Mod [18+] and Artist Apps [Closed for Judging]

Commissions of characters will be less helpful for your applications because we are most interested in seeing your design ability for the pet artist role. You can still submit those as examples of your art skills in general but unique original design examples are much more helpful at boosting your odds.

For design examples, would you be looking for "filled in" creations such as colored in adoptables or would character and creature designs be acceptable as well?

Is it too late to apply?

nope! as long as you can still access the application link on the front page, then you are free to apply still

Both are acceptable but colored in adoptables are the most applicable!

When it comes to the color pallette are we allowed to add more value like lighten the blue but still use all the base colors provided?

Good luck to all those who've entered! Alas, I do not have the free time like I did; so I didn't throw my hat in the ring this round. <3

now that i've made a nice little entry i feel so impatient XD

like it's perfectly understandable why we can't all see each others' entries... but god do i want to see them. especially for the palettes i didn't choose, i want to see them so badly ><

You should not edit the palette; please only work with the colors provided.

I've come up with some questions while working on my applications for artist roles (Pet an Item, I'd be stoked to do either!)

•) How much time, on average, are artists given from prompt delivery to deadline when all art files must be formatted and submitted? One week? Two weeks? I figure there's gotta be time for code magic to be done and for actual review of submitted designs.

•) How much *quantity* of work are artists, on average, given? (Interested in knowing both for Guest and Official artist roles) To restate; like, how many pets per month are the average expectation of quantity to create designs?

•) I'm screaming at myself because most my art in the last few years has been purely self-indulgent fanart for my favorite fandoms, so most my nicest, strongest artwork isn't suitable to submit officially as a portfolio. Is it okay to link my portfolios in my app? I tried to select drawings of mine that were relevant more to showing off my drawing and painting skills, but my subject matter isn't always pet / animal specific >.<'


Also, suggestion; would it be useful to start an FAQ somewhere for all these questions and their responses? (if there already is one I have failed to find it ope) I've seen the same ones come up a few times in the thread. I've tried to read every post but I always worry I've missed something

There are not so much "prompts" as regularly expected deadlines. The sites hosts the same events every year so the artist can take as much time as they desire to prepare. The only exception would be a summer event, which has several months of preparation. Artists are given the freedom to come up with their own ideas for monthly pets.

Artists usually work by litter or item set. Pet artists are usually expected to produce at least one litter per month, plus something for events. Guest artists may only produce a couple litters per year.

You can still only submit a max of 6 images. You could take the images you like best from your portfolio and upload them to the application!
