｡･ﾟﾟ Sentimental Stuff Ahead ･ﾟﾟ･｡



One year ago today, I opened Skullies without much expectation that this would go anywhere. I’d come off of a nine year hiatus on the site specifically for this project and I wasn’t sure of the landscape of the site any longer and really only knew one other active user in my sibling, Kairi.

I dropped our first litter that day, the Horse Litter, and all 8 were snapped up within the first day and I was surprised to say the least. So much so that I rushed through our second litter and released it 3 days later (the Succulent Litter).

I had never really been involved in the UMA community aside from a few Oekaki drawings back in the day and the passion for these guys that the community showed straight out of the gate still blows my mind.

I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating, I am eternally grateful for each and every one of you who have let me into your little corner of the world.

Things haven’t been the easiest this past year, and there have been times that I’ve wanted to throw in the towel. And then I’m reminded by some inside joke on the discord, or by my insanely weird and loving staff members that the skeletons got beaten up for bones that day in explore, or by my seemingly endless to do list that there is work to be done still, and I’m so happy that we’ve made it a continuous year to this point. It is surreal to me.

The community that has grown around this art project is something that I will always love and hold fondly, even if there comes a day when we part ways. You are important, you are valued, and I’m so happy that you’re here with us.

Here’s to our first year down, and here’s to many more ahead of us. I don’t know what the future will bring, but I’m excited to find it alongside you all.

—--------------------------------

Later today I will be going over statistics, new variations, prizes, and the literal month-long celebration of raffles and prizes for everyone along the way. But right now it’s 3am and I need to use the sleep.

(Part 2 of earlier today’s more sentimental things)

Okay! We’ve arrived at the more technical aspect of things!

There are a *ton* of new variations, and the front page has been updated to reflect them all (there’s still one more coming that will be released this month as well, I'm still working with the team to finish it up).

Tails
Feather Tail
Husky Tail
Lab Tail
Otter Tail
Bladed Tail
Kyrin Tail

Ears
Basset Ear
Ribbon Ear

Horns
Unicorn Horn
Crested Horn
Double Horn
Warlord Horn

Backs
Cowlick
Bog
Winged
Barbary

Manes
Wild Mane
Guardian Mane

Other
Belly Fur

—----------------------

The “Other” category has now been expanded to be a proper category much like the rest! This has always been where Fey Touched lived, and going forward, like the other variations, you will only be able to choose one from this category (like the same way that you can’t have 2 horns). This is where different things such as body types will live as well!

Now on to the plans for the month!

Through out the month of September, you will be treated to MULTIPLE raffles of skullies, companions, and exclusive items both in the thread, and is the discord (some will be discord exclusives, or provide you a second chance of winning items and companions). This includes Decayed, Fey Touched, Flocked, and to start us off with, our very own staff litter coming later today!

But that’s not all.

There’s also going to be a very special raffle for customs. Throughout our first year, we have reserved the IDs of 100, 200, 300, and 400 for this very purpose. This raffle will take place next week and will award the winner with a free custom with the special ID that they’ve won.

—---------------------

Now on to some fun statistics!

In 1 year, there have been 350 skullies released to the public with OVER 425 made including unreleased litters and unfound explore skullies which is absolutely mental to me. (It’s slightly over 425 now since the Staff Litter is still getting their IDs atm).

We had a great time playing the guessing game in discord and here’s the results! I will be pinging anyone who won in the guessing game in that channel in discord to coordinate your prize!

Here's to another wonderful year of lovely Skullies! ♡
While I'm not part of this community yet, it's amazing to hear how well everything has gone and read all the interesting statistics. Lots and lots of good luck and vibes for the future.
( And sleep well too! )
