why do you want to be an artist for nishinekos? i think they're a very cute concept, and i think it'd be really fun to make these little buddies! I like to make people happy, so making these funny fishy friends for others would be a great way to make others smile!

I also have previous species artist experience, as I was an artist for a species called Cerbecats before it shut down/owner left CS. Here are some of my litters I made! (It says nooroodarkwingsrise was my old username before I changed to leonscharizard)

do you want to become a full artist in the future or stay as a guest artist?: I would probably prefer to be a guest artist for the foreseeable future.

past art experiences? I've been drawing on and off since I was in middle school, and I found a love for graphic design. My skills are a bit rusty, and I really mostly have experience making humanoids. I think I'm starting to find my groove again, but I'm still very much learning!
why do you want to become an artist for nishinekos? Nishinekos are fun! I like them just for what they are, cute little guys with fish friends. They're a constraint that makes me think about what I know about sealife, and I get to play around with an idea I like! It's already making me want to learn more, and consider how I could do better. My previous application had worse designs, specifically because I wasn't sure how to add more life and color into the nishi designs. With a little advice, I'm already seeing improvement! But, even if I don't get to be an official nishi artist, I've just had fun, and broadened my horizons a bit. So, thanks for that opportunity, and the critique!
what would you be able to make: I'd be able to make litters, probably some customs, and I'd be willing to try some breedings! I do like putting designs together and making designs inspired by other ones. I could probably do some items, too!

Thanks again for this opportunity! I'm just having fun.

Full Time, I don´t like to do things half. Either all or nothing (at least when it comes to my work) but I might only be able to make one litter every two months or so, but I plan to stay longer than a month if possible ^^

✔️
past art experiences?
I´ve been drawing for as long as I can think back, started joining communities like these about 10 years ago and never (completely) lost interest. There are times where I might be gone, but I won´t disappear completely
why do you want to become an artist for nishinekos?
I love the concept of them and it seem s like a lot of fun to be part of an uma! Also I want to become better at pixel art as thats something I´ve never dipped into before. Btw I´m from germany, so excuse my bad grammer at times, I try my best to learn lol
what would you be able to make:
Anything, preferably litters but I can definitely do customs and litters too!

Went for a betta fish this time, honestly I´m not really satisfied with the outcome yet, but it was my first attempt and I haven´t quite figured out the pen settings yet. I´ll add a few more when I have more time! ^^

either way works with me!
do you have a discord account and can join the server?
Yes!! in it right now as namiwami!
past art experiences?
I've been drawing for a pretty long time, but I've never been an UMA artist before! I've done commissions and drawn for zines ^^ If you have an artfight acc the non-pixel art I have uploaded there is pretty recent
why do you want to become an artist for nishinekos?
Above all I just think it'd be fun and a cool thing to be a part of!! I'd also very much like to try my hand at improving my pixel art :3 I'm a big cat lover and I was super happy to see a cat-based UMA with such lovely lovely lineart!!
what would you be able to make:
All of these interest me, but I think breedings sound the most enticing!! I really like the idea of mish-mashing the traits of two nishis together for a litter. sounds fun :> I've always had fun designing OCs so customs are also a big draw for me hee hee
insert your examples here--

The first one is a Nishineko that is definitely not a normal cat trying to be a Nishineko. Please ignore the strange shape of its tail and how motionless its fish friend is
The second one is a sleepy, dreamy Nishineko!! I feel like I could've executed the concept a little better but I was in a bit of a rush lmaodjfsdhfds

past art experiences? I just like doing pixel art. Been doing it for a while now. Usually I just make little animated things to surprise people with.
why do you want to become an artist for nishinekos? They are so adorable, and I figure it would be a good experience.
what would you be able to make: Whatever you think I'm good for, really. I won't be able to really get INTO it until probably november, though, since I'll be in hospital for a while.

Here are the two I whipped up.



And here's some other recent pixel work.
