Masterpiece Malfunction + Gfox from Jamaasian Middle

  Heyo, Jammers!  Crazcatlover here, back with another blog post!  I've got some sad, sad news to share with you today...  I can't make copies of any of the masterpieces I drew from before February, 2017.  My llama masterpiece.... gellyjones masterpiece.... All of them gone, except the few I've drawn in the last month!  My buddy, Floofyart, brought to my attention a horrible new glitch.  When Animal Jam updated yesterday, it corrupted all the old saved masterpiece files from before February or something, because whenever I try to load any, it gives me this message:


  What??  'This Masterpiece could not be loaded.  Please try again.'  So I tried again.  And again.  And again.  And all the masterpieces from before February 2017 DID NOT LOAD.  I tried refreshing; still wouldn't load.  This isn't some fun, harmless glitch like a land animal managing to get underwater, this is a horrible glitch affecting many jammers!  As far as I know, this is happening to everyone.
  
  Countless hours spent drawing Masterpieces, lost.  This is the kind of glitch that makes people quit.  I already contacted AJHQ, though they have not responded yet.  Hopefully this is a coding error that can be fixed by the team at AJHQ.  If it's not?  Then this is a dark, dark day in Animal Jam history. 

  Seeing as the majority of my masterpieces can no longer be loaded, I will be closing my masterpiece commissions completely until this glitch is fixed.  I don't want to draw any new masterpieces and lose those files, too, and obviously I can't load most of my old art to make copies of existing masterpieces.

  Please don't spam AJHQ with e-mails about this issue; like I said, I already contacted them.  All we can do for right now is wait for the hard-working coding team at AJHQ to fix this.  Please let me know if this glitch is happening to you, too, or if you can still load old masterpieces from before February.


  In other news, I just finished the drawing of Gfox from the Jamaasian Middle story by Swirlshine, author of  The Weekly Jammer News!


  I've decided that I'm going to draw the Bloggers from the story one-at-a-time, as I have been drawing them, on paper with pencil, and then once I've drawn all of them, I'll make a huge speedart video where I color them all in digitally.  Obviously, there are a LOT of Bloggers in this story, so when I make that huge image, I'll be shrinking each character down a lot.  It'll still be a huge project, so I'm going to try to draw at least one Blogger a day.  

  If you also read this story, or you are a character in this story, please help me fill out the form below for each of the Blogger characters in the story!  I don't have full details of what each character looks like, so if you're a character in the story, it'd be really helpful if you filled the form in about your character!  So far, I have character descriptions of Karalee and Gfox.

Character's Name (Name from the story only):

Girl or boy: 

Height (approximate is fine):

Weight (approximate is fine, like skinny/average/plump): 

Hair color: 

Eye color: 

Skintone: 

Hairstyle and length: 

Clothes:

Top: 
Pants/skirt: 
Jacket, if applicable: 
Shoes: 
Other: 

  Please don't include any personally identifiable information if you fill out this form about a character in the story based off of you!  I just want to know what the characters in the story look like so I can draw them accurately; it just so happens that these characters are based off of real people.  You can say AJ items that your AJ animal wears for the 'clothes' if you want.  Whatever your character is described to look like in the story.

  Technically they're all going to middle school soooo idk...  approximate age is no longer part of the form XD

(thanks to Karalee for writing this awesome character form!)


  I'm going to be tagging all of my posts with art of the Blogger characters with the tag Blogger portal character art.  I'm also going to add a page called 'Jamaasian Middle Fan Art'.  

  Thanks for reading this post and hopefully AJHQ will fix this glitch soon!  Tell me in the comments below what you think of this glitch and whether or not you think AJHQ will be able to fix it.  And how do you feel about me writing these longer blog posts?  I'd love to hear your thoughts!

  2. Oh my goodness! That is such a frustrating glitch! I hope AJHQ does something to fix it...
    Wow, you did a really nice job on Gfox's drawing! It looks so cool. :) I really like how the hair looks. I'm in JM too, but we are doing an art trade right now so it wouldn't be fair to make you draw me 2 times! :P But if you are ok with it, I'll happily fill that form out. :D
