what's that in the sky? it's the full moon.. no.. a salted egg yolk... no..... it's a lepitsune gram!!
base by me, shading + killer cert by kiku and kickass lepi design by cy!
🏮 Mid-Autumn Festival Lepitsune Grams 🌕 are here and will be opening for orders on the 27th!
these are semi-customs based on simple prompts - example grams from the previous rounds can be seen in my recent designs here!
these are a little special - you may only order them as a gift for someone else! (you're welcome to organise gift exchanges though, of course!)
how this will work is the recipient will receive a lantern that hints at the full design, and on mid-autumn festival (10th september), we'll deliver the 'hatched' lepitsune along with a little gift message!
just as last time, slots will be $90 each and we'll take a maximum of 30 total. the lepitsune in the preview will also be raffled for free on toyhouse (sorry for the change in plans!)
full info and rules to come on the day itself, and there'll be no rush to enter as all slots will be flatsale raffles + we'll be accepting all slots if the total is less than 30! HOPE YOU GUYS LOOK FORWARD TO IT!!!!!!!
hello!! just a reminder that we'll be closing for lepitsune semi-custom gram sales in 24 hours, and the two free raffles will end at the same time!
thank you guys for the warm reception and interest so far in both the grams and the server 🥺 it makes me real happy to see it....
Happy Valentines Day!!! We are now OPEN for Lepitsune White Day grams!!!
These are semi-customs on a special base exclusively for grams, with the seasonal heart-shaped wing trait. There is a possibility the base will be reused in the future for other gram events, as we hope to host more seasonal sales and activities.
Order a bottle for a friend, and it'll be sent out between Feb 21st and March 7th! All bottles will grow into fully-fledged lepitsunes on White Day (March 14th), delivered by Jay through your preferred form of contact.
✦ BOTTLE SAMPLES ✦
✦ GROWTH SAMPLE ✦
GRAM RULES:
◆ Each slot is $90. Payment is upfront, recipients will receive a bottle between Feb 21st and March 7th that hints at your design, and the full image on White Day (March 14th)!
◆ Grams may only be sent to other people! You are welcome to organize a gram swap with someone else, but you may not buy a gram addressed to yourself. Feel free to use the server to organize swaps!
◆ There are 30 slots total, flaffled through a Google form. Each person may enter 3 forms total. If less than 30 forms are submitted, we will pick all entries up.

Whew I think that's it...! Thank you guys for all your interest so far 😭! I'm a little (very) nervous about the server launch but I hope to see you there!
hello hello!! i hope everyone's having a great start to 2022!!
first off, i really appreciated all the replies and interest to my previous bulletin 🥺 i'm sorry i hadn't gotten around to replying yet as i got caught up with work at the end of last year, immediately followed by a three-week trip overseas (to see my sis for the first time in two years!! and to meet my newborn niece!!!), but i read everything and have taken it all into consideration 🙏
once again it just. really warms my heart to know people are actually interested in my work and my little critters, so thank you all for being so warm and kind 🤧 i absolutely want to get back to everyone if you don't mind a late reply....
and without further ado, onto the main agenda!! three big(ish?) announcements to follow up on everything last time!!
⭐ SERVER OPENING!
a lot of people have asked and expressed interest, so i'm excited to announce a server for both updates on my art and as a lepitsune hangout hub will be launching on february 14th!!!
we're getting everything together right now, and to kick off the grand opening, there'll simultaneously be a....
⭐ VALENTINES LEPIGRAM SALE!!
we'll be opening for semi-custom lepitsune grams for vday! these are a little special - you may only order them as a gift for someone else! (you're welcome to organise gift exchanges though, of course!)
how this will work is the recipient will receive a bottle that hints at the full design, and on white day (14th march), we'll deliver the 'hatched' lepitsune along with a little gift message!
bottle:
sample hatched design + cert:
(spoiler just in case if anyone wants to keep it a surprise!)
(feat. my lovely child by kiku who also did up the beautiful cert and bottle on top of the colouring 🥺 )
slots will be $90 each and we'll take a maximum of 30 total - submitting a form will be open to everyone, and on the launch day, a free premade raffle will also be held exclusively in the discord server!
full info and rules to come on the day itself, and there'll be no rush to enter as all slots will be flatsale raffles!
⭐ STREAMING!?
lastly, if you follow me on twitter you may have seen i've been doing some casual art streams as of late... and as of today i've just hit twitch affiliate...!! i plan to mostly just stream art and maybe play some games every now and then, so if you'd ever like to pop by and hang out and chat, you can follow me at jaywatchings for notifications!! (no pressure though)
⭐
and that's about it, thank you for reading to the end! gram ordering information will be out in full once we open, but if you have any questions preemptively or anything you'd like to say feel free to comment away!
hello and thank you all again for another great gacha last night! here's that wrap-up post i promised and i am bad at small talk so let's get right into it!!!
⭐ gacha feedback?
now that we've held several rounds of them here so far, i'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback on how they're are currently run!
they've gone relatively smoothly on our end so far, but is everything reasonable and clear for everyone, is there anything we could improve on or anything else you'd like to see... etc!
also regarding the different timing for last night's, it was more convenient for all three of us to be around, as well as hopefully covering more timezones but I realised I forgot to take PST into account 😅 would an hour or two later next round, still on a saturday, be a better time? (is that alright with fellow asian timezoners!?)
⭐ lepitsune discord?
i've had some inquiries about a lepitsune discord and i really appreciate all the interest;;;! while i'd love to run more of an ARPG and community for the species, i work full time so realistically i'm not able to run anything too big... but i'd love to do something, so would people would be interested in a general art/hangout server with a section dedicated to lepitsunes? it could be for more casual char relations or art sharing, any lore questions or art/adopt wips from me and maybe casual prompts and events... something along those lines!
(i am also thinking of streaming art more regularly next year so ... possible jay vtuber era updates...)
⭐ future plans/what you'd like to see?
lepitsunes have actually been around for almost nine (!?) years now, and i hadn't touched them for some time due to work and other artistic pursuits before we started with these gachas 🥺 so it makes me really happy to see all the interest in them these days!! i would really like to finally do a proper species guide/lore update for them next year and give people more content to work with, so that's first up on the agenda!
next, would people be interested in bigger design sales or auctions? i was also thinking of offering base transfers (especially for people who have.. ancient vintage lepis...) and maybe invite more guest artists for general designs or even the gacha to spice things up! if there's anything else you'd like to see just let me know!
I THINK THAT'S ABOUT IT sorry if that got a little rambly!! if you made it this far thank you for reading, feel free to share your thoughts or literally anything you'd like to say!
i'd also like to say yet another big thank you for all the interest in them lately... again, lepis have been part of my life for so long and are very dear to me, but i've never had that much confidence in how interested people would even be in them after all this time... so it just sparks a lot of joy seeing people like my little wish-granting fairy foxmoths 🥺 so thank you all so much!!
and of course thank you cy and kiku for all your kickass designs and teaming up with me each time and minsu for all the constant moral support.. i love u guys....
thank you everyone again for all your interest and another successful sale!! we really appreciate it every single time 🥺🙏
just a few pending payments left so I've gone ahead and rolled the results now!
i hope everyone got something they wanted, and if not you can pop over to the trading post!
lepis will be sent out shortly to all those who've paid so far! i'll also have a bulletin up (hopefully soon) for any feedback anyone might have and possible future plans!
thank you again and happy holidays, see you all in 2022! 💞
⛄⭐ Welcome to the fifth round of Lepitsune Gacha!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ⭐⛄
(open image in new tab to see larger versions)
This round features 30 designs on three bases by me, kiku and cy - we have both the usual random gacha option as well as a CYO (choose your own) option for a premium price to guarantee a specific design.
Regular rolls will be $50, and a CYO roll will be $90.
◆ RULES: ◆
◆ This is a one hour preview before claims open - do not claim during this period, I will post a comment when it opens at :00. You won't be required to reply to it but comments before :00:00 will not be counted. (in the case that my comment is late and your comment is posted after :00:00 but before mine, your comment will be fine!)
◆ Once it's open, reply to claim with the amount of rolls you'd like to purchase! You may roll and/or CYO up to 5 at once but there's no cap on the amount of rolls you can buy in total, just post a new comment (this is to give everyone a chance to post rolls). Once I reply approving your claim, please PM me your paypal address so I can invoice you.
◆ If you'd like to buy a specific design, please state the number assigned to it that will be shown in the graphic! eg "I'd like to claim #14 and one roll!" Be clear if you mean the lepi number, or number of rolls/claims you'd like to make (eg "3 rolls please" vs "#3 please").
◆ Note that preferential/back-up claims (eg 'I'd like to claim #5, if that's taken then #4, if that's taken then #3') will not be allowed. You may only comment with what you're willing to buy (eg 'I'd like to claim #5, #4 and #3').
◆ Please note that a CYO claim is different from a regular roll and will not be automatically replaced by a random roll if already taken! You are welcome to make another claim or request a random roll if someone else claimed your initial CYO first, but it must be in a new comment.
◆ Please do not edit your comment! If the one you wanted got taken, please make an entirely new comment. In the interest of fairness, any edited comment will be passed over regardless of what the edit is (including fixed typos), so please be clear when making your claim.
◆ The gacha will close automatically when 30 claims (rolls and CYOs combined) are made.
◆ If 30 claims are not made within 2 hours from opening, the first batch of claims will be rolled. At this time, all CYO claims will be processed first before the random rolls, and the rolls will be done in claim order from the remaining pool. This is to give people the chance to use the CYO option! After this initial 2 hour window, all claims will be processed on a first come first served basis, e.g. if someone requests a roll and another user claims a specific design afterward, the gacha roll will be processed first, even if this means the design the subsequent user chose becomes unavailable.
◆ We will ask for payment after you claim a roll. If a specific design getting claimed under the CYO option would make you want to retract your roll, please reconsider participating. This is still a gacha and you are not be guaranteed to get a specific design when choosing the random option, regardless of whether someone claimed it or not!
◆ There will be no rerolls but you may go here to look for gacha swaps!
◆ DESIGN RULES (TOS): ◆
◆ Once bought, the design is free to be used and modified as long as it's still recognisable; traits must be kept within the same rarity tiers, please run the changes by me (jaywalk) first. You may also port the design to a different form or species, but it will be bound to the lepitsune form and must go together if traded.
◆ Resells allowed only at the same price you bought it for or less, and in the case of commissioned/extra art the equivalent price can be added on.
◆ Please notify me if you rehome your lepitsune so I can keep track of who it's gone to!
That's about it! Good luck and have fun!
our next round of lepi gacha opens iiin 19 hours at the time of posting, but you can check out the timezone converter & countdown here!
unfortunately we didn't have the time to do any rafflepis but maybe next time.. clenches fist

❗❗ please note the time has changed from past rounds! ❗❗
(timezone converter & countdown!)
This will be the fifth round of gacha lepitsunes, and for anyone who hasn't seen the previous rounds, you can view the last round here and how it worked!

You may roll and/or CYO up to 5 at once but there's no cap on the amount of rolls you can buy in total, just post a new comment (this is just to give everyone a chance to post rolls).
◆ There will be a 1 hour preview before claims open - do not claim during this period, I will post a comment when it opens at :00. You won't be required to reply to it as I know misfires are frustrating but comments before :00:00 will not be counted. (in the case that I'm late and your claim is after :00:00 but before mine, your comment will still be fine!)
◆ If you'd like to buy a specific design, please state the number assigned to it that will be shown in the graphic! eg "I'd like to claim #14 and one roll!" Preferential/back-up claims (eg 'I'd like to claim #5, if that's taken then #4, if that's taken then #3') will not be allowed.

◆ Note that we will ask for payment after you claim a roll. If it would bother you to miss out on a specific design that winds up getting claimed under the CYO option, to the extent that it would make you want to retract your roll, please re-consider participating. This is still a gacha and you are not be guaranteed to get a specific design when choosing the random option, regardless of whether someone claimed it or not!
