Pillowing-Pile Spotlight!

PixelRaccoon

and their Lintling Snowball!


Thank you PixelRaccoon, for being a lovely member of our community and for purchasing a Spotlight!
Snowball's Archive page is right here for any trait references!
Please reference the above image, or the "Current Ref" image (if applicable) when doing artwork of this month's Spotlight.

The above Spotlight is the short version of [20/Aug-20/Sep 2021] PixelRaccoon's Snowball, as we have a couple of other fun announcements to include as well~

With this spotlight rotation, we would like to announce that we have adjusted the Clovercoin (cc) rewards for artworks made for it! Now each fullbody drawing of the Spotlight Character will earn users 175cc instead of the previous 150cc, and the maximum cc earned per Spotlight submission has been raised from 300cc to 400cc! This means you get to earn a little bit more just for showing the spotlight design some well earned attention <3

Thrift Store

With the addition of increased rewards for the Spotlight Character, we are please to also announce that there's a brand new folder in the Pillowing Pile!
As many of you know, the Thrift Store is a place where Pillowings go to find new homes and users are able to purchase new friends using the group currency. Well, users are now able to get an extra cc reward for drawing the characters currently looking for a home in the Thrift Store as well as our Thrift Store Mascot, Norman! 

About the Folder:
• Once a character is purchased from the Thrift Store, you can only submit artwork of them to the folder for another week. After that, it will no longer count as Thrift Store art and will be General Art instead.
• Only 2 submissions may be submitted to the folder, per week, for these rewards.
• A background is not required for these to count.

CC Rewards:
• 150cc per Fullbody of a Thrift Store Character or Norman
• 50cc for including a background (Must provide a clear setting and be more than just props)
• 50cc per Headshot/Halfbody of a Thrift Store Character or Norman
• 5cc per Headshot/Halfbody of Non-Thrift Characters
• 10cc per Fullbody of Non-Thrift Characters
• 300cc Maximum Per Image

Reminders

With the two big updates out of the way, we would like to just provide a couple of more minor reminders. The first one is that the Prompt Pack Rotation is still currently on the catch up event. This means you can do any of the past prompts to get the rewards for them! And once we get back to proper rotations, some of these prompts will not be seen again. More information here.

Finally, we have the Pillowing Daycare. This is a journal on Deviantart, where you can drop off your pillowings for other users to draw. Any pillowing that's currently in the daycare can be used for the increased daycare cc rewards, or as extras for prompts or general artwork! This is basically a place where Pillowing Owners can drop up to three registered pillowings to grant others permission to use them in artwork for the duration of their stay in the daycare.
This being said, to the users that currently have their pillowings in the daycare, please take a moment to make sure that you have replied to the Form Comment and that your submission is still up to date. From time to time, the Pillowing Pile staff will go through every comment there to make sure that things are still up to date. If the pillowings no longer belong to the user that posted them, there are multiple posts by the same user, or a comment was left rather than a reply, these messages will be removed without warning.

Sign-Off

Thank you so much for reading through this update post with all the tweaks, updates, and reminders that we have made today. We of the Cloverse Staff have just one last reminder for all of you. Without the lovely community and wonderful support and patience that you show us, the species within this group would not be even close to what it is today. It's the community and each individual within it that makes this group (across all platforms) what it is today. Each and every one of you is valued and appreciated~
