Was curious if anyone on Eld knew of 4dopt. It's a virtual pet site where any artist can create their own species and items for the game. It's pretty laid back, the community is very nice and welcoming for artists of all skill levels and there are tons of pets and items to collect in all different styles, and different ways to recolor and customize them based on how the artist sets them up.
Registration is only open on Saturdays currently.
Here are two species I've contributed to the site so far:
Also love how there are no daily requirements or anything. It's just up to you what you want to do, and the fun is all about collecting and personalizing adoptables. My current goal is to try and get a complete collection of items in the game, which has been pretty fun so far.
