This competition will be an ongoing search throughout the summer, so all entries are welcome during this time! Over the course of those months the Sweetnose Mastiff staff will look over entries and choose artists as they apply. Do note that artists are not required to know genotypes, and that there will be different types of artist positions! Note all artists are eligible to participate in any events.
The types of positions are:
- Main Artist - Working on the main lines only, with option to do customs / semi customs
Nursery Artist - Working on breedings only, with option to do customs / semi customs
Customs Artist - Working on customs / semi customs only
Full Artist - Works on main lines, breedings, customs / semi customs
Ghost Artist - Similar to full artist, except is more inactive; preferred if wanting to contribute to the species but is not reliable for weekly designs. If wishing to be a ghost artist, state the maximum time you expect between adopts in the other section
Over time if an artist wishes to change position (main to full, full to main, full to ghost, etc) that is allowed and a-ok, the admins just require permission for the change in titles.
Artists are not required to know genetics- each sweetnose must have them, but if an artist does not know how to make genotypes/phenotypes the other staff members will provide the genotypes/phenotypes for their adopts! Artists will be trained in learning the genes if they so wish, otherwise staff will continue to provide the genetics for the designs if they are unsure about learning / have no desire to learn.
Rules
Keep the 'not a real mastiff' sign on all entries
Realistic designs only - either use picture references or genotypes (if you know them) for your design
All mastiffs are fake, however you may transfer the design out of species or use it as an approved custom (see below)
You may repost your fake mastiffs for examples or asking for critique
All main rules still apply
You may make any number of designs, but quality over quantity
Looking For
Artists with knowledge how to do realistic designs
The ability to post a dog a week, even if designs are made in advance (exception is ghost artist)
Experience in working with communities (as an artist, mod, member, or otherwise)
Knowledge of layers (lock alpha, multiply, add, etc)
Artists who want to be a part of the community (join the community chats, games, etc)
Artists comfortable with diversity- the community is majority LGBTQ+, different religions, and races
To enter, you can either make a design from scratch, or do a fake breeding of two approved sweetnoses!
