Happy February!

I hope you've all had a lovely first month of the New Year! Its finally February which means it's our anniversary month!! On February 15th it'll be 1 Year since we've had the website.. Can you believe that? Because I can't!

We want to give a big shout out to our amazing members for sticking with us through the change! I know it's been a heap of new things to get used to, but this has honestly been so much better mentally for myself and my mods. It's always been a big dream to own a website like this... And I'm just so happy I could make that come true!

Birthday shout outs!!!!

Monthly Features

Congratulations to our features this month!

We selected Nyxium as our artist of the month!  We loved seeing all of the beautiful character requests in our discord, welcome back Nyx!!

Our character of the month,  Observer (Irri), belongs to irri-kirrillee, Using their own interpretation of the observer in our dialogues we thought it was a perfect choice ! This was really unique and fun ♥

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT FEATURES:
Going forward, character of the month will be chosen at random from users who draw for the character of the previous month.  If no one draws for the character of the month, the new one will be chosen from mod and GA characters.

If you commission a featured artist or draw a featured character during the month they are featured, you can submit them to the features prompt for a nice five crystal reward in addition to the normal rewards you can earn for art.  Additionally, if you draw art for the featured character, you have a chance of being selected for the next featured character.  Featured artist is selected from those who draw prompts and art throughout the month.
