NEW Arrivals!

prompt bonuses: Animation, dynamic poses, +...

Everything can be found in the prompt value guide!

ANIMATION: You can now submit animated pieces for prompts (except kelp coin prompts) for huge bonuses! Calculating the wisp value for animation involves 3 main factors: base value, complexity, and frame multiplier. The formula and calculation tutorial can be found in the prompt value guide under its own section. Don't be intimidated by the long guide, it's not as complex as it looks!

DYNAMIC POSE BONUS: Drawing dynamic poses can be challenging, but Faia is all about creative development! You may apply the dynamic pose bonus to any fullbody piece for +100 wisps. Requirements can be found in the prompt value guide under art values!

MINOR UPDATES: The pet bonus has been raised from +40 wisps to +50 wisps. The simple background bonus has been raised from +150 wisps to +250 wisps. The complex background bonus has been raised from +250 wisps to +350 wisps. And lastly, event quests can now be completed by characters you don't own (with gift art turned on)!

Paint pigments

To make obtaining seasonal paint palettes (site themes) easier, Paint Pigments have arrived! Pigments are boxes that can be opened for a paint bottle of choice from a certain seasonal palette. They can be crafted using any 3 paint bottles from their respective season. Pigment crafting recipes can be found in the seasonal shops for free!

Official draw the faian above you

An official Draw the Faian Above You game has been set up! It can be found in the discord server under the Games Emporium category. Have fun art-trading!
