Hello everyone, this is just a small announcement letting you all know that there will be a lot of visual changes on the website coming up (not right away.) This includes the background images, some items, a couple of the site banners and some other assets- including the site's logo and watermark.
These were changes requested upon by the artist who created them, and asked of us that they get replaced when we are able to, but we don't want to alarm or catch anybody off guard by making large, sudden visual changes like these without informing everyone first. This will be a process that will take us quite some time to complete, but it is something we are working on out of respect of the person who's requested it, and ask that their privacy also gets respected.



With that being said, we'd like to host a contest for a new autumn site theme.
This contest will last for one month, ending on the end of the day, September 28th, 23:59:59pm site time 
We have an on site gallery for you to submit entries to - https://waterdogworld.com/gallery/12
