update:

welkins will be closing indefinitely as of today.
the last semi-custom batch will not be completed nor posted. these were free designs and I do no have the time or energy to power through 50+.

running a uma is difficult. you end up doing a lot of free work that can be pretty time consuming.
larger umas with a large staff can keep up with things and keep things moving, do events, and offer more features such as breedings, customs, adventuring, etc.
welkins never could.

I need to focus on other aspects of my art right now and career off CS. I don't have the time to manage welkin, or find more staff, or hold events and produce more batches to potentially bring people in.

so what does this mean?

-the thread will be locked.
-the discord will be closed, but not deleted. I do recommend downloading and saving your welkin on your own, however.
-you must get permission from the artist of your welkin before transferring them to other UMAs or out of welkin. If no permission is given, you may not transfer out.
-If you do get permission to transfer, you still must credit the original artist alongside the artist who did the transfer.
-trades and ownership transfers will not be processed.

will they return?
if they do, it will not be on CS. CS is a dying site, and unless you have an already well established and large staff and community, your uma will struggle. It's not worth it, essentially. That, and the sheer amount of offsite vitriol generally makes the forums here less friendly than they've ever been.

please do not dm or message me about this decision. I will not be selling welkin. I will not be transferring ownership.
