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 ;;

Loveless (#19023) Actually it's in the ToS, once they submitted it they gave the site permission to use it however it sees fit so they wouldn't HAVE to contact anyone tbh. Now they might decide/feel the need to. But they are protected by the ToS.

That's definitely possible, but considering that was their first ever contest with the oekaki, you would think it would have been followed through or that we at least would be told about it if it were cancelled. >.>
Awww, thank you! <3

Farewell cute little Lodon! I'm sorry to hear about the mix up, but it's great that you were able to get this situation resolved quickly and kindly! I'm sure the owner of the species really appreciates it <3

My tree also doesn't look correct; a couple of pieces have been moved - I even opened the edit screen in another tab to double-check - and it throws off the over-all look...All the trees I've seen so far (over 200, cuz I have 4 crackers now) look nice, but of course there's no way to tell if they're showing up as designed.

I didn't notice that the trees might not be displaying right until I seen my own tree. Two items are misplaced! The tree topper and a deer are in my middle of my tree. :/

So it seems all tree toppers are being displaced into the middle of the trees, cuz that's how mine is, too... ♎ Astra ♎ (#16365), that sounds really cute! One of the items that moved from mine was a set of animal tracks placed strategically behind a fauna and now that's not being properly represented.

Yeah, my star topper is sitting at the center of my tree as well *nod*
