MANGSHRA'S CUSTOMS AND BREEDINGS

Introduction
Hello, and welcome to my thread. If you're interested in getting a custom and / or breeding from me, Ryuukishinmangshra, you've come to the right place! Please make sure to read everything and make sure slots are open before ordering. Thank you.
[This format was made for the specific purpose of this thread. Please do not take and / or use it without Ryuu's permission.]

Rules
There are only a few simple rules to follow so please take the time to read them.
1. Do not, under any circumstances, post here unless I open slots. This thread is for forms only. If you have any questions about my customs / want a price quote / etc., please post in the main thread or PM me. (I'm also willing to directly edit a price quote into a form you post here when slots are open.)
2. Once you post your form and start the trade (after your offer has been accepted), you may not take back the offer.
3. You have the right to ask me how progress is going on your custom(s) and breeding(s). However, please refrain from being outright rude and annoying.
4. You have the right to demand a refund if I don't show any progress for an extended amount of time. (A refund is basically just you cancelling the trade, since I won't accept it until I finish what I owe you. However, I expect you to ask me if it's okay beforehand, as it's possible I sent a WIP but the PM never got through, or at least leave me some sort of notification through PM.)
5. When providing references, please make sure the image you provide is not copyrighted (unless you're asking for a marking based off of the image, and not a copy of the image itself). Asking for pets that are colored after already existing pets or characters that do not belong to you (with the exception of cosplays) will not be allowed, unless you have express permission from the original owner / creator. Pets heavily referenced off of references will not be accepted, either.

Samples
Samples of my work, in case you're uncertain on what I am and am not capable of. (All samples are from this shop. If you'd like to see more from other shops, feel free to PM me.) More samples may be seen in my "Drop-Offs" post.

Slot Overview

Next Opening: In the month of June, keep your eyes peeled.

Customs: Closed
Breedings: Open
Pet Trades: Open
Bribes: Closed

How To Order
(These directions are for ordering from mangshra. The other colorists may do things differently.)

1. Read everything in this thread. Make sure slots are open. (If they are, there should be a post with further details on how I'll accept offers. Make sure to read that, as well.)
2. Fill out a form and post it here. If it's accepted, I'll let you know. (If you post your form without a total price or with a price I don't agree with, I'll add a comment in red specifying how much I think the pet will be worth. If it's too much, or you feel it's unfair, you're free to haggle or cancel the offer.)
3. I'll start on your custom / breeding once you start the trade (with the correct amount) with me, mangshra, not the mule. For customs, I'll show you WIPs (Work In Progress) as I go along. This is when you tell me whether you'd like any changes or not. (Ex: If you decided one color would go better than another or something. Don't decide to completely make a different custom, though.) Please don't be shy about asking for numerous changes. It's hard to annoy me (unless your grammar sucks to the point where I start to wonder if you're speaking a different language xD;).
4. For customs, once you've decided on the finalized version of the pet, please complete the trade. For breedings, the offspring will not be posted unless the trade has been confirmed beforehand. (I'll only accept the trade when I'm ready to post your pet's offspring, so if I accept, it means your pet's offspring will be posted soon after you confirm the trade.)
5. Please Post All Babies In One Post In The Certing Thread And I'll Get Them Done ASAP.

Customs

Common Pet Slots:
1. Closed
2. Closed
3. Closed

Rare Pet Slots:
1. Closed
2. Closed

So you want a pet made to look a certain way, and you want it now.
Well then, get a custom. The way customs work is that a colorist will announce that they are opening slots, and then close them after a time period. They can then either raffle to pick the winners, or do colorist choice, where they pick what they want to color. Certain types of pets will be more rare, and so there will be fewer slots for those.
If you'd like a pet trade, simply describe what you're offering (Ex: "A full custom with edits from this shop: link.") in the "Total" section on the form.

Gods -- if you want a god, fill out the god form and PM the mule with your form and bribe offer. When a colorist has an open bribe slot, they may choose to accept your offer. Please note that colorists are limited to one god/dess bribe a month so there may be a long wait ahead of you. (During some slot openings, colorists may also allow you to PM them your god forms and bribes instead. Using this method ensures you know which colorist will do your god.)
Before choosing a domain for your god/dess, please make sure it hasn't been claimed. A list of all existing god/desses can be found in the owner's list here. If your domain is close to an existing one, you must ask the owner of the god/dess if your domain is acceptable. If they say no, please respect that decision.

Cosplays -- if you'd like a cosplay, simply fill out the normal form. There's no set price for these, as some come with edits and some without. They may be ordered as god/desses, as well. However, if you order a cosplay, please specify the cosplay's official name and the show / book / etc. he or she originated from (Ex: Koga from Inu Yasha) so that we may keep our cosplay list up to date. If you fail to do so, a possibility remains that someone else will order the same cosplay.
If there is a character with multiple forms (Ex: Sora from Kingdom Hearts in his human form and lion form and Yoruichi from Bleach who has a human and cat form.), then, depending on how similar each form is, multiples of the character may be allowed. This will all be in a case-by-case basis and, if only one is permitted, then only the first to custom in a form of that character will be allowed.
It's important to note: No cosplays may be claimed! Also, before customing one, please check our cosplay list and make sure the cosplay you want hasn't already been claimed.
Restrictions: A Pokemon Event is being planned. Until the event comes and passes, no Pokemon cosplays may be ordered. Pokemon OCs are fine, though. However, these OCs must be different from normal cosplays (Ex: A striped ninetails, a blue growlithe, a mightyena with a collar, etc.) or they won't be allowed.

Prices:
★ Common Pet (Foxes and Lions): 10k
★ Rare Pet (Tigers and Dragons): 20k
★ God/dess: Bribe Only (Minimum offer must be 600k.)

Additions:
★ Complicated Coloring: +5k
★ Simple Edits: +10k
★ Complex Edits: +20k
★ Growing Pet: Double the total price. (Growing pets are only Stage 1 lines to Stage 2. Babies are only available through breedings.)

★ I reserve the right to raise prices as I see fit. I'm not going to abuse this, of course. It's simply that, should you order a dragon with detailed coloring, additional limbs, fur instead of scales, and a lot of other major edits, I don't think it's going to be worth 45k. > A>; (If I choose to raise the total of your custom, I'll be sure to let you know before you accept!)

Simple edits are things like a necklace, a bracelet, or an earring. Some colorists will have more things depending on how experienced they are. If you don't know whether your edits are simple or not, just ask.
Complex edits are things like hair, wings, clothing, and armor. Please keep in mind that if you ask for full clothes, you may be asked to choose just the shirt or some accessories, because we don't want to over-do the pets and make them look weird.

I'm still new So I will try just about anything you ask of me but have are some Strengths and Weaknesses I know I already have xD

Strengths:
List of things I feel I'm good at / most comfortable doing.

★ Leopard Spots, I luff doing them o uo)b
★ Things that test my skills but don't make me cry. xD
★ Bold coloring. I can do soft, as well, but bold is my main style.
★ I like to think I'm a patient person, so I won't get mad or explode if you decide to change your mind or something. c: Customs are just that: customs. And it can't be a custom if you don't get what you want, right? So please don't be shy about asking me for some modifications. (Completely changing the design when I'm almost done is kinda over-the-top, though.) Asking me to fix some details (such as "you forgot to color a bit of the lineart on the cheek") is fine, too. I hate messing up, but I'm prone to miss things. xD;

Weaknesses:
Before deciding to order customs from me, please take a look at the list of things I'm not very good at. (Most, but not all, of the things in this list will require the "complicated coloring" fee. xD;) If you want to make sure I'm able to do some types of edits, feel free to ask me through PMs or in the main thread.

★ Hair and clothes edits are hard for me...just so you know xD
★ Mech/Machine/Technological Edits (Things like bidets simple watches should be fine. But if you want something like a cyborg arm, I ask that you provide a hell lot of references. xD)
★ Items/Edits/Markings with intricate/complicated parts (such as dream catchers and celtic markings).

Warning: remember to keep my list of weaknesses in mind. O: If you post / PM a form that have pets with markings /edits that I feel I’ll have a hard time coloring, I’ll edit it into the post somewhere / notify you in a reply. After that, you’re free to cancel your order, but if you choose to let me color it, then you’ll be giving me permission to modify markings as I see fit. (I’ll try to color it as best as I can, but if I can’t or my attempts are ugly, I’ll add markings that are similar, but in a style I’m more comfortable with. But I realize we all have different opinions, and although I may think my attempts to imitate the style you wanted was a failure, you might think otherwise, so I’ll be showing you images of all styles and let you choose the one you like best. In the case of breedings, I’ll be choosing what I think looks the best, since I can’t exactly show you before they’re born and ask what you like. xD;)

However, should you order any of these from me, rest assured I'll try my best! Also, there may be some things I cannot do, no matter what. If that's the case, and you don't want me modifying markings, I'll direct you to another colorist and hope you have better luck there.

Custom Forms
Remember to be as specific as you can when filling out the forms! I really dislike it when I have to contact people repeatedly to get certain details. OTL; At the very least, specify colors for the: base, iris, (optional: eye rims), nose, and inner ears. And if you'd like the pet to have the carousel edits or want a pet to grow onto lines with those edits, please specify the colors of the saddle, ribbons, lace (the little frillish things on the bottom of the ribbons), and bells, as well.

Breedings

Breeding Slots:
1. Open
2. Open
3. Open

When two creatures of the carousel are madly in love, they might decide they want a family of their own. Leave them alone long enough and you'll have a whole bunch of little monsters running around!

Prices:
★ 10k (Please have one person send the trade.)

Rules & Information:
★ You may enter a pet only once for every slot opening.
★ Couples cannot breed again until their last litter has reached adulthood. (If a colorist is late with dropping off the litter or growths, then the owners must wait a period of one month after the couple was accepted / litter was dropped off instead.) This applies to donors, as well.
★ Same-sex breeding is allowed.
★ • With same sex breeding, you must provide a "donor." If it's a male x male breeding, you need a female to carry the babies. If it's a female x female breeding, you need a male to fertilize them. Then you have a choice. You can either have the "donor" be a major influence on the babies, or it can be a minor influence on the babies. (Major means that a higher number of the babies will show markings of the donor. Minor means fewer to one baby will show the markings of the donor.) If a donor is part of your breeding, please don't forget to specify whether you want the donor to have a major or minor influence!
★ • Whether the donor's species will affect the dice roll will depend on the influence. If the donor has a minor influence, then its species will be considered only for a few offspring or none at all. If it has a major influence, then half of the offspring will have its species rolled between the first parent and the donor and the other half of the breeding will have its species rolled between the second parent and the donor. (In the case of an odd amount of offspring, one of the offspring will simply have its species rolled between both parents, and not the donor.)
★ Different species breeding is allowed.
★ • When breeding different species, such as a lion and a tiger, you don't get a liger. You get a number of lions and a number of tigers. Same goes for foxes x tigers, lions x foxes, and so on.
★ Babies do not grow into stage 1 lines, and then stage 2. They may grow into either or, but not both, and the stage they grow to is dependant on the parents. (Babies always grow. There will be no permas.)
★ Once you get your babies, you are only allowed to keep two for yourself. The rest you have to give away to friends, or contest off. Each of them can only have two as well, so you can't keep two and give like five to a friend.
★ Stage 1 pets are allowed to breed, as they're technically adults. Stage 2 pets are allowed to breed. Babies can't breed.
★ If you'd like less amount of offspring for plot purposes (Ex: It was determined by die that you'd have five offspring and you and your partner want only one offspring for a roleplay plot), we're willing to deduct the amount of offspring. (The offspring you choose to deduct will not be added to another litter, so you can't say "I got rid of three babies in my last breeding, can they be added to this breeding?")
★ Giving away the offspring for monetary gain is prohibited.
★ Please keep in mind that gods are normal carousel pets that have grabbed a little bit more magic than others when escaping their monotonous lives. This means that all gods are first generation pets, and were not born from other escaped carousel pets. As a result, breeding two gods together does not create god, or even demi-god, offspring, and powers are not passed down.
★ I support roleplay. O: If I see your pets have been roleplayed (constantly, not just a one time thing, or one quickly put together), then I will be more inclined to add edits on them (regardless of whether the parents have edits or not), such as expression edits based on personality, hybrid edits, etc. If your pet had any roleplays between it and its partner(s), please provide links to them if you'd like the extra edit considerations, regardless of whether or not they are complete. If you don't want edits, though, and you've roleplayed, please specify it.)
★ Note that I'm pretty... "free," I suppose one could say, about coloring offspring. The majority of the time, you can't even tell the offspring and parents are related, save for similarity in some markings and colors. If you don't like this, please don't try out for my breedings. (For some examples, scroll down to the "Drop-Offs" post.)

Average Babies per Species:
(If you're mixing species, look at the female's species for the number.)
★ Foxes -- 2-10
★ Lions -- 2-8
★ Tigers -- 2-6
★ Dragons -- 2-4

Litter sizes are uncommonly large here (for the most part, at least) and they often take a while to complete as a result. Because there is no max amount of times a pet can breed, the numbers have been nerfed to the following:

★ Foxes -- 2-5
★ Lions -- 2-4
★ Tigers/Dragons -- 2-3

There are now ways to obtain more offspring, however:
★ You may earn +1 offspring for every two roleplays submitted (one per pet or two from one pet; if one roleplay involves both, there must still be another added). Roleplays may, of course, not be reused.
★ Some colorists may also offer +1 offspring (or +1 max offspring and roll for it) in their breedings during games or slot openings (ie. Post a picture of a baby panda in your form and the max amount of offspring will be upped by 1) if they so choose.
★ There may also be events may allow breeding rolls with the old numbers, such as Valentine's Day. (Up to the colorist's discretion, as well.)
★ When bribing for litter sizes, they must stay within normal litter sizes shown above, not the old ones. The only exception would be if the litter size would have been upped in normal slots. (Ie. If I provide a baby panda picture and two roleplays for a fox couple, I can bribe for a litter of seven.)

Species Percentages:
(When Breeding two different species together, these are your percentages for what the babies will be.)
★ Fox x Lion -- 60 - 40
★ Fox x Tiger -- 85 - 15
★ Fox x Dragon -- 90 - 10
★ Lion x Tiger / Dragon -- 75 - 25
★ Tiger x Dragon -- 70 - 30

Bribe Breeding: If you want a certain pair, and want it now, you can 'bribe breed'. Just like with Gods, you PM the mule with the form (filled out) and what your bribe is. If you get accepted, one of the colorists can choose to take your breeding as their bribe for the month. Certain perks are also allowed with bribes:
★ You may choose which stage lines the offspring grow into.
★ You may be allowed to choose how many offspring your couple gets. However, the number may not surpass limitations already in place. (Ex: You cannot ask for a dragon couple to have ten eggs. The maximum is four.)
★ The buyer may specify the appearance of a few offspring. This is limited to one out of three offspring in the litter. (Ex: If there are six babies, you may only customize two.) Colorists have the right to ask you to modify your specifications if the offspring's appearance isn't similar enough to the parents.
★ Please keep in mind that these perks aren't available for all bribe breedings. It'll be dependent on your offer, as the main purpose of bribe breeding is to get a breeding when slots aren't open, not to have more control over the outcome of the offspring.

Breeding Form
(When filling out this form, you may want to include previous stages of the parents if you have them. This is because not all of a pet can necessarily be visible in the adult stage.)

[color=mediumvioletred][size=18][b]BREEDING FORM[/b][/size][/color]
[b]Parent 1:[/b] [img]Cert[/img]
[b]Parent 2:[/b] [img]Cert[/img]
[b]Donor:[/b] (Cert and influence if applicable.)
[b]Uncerts:[/b] (Please link to all uncerts. Images of parents, grandparents, etc. should be linked to in this section, as well, if a Gen. 2+ pet is involved in the breeding.)

Pet Trades

Pet Trade Slots:
1. Open
2. Closed
3. Closed

Interested in a Pet Trade with me? Feel free to post an offer. (: (If the thread is locked but my Pet Trade slots are open, then please PM me instead.) To do so, simply fill out the custom form, but instead of offering gold, just put a link to the shop you’re offering the pet(s) from, along with some samples of your coloring. (You’re allowed to offer both a pet trade and gold, if you think I’ll be more likely to accept the gold instead of the pet trade, or vice versa. You may combine offers, as well.)

Note, though, that I have the right to decline. If I do, please don't feel bad. It could be because I'm busy at the time or I'm just not into the pets you offer. (I'll probably decline most, if not all, RP-required shops, but you never know eh?)

Below is a list of shops I'd like pets from. (Which means if you work in the shop and you offer, I'll accept the majority of the time should my slot be open.) Please note that I don't list the shops in order of preference. I list them alphabetically. xD

★ Wishful Thinking
★ ToraTora Island
★ Plains of A'veron
★ Carousel

I also accept art of my pets / OCs for pet trades. I'll be more picky with art, though.

Bribes

Custom / Breeding Slots:
1. Closed
2. Closed
3. Closed

God Slot:
1. Closed

Interested in getting a custom or breeding, but can't find an open slot? Looking to get multiple customs in a single slot? Or perhaps a deity / god? Then you're free to bribe. To do so, PM a completed form (for any of the three: custom, breeding, deity) to the mule. If a colorist has a slot open, he or she may choose to accept your form.
If I have slots open, then you may PM the form to me instead of the mule. (If you choose to PM it to me, only I will be able to accept. If you choose to PM it to the mule, then other colorists can accept the offer even if I don’t.)
