Pets
A trend has hit Ay, I noticed... people have been making silver customs and breeding them. Thus, this contest was born: submit your already made aywas custom to be redrawn in a unique pose as a silver custom. Three winners will be chosen.
Winners will also get a recolor of your new silver so you have a breeding pair, and an LBC to start your silver custom family.
The more your already-made custom looks "unique" and not like the species it was edited from, the better chance it has of winning!
Silver custom winners' art will be done by CometTheMicroraptor! Image (c) Anatheria.com and drawn by Comet, posted as an example of the artist's work.
Submit your custom to be possibly made into a silver here!

Two days of undead fun...
Oh boy... July 5th is the birthday of our undead (well... sort of) twins, Chimera and Zave! And what do you know, July 6th is Epsilon's birthday also! I imagine there's some madness on the horizon a bit after this weekend...
How's V3 going?
It's been going great! As mentioned before, the recode's been done for a while, and we've been adding new features. So far we've added cool stuff like a rock excavation mine, fishing, a pyramid game, and a museum hunter game to add to the fun! We've also been implementing stuff from the Top Ten Suggestions thread to make v3 our most seamless version yet!
Drinks?
Drinking Game's been enabled again... ready to start your engines for JULY???
Create a Pet Contest!
Here are the finalists for the Create A Pet contest:
Now you guys choose which pet you want released on the site! Choose your three favorites, and the number one overall winner will be redrawn in our style and added as a pet for you to collect!
That was a long news post I might say.
Remember, if you created any coloration that was released in the news, you can contact BJ with the species you colored and which gender you want your copy to be!

The Random Hybrid Breeding Contest was fun and full of great success. Here are some of the babies that resulted from the random breedings:
Because it was so fun, we will be having another random hybrid breeding contest for the new hybrids. Here are the new hybrid combinations so you can think about what you want to enter:
Foo Dog - Melo x Phanto
Sea Serpent - Gael x Rogr
Basilisk - Reve x Lacer
Hydra - Soli x Rogr
Hippogryph - Oakl x reve
Venus Fly Trap Monster - Oakl x Vyne
This contest will open up around the middle of BC season, so start planning!
Here are the last two default hybrids!

Default Hybrids and Poem Contest
Pets
With the release of the new hybrids users have questioned the difference between the coloring on the original defaults versus the coloring on the newer defaults. So we want your opinion... Should we recolor the quetzal, griffin, kyre, and paleo defaults or leave them as they are? By tomorrow night this poll must have reached a 60% user acceptance in order for us to implement this. We will be hosting a contest with 12 winners in total (the 2 we like best of each species) and will hold another poll for users to pick their favorite in order to choose which entry will be the new default.
I'd also like to give everyone a heads up that along with our Monthly Pet Design, Monthly BP Shop, and Monthly Custom contests I will also be posting a Poem Contest tomorrow for July. You'll be asked to create 3 Aywas related poems and winners will get to choose from a prize pool. More details will be included when I post links to the new contests tomorrow. Judging forms for the current contests will be sent out tonight so hurry up and get your last minute entries in!
Speaking of judging contests, i'm in dire need of more judges! Don't forget to post your application on this thread and help out your fellow players!
Last but not least, the coloration threads currently found in events will be gone through tomorrow and gp will be awarded to accepted colorations in time for the BC release.

Phantos 2 + Previews
Pets
A lot of people didn't want a ghost dog, so we'll be keeping the phanto roughly the same. We have a redraw that has the phanto the same as it was in the original, then we have a redraw of Skitty's design that she submitted in the news comments:
Also, remember, July 1 - 9th is BREEDING COIN SEASON!!! Breeding coins will be in the GP Shop for 75 GP as they always are. Here are the defaults for the new hybrids coming out during breeding coin season (sans the foo dog, as its not done yet):
Gael x Rogr | Vyne x Oakl
Soli x Rogr | Oakl x Reve
Okay, enjoy! The foo dog will be done in time for the BC release but you'll have to be surprised when you see its default ;)

Phanto Changes
Pets
Hi guys! Here's something I've been thinking about: many of you seem to really dislike the phanto, and I'd like to ask: why? Is it because it's not animal-enough? What about the design or pet in general do you dislike?
We have been considering changing the phanto into a ghost dog-like sort of thing (not necessarily a dog, but a ghost quad). Would you like the phanto more this way? Do you prefer it the way it is now? We want you to be happy!
Please share your thoughts!

Avatars
Pets
Ever notice that some users don't have avatars on the forums? I am going to be opening an ongoing event thread for anyone to submit an avatar to be used on a graphics page in V3 - graphics like avatars, banners, etc that can be used by any user!
Submit avatars here! If they're accepted you get 1 GP per avatar!
Please note that quality over quantity is appreciated for avatars!
