August 2024 Newsletter!!

I didn't get to show it off in the last newsletter, as it wasn't done nor started, but take a look at the new site banner I'm sure you've seen already as you are currently on the site. (Unless, you're on mobile, then this might be your first time seeing it!) I did however get to show it off in the staff and guest artist (GA) applications held last month! So let's start this newsletter off with those instead of Saps of month this time around!

Application results

Guest Artists

Give a warm welcome to sodapawp, Andy, Martycesar, tangy, and autumnAurora as this month's GAs! Good luck out there this month as we have some cool new stuff for you to use!! Like those new Seasonal Traits! Please read on to learn more about. Keep an eye out for their amazing designs to come!!

new staff members

Welcome the new staff members! It was hard to just pick 3 or 4, so we ended up with 5 new team members! Please say hello to Nyxoom_draws, Hasthel, KennyKreate, Feline_Evil, and VultureOfTheStars as they join the team!!

For those of you that applied or looked over the apps, you might have noticed that we asked for Writing mods, that's because we're looking into accepting writing prompts as well as artwork prompts! Keep an eye on future announcements for an update on this!

New team members and GAs will get their roles here and in the discord in a bit.

Saps of the month!

I have to keep this announcement near the top! Let's get to the new featured characters!!

SMYO-094: Zeta

SO-206: Velk

SO-207: Mallory

SMYO-062: Blush

If you would like your Sap to have the chance of being choosen as a Sap of the month, please mark them as "YES" for gift art!

August's prompt - stargazing

As Summer draws to a close, the weather at night is great for stargazing! Draw a sap enjoying the wonderful night sky!

Just like the last prompt was a bit different by asking you to draw to characters, this on is different by asking for a simple background!

What's new?

New traits of course! Members that have been around for a few months know that I slide in new traits and items over time to keep things fresh! This is a bigger release of traits, that are not only new, but limited!

Interducing Seasonal Traits!

Seasonal traits that item you use for them is tied to events and/or a given time of the year. But, because these items are more limited, there are multiple traits you can choose from with just one!

The Rainbow Tear!

This item allows you to give one of the following to a Sap or MYO slot:

• Electric Eel Tail
• Coral Horns
• Scales
• Webbing
• Fin Ears
• Gills

How do you get this item? Stay tune for an up-coming event later this month that will allow members to grab one, or more, in multiple ways!

For now, looks like to made it to the bottom of this newsletter! Take a code as you go: AugustTEAR2024

And have a wonderful day!
