CHANGING THIS UP A BIT.

So I have new wants from people, I need some help for Christmas..
And I'm opening up with saying I have a possible-hire..ee? if school doesn't kill her.
That's Thalion, just so you know. And I know people have issues.
But she's got the rules down under her belt.
And she's very. well. equipped. with attention to detail and amazing edits..
She's also almost-like-a-sister to Nerpin and I and I will not tolerate people who don't tolerate her. (And vice versa, but keep in mind.. Thalion's a good tolerate lady.)

I may hire 1-3 new people. My shop IS quiet, and I don't ask for much smile . I also ask that we keep it quieter then massively huge shops. Because tbh, I am not someone who has the time to own something like Shadows of Africa or Soquili. Those ladies are insane and I have respect XD.

So HERE WE GO.
I want to do a little event with my potentials. For this week *December 4th - December 10th* I will accept 1-3 foxes (the minimum will not disable you in the running. I will accept only one fox :>. But please give me samples from other shops too.. I do look at those. If you're someone new and have never done the colouring thing, give me art samples..)

After this week that'll be when it gets hard :>. I'll close this thread and pick out who I want to guest colour. This means more then just bearing in mind that you'll work for me: I'll trust you. And if you break my trust.. (I'll give you the outline of the trust when I choose you.) I will do what is necessary to seek out justice.

When I pick the people:
I'll give you guys from December 10th - December 17th. In this time, I'll give you guys the Gamma, Lone and all our familiars. You will get to make flatsale/raffle wolves.
From them I'll choose who I will hire onto staff. You can still remain guest colourists, but that'll all be said in time.


Please colour this Fox.
You will have to template it (No shading please. I only gave lines so that I can honestly trust people with the lines) and it IS a PNG so save and open in PS. I will not accept MS-Paint entries. You must have a working version of PS, Sai, Gimp etc that can handle PSDs.

PLEASE DO NOT USE THE COLOURING YOU DO FOR MY HIRING SESSION ANYWHERE ELSE BUT HERE. THIS ALSO MEANS OTHER HIRING-THREADS.
These lines are NOT my art-work. And because of this I protect them beyond any belief XD.


Also people keep asking me if they can shade, I said no. :>. Please don't unless you do item edits. Then you may shade those! (Not the lines).

[/size][/align]




Question I have been getting:
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BE ABLE TO DO?
Doode.. I'm a fine arts student, and I know I have a good attention to detail.. I've been drawing since I was 3, and I have had someone like Nerpin who's been pretty much my mentor for 21 years.
I know I am potentially a very intimidating source to be working for. But I'm pretty nice to coming-to-the-scene new artists. I want to teach people how to make art :>. I'm here for you.

But I want you guys to at least compete with these styles:

Me 2 3
Ryuu 2 3
Airliyah 2
Daijonakain
Corsair Vitari
Mr. Mootles *He's the lineartist so please don't feel the need to be of 'custom lines' abilities, I was showing for his edits and colouring. 2

Are you looking for people that can do editing or just basic coloring? I can do little edits but I'm not all that great at doing anything too huge like a full out cosplay pet or something. I've only done one of those before ages ago.

I'm more veered to someone who can do edits. Cosplays aren't allowed in my shop smile unless of an OC.

If you want to try out, we can find out from there biggrin .

Alrighty. I love the lines for here. I've started getting a coloring sample started. I'm gonna take my time with the shading template and such though since these guys are more realistic and wont really go with the quick and easy soft cell shading I'm used to.

Don't do the shading, I just want to see what people do on the lines themselves XD. I have a good enough template of my own and I didn't give the lines with them for a reason smile .

Do what you like sweety. Sometimes it takes centuries for people to even complete the easiest of looks.

I think I have Potential!
Name: xKOVAKtheWOLFx
Have you worked at any other shops before?: yes.
Do you work at any shops NOW?: yes. - Wild & Broken
Samples from other Shops: some uncerts some more
Required Samples:
Unshaded: User Image User Image User Image User Image User Image User Image
Shaded: 1 2 2 (without carousel like edits) 3 4 5
Anything Else?: I know that you said no shading, but I tend to color with a bit of shading to see how my coloring is going, so I've also added my own quick version of shading into it, so feel free to look through those if wanted.
I don't mind getting rejected, but if I don't get hired, feel free to tell me why.<3

Vis Says: I am sorry but I am looking for someone who is more in tune with their talent. Though I am against saying a colourist is bad or good. You still have much to learn when it comes to this world.. You have a good prospective on what you want to do with the markings. But they aren't fluent. You need to worry more on detail of your markings then rushing to get them done. Take your time... It looks like you're trying to race some invisible clock <3.
Also the Carousel edit idea is to fantasy and wouldn't be allowed in my shop. As it is not practical. How would the fox walk? How does it stay on?
I also asked for no template.. I love it when people DO go over what I say and exceed their expectations.. But I would like someone who can listen to me when I say no as well.. When I ask my colourists for something, I will be very honest with what I want or don't want. But I will also admit when I am ok with something.. I am not power hungry and only want happiness in my shop, but I can't hire people who won't listen to me when needed. As a colourist, not being heard by their shop owner is a very difficult matter. But what's even worse is then a colourist doesn't listen to a shop owner and oversteps the criteria to much..
Consider the "No Templating" rule a way to.. express my wants for a colourist who'll listen to me as well as work with me right. I have tried to work with a colourist who didn't and though we did eventually straighten it out. It's no good for our relationship's health if you continue to rebel.

I mean no harm with these words, consider it actually-constructive-criticism.
But I will not be hiring you. You still need to grow and the Forest Hymn is a shop that needs much more knowledge when it comes to colouring our lines.

Thanks for your reply.<3

I can agree with all your points, especially the part about the markings vs. time.. For some reason I have this odd anxiety to finish things too quickly. -must get that changed over time- The carousel one is right, now that I think about it, I've completely forgot that it wouldn't be able to walk due to the size of the pole and that its like sticking right through its body. o-o I'm not going to get into the shading part because you've said it all.

Sorry if you may be considering placing me on the shop's grey list or not [about the rebellion], but I would like to thank you again for your time.

Gray.. List? I will only gray list if someone uses these lines outside of this thread smile . I am not that easy to irritate XD!

My shop may have 'I don't even know.' colours available in the fur. But the edits have to be natural in some fashion.

I've owed you an explanation for forever and I apologize.. :>. So before I do what I have in mind for December, I'll answer you now.

If you still want this job, I will be opening this thread up with another idea for hiring. However you will not need to join again. I will put you 'in running' If you have no idea what I mean by that.. I will be opening December hiring tries for a week (during my finals week) and will accumulate from people a pet and pick from them some guest colourists to help me with events. :> and then pick from them who I will be hiring after the events are done.
You are one of the guest colourists if you want to still try to work here.

magnadearel

Hey magna, I owe you one too..
I'm going to be honest o __o. Your colouring needs a good amount of work there is definitely a lot of potential in your work. And if I know you like I do you could make an amazing colourist with practice.
But getting to the catch. Your edits are the cutest freaking things in the world. In Particular, your green boy's necklace: FFFF.

You'd make an amazing editor smile . So you are in mind, I may consider an item shop for you. And help you with your colouring skills.
