Hey all,
A super quick announcement and amendment to our Welcome To January (and Breeding Season) news post!
We have had the Wiglen in production since ~ July, it was a leftover from that set of breeding season sketches. We decided to release it this season since it's all tadpole and cute!
Along with the Wiglen, we have a group of unused sketches that our genus artist has made over the years but not used. Staff thought what we named the Lodon was a good fit for Oske x Pani, and so we had our artist finish that one up. Often our artist will sketch 3-4 poses and ideas for each genus we request (each sketch typically VERY different from the others), and the Lodon looked like it may have been a Miokit sketch. We did, however, double check with all members in authority to make sure this sketch had not been used for any other reason, and were told it was definitely available.
However, that was not the case, and this cute creature was actually a SCC made for a user back from when our genus artist made SCCs for users. (Quite some time ago!). We're not sure where our communication got crossed, but we're pretty upset that this happened and we want to apologize whole-heartedly to the user involved. ;-; <3 The user that owns the species will be more than welcome to take the 400x400 PSD and shading if they wish, along with something else we'll be sending their way.
With that, the "Lodon" is no more, at least in its official capacity! It will, however, happily jump back into it's private owner's lair with a sheepish grin and pointing full blame to the clumsy admins that kidnapped it.
So what does that mean for the breeding season?
Well, the Oske and Pani will remain genera that can be made with the Seasonal Voucher for this season.
We will be having our genus artist finish one of the ideas we had in store for April instead to replace the Lodon. We'll post that as soon as it is ready! And the genera that make up the pairing for that new replacement hybrid will be added to this season's Seasonal Voucher options.
So with that, please make sure to read the news post below regarding the new January additions and the new breeding season. And we apologize both to the users for this confusion/inconvenience and to the specific user who was subject to our kidnapping. <3 ;;

Oh bummer, Astra's link isn't working for me. I'm super curious what the lodon looked liked.

You're welcome and looks like the link is down now. Maybe the owner of the species will make a thread dedicated to it. ^^

Okay, I'm just wondering why this had to happen, when Aywas had a hybrid creation contest in Oekaki before? Unless I some how missed it, Aywas seems to have forgotten that that contest even happened. :T

I am guessing because that is quite old now and since some of those people no longer play and the staff has changed since then, I am guessing they went with designs they had on hand to get the breeding season rolling. Otherwise, they would have had to contact every single potential person to see if they still want to art to be used and with the holidays and such that would have taken awhile. Those could be used in the future. Or at least that is what I think ^_^ ~KrimsonCreature (#55438)

My tree isn't displaying right in the contest... most of it is correct, but the Abominable Striped Snowman is supposed to be stalking that other snowman in the background, not sitting in the middle of the tree, lol. And the morning star is supposed to be atop the tree, not directly behind the screaming baby birdies... other than that, it's correct. I know it can't be changed now, but maybe y'all will have time to look into correcting whatever glitch caused this? Anyway, it's not a huge deal, but it's sad I won't get to make people laugh by them casually noticing in the background that that Snowman is about to get it! Uh oh! Lol.

♎ Astra ♎ (#16365) ahh, thank you! I tried briefly to alter a link name to find it, but I didn't try hard enough evidently! Thank you, though I must agree I'm glad we're getting something else (even though it is very cute!)!
