🎁 New Giveaway Reward Unlocked??

Before we showcase last week’s winning entries, we are excited to announce that our friends at Optillusion have entered the chat! They are generously offering game keys to redeem your favorite yandere catgirl in their multiplayer AI game, Pick Me Pick Me!

While our yanderes clearly love spending solo time with you in AI2U, Eddie’s week-long availability in Pick Me Pick Me is an awesome chance to try fighting for her heart and putting your romantic rivals to shame.

Much like her PmPm debut last year, Eddie’s visit to their universe will be short and sweet — so grab her while you can! ːcatgirlloveː

Now let’s gaze... respectfully... at some yandere-siren-catgirls. Hopefully, our collective tears will create an ocean big enough to for a beach episode one day! 😭 ... Or is that just the Siren’s Island level reminding us that we can never escape?? 🍥

Discord Winner

Roxie

Original coloring or illustration (hand-drawn/digital)

Decided to draw Eddie to look like a Pokemon that she once said she "really" liked! Now that she's in water, she's gained some extra speed with that tail! Hope it doesn't make Eiona jealous

After she decided to change to a water type, she wanted to learn Razor Shell! Had to make her forget Slash. No worries though, now she's got high special defense, Hydration as an ability, and still knows Captivate, Charm, and Attract so she should still be to keep and deal with any naughty senpai trainer!

Additionally, all Discord participants unlocked the rare role MerMay ~ Mer-Meow!

Social Media Winner (X)

DemonicOverlords

AI-Assisted Entry

#ai2u My inspiration is A mixture between Eiona's tropical design and Eddie's Style and personality. Eddie is enjoying the sea with her Senpai while taking care of her Senpai even if its a odd and unusual way to do it. I would describe her as a Mermaid-CatGirl @AI2U_game

THANK YOU to everyone who shared their takes on Eddie's siren design!

And biggest congrats to the winners; we’ll reach out to you individually this week so you can choose between:

Siren-Eddie’s had her fix… now it’s time for a girlie who’s embracing the cosmos alongside mythology!

Your AI Assistant traded her holographic vibes for something a bit more on the “let’s teleport to the beach and gaze at the stars from there for a change!”

You know the drill, but we’ll share a quick refresher for those swimming to get up to speed.

Deadline to submit Estelle’s Template on all platforms: May 24 @ 11:59 PM (EDT)
