Genesis is a Warrior Cat ARPG centered around development and creative freedom. You can have rainbow cats with 0 need for an edit item, this is meant to be a fun community purely dedicated to loving your cats! Character growth, lore, and worldbuilding will be heavily encouraged via level up rewards and long-term challenges you can complete at your own pace.

If you have any questions after reading all this, please PM dimi. or Adamented here on CS or DM them on Discord! [@Dimidude, @adamented]. Forms for non-artist positions should be posted here!

The timezone question on each form is just so when we know to contact you if we hire you! Don't feel like your time zone will hinder you at all.

Please DO NOT modify these codes in anyway.
We MUST be able to search for this information easily. This includes changing the size of the text, using list columns, and removing/modifying the title of your post.
Thank you!

As Tides of the Abyss approaches it's one year anniversary, the Tides team is excited to open up our first official staff search! After months of growth, worldbuilding, and community creativity, we are ready to expand our crew by adding some moderators and writers (and of course, more artists)! Every position is open, and you're welcome to apply for multiple roles if you feel like your skills fit more than one area!

Tides of the Abyss is a semi-ARPG set beneath the waves, where players can immerse themselves in the shimmering, enchanted world of the Hydrafelidae - an aquatic feline species shaped by magic, mystery, and more importantly, the deep. Community members are encouraged to partake in the ARPG experience by crafting stories, sending their Hydra's on explorations. However, lots of members prefer the collecting aspect, gathering dedsigns and building their worlds at their own pace.

However you choose to experience Tides, your journey is entirely yours to chart.

ARTISTS
Artists will help us run the adoptable side of the ARPG! They will be tasked with creating new adopts, claiming founders, and opening nursery batches so members can expand their pods. Additionally, they may help with creating event and community assets.

Please include this form on your first artist entry:

MODERATORS

Entry #5

Blue Roan Extensive Sabino with Swirl Quipping

What are Khimaira Friesians?:
Khimaira Friesians are a "normal" friesian breed with all characteristics of a friesian and a average height from 15 to 17 hands, but even 18 hands can occur. The first born Khimaira was mistaked for a chimera horse. But a genetic test showed otherwise, there wasn't a second DNA but a complete new and unknown gen. Because this gen makes the friesian look like a chimera it was named khimaira. khimaira doesn't produce a complete new dna coat and therefor it can only lighten or darken the base coat of the horse. Till now only the paint khimaira is known that makes the khimaira coloration looks like tobiano, overo, sabino or splash. But we believe that there will be more khimaira variations out there and we still try to breed them. Appaloosas are not known till now, but we have some great friesian mixed horses with appaloosa patterns, so we are sure to deliver them to you in a short amount of time.

End Date: this is Ongoing

- do a cover
- know basic horse coat colorings
- know the basics of horse genetics, especially when you enter for breeding artist there is a guide to help with genetics and colors either way though

- You may do up to 10 entries, but you must do the entries for your position below

username: JolleeFroot
reason for applying: I fell in love with this species as soon as I saw it, and have become very interested in being an artist for it!
prior artist experience: Have made MYOs for different species and, in general, draw a lot.
anything else we should know?: Sadly, I can tend to be busy, but I should have enough time to be an artist!

hydrafelis description: [NR / NR / NR] Primarily a warm brown with darker stripes, a sandy underbelly and tail fin, with lighter green fins, eyes, and antenna.
edits:
[NR] Whisker Edit, Eyelash Edit, Antenna Edit
[C] Round Ears/Fins/Tail, Min Fur Edit

On-going Guest Artist Applications

We are open to guest artist applications!

How it works:

Step 1: Create a cover for your applications
Step 2: Make designs as and when
Step 3: Once every month/two months the team will select someone to be a guest artist for the month creating between 5-20 equids, including a theme of the artists choice. (Guest artists are currently not completing breedings)

Other Prizes:
If you are selected to be a guest artist you get to design your own event custom to keep.

What can guest artists do?

• Make new adopts (up to 20)
  
• Make their own 6 equid theme
• Make their own event custom to keep

What can guest artists not do?


• Complete breedings
• Offer customs to others without prior agreement
There is a small chance you may become a full time artist by popular demand, blending with the existing team or both. This is not guaranteed.
The equids you make here are not real and are not to be advised as real.

Hints and Tips

• You will be judged on accuracy of coat markings and description so make sure they align
• Ragtails only account for 1 in 10 equids, so we would prefer to see more regular examples then ragtail
• You do not need to create a theme - in fact, we would prefer to see your skills on a general basis
• You do not need to do the suggested coats but it will help us see how you interpret the prompts
• You are unlikely to do event equids as a guest artist, so whilst it is a good showcase of skill we want to see more regular equids

Monthly Prompts

1. An equid based off the king crown conch shell.
2. A dark equid with dark quipping, the quipping must be visible on the base but the whole equid must be as dark as possible. There must be a white marking on the face and legs to balance the dark. Must have filled quipping.
3. A flaxen sooty chestnut splash equid with pinpoint or swirl inverse quipping. It must have green eyes.

guest artist information

guest artists will be hired 1-2 at a time, for one calendar month. once their time is coming to an end, full time staff will decide on whether or not to extend an official artist position. this is subject to change depending on interest as well. guest artists will be given a 1 unlimited uc myo slot upon hire!

artist search rules

♡ each artist search entry can have uncommon and below edits. nothing above uncommon. when an official guest artist, you will likely only be creating common and below, so think of this as quality of designs over quality of lineart changes!
♡ you must submit a minimum of 2 entries to be considered. you cannot submit more than 4 per month.
♡ make sure to follow the traits/edits list!
♡ make sure to link all of your prior entries!
