.: The Process :.

First, choose whether you will be applying for for part time (which is just coloring) or for Fulltime/breeder, and fill out the form on the next post



While we are not sure how many people we will be hiring, we still wish to test those running via Rounds.

Round 1: Where we test both part timers to be hired after this round, and get a feel for those trying out for Full time colorists.. You're allowed to color the template as many times as you want. This is mostly to test your coloring finess, your creativity, and skill as well as your eye for color.

Full time Colorists: Feel free to edit the template as you wish! It will help you get to round two.

Things to avoid: stamping unaltered brush designs, coloring via photograph, colors that clash horribly in painful, eyesearing combonations, clipart.

Entries can be found here

Round 2: this is where Full time colorists gain a shading template of one of the Familiars, which will act as a standin for and get to edit the crap out of them. Keep things Pg13 and under. The shading template will be made available when round two begins. Unauthorized use of Familiar (such as stealing the template to turn it into your own breedable/sig art) is strictly prohibited.

Round two entries will be submitted into a thread in the guild



Round 3: Breeding 2 of the Familiars together.

We will give you a mix and matched couple and they must produce 2-3 babies. Feel free to play around and interpret their designs and how you feel they would go to gether. If you get a couple with lots of edits then just do what you are comfortable with.

Round Three entries will be submitted into a thread in the guild

Note about breedings: You will be doing the "adult" stage of the breedings. However, when Breeding starts officially, Edits will start off as minimalistic and advance as the child grows into adulthood.


Round three entries!

.: Thread Raffle :.


Colorist: Mindsend

First, we random number several pages from our thread. And then all the names on non-bumping or double+ repeat "spam" posts on said pages are added to a raffle. That way, our staff doesnt die soon after the event, but being active here will be rewarded

Example: If you post, then post right after it with another paragraph, only the first one will be counted unless there was a 5 minute break between them, but if someone posts between the two posts, both will count, as long as they are a sentence conversing with other people. This way people cant spam the pages and get 10 posts right after another, since they will only get 1 ticket for all of it and scolded for their behaviors. XD


This ends after the event is closed and will be rolled for on the main thread.

the following people will not be counted

Blacklisted accounts, as always, cannot be involved.
Other account names that will not be counted: Mindsend (the colorist), Sandpaints, Sandpaints Staff, Sandpaints Arrivals, sandpaints magic, Kitxoone, or any of Mindsend's many many mules. Other staff members, including owners Zephlis and Holy Blasphemy, WILL be counted since they were not involved in the creation of the prize, as long as they are not on Shop Mules.
