Win a Design Contest!
Contests
Ever wanted a design from some of the most famous Aywas custom designers?
Now's your chance to get one - free of charge! You get to pitch a design to each of these fantastic artists. At the end of the contest - Feb 15 at midnight - the threads will be closed and the artists will select one winner and design their custom.
Rules
- You may not bribe an artist to take your image on, as it unbalances the game and makes it unfair for users who cannot afford to bribe
- You may only pitch one design per artist
- You may pitch a design for any pet genus you like, provided you have the means to make the design
- You may not pitch a design based on any copyrighted character or concept
- Please do not ask an artist to redraw an existing custom

Have fun pitching your designs to the artists! We may have another artist or two join this contest - I will alert you if that is the case. If you would like to be considered as an artist for this event, drop me a message!
We regret that Youko was unable to participate due to not feeling well and wish her better :(
EDIT: Nepherim and Kezze have joined :)

Pet Suggestions Changes
Mauri has changed some of the policies of pet suggestions:
- the 3 GP reward is rendered each week as the coloration is accepted instead of as it's uploaded

In case you have not noticed, Kyu and Mauri made you a new Breeding Tutorial.

New Explore Pets & Trash Shop
Pets
New Explore Pets
Going to try to get into the habit of giving you new pets on Saturdays again. :)
Trash Shop Pets
Added some cool pets for you to spend your Trash Points on! (I'm going to remove the other pets in 24 hours so grab them if you still want them)
Why so lonely?
It looks like a lot of the official submissions have slowed here on the Official Pet Suggestions forum (just in case you forgot it's there).
Don't forget you can gain GP and SP by submitting site pets. It also gives us something to add.
Enjoy the pets!

Shopkeeper Images
Site Update
Updated three of the shopkeeper images. (:
Refresh the page if you can't see them.
I know I just want to steal all the stuff in those bags.
Here's the plan. I'll distract Chaos, and you grab the box of LBCs (LBCs come in boxes?!).
I SPY...APPLE COCONUTS.
Do you like them? :D

Silver Potion
Items
We've always been very impressed with people making their own SCC species and breeding them to create a whole new customizable personal species, like the Xatts, Noodle Dragons, and Apocalypse Hounds.
The Silver Potion was made to help you in your SCC-species establishing endeavors. After you've made two silver customs of your species via SCC, you can start making additional members with the Silver Potion. As Silver Potions cost roughly half the price of a SCC (40 GP), you'll soon be able to build a great breeding group.
To begin using this item, be sure to post your first two SCC members here on this thread so your future members can be accepted without any problems.
Enjoy the item!
