Just a heads up, only an hour remaining for these! o/
https://toyhou.se/~bulletins/1015707.batryes-melwyrm-quick-auction-open-

Closed, tysm!!  I'll be PMing winners shortly!

~~

I had really, really wanted to do a bigger/fancier adopt in time for halloween but I just wasn't able to find time around my commission list.  So instead, I have one final little surprise batrye batch for the year + a pair of chibi melwyrms (that were meant to be autumn inspired but one decided they wanted to be something completely different lol).
This will be a quick 12ish hour auction, starting now and ending at 9pm pacific tonight.

Also, as for a mini status update: 
I've finished four of my commissions/customs over the past month and have three currently remaining.  I had super hoped to get everyone's done by the end of October but, alas, it just didn't pan out.  But progress is still happening, so if you're still waiting on me know it is indeed coming along slowly but surely, and that I very much appreciate everyone's patience with me so far.   
New goal is sending remaining WIPs out by next Saturday and finishing all three by the end of Nov!

Aaa these went quick!  I've decided to do a bigger batch of super mini-styled batryes at some point either this month or next.  Ideally I'd like to put them out in October, too, but I wanna do something fancier first and I'm not sure I'll have time for both this month.
So if you missed out this time, do keep an eye out for those!

Here we are! 🦇🦇🦇

As always, these follow my standard adopt TOS.  
$200 flat.  Paypal only.
First come, first serve - just comment the number to claim!
These come as-is!

1. Left
traits: batrye / common
claimed by: ankiwi

2. Middle
traits: batrye / tinted
claimed by:  ankiwi

This'll be my first batch of spookies!  I'm not sure if I'll do more batryes or something else, but there will definitely be at least one more halloween themed adopt posting towards the end of the month.

As for these, I'll be aiming to have them up around 6pm pacific tomorrow (so roughly 24 hours from now).  If this changes for whatever reason, I'll be sure to edit this with a new ETA!
They will be $200 flat, however I am willing to accept 1 (only one!) preclaim for $400 if anyone is interested -- which will include whatever edits (within reason) you'd like. (preclaim spot for 3 taken! 1 & 2 will be available for $200 tomorrow at 6pm pacific!  Keep an eye out!)

Keep in mind these are very much still WIPs!  Markings are still being worked out, and colors may end up adjusted still.  But this should at least give an overall idea of what direction I'm going for with each.   
1 - common
2 - tinted
3 - prism - preclaimed!!

Edit: All taken, thank you so much!!  I'll be doing my best to have a something (or two) in the later half of the month for spooky season.  I'll be sure to do previews with those, so keep an eye out!
I may or may not drop another surprise mini adopt/small batch during the first half of the month, as well, but it depends on how the rest of my work goes.  Not making any hard promises on this one.

~~~~~~~~~~

Happy spoopy month!   

Firstly, just a wee to-do list update: I've got two pieces just about at the finish line, three still in the WIP/ironing out phase, and two more ready for clean-up.  I'm focusing the two I'm nearly done with first, then I'll get the remaining WIPs sorted, and after I'll start going down the clean-up list.  It's a bit slow going, but I'm still aiming to finish everyone's stuff up by the end of October.   

In the meantime, here's some smol doodley adopts!

First, just a little house cleaning update to those on my to-do list:
I've sent WIPs out to all but one now (last should be sometime this week!).  And my goal is to finish at least two/three things this month (specifically anything taken on before August), and the remainder by end of next month.  Admittedly my progress can be pretty slow going, though, so the tail end maaaay drag out further.  That is the rough game plan overall, though!

Anyway, on to the adopts!

Hello!  I know this is a bit out of the blue, but would anyone happen to be interested in a semi-blind melwyrm custom that's able to pay in full now?  I was originally planning to have an adopt batch up by today but they're unfortunately not quite ready. /w\

Semi-blind melwyrms are $500 (or $700 with wyrm form), and come in this art style (the left-most being an example of a past semi-blind melwyrm I've done):

For semi-blinds I only send one WIP for edits after I have the design fully roughed out.  Keep in mind I don't do extensive editing rework for these, nor do I offer step-by-step mock-ups like with my bigger customs -- it's mostly a you-get-what-you-get type thing with a little room for adjusting along the way.

I really only need one right now, though I miiigggghhhht be willing to take on two -- however the second one will probably be quite a bit of a wait, just a heads up.  So if anyone's up for it please comment to claim!

And the winners for the raffle!

Congratulations! I'll be sending out PMs shortly! :D

It's been a while and could use some extra funds while I'm still working through things on my to-do list, so I've decided to do a small MYO opening.   

I'll be accepting 8 MYOs total.  The first 4 slots will be first come, first serve.  The remaining 4 slots will be chosen through a raffle.
Since this is pretty out of nowhere, I'll leave the raffle up for a full day this time -- aka until 5PM pacific tomorrow, 7/21.  If you won a slot in my previous MYO raffle, I please ask you sit out this time around so others may get the opportunity.    

RULES:
These are being sold as non-refundable slots.  
They do not expire.
They may be resold (just let me know so I can keep tabs on where the slot is).
They may not be traded while unfinished -- only after approved (simply to save myself trade shenanigan headaches later).
Once officially approved, the designs are final and only minor editing is allowed.
By purchasing, you agree to abide by my standard adopt TOS.

Melwyrm MYO $100 flat price
Species info can be found here.

Sphaerra & Blakrye MYO base price: $40
If you are uncertain what extra traits you want, you can just buy the base option and pay for the extra traits during approval.  Unused traits won't be refunded, so please make sure to only pay for what you for sure want!
PLEASE GO HERE to view available traits, trait prices, approval forms, and free bases.

2. sprouties (blakrye)

Hello!  Don't mind me being nocturnal and posting this in the middle of the night, whoops jfkl;s  
Here's a little WIP on my current adopt batch.  I'm not entirely sure when they'll be done, but it should be sometime within the next few days.  I'll put up a new bulletin when I have it better nailed down if need be.   

In the meantime, I'll be allowing a pre-claim window for anyone who might be interested!  These can be claimed now for $250 with edits included -- otherwise I'll put them up for $130~150 as-is later (either as flat sale or AB, I'm not sure yet).

I'm still cleaning up 4, but 2 & 3 are finished! :)

1 - blakrye; prism - preclaimed!
2 - blakrye; pygmy-feral + pearl + colored currents
3 - sphaerra; scales + spiked sphere
4 - feathirfolk
5 - feathirfolk - preclaimed!
