Creature Collaboration 🐹🍓
This is a collab with @miraeggs! Mira originally suggested the Grizko two years ago (original topic here). I've redrawn her darling idea and we're reintroducing the Grizko today! We hope you love this sweet hammy!

Reintroducing the Grizko 🐹🍓
The Grizko is a black and white hamster based on Mira's real life Syrian hamster. He sleeps in a giant strawberry filled with colorful pastel bedding. Here is the photo that inspired Mira: https://ibb.co/SvMLqH9

I used micron pens and watercolors.

Name Meaning 🐹🍓
"Grizko" means "nibbly" in Bulgarian, since Syrian hamsters love to nibble.

About Grizko Eggs 🐹🍓
Description by @miraeggs, edited by @daisycat
The Grizko egg consists of soft fur and colorful pastel cushions. This bedding keeps the Grizko warm throughout its incubation. Occasionally, you can hear very quiet snoring from the egg as the baby inside sleeps peacefully.

About the Grizko Creature 🐹🍓
Description by @miraeggs, edited by @daisycat
Once the Grizko hatches, they carry their bedding in their mouth as they search for the nearest strawberry. Grizkos eat through the berries to create a shelter. As they evolve, their strawberry starts to spoil, but they don't mind! They store their food amongst their bedding; sometimes you can see crumbs or cheese bites. They love to show off their colorful bedding to the other creatures on the island.

I wish there was bedding on the final stage though maybe like sticking out on the side in the background

daisycat • 8 January 2023 at 8:21 PM

@miraeggs
I'm so happy you like it! ❤️

@cranberrycat1
Ooh, that's a good idea! Could tie the whole thing together and add a nice contrast to the rotting strawberry. 😊

@wonder404exe
Lol Wonder. It's a hamster, and there's some cheese! Little bits! Most of it was eaten by the Grizko. c:

miraeggs • 8 January 2023 at 8:25 PM

@wonder404exe thank you! My whole idea was actually inspired by this photo:
https://ibb.co/SvMLqH9 😊

Edit: @daisycat could add it to the description, it would be a good idea to have the inspo photo 😊

charchill • 8 January 2023 at 8:26 PM

Oh, it's a revived! Cool!

I like the inspiration, and the drawing is so realistic!

daisycat • 8 January 2023 at 8:35 PM

@miraeggs
Great idea, added the precious photo. 😊

@miraeggs
Really nice! I love how it's based on an actual existing hamster!

megamisama90 • 9 January 2023 at 10:47 AM

@daisycat @miraeggs
Awww ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ The moment I saw the notification I just knew what this was and had to come 😸 Cutie Grizko ❤️ I remember the original one. I hope this comes to life as it should have back then!

miraeggs • 9 January 2023 at 10:52 AM

@moonflower thank you 😊
@megamisama90 thank you 😸 ❤️ I hope so too!

moonflower • 9 January 2023 at 11:03 AM

@miraeggs
I love hamsters, and love the concept of this suggestion, I really hope it becomes a thing! ^^

daisycat • 9 January 2023 at 11:15 AM

@moonflower
Thank you, Moon! I appreciate your input. 😸

@megamisama90
Thank you for your comment, Misa! 😊
It saddens me to see some creature suggestions still being pushed when the post date was many years ago, be it two or eight... It's like, really, after all that time? Still wasn't selected? :/ And interest was / is shown. I know there's an abundance of suggestions and they can't all be made, especially not at once. But just something I noticed with some users trying to get something created. I genuinely hope they all get their overdue chance. c: Having said that, I want a shot at one too. ^.^

megamisama90 • 10 January 2023 at 1:07 PM

@daisycat
Yup :/ Some users get many made and others none ☹️ I wish it was more fair. I don't mind if mine doesn't get made. It was just fun making one but for some people it would probably mean the world. And as for Grizko, it would mean he'd live on forever ❤️

daisycat • 10 January 2023 at 4:12 PM

@megamisama90
No truer words have been spoken. Now, off to see your suggestion you're referring to...! 😱

tryvegan4theanimals • 6 February 2023 at 10:26 AM

@daisycat This one is so cute aaaaaaaaa would LOVE to see them in the cave ❤️

romanjr370 • 6 February 2023 at 10:43 AM

It's such a cute creature!
Hope it gets made 😊🤞

daisycat • 6 February 2023 at 11:08 AM

@tryvegan4theanimals @romanjr370
Thank you both!! ❤️ I know it would mean so much to @/miraeggs if her lil hammy could forever be a pet on here. :-)

nanami • 6 February 2023 at 4:55 PM

So cute 😊

aoiegg • 6 February 2023 at 5:17 PM

Honestly~ That's freaking adorable. So happy this Collab is happening and they look adorable! Used to have two hamsters myself and they're a lot of joy to raise.

raitonchidori • 7 February 2023 at 8:24 AM

@daisycat really unique art style

daisycat • 7 February 2023 at 11:15 AM

@nanami @aoiegg @raitonchidori
Thank you so much, everyone! It's very appreciated. ❤️

nanami • 7 February 2023 at 12:28 PM

I would totally freeze it in his 3th stage 😃

daisycat • 7 February 2023 at 12:30 PM

@nanami
Agreed! :-) I'd love to have two; one in the 3rd and one in the 4th. 😊

nanami • 7 February 2023 at 12:35 PM

Sounds like a good plan 😃

valorieviolet • 21 February 2024 at 5:00 PM

@miraeggs @daisycat

Aww, how come I didn't come across this sooner!! I had my fair share of hamsters growing up, so I'm familiar with their love for taking their food to their beds xD Love the whole idea of them making a bed inside a strawberry, so creative! I would also like to say that that is one FURRY egg cx

chihiro_sang • 24 February 2024 at 12:06 AM

The picture makes me think of that one Anansi the spider story where he eats his way into a melon and eats too much to get back out.

murfijs • 24 February 2024 at 5:43 AM

@daisycat hamster!
i love hamsters so much! i really hope this creature gets made
