IST Before requesting a Custom Avatar please read our FAQ found here. I have been receiving a lot of requests that I simply cannot do due to copyright issues or time. All avatars must only have the use of IcePets images. I will also not draw any of the images, as it takes too much time. So, unfortunately you cannot have a Pinata Dabu eating a Prankster Jakrit. If you have any further questions, leave a comment or drop me a mail!

IST is a little makeup diva! She's imported a new foundation brush so you can actually apply your foundation!  She then realized the current foundation was awfully uneven and replaced it with this fancy new stuff!       Finishing her makeup with the final touches she realized she had no lipstick left.. She dashed to the popular Grooming Parlor where she discovered the local Stylist had a new brand of lipstick!         After giving Claws a strange look for trying on some of the new Red Lipstick, Dz picked up some Pink Lipstick and completed her look! Can't see the revamp? Press CTRL + F5!

Suspicious Present can grant you these cool prizes.        If you get really lucky, you may even win this.... Pranker Jakrit hid this avatar, he threatened me with a pie in the face if I try looking for it, so it will be up to you to find it.  Everything you see here is thanks to Wonderrabbit. She planned it, and funded it.
