And now an interview with Bugwings, a new sylestia artist!
1. What is your favorite piece of art you've made?
Lately I've been trying a more detailed/realistic style than what I usually do, and I'm really proud of what I've been doing with that, so it's hard to not say it's one of those pieces, however looking back on my more simplistic art I have to go with one of those.
Specifically, this piece, it ended up looking exactly how I envisioned it when I started and I have to say I'm really proud of it
2. What do you like doing most in a drawing? (lining, coloring, shading, etc)
It's a close tie between shading and lining! There's something about doing lineart that I find to be very calming, though shading is extremely satisfying as it really brings the entire piece together.
3. How long have you been drawing for?
All my life! I used to ask for copy paper and pencils for my birthday just because of sheer amount of it I went through.
4. Do you prefer traditional or digital art? Why?
Currently I would say I prefer to do digital art, though I only recently got a drawing tablet, and before that I was doing it on my phone. At that point in time, I much preferred traditional sketches and painting.
5. Anything else?
I tend to mostly draw fanart to be honest, however I started doing commissions just this year and it's gotten me to step out of that comfort zone a bit. Though I still enjoy doing fanart the most, and using other's art as references, I think it's helped me improve a lot over the years.

Hey! Its Lark here, and welcome to the brand new Ghost Stories section! Here, Ill be posting some, well, ghost stories xD
Note: Stories/ideas are not originally mine, but they are rewritten/edited by me.
One night after at our schools annual Halloween party, my friends and I were up late, having agreed to try out my friend's Ouija board. It wasn't the brightest idea, but we were bored, and wanted a thrill.
We found a spot under a tree and proceeded with our haphazard ritual. There were five of us, two boys and three girls, and we were all expecting some kind of paranormal contact. There were rumors that our school was haunted, but wed never experienced anything firsthand. But it was Halloween, after all, and we wanted to be spooked. None of us had seen an Ouija board first hand before, so we were pretty excited.
Our school was an old Spanish colonial house, built in the 1800's. We were in a section of the school that didnt get used often. Located beside a creepy old Jesuit house, people only went there when they needed to use the restroom or store equipment in one of the nearby sheds. We sat down in the middle of an open space, with only an exposed bare bulb nearby illuminating the surrounding area. We were all having a laugh scaring each other with what-if scenarios and other typical things.
My friend who brought the Ouija board proceeded to place it in the middle of our circle. It was a glow-in-the-dark version, which we found hilarious, but it let us see the writing on it.
Not knowing what to do, and just following what wed seen in movies, we all proceeded to place our index fingers on top of the planchette. We sat there looking at each other, until one of us asked, "What's next?"
We didn't know if there was a proper way to start the ritual, plus the board didn't come with instructions, so we decided to just throw in a question.
"Is anyone there?" I called out into the darkness.
"If there are spirits living here, please talk to us, one of the girls joined in.
We clearly had no idea what we were doing.
Still, nothing. Not even the slightest bit of wind.
One of my friends jerked the planchette and the girl who brought the board screamed, breaking the silence. We all laughed at how ridiculous it was.
After a bit of joking around, we decided to give it another go.
We all placed our index fingers on the planchette once more and asked, "If there's anyone there, we would like to make contact."
"Don't break the circle, one of my friends jokingly said.
"Shut up," I whispered.
We were just about ready to give up when the wind started to pick up. The stillness broke and the darkness around us seemed to move.
Just a coincidence, we all thought.
"Okay, don't break the circle." I called out. "Is anyone there?"
I was excited. It was like a scene from a movie with dirt and dead leaves swirling around us.
"Guys, I'm scared." My friend sitting beside me whispered. "My mom warned me about playing with forces we dont know."
"Did you die here?"
"Were you killed during the war?"
"Are you the headless priest that roams these halls?"
"Are you a hottie?" my friend giggled.
At this point, we were all throwing random stupid questions.
Nothing.
"I don't want to do this anymore." My friend said, exasperated.
We were all thinking the same.
Just then a group of dogs, from the neighboring house, started barking at us through the chain-link fence. These six dogs were growling and showing teeth. We all screamed and without finishing the ritual, bolted right out of there.
We didn't see each other until after Halloween break, and this is where the story gets creepy.
One of the girls told us about a weird experience she had the night after playing with the Ouija Board. She had gotten home late, after hanging out with her friends from the neighborhood, when she realized she forgot the keys to her house. So, she called her brother up, who was then still sharing a room with her, and what he said crept the hell out of her. He swore she was already home. He claimed to have seen her walk-in a while ago, and that she looked really tired and saw her head straight to bed.
"Creepy. But no need to freak ourselves out," was all we thought.
Besides her brother must have just been tired and seeing things. But then my other friend started telling us about an encounter she had that Halloween night.
She was going up to her room when the lights started flickering as she was ascending the staircase. Your typical horror movie visuals, shrug it off to faulty wiring. But just then she saw the door to her room open and a dark figure stepped out and stood atop of their staircase. She couldn't make out the entity's face, but she recounted that she couldn't move and felt utter dread as the figure stared down at her.
"No way!" My best friend who just joined in the conversation said in disbelief.
"Something happened to me as well."
He recalled that he was sleeping one night when he woke up feeling uncomfortable. He described his vision as having TV-like-static, and a feeling of heaviness surrounded him. He looked around the room and that's when he saw a bloody, charred face, with piercing red eyes, grinning at him through the window.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing, because I had an almost run-in with death that night. After the ritual, I was sleeping in our sedan on the way home after fooling around with the Ouija board, when I felt our car jerk. I woke up instantly. Looking out the window, I found out that we've been hit by a huge oil tanker. I panicked and leaped out of the car. Luckily my mom and I survived the crash since the front of the car was a total wreck.
I still don't have an explanation why those things happened to us. But thank God nothing happened after that.
I have never played or gotten near a Ouija Board ever since.

I don't think I can get it finished in time so here's what I wrote so far. I'll continue editing as I write. You can change anything you like, I probably didn't write it really well because it's a bit late atm. ><'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Start of Article~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This month sure was a fun-filled month with the Summer Fest going on! From August 16th till September 20th, well all have plenty of time to collect some new Themed, explore Esiors Cove and its new Named, compete in the Summer Fest Contests and decorate your avatar with the new Avi Items!
Esiors Cove has once again returned! Put on your battling gear and lets explore this vast map!
By fighting Sylestis, Nightfall Bandits and others can result in drops including Sun Tokens (the Summer Festival currency), Sculpting supplies, Fishing Poles and Beach Shovels. In addition, you can battle a total of 16 Named, 12 of them new with brand new Avi Items, spawning across 8 different spawn locations across Esiors Cove, dropping all sorts of Fest stuff and sometimes an item from their unique Avi Item set! To top that all off, 34 different Themed, 17 of which are new, can be found roaming the Zone or tucked inside an Abandoned Nest.
The Task Log is also back with over 40 Tasks to complete in this Fest. By completing these tasks, you can earn rewards such as Sun Tokens and various Fest Items. If you manage to finish every single task in the Log, you can receive a Peerless Avatar Token which can be used in the Avatar Shop to buy special Avi Items.
Sylesti Sand Sculpting has returned with 27 new Themed! By purchasing sand to fill your sandboxes, you can pick a Catalyst to start sculpting and use your Sculpting Supplies to customise the resulting pet.
But wait, there's more cool stuff in this Fest! Beach Treasure Seeking is back with awesome prizes! By using Fishing Poles and Beach Shovels found throughout the Fest, you can find Gold and all sorts of Items. While Wooden Tools and Iron Tools have the same prize pool, Iron Tools have a higher chance of getting you better prizes. But what about the Majestic Tools? Well, with them, you can get Items that cannot be found using the Iron or Wooden Tools!
Calling all avi battlers and fast-fingered nurturers! I present to you, the Leaderboard Contests! From 8/20 to 9/11, three rounds of the Contests will occur. These contests are divided into a Enemies Defeated board (or more affectionately known as the Murdureboard) and a Pets Nurtured Board. By nurturing a specific specie, you earn points for the board of that specific species. Say I nurtured a Draeyl and bam! A point on the Draeyl board for me! Points for the Battling Board will be determined by how many enemies you defeat in the Fest Zone with pets of that Species.
And that's not all. Just like every Fest, Faiona and Krinadon have organised some awesome Forum Games for everyone to take part in!
The first Forum Game is 'Avatar Dress Up' where players must design their own Summer-Themed Avi to participate. Phew, I'm getting hot just by looking at all these fantastic entries.
The second is the '3-Visible Summer Pet'. To participate in this well-known game, players scramble to the Generators to design a 3-Vis Summer-Themed Sylesti.
The third and last Forum Game is the 'Wordsearch' featuring all sorts of ice-cream flavours! Players just need to complete the Wordsearch and send it to OfficialGames by PM. Ooh those are some yummy flavours for everyone to find.
