Some updates:

- talked with brightobject about crediting artists in the comments of Facebook posts; we've started to do that. We've been linking to the art hub user pages or forum user pages so far, but if you guys each prefer something more specific (DeviantArt, Tumblr etc) it would be great if there was some central location (aka a thread) we could look that info up.

- still hoping for spotlight art for Yveltal and Doublade. I need one by next Sunday (8/27) and the other by the following Sunday (9/3). See OP

- I opened up reservations for the next round of Facebook spotlights. Again the list is in the OP, but I'll copy it here too; please reserve things :) (but Yveltal and Doublade are higher priority plz)

09/09/17 - Staryu

I draw fast :> feel free to HL me if anything needs to be done asap
draw for spotlights ;w;

on another note, I updated the OP with something new:
Profile Pictures
The social media team would like to start changing our profile pictures and cover photos more often, and keeping up with holidays would be fun too! For cover photos, we're going to feature art already created for articles, giveaways, spotlights, etc, but for profile pictures we'd like to get new art! The only requirements are that (1) a Koffing is the main focus of the art and (2) the image is relatively square, but other than that you have creative freedom (it would be nice to let us know what you're thinking of doing, though). The Koffing can be shiny, or wearing a Santa hat, or hanging out with a Luvdisc... whatever you think is appropriate. I'll open reservations according to some holidays/seasonal events, but some non-holiday-related art would also be great!

ASAP: something back-to-school or Johto related, since Gen II is coming to Virtual Console this month -
10/01/17: Halloween -
11/15/17: Ultra Sun and Moon -
01/01/18: Winter Holidays or Olympics -
06/01/18: FIFA World Cup -
07/01/18: Summer Holidays -

Filler (non-holiday-related; unlimited)

Bit of a FYI concerning the profile pics, now Facebook, mirroring what Twitter already does, has decided to show all profile pics as circles so they will fit a bit less if you're one to make a lot of stuff in the background. The full square will still show up on the main Smogon Facebook page but not on the posts on people's timelines.
