Spenser's Trash Shop
Spenser: So yeah, I finally felt like putting stuff in there. Sometimes I restock really cool stuff in my shop. :D So if you have imaginary trash points, spend them!
Slash says: I always knew those minipets we bought from Nutrinopets would be useful someday! XD
Don't forget to look at the news posts below this too.

Fauna
New Feature
Once you get hold of a fauna, attach it to your active pet and start battling for levels at the fauna battle page!
If the notifications get annoying, you can turn them off here.
We should have a high scores list for Fauna by exp/level in a bit! Have fun collecting them (: There's a lot out there, and more coming soon.

Pets
A-ha, we have quite a lineup of lovely creations from the contest winners!
Cash Shop Pets
BP Shop Pets
If your pet was chosen, please contact the admin Visark (#185) for your copy and your payment. (:
You'll also notice that some of the winning hybrids went up in the BP Shop! Wooooh!
Newsletter
You'll notice that Toki made a monthly newsletter that's pretty awesome. Unfortunately we don't have a feature to send it out right now, so you'll have to read it from the forums!
Monthly Potion
In the Cash Shop for 5 GP. (:
Some Announcements
- The "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" deal has now ended. Thanks for participating!
- We still don't have much news on the games/high scores, but hopefully they'll come soon, along with some new games.
- Don't forget if you turn in a Silver Custom Crystal to me, you can get free art along with it!
Melo Redraw
It looks like we're going to be having a revamp, so we're going to be working on sketches to present before we have any lineart. (:
I have a brief question for you, though, out of curiosity.
I can't help but wonder. XD
Premium Item?
I'm so out of ideas right now. What kind of premium item would you like to have this month? (: I'll choose a reasonable suggestion from this news post and make it happen! If your suggestion is chosen, you get a copy, whether you're a premium member or not (so you'd get a second one if you are).

Melo Redraw?
Pets
Sketch!
The Melo is the only remaining pet from the old art. The art itself is three years old, and has many proportion flaws.
An update would consist of:
- all new colorations occurring on the new melo base
- old lineart can be submitted for two months past the revamp completion without requiring Dawn Crystal
- existing customs have a 6-month period to convert to the new base for free
- old and new can breed together fine with LBC, where old x old = old, but old x new = new, as with all other revamps we've done
A revamp would take 1-3 months for us to complete as it is. Above is the sketch we have for our redraw melo. It is trying to be as close to the original melo proportion-wise as possible, while trying to fix some of the glaring errors on the original.
After that comes the lineart, then we start recoloring all the old colorations onto the new lineart. (: There are two ways we can go forward from here.
So, yeah. What do you want?
BTW, you can redline the sketch if you want.
Here's something a bunch of people on the forums did

Pet Colorations Submissions Revamped
Pets
Pet Colorations Submission Forum
I gave the pet colorations submissions process a revamp. Now, all submissions are made to the pet's coloration thread. Go forth and make awesome colorations, thus making that forum very active. (:
Mauri (#1010) is in charge of that forum (though I might pop in from time to time). She will edit your posts with suggestions and accepting if the coloration is high quality.
Note that when submitting new colors, use the pet's newest lineart (which will be posted on the thread).
Also, artists, note that from this point forward, when you get to the 10th coloration accepted, you get 1 SP along with your GP reward. Note that this applies only to submissions via that forum, not via contests or commissions.

Copyright Design Information + Customs
Site Update
Something to pretty up the news post. 8D
Copyright Custom Designs
This is something you all need to know if you're making a design based off characters which are copyrighted.
1. If you have previously created a custom inspired by a character, you will still need to submit it at the Character Copyright Thread. If your design doesn't meet the 60% difference rule, you will be supplied with a Dawn Crystal to fix your design. This is elaborated further in the thread.
2. Any future designs that are going to be inspired by a character will need to be submitted for review at the thread.
If you fail to follow the copyright rules, you may have consequences to face, which may include the removal of your custom without refund. More information is detailed on the thread.
edit: There is a board now, which can be found here
Customs
The Request Customs thread, Unbreedable Customs thread and the Pet Resurrections thread are now up to date. If you didn't receive your pet, or an error was made, please contact me.
Sorry for the news spam and don't forget to read the other news posts below this if you haven't already.

Updates and Contest Results
Site Update
I want to let everyone know that the Birthday Thread is now open again! If you need the birth date on your account changed, please fill out the form and post (this does not apply to posts already on the thread, just ones from now on). Visark and I will be updating your account information as quickly as we can, so keep an eye on the first post for progress info.
I also want to remind everyone about one of Aywas' fundamental rules: You must be 13 or older to play here. If you attempt to circumvent this rule by lying about your age and later reveal it, you will be reprimanded. The age requirement is in place for a reason and we will not tolerate violation of this basic rule.
Reminder: You have a little over 24 hours to request a free hybrid change-back (to the old art)! After the 29th, if you want the old hybrid artwork, you must pay for a Dawn Crystal to get the image updated.
Last but not least, I have results from the Christmas in July Design Contest!
The three winners are:
Magnus Vale (#256) - Christmas Caroler Orimi
Our judges thought that this design just screamed "Christmas" and holiday spirit with its concept. The pattern is simple but elegant and flows well with very appropriate and well-executed edits. Bravo on such a creative and aesthetically pleasing design!
Nyoko (#585) - Eggnog Meep
This Meep is festive without being blatantly Christmas-y. The judges loved how the edits accent the very tasteful (hur hur) body coloring and overall concept! Great job on executing such a nice idea.
Lassie (#5182) - Festive Drylis
Some of our judges said that this design reminded them of candy, while others thought of a Christmas tree decorated with ornaments and tinsel. No matter what you see, it's very clear that this dragon is a Christmas creation, and it put us all in the holiday spirit!
Now, for our five Honorable Mentions (and trust me, this was a close race!):
Saturn (#497) - Santa Meep
Skitty (#543) - Abominable Snow Chiro
Beer (#728) - Festive Cheve
Ori (#6762) - Reindeer Ryba
Vix Pumpkinsnake (#7131) - Pajama Lacer
Please contact Visark (#185) for your prizes! Thanks for the entries, everyone, they were a real joy to look at.
Stay tuned for more updates and don't forget about the crystal sale!
