Position applying for: breeding helper!
Example Sqims
My simple sqims:

- for this one, I just wanted to go with a simple design and a cute colour scheme! I wanted it to appear simple from afar but more detailed up close. I basically just thought he was a cute little guy :3

- I really wanted to create a sqim based off of the beautiful colours that come from sunsets! I really like the moon eye detail hehe but yeah I think this sqim is quite cute and I'm quite happy with how it turned out!

my complex sqims:
- since I am applying for a breeding helper, I though I would do a breeding between some sqim!
- the first litter is between my sqim Hildegard #134 and HABZ' sqim he designed named Giuseppe STAFF #011 (pm me for proof of permission!)

+

- for this litter, I decided to combine the lines and colours of the parents :D
- the first baby is inspired by the paper on the fish of Giuseppe but with a more muted colour pallet taken from Hildegard. I think this is my favourite of this example litter!
- The second baby is in the colour scheme of Hildegard with lines and patterning more similar to Giuseppe!
- The third baby is in the colour scheme of Giuseppe. I wanted to use some of the pattern choices from Hildegard on this sqim but in a pastel colour pallette

- the second litter is between my sqim Unum #001 and HABZ' sqim STAFF #016 (again, pm for proof :D)

+

- for this litter, I decided I would keep the lines unedited and just swap the colouring :D
- I thought both of these came out so cute!!!

Thank you for reviewing my application!! :D

Any past/current experience in being a moderator for a UMA?: yes! I am a moderator for both meesks and acionyx, as well as rafficorns which is just starting up! I am also the co-owner of my UMA and I take care of all the moderator stuff + rolling dailies and actively setting up and interacting with our discord!
Position applying for: discord moderator and/or explore helper idm!
Tell me about how you goes about moderating:
- I try to be as active/punctual as I can, while I am a student and work a part-time job, I often have time to check discord throughout the day and I am active most mornings and evenings.
- While moderating, I try to apply all the rules quickly yet gently as I can, especially if it's a user's first time breaking one, or it's something okay like mistakingly talking in the wrong chat.
- I also am very capable of separating my own feelings regarding a situation and what should actually be done, and apply the rules in a fair and objective way.
(also regarding explore helper - I love rolling my UMA's expeditions and would be more than happy to help out with dailies in this UMA too!)

Any past/current experience in being an artist for a UMA?: No, this will be my first UMA if I'm accepted!
Position applying for: Either Sqim Maker or Breeding Helper - I'm okay with either! I do think I might prefer Breeding Helper though :]
Tell me about your designs: My two Strange Sqim are based off of real life lizards! The yellow one with a thick tail (which I've been calling cheesesqim for simplicity) Is based off a leopard gecko, specifically my pet leopard gecko named Cheddar Cheese Burger! The other strange Sqim is based off of a Chinese Water Dragon, a lizard species that I got from a random lizard picker.
My two Standard Sqim are basically random designs I pulled out of my head that I thought would be easy to create color variations of, if they were to ever be part of a litter. One is based off of a fudge dipped cookie, that I put sprinkles on for visual interest, and the other is basically just an excuse to use orange prominently in a Sqim, because it's my favorite color.

Any past/current experience in being an artist for a UMA?:
no. I've only participated in other users UMAs as a member. Now that I am more confident with my art I would like to gain experience working with UMAs

Position applying for: Sqim Maker

Tell me about your designs:

panda
Pandas to me come off super silly so I figured they would be perfect for a Sqim critter. I imagine them with their favorite snack and sitting somewhere comfy.
my attempt at a straw berry cake colored panda and I let my fiancé pick a synth wave palette for the second panda.

Shrimp Sushi
I haven't seen a lot of food inspired Sqim. Lets take the goofiest aquatic critter and turn them into food.
On todays menu we have a pink shrimp sqim sushi and a tiger shrimp sqim sushi

Foo Dog
I think these fellas might be a little too small for their ball.. Don't worry hes friendly. This tough guy will protect its chosen owner from dangers that may lurk near.

Standard
Decided to go with 2 cat patterns for one. Color point with the face and paws, and then a leopard print on the back and arms.
The last 2 I named Hungry Jelly Bones. You can see right through to their skeletons.. and apparently what their last meal was.

Example Sqims:
