Hot job! Or cold? It's autumn after all.
Site Update



Ever wanted to make some really funky mutated babies for the site? We currently have great need for some more RBC artists right now, so this is a call to those interested in mashing babies together for fun -- and science! The occasional fluke needs to be created too (but really, why would anyone want something normal anyhow? Mutants reign supreme...!) so we'd like well-rounded candidates that can also do metal colorations for the less odd offspring.
You can find the application here, in the Breeding Chat forum. Just send an email app to [email protected] to be considered. No deadline! Remember that this is also a GP paid position.
You are also welcome to bump your applications if previously sent, though newer art might be the best examples for us!
Mauri and I are excited for some new blood in the RBC force... :D

Art Gallery
Contests

The art gallery has been judged!
The theme was Halloween* and we received bags full of artistic treats! So many, in fact, that we picked a few bonus winners this week!
Here are our featured winners:
They won:


Congratulations!
The current theme is Candy Creations/Collages!
Now you can put all that leftover candy or your piles of candy wrappers to good use by creating something Aywas-themed with them! Note: If using candy wrappers with names/logos on them, please censor/remove them due to copyright.
Official Aywas stock is not permitted for this theme.
Good luck!

Welcome to November!
Site Update

Welcome to the month of November!
From brilliant ideas to brilliant colors, the GP Shop pets continue to inspire!















And the beautiful BP Shop pets keep the creativity going as natural muses!















If you colored one of these awesome pets, please contact Kyu (#1010) for your payment!
Make sure to include your PayPal address if you are opting for the USD option.
We will also be collecting pet PSDs directly from the thread, so you no longer have to send them in. However, please make sure you keep the links active for two weeks (at least until mid-November) so we have time to snag 'em for science!

The Essence of November 2014 is a nod to National Novel Writing Month!
Using this potion on your active pet will randomly change it into one of the colorations above. Try your hand at some ink and see what happens!

For the premium monthly item, we have a Canvas Tote. We're still filling up all of the bags to give out, so I will let you know when it's ready! (Should be tomorrow.)

Have a party, it's your birthday!
We are on our ninth Lunaris in the celtic tree zodiac series.
Remember, the Reed Lunaris is currently reigning over the skies through November 24th, then a new birthday feline will take over!
Don't forget to check out the birthday link to claim your gift from Aywas on your big day! Need to change your birthday? Click here!



The new monthly contests have been announced!
December Monthly Pets - BP Shop: Enter
December Monthly Pets - GP Shop: Enter
December Monthly Customs
Theme: Chocolate
Created in honor of Chocolate Covered Anything Day!
Good luck with your entries!


The Nova custom creators remain in the GP/BP Shops for November, then will cycle into the Premium Outlet for December, before returning to the GP/BP stores in January and February.



Coding Corner
A monthly update from behind the scenes.
We have another big month ahead of us! Here's a sneak peek:
- NaNoWriMo (more details about that to come)
- The long-awaited, rescheduled Fauna Day!
- Holiday festivities and surprises~
- New Raw pets are on their way! Congratulations to the "Condyl" and the moss deer concepts, our poll winners. :3 However, considering how close the races were, we'll also be in contact with designers of some other popular concepts!
- More polls are coming up on a variety of topics, so keep an eye out from posts by me asking for your thoughts on monthly essence themes, advent prizes for December, and more!
In case you missed it:
- We now have a GCC Design Showcase!
- The Welcome Back Page has returned as well! It now loads over twice as many customs as it did previously, but still needs some sprucing up.
- We also have a new, rough idea for Teo releases. As Slash outlined below, we are thinking of releasing Teo eggs through random events upon loading the page, meaning you can find one during normal, everyday play. Unlike the floating item events in the past that awarded the item to the fastest player, the Teo egg would only show up for the person that "rolled" the lucky page.
- In a minor update, the top layout search no longer loads an error when you click on a pet after searching with it.



Here's to November! *clinks teacup*
(Be sure to check out Slash's posts below as well!)
