Items
Because this has been inquired... no, your requested design doesn't have to be of a GCC species. It can be anything you want. Whether you happen to just want a gold level Xaoc to stare at or you want a gold level raw pet, it's up to you...

GCC Promotion
Items
God we are so unloved and hated sawb sawb
Out of all the crystals bought from the GP Shop, the GCC is probably the most unloved, with SCCs and BCCs far more loved than them. As an experiment, I'd like to make a special offer (for the month, depending on how it goes): Gold Custom Crystals bought from the GP Shop will come with a free gold-level design.
You won't get full control of the complimentary design (to prevent it being stressful on the new GCC artist team) but you'll get to put some input into what kind of design you want by being offered this form to fill out:
Species:
Keyword: Just one word! Zombie, steampunk, space... anything you want.
2-3 Colors:
The new GCC team is excited to get working and I have a method to track GCCs bought from the GP Shop, so expect a PM in your inbox if you purchase a GCC, and I hope you enjoy your complimentary design. If you don't like your design, it's still yours so you can sell it if you want :)

Colorists wanted
Pets
STEALS THIS IMAGE FROM ERI TOO
Pet coloration artists are needed again. I remade the thread since the other one was fairly old. Pay is also no longer based on number of designs for new colorists, but rather on quality of work.
Feel free to apply if you'd like to give it a shot.

Meteor Incoming!!
Site Update
This meteor comes close to Ay every year in its travels. It seems like many species flock to this strange place during the week it is close and take on a strange appearance.
Welcome to The Lunar Meteor!
This is a very special region created by Michi (#716) through a prize voucher.
The Lunar Meteor will be near Ay only during the week of August 13th - August 20th, but it will come back each year. :) It is an open location, so anyone can access it!
(Yes, we're starting the star party a few hours early.)
It seems that strange spacey, astrological pets can be found around the meteor...
Though it is devoid of monsters, at least this time around.
There are also ten space-themed gatherables for you to collect!
Here's just a few that you'll find:
If you collect all ten, turn them in at the museum.
You will be rewarded with this shiny Star Ticket:
A Star Ticket is like the platinum class of Raffle Crystals.
At the end of the week, after the location closes and the collection retires, I will be holding a couple raffles for starry items, including a Bottled Starlight! How do you enter? Just have one of these tickets in your inventory (though you can sell yours if you want)!
Want to dress up your HA so that it looks a little more fitting for a starry scene?
The Seasonal Shop is now stocking ten HA items with a space theme!
If you're more of a foodie, you might enjoy some delicacies that are out of this world!
(Also stocking in Lorin's shop!)
Enjoy the stellar festivities!
And thank Michi for bringing this new region to Ay!
HAVE FUN.

A contract announcement...
Site Update
Good evening ladies and gents! I have an announcement for you all, something to potentially spark some interest on the breeding end...
Cash contracts!
(disclaimer: Frey's not actually setting any money on fire, promise!)
Yes, Slash allocated some funds towards expanding the breeding team and making breedings go by faster. I have four slots left open for this after extending the option to folks currently on staff. This means I am looking for 3 LBC and 1 EBC person.
Terms of the contract are $100/week, 10 pairs. This means your work must be done in 7 days. We are testing to see if this is feasible in our budget so we cannot guarantee the long-term, so consider this a pilot program for our breeding extension. Once we see how funds can handle this, we'll see where we go from there. Testing phases have to come first!
But for now, we want to get some more applicants for those two positions! So if this interests you, scurry on over to the LBC application or you can check the BC application for the EBC position -- just make one baby per pair, and make two of the three as EVIL as you can! I want to see your nasty, gory, bloody abilities.
Send all applications to [email protected] and specify in your application that you're applying for contract. Hope to see those applications soon! As a note, you HAVE to be over 18 to apply for contracts.

Return of the Art Gallery!
Contests
I am very happy to bring back the weekly Art Gallery competition after months of it being down.
If you remember from waaaay back, you might recall that our last theme was Aywas Pottery/Sculpture and we had a lot of fun entries. Here's our six winners that finally get to be shown off!
They won:
Congratulations! :3 And enjoy your prizes.
Here is our new upcoming theme lineup!
Aug 12 - Aug 18: Ay Universe
This will make more sense soon...
Aug 19 - Aug 25: Ara and Ay Landscapes*
Aug 26 - Sept 1: Paleos
The gallery will be judged every Sunday, so you'll notice that the dates for all the themes now run Sunday thru Saturday.
While I have your attention, I also want to reiterate some Art Gallery rules--all of which are posted directly on the gallery page, so you have no reason not to follow them.
The most important one is All artwork must be your work - art thieves get banned, no exceptions!
We are not kidding with this. If I see artwork that is traced, yanked from dA or otherwise stolen, you will receive a ban. Upload images carefully.
Your submission will NOT count if you do not have your name and ID on it. Even if it's the equivalent of the Mona Lisa in Aywas form, you will not be a featured winner if you neglect this rule.
Remember: Artwork MUST FEATURE Aywas pets, Aywas NPCs, or the Aywas world in some way. If it is not obviously Aywas we may not accept it.
Thank you!

If you're a pet colorist and need an assignment, please PM me. My inbox got a little crazy. XD
Similarly, if you are an official colorist looking for work and have time for an especially quick turnaround, note that in your PM. Thanks!
