A few of them already have established queues as they rejoined the team, but most have super low wait times, if any! The active artist list included in the status thread has been updated to reflect their queue status.
Did you know that Platinum Breedings have their own knowledge base article? If you have any questions which you think it should address, please feel free to leave a note in the status thread, I'd be happy to integrate them.

Basically, just message me if you notice a problem and I'll fix it up. I receive trivia material from a dedicated writer, and since we're human mistakes and typos do happen. We'll be taking extra care with the material going forward, but if something does slip through, I'm happy to fix it. Thanks!)

Tsunami Potion Change/Fix!
Site Update
If you are the owner of one of these rare potions, you know that as our only regenerating custom maker, the item has been a bit wonky for a while, and gone through several fix attempts, none of which truly stuck.
So! We've made a change to the item that will get you your Selkies on time, and you won't have to PM me for a refund when the item disappears--because it won't anymore. :3
The Tsunami Potion still has a regeneration time of 90 days, that part hasn't changed.
However, it now has a "use" option in your inventory! Using the potion will yield one Tsunami Water.
(After the Tsunami Potion is used, it will go into your regenerating items list as it should, and return in 90 days, at which point you'll be able to use it again to receive a Tsunami Water.)
The Tsunami Water above is the new Selkie custom maker!
It still creates a custom Selkie with up to 50% edits, and is one-use.
(If some of you are in the middle of a regeneration time for an old Tsunami Potion, still PM me for a refund when it's time, but after that you won't need a refund in the future. n_n)
Oh -- and in honor of this change/fix, I'll be putting up a raffle for a Tsunami Potion momentarily. c:
Enjoy!

Adventure Pets, Raffle, & Pet Shop Stock
Pets
A new group of Adventure pets has arrived to play!
Also, congratulations to Frost (#4211) for winning a Bronze Custom Crystal in our monthly pet submissions forum raffle! This raffle was drawn a few weeks ago but since the pet upload was broken during that week the announcement was delayed until now. :3
If you want to design some Adventure pets, go and post them in their respective threads here! Remember, you can earn SP!
Xero would like to give everyone a warning that the Little Pet Shop of Horrors will get a new stock of pets in January! So you have until December 31st to buy any from the current stock before they're permanently retired.

Art Gallery
Contests
The art gallery has been judged!
The theme was Feast and we received a smorgasbord of fun entries!
Here are our featured winners:
They won:
The current theme is Seasons*!
You may use any medium you want for this one. We are looking for everything from landscapes to dynamic interactions featuring some aspect of Aywas, of course! Bonus points if you feature more than one season, as the theme is plural. *wink*
As a starred (*) theme, you can enter this week's gallery even if you've won recently (or are planning on entering another theme coming up soon). :3
Official Aywas stock is not permitted for this theme.
Good luck!
