Pets
We had a bit of a delay with this contest due to the bustling in the background this month, and because we are getting some additional artwork for the Trillaling based on pet feedback. :3 The default Trillaling base will remain unchanged, but we are going to offer a reshade for you to use if you like, as well as an alternate lineart that Kuitsuku is working on. There will be an announcement when those are available!
Since we have so much going on behind the scenes and are going into our busiest months, we're also temporarily adjusting the Raw pet timetable. Instead of the Trills switching out this month, they will remain until November 15th (when our next raw pet would be introduced). At that time, we will release 2 raw pets, which will be the winners of our raw pet concept contests that you'll be voting on shortly. This will maintain our two-month raw cycle and keep the total raw pet number for the year where it should be.
I hope that makes sense! We have a lot of awesome things to squeeze into a short time for everyone, and this little adjustment will help out a lot. :)
Now, back to voting!
Remember, the coloration with the most votes will become an official site pet and reside in the BP Shop for approximately two months. The rest will be given away as customs through various methods. n_n
You have until Thursday, September 4th at 11:59 p.m. to cast your vote!

Congratulations!

Good luck!

Community Tip Jar Projects
Site Update
Community Tip Jar Projects
This is probably not an appropriate jar, but we will pretend it is.
Community Tip Jar Projects is a section of the forums newly opened up. It is designed to allow artists to make real money off their designs for community-driven projects.
SCENARIO #1: In the first scenario, an artist can set a "tip jar" monetary threshold in which they will create a free PSD for anyone to use.
SCENARIO #2: In the case where you want to limit the number of PSDs or you make premades (without rules, exception being 'one custom per PSD/design') for your tip jar design, you can choose to run a free raffle with a minimum of five winners (maximum is up to you).
Read the extended rules and explanation here.
Have fun creating projects! We'll be closely watching this section to see how it turns out.

It's Over
Site Update
You can now climb out of the fiery depths -- the last of the Teo designs have been claimed and the item has been turned into a Special Collectable as promised.
Aywas Staff is significantly tired of Teos and will be taking a short hiatus from all things Teo-related. We plan to resume dropping eggs in the adoption center and breeding in November to give the rest of you a break too. Just so you know!
Now, for the next big thing...
