ARTIST INFORMATION

Please try to take two batches per month. Artists are allowed to open slots up for c$ but the price must be looked over by me (just to make sure it isn’t drastic). I’d prefer if you had a set price but you can tack on more for higher tier rarities. It’s also advised that you do at least one raffle batch a month but it’s not required. Artists will receive 3 sun tokens which can be used to purchase items from the item shop. After three months of activity 3 more tokens will be tacked on.

GUEST ARTISTS receive one uncommon myo after they finish their term. A GA can create three batches within one month. They too can hold any type of competition and keep any profits.

How the batches work

Artists have up to two weeks after they accept the ticket to design the egg. Artists only have to design *one* egg based off of the parents. Once they submit the egg they then have two weeks to complete the hatchlings' designs. An artists is allowed to submit the egg before two weeks & the design but the egg must be posted for at least one week before the hatchling design can be posted.

Welcome to the nursery artist search! This is an ongoing search, meaning it is constantly open and we will be choosing a few new guest artists every once in a while! As this is ongoing, please do not create a cover for your entries, so we can see everything new that is posted!

【how-to】

❀Anyone can apply! Just pick two parents from the provided list (or one to clone; see nursery rules) and practice rolling for traits and combining their designs!
❀All designs must remain on oekaki at this time, on official lines.
❀No designs created from this search may be created as customs or sold.
❀ At any time, you may be invited to a guest artist nursery role. Nursery artists only create nursery batches, but have opportunities to become a full artist. As a nursery guest artist, you will create a specified amount of batches and then staff will vote to accept you as a full nursery artist. Anyone who is selected as a guest artist, whether accepted or rejected in the end, will receive an unlimited uncommon custom fumi slot.
