How long have you been on CS?: I've been on CS since 2012, but lost my old account
and made this one in September, 2014.
How active are you on CS?: I'm usually on CS 2-5 hours a day, it really depends on the
day though. On weekends I may be on 4-6 hours and weekdays 1-3 hours.
Have you adopted from SBZ before?: Yes, I love my fox Sandy and Kyle, my horse, I adopted a couple
days ago, I hope to get another fox, though <3.
Would you consider yourself an active member of the SBZ community?: I would say so, I
check the adoptions, talk on the fan club, and sometimes help other people. If I was a guest
artist I would become more active, though. I've been stalking it since the third page xD.
Would you later be interested in becoming a permanent artist if it was offered to you?:
Yes! I would absolutely accept to be a permanent artist if I got the offer, it would be an honor.
Have you had any past experience as an adoptable artist? If so, can you provide links?:
Yes, I in the progress of making this: Animal Balloons. I'm also an artist of Moostache Adopts, it's still pretty new.
Is there anything else you would like to ask or mention?: I had a folder just for this competition, I was very organized because I would never find them otherwise XD(I may sound a little nerdy xD). I use FireAlpaca and MS Paint to color, depending on which one I'm coloring. I use GIMP to make the MS Paint ones transparent.
Thank you for this opportunity!
Being a SBZ artist would be an honor to me, I absolutely adore these lines and community. Congrats
to whoever wins!
Extra Info:
- I live in EST, so I'm generally on 7-10 at that time.
- I can make unnatural or natural entries, though I prefer natural.
- The fox, bear, and deer lines are my favorite so if I won I would probably make litters with them.
- I probably could make litters whenever you ask, except for February 13th because that is my birthday and I'm doing something that day C:.
Entries:
1.) Here's my first entry, based off a grey fox with some shading.

He was the first one I made and I'm pretty proud of him C:
He is natural-based.


2.)Here's my second entry, based off an Albino Bear. Credit to original photographer.

I love your bear lineart, it's one of my favorites.
There is also white on the bear you may need to back up (or if on PC tilt the screen back) to see it.
He is natural-based.

3.) Here's my third entry, based off a pastel color pallete raccoon. I love pastel colors because they seem soft and pretty.

This one has minor line edits, the wings.
I always seem to do a raccoon entry (even though that "always" has only been one time before xD).
She is unnatural-based.

4.) Here's my fourth entry, based off a random thought. Kinda reminds me of dreams. Yes, yet again another fox, I love their lineart so much (favorite probably). I really love this one, I would like this to be my custom if I won, I haven't thought of a gender yet though. I finally thought of a gender, female, took forever though.

She is unnatural based.
She would be named Dreamer


5.) Here's my fifth and final entry, I changed it from the kangaroo, then from a lioness, then finally a deer XD. I really liked this color pallete but I couldn't find the right animal. But, I finally settled on a deer.

He is unnatural based.

How long have you been on CS?:
I joined on March 19th, 2011, so four years? I think so x3
How active are you on CS?:
Quite active. I'm on most days. If i'm going away/ going to be offline for a while, I tend to notify people.
Have you adopted from SBZ before?:
Yes ^^ I'm the proud owner of a cute little 'roo named Kyro :3
Would you consider yourself an active member of the SBZ community?:
I'd say so. Half the time I feel like I post too much on the fanclub X3 I followed the thread for a few weeks before finally adopting Kyro.
Would you later be interested in becoming a permanent artist if it was offered to you?:
Absolutely, I'd love to.
Have you had any past experience as an adoptable artist? If so, can you provide links?:
Yes. I can't put links to all of them, there are just too many X3 but I'll give you my most recent adopts, and my first two ever (which look dreadful but it was 4 years ago ^^;)
viewtopic.php?f=52&t=2489995&p=78687168#p78687168 <-- Newest one (2014)
viewtopic.php?f=58&t=547152 <--- first ever one ^^; (2011)
viewtopic.php?f=58&t=584079 <--- first ever one that I made X3 so the pixel art is dreadful. (2011)
Is there anything else you would like to ask or mention?:
Hmm, I have lots of free time, as I'm in school part-time at the moment (working on it :\) and even when i was in full time school (and when i am again in the future) I was on CS every evening X3, I'm a girl and I'm in my teenage years. I'm also an Otaku (I'm assuming, since you're a Hetalia fan, you know what that is X3), and a Geek.
I know I've uploaded the images as attachments, but if I was accepted as an artist/guest artist I would make an account on an image hosting site :3 I'm making an account on a site now :3 the attachments are temporary. Okay, the attachments are gone :3
I wasn't sure if you prefered simple colours, or detail, so I did some of both ^^;
I should also let you know that I use GIMP as my image editor, and I had to use a mouse, because my Graphics tablet is broken >_<

Entries:
A little fox, bright colours, some detail.

A dark themed female Kangaroo, this is my line edit piece, as she is wearing a pendant. She was originally purple, but the dark grey looks nicer, in my opinion :3

A red wolf, to prove that realistic markings are something I can do X3

A lion with a mane that's fire themed. I've wanted to try out this idea for a while :3

A light blue themed snow leopard.


I've been having to physically restrain myself from doing more X3

How long have you been on CS?:
Apr 10, 2014, Don't be fooled by the date. I was actually a member back in 2011 but closed my account after I gave all my pets away for offsite currency.

How active are you on CS?:
I am on daily, usually I just lurk but I have been starting to post more often. I believe my timezone is way behind most of you all. CS rollover is at 4pm for me (5pm during seasonal time change).

Have you adopted from SBZ before?:
Yes, I have a little fox.

Would you consider yourself an active member of the SBZ community?:
I have the pages bookmarked and subscribed, so every time there is a post I get an email. I don't always post, but I am there ;D stalker to the extreme I suppose. I am trying to get over my online shyness and get involved when there are conversations between more then one person. Due to my timezone the threads are usually pretty quite. I think most of you are at school or work?

Would you later be interested in becoming a permanent artist if it was offered to you?:
Yes! I would jump at the opportunity if it was offered to me. I LOVE colouring peoples lines, and pixel work is so much fun!

Have you had any past experience as an adoptable artist? If so, can you provide links?:
Yes and No. My sister and I started one with her lines, but it didn't get up off the ground. I was starting my own, I even have quite a few of the lines made. I just sort of stopped after the weekend got super busy. I may pick it up again. I would love to share my little Luvvy's.

I also did these: Kouri, Deana, and Goldie they are wild knuffel on the kingdom of knuffel. They have 5 evolutions stages. If you would like to see them all please take a look here.
Have fun browsing thru my photobucket, the dragon art work was art I bought on FR, The lions from Lioden and the Pokemon where sprites I had made for me on pokefarm.
When making a wild you have a body base and that is it. So everything other then the head, body, arms and legs was the base. Everything else I drew myself.

Is there anything else you would like to ask or mention?:
Like I had mentioned above, I absolutely love colouring other peoples lines. I had so many idea's but with the limit of 5 I chose 5 pets that people already had in the sigboxes. I would have loved to have been able to do more mini edits. *so many ideas whirling around in my head*

Please take a gander at my entries and don't be shy to let me know (on the fan page) of any critiques you all have, I am still pretty new to pixels and spent a lot of time reading and watching tutorials before I even started colouring these guys.

-If I am chosen I have a different recolor I would like to use as a custom, so the raccoon would be up for anyone

Entries:

When coloring this fellow, I used an image of a kangaroo rat. I've always like those little rodents and thought it would be fitting to colour a kangaroo as a little kangaroo rat. I hope he appeals to you all.


This fellow is my line edit entry. I am so happy with the way he came out. At first I had done an albino Raccoon, but felt he was a little underwhelming. Then I had the idea of doing a Rainbow Tail, and it sort of just took off from there. He now has a sort of '80's feel or a Lisa Frank feel.


I used a husky as a guide when colouring this boy. Again I sort of deviated off and just went with it, not too happy with how the brown blends in. I might work on him a bit more.


I really wanted to do a stag with spots, so I did a google search and came across the spotted deer! So I used the breed when colouring this handsome fellow. I wasn't too sure if the spots where too large, but my husband liked them so I kept them as is.


This little lady went thru so many colour changes it was rediculus. She first started off white, then tan, then bright orange, a burnt orange, no stripes, stripes, patches. Finally I stopped with this. I had wanted to add some white to her, but felt it would be too much for her simple design. I hoped that maybe if I was selected she would find a handsome white male to breed with.

How long have you been on CS?:
A year an a half-ish. (Not the best at math. XD)
How active are you on CS?:
I tend to be on quite often, depending on time of year (probably more then I should be on! XD).
Have you adopted from SBZ before?:
I've tried for a while, but can never get one in time.
Would you consider yourself an active member of the SBZ community?:
Not currently, because I have no pets, but I try!
Would you later be interested in becoming a permanent artist if it was offered to you?:
Yes, I would absolutely love it!! I love this place, and it's lineart, and how it works. I would practically pass out if I was offered to be a permanent artist!
Have you had any past experience as an adoptable artist? If so, can you provide links?:
I have worked as an artist at the Frog Pond, and I now own it. I started Peg's Pixel Pet Place a while back, but it never really got much attention, nor did I have enough time to continue it. I helped out Kiwilady design some items in Willowbank Ponies, but I cannot use Oekaki, so I never became an artist. I was an artist at Starfish for a while until it recently closed. Currently, I'm the owner of Snowball Fluffs and the Frog Pond V.2 (mentioned before).
Is there anything else you would like to ask or mention?:
Thank you for this opportunity!

How long have you been on CS?: Technically, since 2009...but I was gone for a long time, I came back in Feb 2014.
How active are you on CS?: Every day, I keep it open on both my phone and my ipad so it's running in the background.
Have you adopted from SBZ before?: I am lucky enough to have won a lioness and a horse in raffles, and a dolphin in a litter.
Would you consider yourself an active member of the SBZ community?: I try to be, but time zone differences make it difficult.
Would you later be interested in becoming a permanent artist if it was offered to you?: Probably not, I'm not very good, and I suck at coming up with designs *facepalm* so a few GA pets scattered randomly throughout the year would work best for me?
Have you had any past experience as an adoptable artist? If so, can you provide links?: No.
Is there anything else you would like to ask or mention?: Not at the moment.

How active are you on CS?: Usually way too much, and I usually go on at least once a day, but sometimes under certain circumstances, I don't go on.
Have you adopted from SBZ before?: 3 times, a deer, a kangaroo, and a horse, all being female and unnaturally colored. I honestly choose randomly, I don't know how it happens.
Why do you want to become a SBZ Mini-Mod?: Well, I know a good amount of stuff, I'm not mean if I point out if someone breaks the rules (Yes, I'm guilty of modding a bit without being a mod), and I personally LOVE the adoptables and the people who help it, so being one of those people would just... wow me.

Have you had any past experience as a mod for any other thread on CS? If so, can you provide links?: No, sadly. On almost all of them, there isn't a mod form, and when there is the slots are always filled.
