The first monthly prompt is live! See below for details; submissions may be linked I'm this thread or submitted via our Discord channel!

The Great Indoors

Ahh, spring. The sun is sticking around a little longer during the days, warming the earth and waking up all things green. Plus with less storms blowing through the neighborhood, the WiFi signal is much stronger, invigorating the Pixis! Soon enough, you’ll be able to go outside and play and take in the world after a long, cold winter.

But when you wake up in the morning, everything is white! It looks like winter is being stubborn this year, so much that you’re snowed in! At least the WiFi is still on…

When you can’t go outside, what do you do? You could build a blanket fort and go camping, try a new recipe you found online, or create a new world to explore on a video game. The possibilities are endless!

Portray your PixiPet finding a way to bring springtime indoors! You can draw or write your submission, and will have until 4/1/2020 at 12:00 AM to submit your entries. If drawing, you must show at least 50% of your Pixi in the image, with a simple background and at least two props. If writing, the entry must be at least 500 words. For both, entries are judged on effort, not skill.

You will be awarded with: 2000 PixCoin and 1 Grooming Ticket of your choice!

What's this?! Something is happening in 2020 to the Pixis! So far, TAMA has shared this image, but it looks really blurry. I wonder what it is?

Pick a color, get a pet! Pick a pick a PixiPet!

You remember that jingle like it was yesterday. Everything had a virtual version around the turn of the century, especially little pocket-sized pets you would care for, feed and trade with your friends. But...the fad of the new millennium wore off, people forgot, toys fell out of fashion. Only collectors seem interested now, grabbing up rare variants on eBay or yard sales. What happened to that feeling? And wouldn't you love to experience it all over again?

Half the fun is not knowing who you get! Collect and trade 'em - PixiPets!

What is a PixiPet, exactly? They came from space!

You want to know more?

PixiPets have gotten lonely surfing the information highway for years and years, and now they just want a home to call their own! After you purchase special device that your Pixi lives inside, their shape and color will be revealed! Remember: the color of their device is a hint to the color you will get! And sometimes there are rarer PixiPets! 1-2 per case will contain rare features, such as glitter, stickers, flocking, glow in the dark markings and more. Uncommon traits happen, too, like different colored eyes, multicolored hair and more!

(PixiPets are a nostalgic nod to the virtual pets craze in the late 90s and early 00s. Their designs are inspired by Tamagotchis, Giga Pets, anime, pet sites and Y2K aesthetics. They are sold as blind boxes, which unlock 2 screens and character art when purchased. New traits and species may be added as the designs evolve over time!)

The Rules

☆ PixiPets are a closed species! They can be bought from the creator, traded for, or won in special events. Please do not create your own unless a MYO event occurs!

☆ Buying art from other artists of your PixiPets, or drawing art of your adopted PixiPets is fine. But please do not create your own designs outside of events!

☆ PixiPets may not be sold for more than their purchased value! Value may only be added through additional art.

FAQ

Do PixiPets come with a name?

Nope! They come without a name, which allows you to create one and bond with them!

Are PixiPets breedable?

Pixis are biologically neuter, but happy with whatever pronoun you find them gravitating toward! But they cannot breed. They are not interested in NSFW activities!

Can I change the color or features of my PixiPet?

Pixis spend a long time finding their features, so changing them might be rude! They love accessories, though.

Where did PixiPets come from?

Space.

This is a cute idea, I loved virtual pets~ I was never able to get one, but would "babysit" my friends' during class. XD

I grew up right at the tail end of the pastel 80s right into the neon and rainbow of the 90s and 00s, and I refuse to relinquish the aesthetic! And thank you so much, your comment is so kind!
