To be honest, I didn't put a 'ton' of thought into the name. I was just kind of going for something that sounded 'fancy' and 'upscale', like a bougie department store such as Neiman Marcus or Saks Fifth Avenue. I wanted 'luxury' to be a theme in my works because I craft my content with a lot of love, care, and detail. And magnolias are indeed one of my favorite flowers.


My site was originally Petz 5 only but I have since added some content for Petz 4 as I do play both versions. However, I do strongly prefer making content for Petz 5 because I’m not constantly fighting the petz palette. That aside, I enjoy features like the day/night and weather cycles, mini-games, carrying cases that let you tote all the toys at once, and full-color playscenes and carrying cases. I launched this site to give Petz 5 some long-overdue love, since there’s less content for P5 compared to P4.


Hopefully someday! I haven’t gotten around to it yet. The plan was a subsite (Pet Shop) for trades, but I’ve been bogged down with a backlog of other projects. Keep checking!




If you're using the updated PetzA with custom palettes, magenta is now rendered transparent, which may affect how some content appears. For reference, I use a 238-swapped base game palette (available here) that restores a non-transparent magenta to the game so that magenta displays as intended. Separately, colors 229–255 can display differently for individual users (this is a game quirk, not PetzA-specific). I try to account for this where possible, but DM me if anything looks off.


I use Photoshop for the majority of my work, but I use other programs for specific tasks. I use Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 (old but good!) because it has a built-in seamless tiling maker that makes creating textures, furs, and patterns easy. JPSP 8 also sometimes cooperates better with me when working with the Petz Palette. On occasion, I do draw things by hand with my pen stylus so I use Clip Studio Paint.


Some of my content may include AI-assisted assets mixed with handmade work, especially in playscenes. I respect that AI isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and am not offended if you’d prefer to avoid AI content. ❤ Since this is a casual hobby, I don’t remember every time AI was used, so I’m unable to label items individually. So this serves as a general site-wide disclosure, even though a significant portion of my content is AI-free.


The main ones I use are Gemini, ChatGPT, and Bing/Co-Pilot. Gemini has given me the best results and has been the most generous in its daily allowance for free users. Gemini excels at replicating the 90s/early 2000s CGI aesthetic that Petz is known for. I also use Clip Drop's background remover to quickly cut out intricate objects like trees. However, it doesn't always create the sharpest edges, so there are many things I still have to cut out by hand.


I go by Rizu in the various Petz Discords. I may not always be active year-round, so replies can take time. Discord notifications can be unreliable, so feel free to message again if I miss you.
