There is no closing time
Colorists do not need to cert as I do

For those of you that ask me why I haven't hired you yet. I do not base my staff on just their experience and art. Those of you not hired are missing something essential to being staff that has nothing to do with your posts below. I will not tell you what it is, but those I feel are really into this place, are the ones I will hire.


Here I will be hiring managers, colorists whether they be part time, full time, guests, unedited colorists, or edited colorists. Fill out the appropriate form below at any time to be considered. This will always be open.

I need those that will stick around, if you plan on only staying for 1 event and vanishing off the earth to leave me more work, I don't want you so don't apply. I want people who will respect and be loyal to me, other staff, and customers that will do their work in a timely manner. I give plenty of time for colorists to make pets and keep a very organized area for managers to know what they need updated every day of every week

Computer Requirements:
You will need a layering program such as photoshop or GIMP for this

What you must do each month:
4+ pets for full time (4 is the minimum)
2+ pets for part time (2 is the minimum)
as many as you want for guests. You may come and go as you please
No more than 3 breedings unless given permission.
No more than 5 Customs unless permission is granted for an event or something.
Minimum of 2 Game pets for Full Time
Minimum of 1 Game pet for Part Time
Event pets will have a list each colorist needs to complete before the deadline unless something comes up irl.
If you are a colorist that wants to do edits, edits must be up to a league. They MUST match the current templates and if you do not feel confident you can do them, then do not. I'd rather have someone that can make me a fabulous pet than one that is disturbing me from its flaws.
Managers must keep the information for the shop and guild up to date on a timely basis.

What you get:
100% of all profit for EVERYTHING you make. I do not want your gold if I pay other staff, I will pay it myself from things I make. (and I'm talking, if you are good and with edits you can make over 2 mil an auction)
This however means unless it is a event you are expected to run it (Fs, raffle, auction, games)

Managers can negotiate a price if they want to be paid but they and colorists may get free pets, and items of their choice each month
Staff may participate in any events as long as they themselves did not make something in it. Like if you made a raffle pet for a raffle, you can not enter that raffle.
Possible Gold bonuses may also be available depending on how well you achieve the above requirements.

Fill out the following Forms below if interested. Please answer everything truthfully for whatever you put below is what I'll expect from you.

How long are you on gaia on a normal day?
Can I count on you to stick around and not vanish off the face of the earth without warning? (I know rl happens, but seriously to vanish for months at a time without saying anything is ridiculous unless you have no internet.

Examples: (list as many as you like from other places. I like to see how well you do with a variety of things)
Examples on my templates:

Why do you want this job?

I'D LIKE TO BE A COLORIST PLEASE!
Name: XBlind-DarknessX
Colorist position: Part Time to start
Lineart edits?: I am willing to go to the 'bootcamp' and learn how to do them, yes. ^^
Do you have any sort of messenger I can use for contacting you?: I have AIM
How long are you on gaia on a normal day?: Around four hours or so.
Can I count on you to stick around and not vanish off the face of the earth without warning?: Yes, if I must take leave for a while I will give you the specific reason, and if possible, give you updates. (Like if I am on vacation with no internet I likely won't be able to update you. XD)

Previous experience: I have none, everyone has to start somewhere correct?
Current jobs: None
Examples: Markings, bracelet, Everything but the base coloring, Everything but the base coloring, Armor, bandage, ribs showing, fang, All but lineart and shading, All but lineart, shading, and feather, Hair, flower, goddess marking, bracelet, wings, and wrap
Examples on Wista templates: Tribal Jackalope (I realize the gold on the tattoos changes colors XP. This was a mistake and if I had been doing it for the shop would have been corrected right away!), New life Jackalope

Why do you want this job?: I have always wanted to be a colorist, and though I know my skills are rudimentary I am very willing and eager to learn. I love the pets you have in here as well! I think it would be a great way to expand my knowledge of coloring and accomplish something new.
How well do you handle criticism?: I handle constructive criticism well.
How well do you handle the comments of an upset customer toward you?: The customer is always right, isn't that so? I can handle it very well, we are all human and prone to error.
What would you say best describes you?: Hardworking, diligent, eager to learn, amiable, determined.
What responsibilities do you have towards rl?: I work at a veterinary clinic and go to college.
Do you feel you can be a worker capable of being "more than the average" worker?: Yes!
Do you have any other comments to put forth as to why I should hire you?: I am willing to be taught anything you wish me to know, and I would love to be a part of this shop. I know I am at a basic level but I know I am capable of doing more with the right instruction. I would do my job to the best of my abilities and even try to surpass those. I have plenty of fun ideas and would like to put them into use! Thank you for your consideration and time!

EDIT

I realize some of what I have written here makes it seem like I am here just to learn how to be a better colorist, while that is part of my motive there are other reasons as well. When scrolling through the front page of the shop I found myself clicking on all of the images of the pets, and even wanting some of my own. They are very well done and the concepts of the future look like they are going to be amazing. It was then that I decided I wanted, no needed, to try for a colorist position here. Just after that I began thinking of possible event ideas and pets. I want to be involved, and when looking through the thread I noticed you guys seem really kind and welcoming. I am more than willing to start as an unedited colorist and learn more about edits elsewhere so I may prove myself to you and perhaps start doing small edits. I will take anything you give me, there is just something about this shop.

How well do you handle the comments of an upset customer toward you? Having been a manager of shops before, I'm a bit used to seeing upset people.

I'D LIKE TO BE A COLORIST PLEASE!
Name: FrostyPeaches
Colorist position: Guest or Part Time. ( OR manager's assistant is fine too. )
Lineart edits?: Hmm no for now.
If you feel like I can handle doing edits after looking at my colouring examples, then sure.
If you feel like I need more practice/experience, then no.
Do you have any sort of messenger I can use for contacting you? Skype.
How long are you on gaia on a normal day? It depends on real life events, but I can usually stay online for 2hours minimum per day.
Can I count on you to stick around and not vanish off the face of the earth without warning? Yup. I have been visiting this shop since I found it. I'm not going anywhere. ( If I do need to MIA for a while, I will let you know in advance. )

Previous experience: None. Never had a huge urge for wanting to apply at other shops out there.
Current jobs: None I'm a gaia hobo ahhahah
Examples: Click this link. I did small edits on some of the plushies.
Examples on Wista templates: Sorry, I was not around when the files were available for the CYO events.

Why do you want this job? To help you out. I like this shop and I like to colour even though I am not good at it.
How well do you handle criticism? I can take it quite well. Getting feedback from other people about things they don't like and do like helps me avoid certain methods or continue to do what I do.
How well do you handle the comments of an upset customer toward you? I would first see if they're being reasonable or just spewing out nonsense. Then deal with the user as drama-free as possible. Can't let the shop get bad reviews because of me being "mean/rude" according to possible upset customers I might run into in the future.
What would you say best describes you? Strange pretty much sums me up lol. but I can be a nice person.
What responsibilities do you have towards rl? School exams and the occasional family hangout times where I cannot be online for a few hours/days.
Do you feel you can be a worker capable of being "more than the average" worker? I won't throw all of my free time towards this shop but if i am expected to colour more pets I can try to work around my real life schedule somehow.
Do you have any other comments to put forth as to why I should hire you? I know how busy you can be at times. Same with Dea. If I am needed, like organizing an event, tidy/fix guild threads, remind users they need their pets certed within the given time frame, or hunt users down, I won't mind doing that. It's like having one job title but with many positions attached to it XD

I'D LIKE TO BE A COLORIST PLEASE!
Name: Jaded Sunset
Colorist position: Guest! <3
Lineart edits?: Of course! <3
Do you have any sort of messenger I can use for contacting you? (if so please put down which type) - Aim, MSN, Yahoo, Skype, Gmail

How long are you on gaia on a normal day? Depends on how my son is feeling. If he's in a good mood, I can be on and off for the better part of the day. If he's in a bad/sick mood, then I'll be on after he sleeps for a few hours.

Can I count on you to stick around and not vanish off the face of the earth without warning?

-- I don't have a job, so my internet is based on my mothers willingness to pay for it. Been trying to get a job for 3 years, but in between E-Coli and my son having health conditions, sometimes I just don't get on for a few days.

Previous experience: Thundering Plains (Closed), Punk (Mine, Closed), Dreams of Zodiac (Mine, Closed), Voronwe (Mine, Re-Opening Soon), Sweet Treats Bakery (Mine, Open)


Current jobs: Voronwe, Bakery, some templating jobs
Examples: Thundering Plains, also has Sub-Albums, Customs, Disney -- Voronwe -- Bakery Customs (Bakery keeps most of its Treats in one folder, other than Customs)

Examples on my templates: Sorry but I don't see a link to download?

Why do you want this job? I love QT's lines, and everyone here is so friendly! <3 I only want to Guest, though, because I wouldn't want to disappoint if i was unable to do enough for full/part time

How well do you handle criticism? Like everyone, sometimes I'll get a tad upset or frustrated if I get alot of negative crits, but I definitely won't voice it. I encourage criticism, especially if someone's ordered a custom from me. I'm never against re-doing a pet if it fails to meet requirements.

How well do you handle the comments of an upset customer toward you? Just fine, I think!

What would you say best describes you? Impatient! Lol. Sometimes I procrastinate alot.. But I try to always be timely.

What responsibilities do you have towards rl? My son. He has a couple 'health issues' that sometimes take me offline for a day or two.

Do you feel you can be a worker capable of being "more than the average" worker? Perhaps! But that's up to you to decide <3

Do you have any other comments to put forth as to why I should hire you? Nope! I totally understand if it's a flat out 'NO!'
