IFF's are back! Read the 2nd post for more info!

Visit the Irregular Flutter Ferret Official Topic for more info.

~≈º What is an Irregular Flutter Ferret? º≈~
Flutter ferrets in general are very small. The largest specimens are usually around 12" long. Irregular Flutter Ferrets have the additional designation of being very lithe and slender. Their movement through the air has been described as serpentine, with the body rippling from side to side. They have two sets of diaphanous wings that work in tandem: one set at the shoulders and the other set at the pelvis. In addition, IFFs have tufts of diaphanous "feathers" in strategic places on their bodies to add to surface area and assist in flight. Since they are small and relatively unthreatening, Flutter Ferrets tend to be prey for larger creatures.

~≈º Broods º≈~
Irregular Flutter Ferrets are social creatures. They live in family clans called Broods, which can number up to 1000 individuals and are differentiated by their main color. Their coloring can mean any number of things depending on the defenses the Brood has gained over the generations, be they poison or venom, magical abilities, or physical attributes. Broods of Flutter Ferrets are named after the region they live in, which correspond to the points of a compass if looked sideways on from the poles (Their planet is different than ours, with the poles on the sides and a vertical rotation rather than a horizontal one). Orange IFFs can be found in the Western Brood in the Western territory for instance. Some Irregular Flutter Ferrets contain many colors, but so long as they contain a large amount of a Brood's color, they are often welcomed.

Brood Wars
Broods are territorial, and will fight with other groups in contested territory. IFFs outright dislike other Ferrets from opposing regions.
Northern Brood vs. Southern Brood
Northeast Brood vs. Southwest Brood
Eastern Brood vs. Western Brood
Southeast Brood vs. Northwest Brood

• Do not complain if you don't get exactly what you want.
• Do not remove my signature from the lineart.
• Be sure to read the rules for adopting.

IFFs are back folks! I'm revamping them a little to make it easier to manage. For now, no customs and I need to figure out how to make breeding more manageable - perhaps I just have to do it myself. If you're still owed a ferret from last year before I disappeared off the face of the planet for a while, PM me and we'll figure something out.
So, what I need now are new staffers, particularly artists!

I'm looking for one or two extra artists to help me manage. You'll start off as a guest artist, and if I like your work I'll invite you to be a perma-artist. Every artist gets one custom for themselves.
Just use this form to apply:

Code: Select all

[b][color=#BF0040]I want to be an artist![/color][/b]
[b]Username:[/b]
[b]Gallery link:[/b]
[b]Have you colored adopts before (if so, which ones?):[/b]

I'm also looking for someone who can reliably manage the archive, so if you're interested in that, use this form:

Code: Select all

[color=#0080BF][b]I love archives![/b][/color]
[b]Username:[/b]
[b]Have you ever done an archive before? (If so, for what adopt?)[/b]

The lines look wonderful so far. ~

1. Would you guys be willing to trade pets for one (or more) of these? What should the price range be?

That entirely depends on the finished product, but from what I can see I would certainly trade in atleast a rare, otherwise you might lose a lot of potential customers if you charge more.

2. I'm new to CS, and thus to the way adoptables are run here. Should I have multiple artists who give me some sort of cut of their profits somehow?

Normally organizations don't cut their artists profits, if a customer has chosen that artist to draw for them, they get the pet. And yes, you should certainly hire more than one artist and perhaps a co-founder if you are new to this kind of theeng. ~ You should also get your artists via an art competition, once your line-art is done, the best colourers could gain the position of becoming an artist.

3. Definately I want to have contests and games to give some of these guys away. What sorts do you guys like?

Colouring contests and line-art contests are often the big ones, along with naming contests, which would get more people involved.

4. Which do you prefer, customs or premades?

I don't mind, normally you are given the option of customs and a special, which you probably would have to pay more in order to have it.
5. I'm toying with the idea of family clans and species habits etc. Do you guys prefer to have these sorts of details set out, or would you rather think up your own story for your adoptable?

Having a story for your own adoptable is always extremely entertaining, especially if you open up your own pound. Stories galore. xD Also, having a main breeding pair is good, and their offspring could become the possibly less-expensive ones for newer CS members.

Alrighty! The adoptable is finished! Now for the write-up. If you guys have any suggestions for me while I do this, please feel free to post them!
