Art Studio Drawing

Hey Jammers! A couple days ago I was in the Art Studio and I wanted to draw something, and I actually kind of liked what turned out so I wanted to show it to ya! ^_^

I'm not too crazy about AJ wolves, but they can be pretty fun to draw sometimes. This took me around 15 minutes because I had no idea how to make tree bark. XD

I submitted it, but because the gallery is mostly full of contest-related things I probably won't get my drawing in. Oh well, at least I can still share it with you! (>^-^)> ♥ <(^-^<)

The new item of today is sold in Jam Mart Clothing:

As you can see, I'm broke on Animal Jam right now. Now I'm missing the gems that would just pile up when I was nonmember! XD

I'm so sorry for the incredibly short post today! I'm trying bit by bit to limit my own screen time and do more stuff offline. I still love AJ and blogging as always! I just don't like being glued to a chair 100% of the time, so I hope you understand. 

See you in Jamaa!

9 Fall Inspired NM Clothing Ideas

Hey Jammers! After much searching throughout the shops of Jamaa, I finally determined that the new item was hidden in a party. The Back To School Party to be exact!

Click on the bottle of vinegar to pour it into the volcano to make it erupt! Did you know that if a volcano creates enough smoke it can form clouds and make lightning shoot out of them? Scary. Scary but cool.

Also, today while desperately searching for the new item I found a rather glitchy koala in Sarepia Forest:

Where is that balloon's string? Is Blossom Cutebuddy a balloon-whisperer? Can she take balloons on walks without needing a string to guide them along? Amazing.

What's your favorite thing about Fall, or do you not like Fall? Comment what you think! :)

DoomyPanda, signing off...

Happy Birthday, Bao Bao!

Hey Jammers! Even though this is a blog about digital animals, I do like to sometimes talk about the real animals in the world today. 

I will talk about the new item, but first I'd like to wish Bao Bao of the Smithsonian National Zoo a really happy 2nd birthday!

Some of you may have heard the amazing news that Bao Bao's mother Mei Xiang has given birth to twin babies on Sunday and Saturday, the third captive female panda in history to do that! Mei Xiang's keepers have reported that both of her new babies are doing well so far, but while signs are good let's keep our fingers crossed! <3

It's a wonderful cause to celebrate, but let's not leave Bao Bao's birthday out of the mix of good news! (>^-^)>

According to the Smithsonian's IG caption, Bao Bao's birthday fruitsicle cake was created out of all her favorite treats: honey, apple juice, apple sauce, bamboo, carrots, and beet juice! Yum...

It's a bit difficult becoming a big sister on your own birthday, so let's wish this growing family of wonderful bears good luck, health, and happiness– to them, and to all panda kind! :)

Okay, here we are back in Jamaa with the new item sold in Jam Mart Clothing:

It's sold around the last pages of the "catalog", so if you want it go get it there!

I recently started playing Play Wild and so far I love it. It could never replace computer AJ, but I love how detailed and pretty it is!

I recently stopped being a New Jammer, so if you want to add me just search up DoomyPanda and I'll accept!

Here are some things I've learned while playing:

• Animal prices double every day

• Dance with 3 other people by the Mira Statue in Jamaa Township

• Things easy (like getting a smoothie or earning gems) on the computer are incredibly hard on Play Wild

• The Wolves Only room in Coral Canyons is wonderful and detailed while the Monkeys Only room in Sarepia is just a boring level of wood. Maybe it's in construction?

• There are lots of different sound effects in Play Wild Jamaa. Go by the Mira Statue and hear birds chirp!

That's all for now, see you in Jamaa!

Paper Toys + Clearance

Hey Jammers! The new item of today is a member's only rerelease sold in Jam Mart Clothing:

The only reason I know this is a rerelease is that I've been looking at the older pages of my blog from Summer 2012. Here's how a blue version looks on my old penguin:

I've noticed that a lot of things look better on penguins. Gloves, necklaces, wings... maybe that's because they have a more humanoid shape and a lot of these accessories are ultimately designed for humans.

Another thing I've noticed is that pretty much everything looks awful on pandas. Heart lockets? They're hanging out of the panda's mouth for some reason. Wings of any kind? Too tiny to even dream of flying with. Striped socks? Weird looking and glitchy no matter what you do. 

And don't even get me started on binoculars...

Anyway, for a reason I've since forgotten I looked up "paper" on the Daily Explorer. At the bottom of the first results page was a fun activity that I must have missed:

These look really fun to do. I wanna make the entire Sarepia Forest! <3

Before I wrap up this post I've compiled pictures of every Jamaa item on clearance as of today, August 23rd! Luckily, there's not that much on clearance and it's all in Jam Mart Furniture and Epic Wonders.

Snow Leopard Stickers + Future Tutorial

Hey Jammers! The new item of today is sold in the aquamarine den item orb of the mysterious Epic Wonders:

This lil' guy runs on a treadmill when you click him. You'd think with all that exercise he would have some muscular robot legs, but no... maybe he needs to try harder.

A commenter notified me that the sticker sheet that was leaked early on is on the second to last page of the Snow Leopard mini book!

Throughout the pages, little pictures of items are scattered for you to click to add to your sticker book "inventory"

You can arrange them along with the snow leopard friends to create a scene in Jamaa! Unrealistic, yes, because snow leopards don't typically wear hats, but cute nonetheless. It would be cool if there could be sticker pages for other animals, too. :D

These sticker arrangements can be saved, by the way!

Another little commenter shout-out: Thank you so much for the kind complement, Januaryy Jamaa! It really means a ton to me. ^-^

Thanks also for the suggestion to make a tutorial on making layouts! I think that's a great idea because even though a long time ago I made a "Blogger Resources" post, I know a lot more now and I love teaching people stuff!!!

So at some point (perhaps in later August or early September?) I'm definitely going to make a tutorial about my process in creating a blog layout. :)

The only question is, should I do the tutorial in the form of a video or make a big long post? Posting would be easier for me, but I'm willing to try video. What do you guys think? ^_^

Before I go, I made a few AJ graphics that anyone can use:

That's all for now, see you in Jamaa!
