I want to be a guest artist!
Username: MicroMayhem
Example of art: http://micromayhem.deviantart.com/gallery/
Why do you want to be a guest artist? (Silly and serious reasons welcome): Well..It just sounds fun. I would like to help this adoptable thing. I have some great ideas for ants and decoration items.

Thank you so much!

@MicroMayhem Your farm has been updated! It will take a little while for it to show the update as it still has the same URL, so no new codedrop needed! Unfortunately, the terrarium backgrounds are for the terrarium farms only, so that is not included or taken from your bank.

@Moonstar Here's the farm! It got a bit cluttered, I almost couldn't fit all the ants... I also couldn't fit the chinese lantern in anywhere. Your total came out as 564, so keep an eye on your RAC amount if you order anything else ^_^'

Small update


The Event and Giveaways section of the front page has been removed, as I cannot keep up the achievement, and almost nobody tells me when their birthdays are. If it's your birthday, you can still ask for a gift from the thread however! The post is now Staff Applications instead.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

New Farm!



This is the Jar Farm, a reworked gel farm. It's a bit smaller than the preview, and a bit thinner, but I hope you guys like it! I'll be uploading a substrate section to the pamphlet soon, as well. I've added white sand as another substrate as well, but I don't know if anyone is interested in it just yet. We'll see, and I'd love to hear your opinions on them!




New ants!

So, I've finally made two aquatic ants! Let me introduce the Water Angler ants, and Seaweed ants! You can put them in normal farms, but all rooms will be filled with water, and they cannot live together with regular ants. They CAN be on land for a little while, so farms with both water and air work too!

Water Angler


Seaweed

OOOHHH EXCITING!!!

@Alphys. You've already ordered, so why do you ask? Just stating that you've ordered is enough ^_^ Anyways, here's your farm! Welcome to the ant family!

New poll up soon!

I have some ideas I'm thinking on, and I'd love to hear your opinions on it!

[fuiuki]

@MicroMayhem All your items have been bought and stored! Although your ant cost total came out weird, you wanted 4 soldiers and 10 workers which amounts to 36 RAC, and you wrote 60. Please check carefully when you write the costs!

Some more flags!

Our guest artist MicroMayhem has given us some new flags in addition to our lone German flag! All of the following were made by MicroMayhem with the exception of the 5 Scandinavian ones.

Japan


India



Czech Republic



France



Netherlands



Mexico



Italy



Spain



Uruguay



Canada



China



Finland



Denmark



Norway



Sweden



Iceland



Can't find your country's flag? Just ask and it will be added (if possible)!


Plans for a new store!

The poll pretty clearly shows that some of you would be interested if I opened up another Vivarium Store focused on aquariums. As you know, The Vivarium Store is a chain of stores, with ant farms being the first store. If I were to open an aquarium one, it would be much like this store, except that you buy aquariums, choose substrate, fishes, and decorations quite simply. It would most likely have some neat features such as joint aquariums, aquariums with air bubbles in them, and other cool designs! However, I'd first like some of your comments and thoughts! If you wanna discuss this then head over to the discussion thread! ^_^

Thnk you very much! My math skills must be lacking lately.

Item update

So I've been really unhappy with the farm bow for a while, and while I stay away from outlined art for the farms, this required a little bit of it... but it's not tiny so I use that as excuse. In other words, I've remade the farm bows! Here's how they look now:





If you have a farm with a bow, you can get it updated for free without problem! I hope to hear what you think of the new version, does it fit in or does it feel out of place? ^_^


I'd also like some of your help!

I'm currently making art for an aquarium store, but I'd like to know what kind of decor and fish you guys like! I don't have much of a way to reach a wide audience, so your help will be vital!

yay! they're so cool (better than they were before)!
