Featured Artist: Jemini

Magical Items and Magical Birthday Wishes!

Happy Tuesday everyone—and a very Happy Birthday to our beautiful, perky, and friendly AQW Artist, Jemini! Today is her special day, and so we’ve dedicated this week’s Featured Artist Showcase Shop to Jemini and all her magical goodies =D

Starting at 5pm EST today, Jemini’s shop will be full of AMAZING “Magical Anime” items to quench your anime thirst. Cat ears, costumes, alpacas, and sparkles await!

When the clock strikes 5pm Server Time, it's time to get your Anime On in Battleon’s Featured Artist Showcase Shop >^.,.^<

Jemini on the Fly

Sorry J6, but Jemini is my favorite Time Traveling Kleptomanic EVAR! Jemini has traversed space and time, collecting awesome artifacts and adorable loot. Throughout her travels, Jemini picked up a message from Korin and landed her spaceship, The Yaris, at the Secret Underground Lab in February 2008.

Jemini has always loved drawing. Disney played a major roll in helping her develop her skills at a young level. And once Jemini found the wonderful world of Anime—especially Sailor Moon!—she really got into drawing people and portraits.

Jemini has contributed her art style to almost every Artix game at one point or another. And now this week’s AQW Featured Artist Shop is dedicated just to her! Jemini can't help herself—she loves Magical Girl anime. She feels like if anyone could deliver this theme to AQW, it would be her!

My thoughts exactly =D

Magical Alpaca!

Oh. My. Goodness! Jemini’s Alpaca Pets are magically adorable!

But what’s the story behind Jemini’s Alpaca-infatuation?

A few weeks ago, Jemini took a trip to a local alpaca farm called Golden Spirit Alpaca Ranch. Nestled on 75 acres and home to over 160 Alpacas, Golden Spirit Alpaca Ranch was the perfect place for Jemini to play with…erm, do “research” on… alpacas!

Jemini LOVED her trip to Golden Spirit Alpaca Ranch and just HAD to create an in-game Alpaca Pet for AdventureQuest Worlds. Now that you can have your very own Alpaca, here are some fun facts about Jemini’s favorite furry friends!

Alpaca Facts

• Alpacas are part of the camelid family, most known for the humped camels (also related to in-game Bupers Camels)
• Alpacas come in two varieties: the most popular are “huacaya” (pronounced  way-KI-ah) and the other “sure”
• Alpacas live 15 - 20 years
• Their fleece is used for high-end fashion pieces 
• Alpacas love to roll in dirt pits
• Alpacas have only one row of teeth—derp!
• Alpacas are quiet docile animals, like Moglins!

If you are in the Tampa Bay area and would like to visit a real-life Alpaca ranch, make an appointment with the super friendly Golden Spirit Alpaca Ranch family! But if you’re too far from Florida, you can always get an Alpaca Pet inside AQWorlds right at your fingertips.

Let’s make this Tuesday the most magical one ever whooohooo!

Give Jemini much love and many birthday wishes on her Twitter!

And then get your Anime On in Battleon! Starting at 5pm Server Time!
