~♥~Dark Sonata~♥~

Welcome to Dark Sonata! I am Anna Vanity.

This is like a lot of threads out there: an adoptables one. But the difference with this is... well, these bases were drawn by ME. By hand first. But yeah.

With the permission/help of my buddy TheNightsIllusion, I have done an adoptables thread inspired by her Chibi Park. So expect to see a few things here that CP has.

I will be VERY open to suggestions as to what I can add to the thread (be it new lineart ideas, banner options, etc.), so feel free to PM me stuff like that (make sure the PM title relates to my thread please).

Well then, without further ado, let us begin!

-If it wasn't already obvious, there hasn't been much activity on here. My reason is because... well, I still don't have a computer of my own. I have surgery tomorrow and I can't even consider finding a job until I completely recover. So yeah; sorry guys! I'll make sure I work my butt off after I recover to get a job and a computer to get this thread up and running again T-T
Wednesday, June 27th, 2012
- As I will be working on redrawing some of the lines for some pets, a vast majority of the species will be currently unavailable to adopt from or get customs from. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I really want to fix them...

- I need ALL available staff to PM me... and by available I mean that you're online enough to make me some batches or something IMMEDIATELY.

~♥~Rules~♥~

Make sure you read these BEFORE doing anything on this thread! Otherwise we will have issues.

1.) NO art theft
2.) NO being rude to ANYONE on this thread EVER. This is supposed to be a friendly environment, folks! Let's KEEP it that way.
3.) I have the right to reject ANY order for ANY reason.
4.) I do customs/batches in any order I wish, whenever I feel like it. Do not badger me about it or you will receive a warning.
5.) DO NOT whine, harass, or spam! I do NOT want to hear "Oh, I can't wait for you to open slots" or "Darn, I missed another batch" or even "Why did you do ___'s custom when I ordered before them?"... seriously, this is not only annoying, but also rude. So don't do it.
6.) If you are not an actual staff member, don't boss anyone around and tell them what to do. That's not the job of the customer.
7.) Criticism is not welcome here. If you don't like this art style, don't post. Plain and simple.
8.) For customs, I only want a picture reference! No exceptions!
9.) You can only order 3 customs a day. Otherwise you're gonna swamp me with WAY too much to do and I won't be happy with you for that.
10.) In the case of batch/pound adoptions, you may only adopt once a day! Seriously, other people need a chance to adopt something too.
11.) Make sure all forms and payments are accurate. If they are not, you will be rejected and will have to make another form. You will also NOT be allowed to edit unless I say you can.
12.) If there is no price on a pet in the pound, do not post a form for it. You will be rejected.
13.) These pets CANNOT be resold! Give them back to me if you don't want them anymore.
14.) If you wish to use these as actual characters, it's fine (EXCEPT FOR TEOS)... though if you intend to make them a fursona, PLEASE tell me about it first, and stick to only ONE being fursona if you really need one as a fursona (exception is if you ordered your fursona as a custom).
15.) I will NOT accept actual photographs as character references.
16.) Do NOT double/multi-post! Only I can do that. You must wait til someone else posts before you can post again.
17.) All Tess rules apply!

Alrighty... onto the pets themselves! This is based HIGHLY off the system TNI uses, so yeahhh...

As you will notice, a lot of them are not available... that's because they are not drawn yet, so sorry about that -.-

On the upside, you can see what will be here XD

You will also find that some of them will have almost the same lines/pose, but with variations... that's because I'm 1.) too lazy to do ALL different lines, and 2.) gonna hurt myself/stress out too much if I swamp myself with all that. Just letting you know.

~♥~The Breeding Expert~♥~
::CLOSED::::OPEN::

Come here if you wish to breed some pets you've adopted/ordered!

Rules To Breeding

1.) If 2 people are doing one breeding together, they MUST post the same form (as well as indicating who owns what). If it's only one person breeding 2 of their pets, it's all good.
2.) NO CROSSBREEDING! The only exception is if you use an item for it.
3.) If cross breeding DOES happen, based on rarities, some things on one pet will NOT transfer to offspring
4.) Whoever pays the most/uses the most items gets to make first pick.
5.) A form MUST be posted when adopting.
6.) Take turns. First picker picks one, then second, then first, etc.
7.) There's a limit to how many in the litter you may adopt (varies depending on breeding): you only get that limit
8.) You may NOT adopt a pet from your own breeding once it hits the pound.
9.) To allow certain breedings/results to happen, you must use items

*WIP*
Note: I intend to have an archives working too, so that stuff from customs/breeding/etc. will be properly stored.

Hey, maybe you're one of those people that are like, "Well I can't ALWAYS wait for free pets to come to do breedings and such!" Trust me, I can be like that too. Well then, this is where to go! You can order customs of your own characters, OR you can order color customs and all that.

I don't have any more customs to finish.

~♥~Price Guide~♥~

It has been asked if I plan to give customs for free or something... the answer is simple: NO. If I were to do that, people would get only one custom and the thread would never open again. So no; there IS a price for it. Here's the guidelines for it

And this is a guideline WITHOUT the use of any Elixirs; the Elixirs would have to be purchased in advance to be used and posted on the form itself (you CANNOT buy an elixir while ordering custom).

Starting Price: 500 DS
Simple Line Edits (Hair, Small Mutations, Simple Accessories in Small Quantity, Glow If Not Part of Species): Add 20 DS
Moderate Line Edits (Lots of Simple Accessories, More than 3 Mutations): Add 50 DS
Major Line Edits (Many Mutations, Very Complex Add-Ons, Detailed Accessories): Add 200 DS

The Major Line Edits thing MAY be a bit excessive, but it takes a lot of time for me to get very detailed things to look right.

~♥~Examples~♥~
This image is from my Necro Daemon thread:

This is Night's character, Trey; expect to see a custom of him here too. And ignore the fact that this base is NOT used on this thread; this is a reference to see what I view the pricing to be like.

Anyway, his hair, necklace, and the accessories on his legs are simplistic for me, therefore Night would add 20 DS per edit (and YES, PER edit), adding a total of 60 DS so far (the stuff on the legs is simple enough to count as one edit).
His markings are fairly simple, so Night would not have to add any DS for that, neither would she add any DS for the Necro Daemon details (unless she wanted him to be a Necro Daemon on here as well.
Now, the wings (GOD those wings -___-) Are VERY complex (Took 2 hours to do on the ref you can see), so Night would have to add 200 DS for that.

Now, 500 (Starting Price) + 60 (3 Small Edits) + 200 (1 Major Edit) = 760 DS Total
It MAY seem like a lot, but to be fair, I spend a lot of time on these to make sure they look as close to the ref as possible, and as such it takes a lot of time to do.

Anyway, one more example, again from Necro Daemon thread:

This is Sokudo kuroi akuma, and it belongs to Flicka. Again, this base is NOT part of this thread at all.

The multitude of swirly black lines in the white sections count as a moderate edit, so Flicka would have to add 50 DS for it (the other markings are simple and therefore don't add to DS total). She also wouldn't add any Necro Daemon details unless she uses a Necro Elixir on the pet as well.

500 (Starting Price) + 50 (Moderate Edit) = 550 DS Total

~♥~Exchange~♥~

This is where you can exchange CS Pets/items for DS (Dark Stars)! Remember to check The Mage post to see what you already start with.
Note: If the price says "__ DS per __" I am hoarding. if it says "__ DS each" or "__ DS" I am not hoarding and will remove it once I obtain it. ALSO, I am ONLY looking for the ones that are shown here. NO exceptions!

= 1 000 DS each
= 2 000 DS each
= 500 DS per fairy
= 1 000 DS per fairy
= 2 000 DS each
= 1 000 DS per plushie
= 3 000 DS per bird
= 2 000 DS
= 3 000 DS each
= 2 500 DS per dragon
= 4 000 DS per mask
= 200 DS per suit
= 100 DS per eye thing
= 1 000 DS per hair
= 4 000 DS for FULL set
= 10 000 DS per pet ( or 100 000 DS per FULL set) AND 3 free customs (does not include the Teos)

And that's just items/store stuff. Here's how the exchange from pets to DS works.

2008 Wishlist pets & 2009 Rare/Very Rare Wishlist pets = 5 000 DS per Wishlist pet
2009 Common/Uncommon Wishlist pets = 3 000 DS per Wishlist pet
Toxic Pets (2008 pets) = 10 000 DS per Toxic
2010, 2011, and 2012 Rare/Very Rare Wishlist pets = 2 000 DS per Wishlist pet
2010, 2011, and 2012 Common/Uncommon Wishlist pets = 1 000 DS per Wishlist pet

[Angel Daiyu]

~♥~The Teos~♥~
CUSTOMS CLOSED

The legendary Teos (plural Teos)... a creature of mystery, indeed. These creatures have a heart-shaped gem to show their soul, or true nature, as well as being surrounded by a shroud of sorts. This shroud changes colors frequently, which displays the emotion it feels at the time.

They also bare 3 feather-like tails with the markings of the sun, moon, and star... and one of those markings are on their forehead as well. These forehead markings indicate what type of Teos they are: Sun, Moon, or Star.

The Teos have 2 sides (though they are not against each other): the Sun side and the Moon side. In their home, Illusia, there are stars in the day AND night time, so the Star Teos are split amongst the Sun and Moon side.

Each Teos also has a snall companion, called Azurials. These companions are born with the birth of the Teos and assumes a similar appearance to the Teos itself, and can be born with bat-like wings or bird-like ears, which are adorned on their heads. Another fun fact: their eyes are the same color as their owner's gem.

Rules for the Teos
General
1.) For customs, they are allowed to have chibi wings and hair as line edits. I will NOT change the tails or tail markings, nor will I remove the tails, shroud, gem, or marking on their heads. To do so would defeat the purpose of the Teos, so I won't do that.
2.) Don't try to get customs of characters who have no personalities; no Teos survives without a personality
3.) The Azurials will be done as a separate image, and virtually no line edits are allowed except for hair (you CAN choose what kind of wings it has
4.) You CANNOT have just an Azurial or JUST a Teos... you get BOTH.
5.) These creatures are to NOT be used outside of here or used as characters unless I give permission! You will be reported if you go against this!

Breeding
1.) They can breed with virtually EVERY species... however, the offspring will be born only as the animal the Teos breeds with, and with almost no inherited traits of the Teos except for body color and OCCASIONALLY the marking on their forhead.
2.) If a Teos on one side breeds with a Teos on the opposite side, the offspring will consist of MOSTLY Star Teos.
3.) Azurials cannot breed on their own... their owner must breed with another Teos, and THEN the Azurial breeds with whatever companion their owner's partner has as a companion.

~♥~Color Guide~♥~

This guide will show certain personality traits and emotions in each of the listed colors. The Teos gem is usually one color, but can be every color in the rainbow as well. Same concept applies to the shroud, but it's usually only 2 colors at most.

*NOTE* Some emotions and personality traits are NOT listed for the obvious reason that there's WAY too many to list. If there's a trait your characters have that isn't listed, just pick what color from the following that fits the most (and let me know the trait). Different shades are also allowed, but you must tell me ahead of time
*ANOTHER NOTE* They don't need EVERY trait listed to be a certain color... one is good enough.
