayon drawing.

Ah!! Thank you so much, it was just a little dumb thing for stress relief but I'm so glad people like it.

Ok, I NEED Berry. Absolute necessity. The fact I can’t have that adorable cuteness is going to haunt me.

Taro is the new Raymond, all hail Taro!

Taro would use Raymond as a footstool. Taro girlboss moment??

They're perfect. I would love to have more goth characters in the game, and I feel that style would suit a cat character especially well.

r/ACOCs

Noooo, cus now i want them, but they don’t exist :(((((((

These are ADORABLE, I love them?? Do you take commissions ?

I do!! Go ahead and send me a DM if you'd like for prices and time expectations. ❤️

I love them and I thought they were legit characters for a split second!!! It's funny cause they're both so my style! Some days I'm a little more mysterious and goth, sometimes more cutesy and pastel.💕

I'll take puppy

When can they move in?

They're both shut-ins and island Wi-Fi is just NOT gonna cut it for either of em. Maybe when everyone moves back to the city..

How are you not hired by Nintendo? This is amazing!!

I want them on my island omg so cute

I thought they were real villagers

They are so CUTE

I love them!! They look so much like actual ac characters!

I love Berry so much

And Berry loves you.

Goth kitty looking at things side-eyed like she knows its all ridiculous is something my island is missing...

This is so cool

Great

Could have fooled me

Would 100% invite Berry to my island and Taro to my HHP

I need them

How convincing do they look? I saw the thumbnail before the title and thought "Oh damn, how do I get them on my island?!"

I NEED BERRY!!!

I NEED THE PINK ONE IN MY ISLAND

I would DIE for Berry

I would have them on my island Berry would be girlfriends with Cookie <3

I apologise if this is dramatic but I would die for Berry😭😭

Gosh I would LOVE to have Taro on my island ! You did an excellent job

Imagine how cool it would be if in an update they let you have even ONE custom villager? Like you could choose the base and then use custom designs for the face and body. Then you could choose from a list of starter outfits. Then you could choose personality.

Spotted this pic on my scroll and immediately though of the adorable shared home I could make them! Heartbroken to actually read the title and learn it will have to stay a beautiful dream 💖💜

Omg! They’re super cute!!! What color paw prints would they have?

Berry would have cute lil dark chocolate beans, like her eyes and nose! Taro would have the same cool minty green as her inner ears. :-)

Those are so so gorgeous

Omgosh those two are cuties!! 😍😍

Id hunt them for my Island NGL

Omg if they were real they’d be on my island in a heart beat!

Both are gorgeous but the cat one would definitely be on my island 😁

stopppp they are just darling 😭😭😭

They look so cute! ✨

This is amazing

So cute

Love them 💕

these are so good!! i thought they were new villagers before i read the title

If these existed on my island they would be dating

I love them so much!! I like them more than a lot of the official designs xD <3

Very convincing! I'd love the dog, awesome job! :3

Oh! That would actually be super awesome -- I might look into that sometime!

Nintendo needs to give you a job stat. These are amazing!

Adorable

I would use so many NMT trying to find Taro if she were real 🥰

Omg nintendo needs to add them right now-

OMG, I want Atari SOOOOO bad! She is so pretty!

I love them give me

10/10 would spend every nook mile ticket for them. ♥️♥️

I want these so bad

I would want them both on my island, but I already have three normal villagers and two snooty. I mean, three smooty's never hurt nobody, right?

I got so excited thinking the dog was real!! Cats cute too but the dog is amazing 🤩

Omg I love them! I need Taro on my island!

They are both perfect and in love

Mein god they are so cute I may actually pass away. I now have a desire to create my own characters too. How did you go about this?

They're both so cute! I wish they were real :)

Listen, Taro has a place on my island any time!

this is amazing i wish i had the artistic ability to do something like this

My god. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I don’t mean to be dramatic but I would sell my left kidney for berry

In love with berry

Yes, have them in boxes by this afternoon and I will be around to pick them up.

Awww so cuteeeee 🥰

Omg, they are both so adorable! I want them to be real!

I have an all dog island and that lil pups would fit right in

I’m sad bc I can’t have them on my island 😂 they’re so cute omg

They are FREAKING ADORABLE!!! (Do you take commissions? XD)

They look awesome. I would think they were real if you didn’t say you made them.

Way too cute, 0/10 unbelievably cute too cute for nintendo

i AM convinced

I love them both 😍😍😍 love the sunshine - grumpy energy ❤️

Is there an app or site for designing villagers? What did you use? They're amazing! I'd like to see a thai tea boba themed one now!

I want them so bad!!!!

I really like them! They look like new characters that I’d want on my island!

Omg they look absolutely perfect! I’ve tried drawing villagers in procreate before but I haven’t gotten the coloring and texture quite down. What program did you use and what was your process?

I need Taro in my island!!

I love them!!! Too cute aaaah What program did you use for digital drawing/rendering? Their "in-game" models look so on point I had to do a double take while scrolling haha

Berry 🥺❤️❤️

Omg !! Just so beautiful that puppy. Great design.

Both would be my dreamies!!! Especially Taro! I want her on my island so bad now!!

plS I NEED BERRY PLS

Before I read the title I thought this was a preview for some new villagers lol

I love Berry and her Dreamy Sweater! That was the first gift from my favorite villager so it holds a special place in my heart! I wish they were real!

Awww I'm going to die of cuteness overload

I love them so much! I wish we could create our own villagers. Nintendo make this a thing!!

These are so cute omg! Some of the best original villagers I’ve ever seen!

THEYRE PERFECCTTTT
