Welcome to Gaia! ::

User ImageKitty Speaks:
Yesyes, hello all my lovelies. I suppose if you’re here, it’s to apply for a position at the Mountain Valley Rex Ranch. First, allow me to explain WHY we are taking on more staff.

Lately it has come to my attention that many of the wonderful staffers here at MVRR are just too busy with life and others things to take on the full load I have given them. Things have become severely slow (largely by my own fault), and shop attendance has begun to dwindle to occasional visits. Because of that, I have decided to open MVRR’s doors to several new staffers, in the hopes of breathing some new life into the shop!

All of the requirements and what you’ll need to know about each position will be posted below. Please take some time to review everything, and apply if you think you’re qualified! But before you do, please remember:

ALL APPLICATIONS ARE TO BE POSTED HERE ON THE HIRING THREAD!

Please don’t PM the mule! It gets crowded thar D8

Also, to all my CURRENT colorists: You're not loosing your jobs! You are more than welcome to remain on as staff, though your status will be determined by how much work you continue to produce for MVRR (IE, full-time colorists that can no longer color full time, will simply be considered part-time colorsts).

Misty55
Colorist Application
Preferred Nickname: Misty or Renee
How long have you been on Gaia?: Since Dec. 03
What Experience do you have with B/C shops?: I've owned and colored for my own shop since Spring 04, including certing and setting up events, FS's, and auctions, etc.
Have you ever colored (or are currently coloring) for a B/C shop? (if so, please list the name of the shop(s) you’ve worked for): Yes. I currently color, when I want to, for my own shop FoA (Forest of Alti'uin), and color for Gates to Oblivion, a new shop that's still getting started and isn't at all busy. Well...both aren't that busy actually.
Examples of work/previous colorings: All of them are right here. Too many to list individually, and don't want to leave any out either cause it helps my application 3nodding
Coloring Samples
In order from newest to oldest works.
Examples of line edits or original works (if none, then describe to what degree you will be able to edit): When it comes to edits, it really depends on what it is. I can't draw naturally or have a gift for it or anything. So...I always try my hand at it first, and that's when I tell myself whether or not I can do it. A lot of my edits are minor things. I can't do clothes, cause they always come out looking weird, although...I haven't really tried my hand at any recently. I have been able to do jewelry type edits, simple horns and those kinds of add-ons (antlers, antennae, halo, etc.). I can do fairy wings pretty well, depending on the style and complexity of the design. I can't do hair worth a darn. I'd literally have to have an example to look at and even then I don't think I'd be able to do it to where it would look right, although, again, I haven't really tried my hand at it recently. Basically...if I have to do a cosplay...I might could do something, but someone else would ALWAYS be able to do better. Of course...I guess you'd have to see my work and judge it for yourself since the person drawing is always their own worst critic xd Here's some of my previous work.
Colorings with Edits
In order from newest to oldest works. I'll be adding more cause I'm working on some for a Halloween event.
If hired, how frequently will you be able to contribute colored works for events/FS/etc.?: Whenever needed 3nodding If you need me to color 20 pets, I'll color 20 pets 3nodding If you need me to color 5 pets, I'll color 5 pets. I'm jobless, for the moment, and not going to school. And if I get a job, it'll be partime and I'll still have more than enough time to color whenever I'm needed, so it won't be an issue 3nodding
Any additional info you’d like to include: COMING SOON

CC Colorists:

Shiningamisgirl
Cretaceous Corral Colorist Application
Preferred Nickname: SHINI! or shini-chan! Lol My name is to long..
How long have you been on Gaia?: 2yrs now! YAY GAIA!
What Experience do you have with B/C shops?: A buyer! Ive always been a customer of the B/C shops! I cant help but love the art of gaia, all the neat pets and people and things that the breedable shops bring in! Heh without them gaia probably would have died off by now! A vast majority of the gold I make goes to shops, flat sales, customs, raffles, -is shot- lol yeah pretty much all of my gold! Hee hee, I would love to get to work with a shop though, I've always wanted to be a manager but now with college I dont have the time to do that, but I do have the time to color!
Have you ever colored (or are currently coloring) for a B/C shop? (if so, please list the name of the shop(s) you’ve worked for): Ive never worked for a shop before, and the only coloring ive ever done is cyo colorings for events, and usually thats just for myself, or for friends. I love coloring though, and I have photoshop CS3 I figure I might as well use it all that I can!
Examples of work/previous colorings:Yellow Doggy Racoon Edits Fire
Will you be able to make line edits, and if so, how complex will you be able to make them? Yes and no! Jewlery edits, small fur edits, collars, feathers, bracelets and earrings. Scarring, thats the sort of stuff I can do, and I love doing eyes! I can not do clothes, wings, capes and like extra limbs. Basically no cosplays, if I had a tablet then I would love to do that sort of stuff! Lol but sadly I dont so I can only do the basics.
If hired, how frequently will you be able to contribute colored works for events/FS/etc.?: Whenever you need me to! I can usually make say three colorings a day, I would probably create a big batch and save them, so that way when dice games came along, or flat sales, I would already have some ready to go. Also for special events, like halloween or thanksgiving, I would always be available! -loves events- So pretty frequently, despite being in school I am able to get on the computer a lot, and coloring is something so fun for me that I would spend extra time to do it.
Any additional info you’d like to include: I love the lines here and the coral pets! (FRILLS!)

Examples of work/previous colorings:Fox.Urn XP I didn't do the shading. Sandy Fox.(I edited the gold in and a bit of the eye.) Work in progress. ( A.k.a I forgot that one detail, and the acorn. I was rushing.)
Will you be able to make line edits, and if so, how complex will you be able to make them?I fail at edits but I can attempt simple ones. I can't do cosplays, giant wings, or anything like that, but I can do small additions like scars, earrings, jewelry, maybe even a tiny pair of wings, just little things.
If hired, how frequently will you be able to contribute colored works for events/FS/etc.?:I get on the computer every day, thus I could color a stage or two (or maybe three) every day if I needed to.
Any additional info you’d like to include: I really like Rping. The lines are so beautiful, I don't think I could do them justice. I can use layers pretty well.

I have a question: All colorists must use photoshop but I have artweaver, which actually supports photoshop files. Would I be able to still apply?
