The art gallery has been judged!
The theme was Egg Hatching and we received many creative, adorable entries offering a little more insight into how hatching looks up close!
Here are our featured winners:






They won:


Congratulations!
The current theme is Recreate an Aywas edible!
Yes, your task is to make some sort of Aywas dish with actual edible food/materials.
(But you do not have to necessarily use the type of food that the item is; for example, you could use cheese to create a Carrotfish instead of a carrot, if you wanted.)
Official Aywas stock is not permitted for this theme.
Good luck!
Some new themes have also been added for the upcoming weeks!
January 19 - January 25: Opening a Locked Chest
January 26 - February 1: Miksa's Exotic Pet Emporium
February 2 - February 8: Comics
February 9 - February 15: Valentine's Day*
Thanks for the ideas! :3

New PBC Artist and switches update
Site Update
This time round we're going to switch things up a bit on the artist switches thread! It has been requested several times that the users who have had their PBC breedings in queue for the longest time get a chance to request the new artists... so for this round we're going to do just that!
SoulWings (#2995):
.
A new artist switches thread has been created, which can be found here. Please take a moment to carefully read the instructions about restricted switches.
As we will continue trying to improve the switches system and this is a test run to see how well it works, we may or may not continue this system in the future. Your opinions and feedback are always welcome.

Painted Bottle and other news
Items
A new user-suggested breeding addon item, the Painted Bottle, has been added to the USD Shop. The Painted Bottle allows you to specify a new theme for the markings and a color palette for your Breeding Coin breeding, similar to a PLBC.
As such, we have allowed an additional twenty four hour extension to Breeding Coins being available, and they will leave the shop at 11:59 PM on January 9. :)
Interesting news! A team of programmers and tech professionals familiar with Aywas contacted us expressing interest in revamping parts of Adventure to be more fun and less grindy as their university senior project. We're still hammering out the details, but if it works out, this'll be super awesome!
The moderator reviewing the Winter Silvers Contest is just about done, so expect those results fairly soon!
