Divine (#413)
Divinity is a regular sight in the Help forum, answering questions and giving advice to any that seek it. She's even offered her knowledge and assistance to those with more troubling issues posted in Ask the Admin a number of times, as opportunities arose. Not only that, but she also spends time in the Rants forum offering friendly words wherever she can.
As the user spotlight winner, Divine won a breeding between these two pets:

Linorm
Pets
Linorm
The new Linorm won by a landslide.
You can get its PSD here: Linorm coloration thread. As this pet was recently revamped, colorations submitted to the Linorm thread and accepted by Mauri will receive an additional 1 GP payment until further notice.
Free Linorm Customs
If you have some ideas for Linorm customs already, why not try submitting the image here for a chance to get your custom uploaded for you for free? A handful will be picked to upload on March 1ts.
Free Valentines Customs
There was a lot of art that we weren't able to add to the site as site pets for Valentine's - so we're going to be giving them away for free.
Join the NPC Nova on this thread on Feb 23, 1:00 PM aywas time, for a chance to get a pet of yours turned into one of the excess Valentines pets as a custom.
EDIT: Posted instructions on the thread. It's basically a slower version of Risk, and random.
Orimi
Staff has been debating long and hard about the Orimi. A few have had the suggestion to keep the Orimi as it is and release the standing pose as an alt lineart (which means you can make it with orbs like a normal Orimi, but it can only breed with other standing Orimis and not regular Orimis). What do you think?

Seasonal Shop & Linorm
Site Update
Hi guys, wanted to remind you that:
The Seasonal Shop is closing at midnight tonight.
Due to popular request, the sold out items (some pendants and the engagement rings) are going to stock one more time at 11:30 PM aywas time, so if you want a chance at them, be there. (:
And here's a new pet lineart for you to vote on:
vs. 
NEW - OLD
As for the Orimi, it looks like you guys want the majority to win, and the majority is voting for the standing pose - however, we're still going to keep the poll up to get more opinions. Staff is talking about the results, though, so when we get a finalized answer we'll get it to you. :)
Staff does note that you have some comments about the standing pose that we're going to try to fix in the event that 1) majority wins, 2) standing is picked.

Last orimi post
Pets
Okay, I have one last orimi post for you (then we'll get into letting you vote on the linorm and the drylis...but that'll come tomorrow or the next day).
The previous poll shows that approximately 90% of the respondents want a change in the orimi, meaning one of the below linearts.
Here are your linearts, in final size:
The below poll will ask you to vote between them. If one of the options wins the poll at 70% or more, the change will begin. If neither option can reach 70% or more, the orimi will remain the same as it is right now.
So please think about your vote, then go ahead and let us know what you'd like!
EDIT
Would you prefer that the majority win this poll instead of 70%? Tell us below.

Orimi
Pets
I read through the comments on the news post and wanted to give you a couple more things to look at:
Here's what Kuit made you with a re-draw of the bottom half, since that was requested a couple of times.
And here's a new sketch she made you in case you are more interested in another pose.

Do you want an Orimi redraw?
Pets
Do you want to keep this redraw?
.... 
NEW LINES .................. OLD LINES
A couple of people have asked us to redraw the orimi. We have done that and now you get to decide whether you want to keep it. You cannot has redraw unless 70% of the vote is in favor if it =0
This poll will close February 21.
Please do not comment on the new image with redlines or anything like that - we do not plan on changing it, please just utilize the "old" opinion in the poll above. Thank you!

Concept Art Contests
Contests
There are two contests about to kick off: pet concept art contests. Essentially, you will be able to design the next quarter's hybrids and the next month's raw crystal pet. The threads with the highest amount of User Support win.
| 
Hybrid Concept Forum | Raw Crystal Pet Concept Forum
Basically, you can submit a thread with your concept in it. Your job as a user is to view the threads and post your support for any concepts you would like to see onsite. As mentioned, the highest supported threads will be introduced onto the site.
After a winner is selected, that round's threads will be wiped and the contest will be re-opened fresh for the next round.
Raw Crystal concept contest ends March 1, and the winning design will be released March 15.
Hybrid concept contest ends March 10, and the four winning designs will be released April 1.
Enjoy, and don't forget to look over the sub-forums as often as you can for designs to support!

We have a new user spotlight:
[ TK ] (#8942)
She's been around for a few months, but being a newer member did not stop her from leaping in to help those who have arrived after her. Her new user giveaway thread was created only nine days after joining Aywas and remains active to this day, consistently offering a bit of BP and a free pet to new users in need.
As user of the week, she won a breeding between:

JayJay (#2916)
I just love the textures and the way this entry was set up. I also love the paint job. It came out gorgeous! A lot of love went into this entry and I'm happy to award it as winner. :)
So, JayJay wins her own Explore region... should be interesting to see what she comes up with!
Scav Bites won't resume until next Monday to give you time to focus on the Valentine's event.
Enjoy!
