[position]
as an artist the expectation is that you will help contribute to premade prize pool, create herds and help with the breeding barn and custom token queues. optionally you can open for customs and run your own games/events.
the rewards you earn (ponies for yourself and friends, items, extra monthly breedings) are based on your contributions, so if you have a busy month and can’t contribute don’t worry, RL happens, but you won’t have earned rewards for that month. you will need to be comfortable with pixel art and somewhat familiar with natural horse coats and the PH rarity system (no complex genetics, just a case of “is this a natural horse or one with abnormal markings?” )
I would also like any staff to be able to join our staff discord so unfortunately you must be old enough to have a discord account, sorry!

here’s a reminder of the pixel herd rarities;

NN = natural/natural (common) i.e bay appaloosa
FN = fancy colour/natural markings (uncommon) i.e pink appaloosa
NF = natural colour/fancy markings (uncommon) i.e bay with tiger stripes
FF = fancy/fancy (fancy rarity) i.e pink tribal markings

you can see visual examples in the archive

[application]
please note these are minimum suggestions, if you’d like to colour more then please feel free!

standard artist:
showcase examples of the following;
4 NN, 1 FN horse, 1 NF horse, 1 FF horse

expanded artist: (optional)
showcase examples of the following;
4 NN, 1 FN horse, 1 NF horse, 1 FF horse, 2 LEs (a horse with a line edit)

+ item artist: (optional, along with either standard or expanded)
design a new decor item for horses to wear (or two if you’re inspired!)

I’m looking to reserve at least one spot for an artist looking to take on LEs or decor items <3

any notes?: I've never been a horse girlie, so I don't really know the ins and outs of horse patterns. I just think they're pretty,,, However, I am well-versed in pixel art and can easily switch between using a soft brush or hard pixel brush. I'm also comfortable with making items and simple animations :3
