The submission threads for the Ghoulish Gala are now open in the Events forum! Please keep in mind that if you are submitting a pet, the site pet thread is where the design will be available to everyone. The Cauldron thread is for designs that will be given out as a custom pet during the event, which means only one person will obtain that design. The deadline to submit your entries is 11:59 PM AST on October 10th!
It's almost that time of year again - the Black Friday Sale! This year, the sale will run November 13th to November 18th. While we'll have more information for you in regards to the actual sale when it's not so far away, here's some crucial information for those who would like to participate by creating sets:
You may create a set from any of the Exotic Genera (Teo, Faux, Snoodle, or Oët). A set is 5 custom pets with identical edits, all colored uniquely. If your set is accepted, you are also permitted 1 semi-unique that you can turn in at that time or at a later date. All applications must be PM'd to Mayday Marie (#11) with the following subject line: Black Friday 2025 - [email protected] - please replace the e-mail with your PayPal address. You must PM Mayday Marie (#11) with a sketch for for approval! Your sketches must be either 200px or 400px, and they should not be a screenshot of your canvas. If you send Marie a finished product without doing this first, we do not have to accept it. If you make more sets than the ones we approve you to do, we do not have to accept them. You must also send Mayday Marie (#11) examples of your shading and coloring - please embed them as an image that does not exceed 600px and not a link. If you send more than 5 examples, you may be asked to choose which ones you feel best represent your current work. Users may only submit 3 sketches at a time. If more are submitted you will be asked to choose 3 of them to be assessed. Additional sketches will not be assessed until accepted sketches are submitted as complete sets. There will be no exceptions. All sets should be between 50% - 75%. If your set is spectacular, we will accept less edits. We are allowing very few silvers! We will not be accepting a dozen Teos that only have the tails left. All PSDs must be breedable! This means separated edits, shading, highlights, coloring, etc. We will not accept pets that are unbreedable, and we will be checking PSDs. All sets must be completed and turned in to Mayday Marie (#11) by 11:59 PM AST on November 7th!
The payment options are as follows:
$50 paid after Black Friday is over; you must sell at least one coloration of your set on Day 1 or Day 2 to be able to claim this option! 100 GP + 5 SP paid once the set is finished. No base pay, however you are granted a 75% unique of any of the exotic genera creatable this Black Friday. (You are welcome to sell this slot as well, however you must do part of the artwork for it.) 1 Black Friday Egg for the $50 Day. If you do two sets, then you can trade both payments in for 1 Black Friday Egg for the first day!The sell out bonus will work the same as it has been: should your set sell out on day 1 (November 14th) you get a bonus of $75, day 2 (November 15th) is $50 and day 3 (November 16th) is $25.
You can review this information and more at any time in the Exotic Sale Guide Knowledge Base article. If you are looking to collaborate with another artist for the sale, please make sure to review all of the information under "Artist Collaboration" in the article before applying.

Aywas, AI and Art Theft
Rules
It has come to staff attention that there are concerns about Aywas art and AI models. Please note that in regards to custom pets, Aywas has had a long-standing rule that customs must be made by hand. This rule is also the reason we do not allow stock photographs or Google images to be used in a custom design. Per the rules in the Knowledge Base:
"Photographs, images or patterns, internet-sourced or from physical media, CANNOT BE USED on an Aywas image under any circumstances, as you are rarely finding the true source of the image. As a precaution this includes photographs taken by yourself, or a friend."
In regards to AI art and GenAI training models, Under no circumstance will we tolerate AI art onsite nor does the site consent to ANY of its art and assets being used to train models. In this circumstance, Aywas assets includes (but is not limited to) the artwork onsite and site colorations, but also includes the customs hosted onsite and anything using our site species' lineart. Using AI and/or putting Aywas assets into a learning model is and will be treated as art theft, which we have always taken seriously.
Users found using AI artwork onsite AND/OR putting any Aywas asset into a genAI learning model will be permanently banned from the site. This rule will be enforced even against offsite uses of AI imagery that uses Aywas assets if it is reported to staff as we will vigorously protect our works from art theft.

PPP 2025 is REAL
Events
IT'S TIME FOR THE POOL PARTY OF 2025 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
This is where the pool (thread) is located. Make sure to bring a towel!
For those of you who are new to the party, and those who are PPPs (pool party professionals), this is the general gist.
ALL BREEDINGS THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR PPP PERKS MUST BE SUBMITTED BEFORE JULY 1, 2025. Breedings after this date do not qualify for perks!
The event will run until September 30, 2025, 11:59pm. This gives you three months to work on and design as many predictions as you can!
- The Prediction Caps are being temporarily removed for all coins during this time!
- Any artist that makes a prediction can enter themselves into a raffle by posting in the Artist Raffle Forum
- All edit percentages are "loose" for this event only, so we will not get up in your business if you submit a 50% breeding and it is 57%. If you have a 50% breeding and we can't tell what species it is, then we might have a problem.
- Remember! Predictions can be done for USD however if they are not Platinum Breeding Coin, Scribble or Sketch Breeding Coin predictions they must go through the Commission Panel!
RULES
• All predictions must have the PSD attached in order to qualify for this event.
• Breeding rules still apply! If you bought a breeding slot, for only one baby, please ensure that you have the owner's permission before making extra baby predictions! If someone violates this, they may have their baby deleted without refund.
• Please included "Prediction Pool Party" in your breeding notes, or predictions and breedings will be processed as normal!
• All artists must have a forum for their sales thread in our new Pool Party Subforum.
• All artists must have a forum for their raffle entries in the Artist Raffle Subforum.
LIST OF PERKS CAN BE FOUND HERE IN THE PERK COMPENDIUM
Please stay tuned for the Welcome to July post!
