Hello my dear watchers, I'm sure you're all aware of the inevitable change that is dA Eclipse coming and may be wondering what this might mean going forward from my end.

Many artists have decided to flee the scene, opting to twitter, toyhouse, or other such sites and I will assure you now that I do not plan on moving. You will still be able to see my finished art and posts here as usual (or unusual rather since I post like... Once every 3 months)

I personally don't mind the eclipse layout, I think it looks more up to date and cleaner, but that's my opinion. Understandably, this is a major change and has affected how people navigate throughout the site and their workflow, and while it may be debilitating to some creators, I've done my best to adjust accordingly. On that front though, as I do post infrequently here, you'll be able to catch me more and interacting on Twitter posting memes, possums, game dev updates for IF, and wips @parenthesisgrey, catch my uggo face and art on instagram under the same handle, Tumblr (not that it's in a much better state than dA as a social media platform since the super ineffective nsfw nuke) of course ALSO under the same handle if you want to ask questions or meme-ry (for my best of/fandom works that I've posted to my mostly dead ask blogs, that can be found @artpg), and I'm currently in the process of making a community/project oriented discord server to connect with you all to give some real time interaction and bonus material regarding the various worlds/characters I present here, as well as to hear about some of your guys' projects as well! So stay tuned for that ;y TL;DR : I'm not moving and I'll keep posting as usual to here as well as to a few other platforms ^^

Hello! I'm really excited to see how much enthusiasm has been built for this little species.
There's some basic rules as to how this semi-closed species works.

What it means to be semi-closed: In this case, it means that while it doesn't cost anything to create one, I ask that you ask permission before creating a pppr and run it by me so we can make it an Officialโ„ข pppr and have it registered as yours. This makes it easier to keep track of who owns which fella and adds just a bit of security to make sure no one is stealing someone else's pppr. YOU MAY CO-OWN A PPPR DESIGN, but make sure it is noted somewhere that it is owned by both and registered as a co-owned pppr. 
Another rule of it being closed means that certain traits are not always allowed to make sure the group does not become saturated with divine/rare ppprs. 

Maker rules:
  • Please ask permission before creating a pppr so we can note you as the owner and make sure your design follows the basic trait rules.
  • Follow basic trait rules (duh)
    • CURRENTLY: Free designs are allowed to use 2 unusual and/or rare traits. DIVINE TRAITS ARE CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR FREE CREATION USE.
  • If your design isn't approved, don't be discouraged.
  • CREATING, SELLING, AND/OR BUYING A PPPR INTENTIONALLY RIPPING OFF A PRE-EXISTING DESIGN WILL RESULT IN A BAN AND BLACKLISTING. If you are experiencing any design issues (either creatively or with someone else taking your design), please message an admin for help.

YOU MAY SELL/GIFT PPPRS, I please ask that you check in with an Admin before hand to notify that there is going to be a change in ownership.
  • If the design is bought, please sell it at equal or greater value that the pppr was originally sold at. If it is your own design, please contact an admin to determine the value of the pppr being sold. Minimum price is $10.
  • ADDITIONAL ART COMING WITH A PRE-OWNED PPPR MAY BE USED TO BOOST THE PRICE. It is up to the seller to determine whether or not they'd like to
  • You may change the design however you want once bought (Accessories, gender, colors, species change, ect. HOWEVER you will still need to credit me and the original designer when needed)
  • AUCTION RULES: Only serious bidders please! Backing out of a bid will result in disciplinary action and possible blacklisting.

**Things will be changed/added as needed ^^**

Current Admins:
