Any past/current experience in being an artist for a UMA?: I am an Off-Oekaki artist for the species covered under the Storkverse! (mainly Storkatten)
Position applying for: Sqim Maker
Tell me about your designs:
Standards: I wanted to make it look like little flowers were growing off the back of this Sqim, maybe living around a swamp with a lot of water that would mean plants would have opportunities to grow on them like snapping turtles! for the purple one, I went with more classic lizard patterns, defining some scales and working with one colour in varying shades.
Strange: What can I say? I like sharks, and thought the laying down lineart would be perfect for a little mer-sqim. Theyre not based off of a specific shark. With the winged one, I also just like drawing wings! I find them fun to work with and wanted to go for a more "angelic" vibe with this Sqim.

Any past/current experience in being an artist for a UMA?: not yet!
Position applying for: artist :3
Example Sqims:

this guy was made just to play around with textures and colors! i wanted to go for a halloween theme with a bit of a demon influence, hence the weird little horns. i think i got the intended spooky vibes across! the colours were a little far out of my comfort zone, but i think they turned out okay.

this guy's a dragon too, but a little more in my comfort-zone in terms of colors!! i love how they turned out and wanted to give them a distinguishable character design, which i think i succeeded in. they are also based off a dragon.

and this fella is just silly!!! i wanted to make a character on these lines that i could actually see having an obviously silly personality, so i came up with this guy to have a very thoughtless expression

this guys a little simplistic!! i love their neutral colours, and they were mostly just a test to see if i could do realistic colors on these lines and make them work! i like how they turned out.

they're a little fiery and blue newt! again, i was just testing out what funky patterns i could do, and i really like how their back colors turned out. they look pretty volcanic to me, and i like that :3

Any past/current experience in being an artist for a UMA?: I am an item artist for Scalie Hounds, and I run Kibbies & Kibbins/am the only artist for them.
Position applying for: Squim Maker/Breeding Helper (I only wish for one of the 2 positions, but I can work with either!)
Tell me about your designs: For my strange squim I made one which was inspired by the idea of narwhals being the "unicorn of the sea", and the other one I designed as a sea monster theme! For my standards I was playing around with different patterns that were sort of monochrome, and somehow got to the pink snake that looks like its been eating jam, and the other one looking like a purple rock XD
