How active are you on CS? I'm on about 9+ hours on the weekdays and 15+ on Sundays and some Fridays.
Will you be able to join the Discord? Yes, I have a discord account.
What Would you Improve First if you were Selected? If I was allowed, the item placement of the free beginner bag and the main page. I think the main page is only factual and not very enticing. I'd probably put the starter bag somewhere near the main page so that more people see it. I know that when I first saw gear deer I never even thought of having enough pets to own gears so I didn't look at items, passing by the free bag. I'd mention it somewhere on the front page so that when people go to look at it they see more things they can do such as gather in the fields, gear conversion, and customs.
Example:

Welcome to Gear Deer!

Gear Dear are automatous cervine who keep companions for the magical properties they possess. The world they live in is a fantastical steampunk wilderness. These creatures use Gears as their currency. Adopt a Gear Deer today to get started!

Welcome to Gear Deer!

Gear Dear are automatous cervine, they live in a fantastical steampunk wilderness with their companions! [Probably something that makes gear deer personal like "They love flowers" something that makes them feel real] These magical creatures use gears () as their main currency. Gear Deer are free and have many activities that they can do! Adopt a Gear Deer and a free starter bag() today!

How active are you on CS? I hop on CS almost every day! Usually, I spend around 1-2 hours just scrolling around, looking for something to do. Once I do find something to occupy me, I'll stick to it for a while. In these circumstances, I would probably stay active for around 3-4 hours.
How much free time do you have? As long as I'm not working on homework, I have a lot of free time! I probably have around 4-5 hours of free time (throughout the day) on a normal weekday. On a normal weekend, however, I usually have around 6-7 hours of free time (throughout the day). I usually don't go on vacation very often, but if I ever did, I'd be sure to let you know ahead of time!
What image editing programs do you use? I usually use Pixlr, but more recently I have switched over to using GIMP as well. GIMP is considered more of a drawing program, but you can upload images to it and edit those, too. Although I am perfectly able to accommodate and use whatever program(s) you think would work well for me!
Will you be able to join the Discord? Yes! Even though you didn't ask, I do stay on Discord for around 3-4 hours every day when I'm actively performing a task that requires the use of it.

How active are you on CS?
ive slowed a bit lately but the general answer is "very active." i got depressed recently but i want to get back into art. i realize i closed my own UMA and thats a bit of a weird look, but basically, i already wanted to be *only* an artist. *running* it was too much. so being a guest artist seems like a good thing to get me back into the swing of things :) if you so choose :)
How much free time do you have?
i have a part time job so im free every afternoon/evening and have a 3-day weekend (PST)
What image editing programs do you use?
affinity photo
Are you in the Discord?

How active are you on CS?
Daily.
How much free time do you have?
Heavily depends on what’s going on. I am also a mod for PDS and easily get overwhelmed by things going on with my life currently. I think I could find time to edit some images in though.
What image editing programs do you use?
Procreate, but I can be flexible.
What kind of experience do you have editing images?
I used to do image edits and currently I do only these related to editing art pieces.
Are you in the Discord?
Yes.

How detail oriented are you? I love it when databases have every up-to-date important information (sometimes even those that are not really that important). It just makes life so much easier :D I really hate doing mistakes so I always make sure I check needed information at least 3 times before putting it in. I also try to not rush it, since that where most mistakes are always made.
