Pets
yay!
Good sirs and madams, pray, sit ye 'round, for I have knowledge to impart!
It seems there is a little confusion over some of the finer details concerning all this line-art switching business. I have compiled below a small list of answers to things that have either been asked of me, or things I have seen mentioned on the forums.
Official Site Colouration Switches
- currently open for the Insi only. I will begin doing switches for other species when their colouration revamps are complete and announced via the News. I need them to be staggered for a reason - imagine how much mail I would receive every day were I doing Insis, Reves, Solis, Gaels, Melos, Phantos, custom switches, artist copy/pay and refunds all at the same time!
- the grace period for each species is a month long from the time their revamp is announced in the News. The Melo may conceivably be open for longer as there are [a] so many colourations and [b] it is a very popular pet.
- I do have all the old images! *pats hungry hard-drive*
- if you want the old line-art of a Maned Lion Melo, you must provide me with an actual Maned Lion Melo pet. I will not overlay old images on a completely different species.
- the only info I need from you is the colouration name alongside the pet ID to be overlaid, e.g. Purple Creeper Insi - #99999. There is no limit to how many pets you may request switched, as long as you are within the species' grace period. Just send 'em in a nice big long list and wait for the magic.
Old-to-New Custom Line-art Switches
- accepting all of the species with revamped lines.
- mutants are not eligible due to their tendency to bite with multiple heads whenever I try to do anything to them (or see the thread with word from Frey here).
- I require only the pet ID number and a link/embedded image of the new line-art you would like overlaid on the aforementioned ID.
- I do save the old images, just in case there is ever any need for them.
- you may send me as many or as few as you like at any one time. I don't expect you to wait until all your customs have been re-designed. Where would be the fun in that? :D
- the grace period is somewhere in the region of six months.
If you have a question I have not addressed, or if there is anything you would like further clarification on, feel free to ask in the comments or send me a PM.
I hope you're all enjoying redoing your customs! I've sure seen some gorgeous work so far.

Melo Recolors
Contests
Hey! Did you make a melo for the site that was accepted? If you did, here is the thread to make recolors for existing site pets.
Reward is *tentatively* 1 SP per two pets submitted, or 3 GP for any uneven additions (EG: 10 colors = 5 SP, 11 colors = 5 SP + 3 GP). May change in the future.

Cash Shop Pets Contest
BP Shop Pets Contest
As for the rest of you, October is when Aywas was released...will there be a special event to mark Aywas' first year of existence? HMMM I WONDER.

New Cash Shop Items
Items
Hey, I'd like to introduce you to some new cash shop items...
Raw Crystals
These raw crystals will allow you to make customs of the SPECIAL EDITION breed for a cheaper price than normal. The SE breed changes every 2 months, and when it is time to change, the current SE pet will be voted into either Ay or Ara where it will start releasing accepted limited colorations and will become part of the either crystal or orb custom creators.
(You may also notice there are some here)
Oske
The Oske is the first SE pet. It will be the SE pet until November 12, 2010, on which a new SE pet will be released, and the Oske will either be added to Ay or Ara.
You can get the PSD here, same with any other pet.
Cracked Orbs
Pretty self explanatory - like Shattered crystals, these allow you to create UNBREEDABLE ara pets.
Shattered Silver Crystal
Allows you to create an UNBREEDABLE silver pet. Users wanting to use this item to get free pet art can send their item and request to me and I will put it in for the silver pet artist to make, like the regular one :)
Pretend these aren't here right now, as their features aren't uploaded, but from their descriptions you can probably anticipate what they are for.
Enjoy!

Special Saturday Pet Madness!
Pets
I admit it's a little late, but. :p
Here is the mini-splosion for this 15th (closest Saturday to it, eh).
Also, so premium members know, your item will be coming out soon and it's related to the HAs. :D If your premium ran out between the first and when it's released, you can still request the item.
Here are the new pets:
Don't forget, if your coloration was released, contact Visark for your artist pay and copy. :)
Enjoy!

HA items + Overlays.
Site Update
we are pretty shocked to be wearing clothes
Gather round, good fellows, for I present to thee: new HA items.
Indeed, Peri will now be stocking some new wearables. I am sure he is positively bursting with excitement. n__n
Let us not forget Asher, either, who also has one or two more things to share.
To cope with the influx of new clothes in the Sexy Lingerie Store, I have taken out some of the old stock and will rotate a mixture of old and new every week or so. Not every colour of every new item is currently stocking regularly, so if there is something you particularly fancy, make sure and keep an eye out.
Free Custom Line-art Overlays
Now then, a few of you are ahead of the game already, but here's the official announcement: you may now submit your custom line-art overlays to me, and I will get them done as quickly as I can. This applies across all species, not just the Melos, so don't hesitate to PM me with any and all customs you have the revamped image for! For good measure I am keeping an archive of the old custom images, just in case any o' you nice folk change your minds.You have quite a while to be doing your revamps - I've been seeing figures of up to six months being bandied around - so don't panic, and take your time.
I ask you all to please remember this is likely to snowball into a mammoth task, and I am but one person - a wee bitty of patience would be much appreciated. :D
Cheers m'dears!

Melo
Pets
After a long day and night of debating minuscule changes (but hey, it made it look better), we finally came to a decision regarding the melo. It's going into a revamp, and we've fixed things as much as we could to make as many people happy as possible while still retaining sensibility to our style.
Submit new Melo Colorations!
If you are unhappy with the melo's new lines, you should be pleased to know that we are coming out with another set of crystals that will let you submit old lineart pets directly without having to make them as new lineart pets first.
Thanks for sharing all your opinions, comments, and fixes, and we hope you can enjoy the new melo. We will let you know when the revamp is complete (when all site colors have been revamped). Until then, feel free to submit old lineart melos as you desire.
There's an Ay feline pet coming soon too... look forward to it!

SITE REFERENCES!
Random Silliness
If you've been wondering.
BTW, Asher is 5'11'' so imagine him repping humans about six feet. Then do the comparisons from there.
I think I forgot some...I forgot Xaocs... DARN IT!
