Commission Panel Violations
Site Update
Good Evening, I request that everyone who uses the commission panel please read this in full.
It has recently been brought to my attention that we have commissions appearing on the panel for $1 with descriptions of saying to add more to the tip or they are pay what you want with a minimum of $1.
The cost of the design must be posted, and must not be included within the tip. A tip is a gratitude, not part of the payment.
This is highly unacceptable. I understand that the commission panel fees may upset some of you, but this is the balance for being allowed to sell designs for USD. This is a blatant attempt at avoiding the fees and it will not be tolerated. If this trend does not stop immediately we will have to remove the ability to send tips.
This is on you, the artists and users of the commission panel. I do not want to remove the tip function, I am perhaps the strongest advocate of keeping it, do not ruin this for everyone else.
If you wish to do pay what you want, or add different amounts for certain additions, do it in your thread.

Adventure Pets
Pets
Miksa appears looking a bit exhausted, but also with a few new pages in her hands. "I found some new pets while I was out searching." Before she could be questioned about what she was searching for, she turns heel and heads back to the wilderness.
In addition, the March and April pet coloration submissions forum raffle has been drawn!
Congratulations to March's winner Rheyn + Essi (#844) for winning a Gold Custom Orb!
Congratulations to April's winner Time (#77837) for also winning a Bronze Custom Crystal!
If you want to design some Adventure pets, go and post them in their respective threads here! There's also a chance that the designs accepted from that forum will go into the Pet Shop! Remember, you can earn SP!
If your design is now released as a site pet please contact me, Kousei (#25044), for your free copy.

Happy Lunaris Day!
Site Update
"Good Evening!" You immediately recognize Colette, adjusting her beautiful dress as she floats to rest beside you. "I hope that you're having a great night, but do you know what tomorrow is?" Her voice was playful, almost sing song as she grins ear to ear. "It's Lunaris Day!" She proclaims excitedly, "As such, being a certified Lunaris Fan, I was selected to introduce you to our newest lineset! We couldn't have them getting a big head and introducing themselves now could we?"
400x400 PSD | 200x200 PSD
"The Stalking Lunaris Alternate lineset is a permanent addition to the Lunari Family and can be made with any of the items that create Lunaris!"
"As a special treat I will also be sitting at the Advent Calender tomorrow, May 15th, giving out Lunaris Gift Bags! These beautiful bags are not only one of my favorite colors but also stocked full of different Lunaris Goodies, so enjoy!"
We also have an influx of green! Rohvannyc (#21192) and flightyRainbow (#63627) have joined the moderator team as two new Site Elves! They are moderators in training so feel free to come to them with questions and put them to the test.

Site Update

Apparently lions, not content with their dictatorship over the jungle, now seek to rule over the oceans as well!
The Essence of May 2018 is now available in the GP Shop! But the image is having issues, but I promise it will have an image and it's really pretty.

Welcome to May!
Site Update
April showers bring May flowers and cute pets!
If you colored one of these pets, please contact Kousei (#25044) for your payment!
Make sure to include your PayPal address if you are opting for the USD option.
We will also be collecting pet PSDs directly from the thread, so please make sure you keep the links active for two weeks (at least until mid-May) so we have time to snag 'em!
The Essence of May 2018 will turn your active pet into one random May 2018 Pet listed above! Well, it would, but we don't have one yet! So stay tuned for when we get that.
A Lunaris has emerged from a powerful storm to wish those born in May a happy birthday! Careful, there may be a bit of static electricity on its fur.
If you missed your Lunaris or have further questions regarding them, please contact Chelle (#7310).
Don't forget to check out the birthday link to claim your gift from Aywas on your big day! Need to change your birthday? Click here!
Another Lunaris has been spotted tending to the plants around Naoki's SP Shop! Perhaps he will part with it for some of those shiny silver paws...
May's Premium Item may seem a little familiar... we listened to feedback and so this month you can get the Fancy Spring Custom Crystal! This one will allow you to make an edited 50% of the spring custom lines (the voting for that reve down below). Which, it looks like Reve #1 is the winner so I will be putting in the request to have it finalized.
The new monthly contests have been announced!
June Monthly Shop Pets: Enter
June Monthly Customs - Sea Critters: Enter
Good luck with your entries!

Memory of Light and Spring Event
Site Update
Many of you will remember that a few weeks ago we lost one of our artists, Dani. She was one of the longest standing artists on the Aywas team, and many members of the site wanted to do something in her honor. It is with that, that I bring you the new item: Memory of Light.
The Memory of Light is a unique custom maker that can be used to create any of the available PSD's with no lineart changes.
In Dani's honor, the only way to obtain this custom maker is to donate to one of the approved charities that you can find in This KB Article. You can also find the full instructions, and a full list of the available pets.
We all still miss her, and we will continue to do so, so in her honor try to be good to each other. There is already so much sadness and anger in this world, try to shine even a little bit of light wherever you go.
Wednesday the 25th, you can find a gift from Manju in the Advent Calendar.
Now onto Spring Event things! You can now find the different dyes recipes available at the Alchemy Lab. These dyes all require a few random components as well as 2-3 Snapdragons each. Now that the dyes are obtainable, the Easter Painter has also been activated! Mouse over the dyes to see how many dye is required for each recipe.
But what will you do with your leftover Snapdragons? Why, give them to Rowan of course! They are her favorite flower, so she set up a little booth where you can exchange your flowers for the invisible 'flower points'.
You then can take those Flower Points over to the Seasonal Shop where Rowan has set up a small amount of goodies and pets for you as a reward!
If you don't have enough Flower Points, don't worry, you can also find the Bottled Tulip in the Trash for Treasure! Using this potion will transform your active pet into one random pet from the Spring Seasonal Shop!
The Easter Painter, Seasonal Shop, Egg Field, and Snapdraons will remain until Sunday April 29th, 11:59pm. They may remain later than that due to human error, but don't count on it.
Edit: carrot cannons are for flower points now, painter may not actually be open. I am looking into this, if it is truly closed just know you need less than 10 of each color dye for everything.

Whoops, Sorry! (And a dash of teos~)
Site Update
This is the final warning to download all psds from the Black Friday Pot before Friday at 11:59pm AST! We will be clearing the pot this weekend, if you do not download your psd by then it will be lost!
A clarification on mystery eggs that was brought to my attention while I was at work, you cannot get a Xaoc from the Mystery Eggs! I apologize for this miscommunication, please see This Knowledge Base Article for the information if you are curious.
I've also found out we have a few rebellious items that didn't want to be for sale, so I have gone ahead and straightened them out and you can find them until the end of the sale!
