I'm doing a thing,, be proud. And as you can see my handwriting is trash,,, sos

Username ;; Diamond Sapphire
Position ;; Main Artist
How often are you online ;; I'm online for about 3-4 ish hours a day in the afternoon. I'm usually not able to do much on Tuesdays, since it's a busy day of the week for me. And sometimes I might be hanging out with my friends, so I won't be extremely active on those days !!
Will you be on the community discord ;; I have already joined !
Do you have past experience ;; With Dragon Puffs. Most of the designs I made, though, are on V.2
Some of your favorite past designs ;; Some aren't realistic designs,, but one, two, three and four. Note that none of the linked ones I have used pen pressure on, but the entries I'll be making will (most likely) have pen pressure usage.
What would you contribute to the staff team ;; I can contribute with anything other staff members need help with their workload. I understand that sometimes, staff members might be swamped with work and I'll be more than happy to help out and offer to do some of it if they want to. I can acknowledge the fact if they want to do the work their selves, but I'm always willing to help out in the community ^^
What are some of your strengths and weaknesses ;; For strengths, (design wise) I enjoy making markings I've never done before. It's fun, and I always like to expand my designing skills !! Personality wise, I'm a fairly quick learner, depending on what I'm being taught ! For weaknesses, I seem to struggle with merles. I'm doodling dogs with merle once and a while, hoping to improve my merle skills ,, if that makes sense pfffttt. I also kinda struggle with ticking that covers most of the body, like this. I also sometimes might not be able to think of a good enough design, but let's hope that doesn't happen !!
What is a situation where you would be biased ;; I honestly have a hard time judging at times, and might need a bit of help when it comes to that n stuff ! In more detail, I usually like art in forms than anything else, meaning I might choose a form with art in it than one with the equal writing value instead.
Any additional information / other ;; I can't do Genotypes ! I'm kinda okay with Phenotypes but Genes,, I never learned them ;u; I'm willing to be taught though ! But if you have any questions or concerns about this or my entries, feel free to DM me on Discord or toss me a PM <3

I'll be less formal since I know you and I'm really lazy pffbt
Basically I like your entries and think they're good quality, I think the only thing that would need attention to is accuracy- for example, your first entry looks good and I like it but it isn't fully realistic in terms of how the markings are

here is an example of tan points; granted theyre not red so theyre a color change, but same idea, so the inner part of the leg has the red all the way up, you got good range of the outside legs and face and chest though~ just the inside marking that would need attention ^^
a good example of a sweetnose design with points would be- viewtopic.php?f=53&t=3262783

also I really like your merle design, its well done! my only comment on that is to just make sure that the nose and eyes match up with the coat color- since the merle is diluted the nose should be a grey / blue tone, and the eyes should be an amber! you can look up nose + eye color stuff here to see what corresponds with what-

but that's not much of a big thing, the design itself is really good and I'm honestly quite happy with it!

so, well done! I adore your designs and work and I like your application ^^

so it's just minimal stuff like that, just making sure that the designs are accurate with the markings, otherwise I do love your work and will definitely be considering- my tip would be to reference reference reference all you can, that way the markings are at least in the general vicinity! look at different pictures and views to see what the marking looks like, or go on that genetics website since it will go over markings in depth and really is helpful with guides!
if you have the time to do another design or two I'd love to see some more, maybe a sable or a brindle would be good, especially if you like doing cat markings then we have the brindle that turns into the kitty markings :0 if you ever need help with anything you can always feel free to ask and we'll spot check anything for you as well, we're always here to help and lend a hand! learning dog designs takes practice and we're really collaborative so ^^
but overall thank you for your entry and I'll definitely bee keepin an eye out on you :' >
