CELEBRATING THE 101 CREATOR COMMUNITY



Thank you all for joining us on the very first content creator exclusive livestream with special guests: Alyssalove217, faeriequeens, Kukki4u, Photographesque, Ultimate Firefly, and Ultimate Speedster!

We talked all about our amazing community, YOU all, and all the creations you've crafted for Wizard101 and Pirate101 over the years. With so much to cover, we ran over by nearly a half hour and still didn't get in half of what we wanted to show you and talk about.

We must do this again sometime soon and with another round of community guests!

 

PRIDE CHARITY LIVESTREAM RESULTS




Thank you for joining us on this year's Pride Charity Livestream with special guest, Andrew Schlager from Outright International. YOU raised $3,310 for Outright International's community efforts, $1,500 above our original goal! ALL codes from the livestream were limited to the livestream. They are no longer available, sorry.

A closing Happy Pride shoutout from Mean Mocha!

“Here's the Pineapple Pal Pet from the Floating Lands Resort Bundle.” - Adam Roush

“Here's the Li'l Devil Pet/ Phantasmanian Devil. Not a single mischievous bone in his body, that's for sure.” - Adam Roush

“Here's Bodleian Harrow in his ultimate boss form, fused with the Unreadable Book. I exaggerated some of his features, like massive fangs and ears, and added tons of effects to make him look more evil.” - Adam Roush

“Here's the Wastelander Gear from the Wallaru Wastelander's Pack.” - Adam Roush

MIA SMITH

Mia Smith is KingsIsle’s Associate Character Artist who also regularly posts her amazing work on social media. Here are a couple of concepts of her most recent pieces:
