Jan 2 - Jan 5: custom
Jan 6 - Jan 7: TENTATIVE (details TBA) *** limited semicustom

Current: Semicustom Auction, modified -- see below
Starts: 12:30 PM Eastern on January 6th

(current time)

Quote:
Last one! I was waffling about this slot and what to do for it (drop it, capped, uncapped, premade??), so in the end I decided to limit this slot for my sanity. It's not going to be explicitly capped by edit level, because I might really like a concept in your form and get carried away -- but at the same time, some edits will not be available and some guarantees for the uncapped semis do not apply here. Please read below.

The following are still guaranteed:
- heavy edits minimum
- fullsize soquili
- your choice of soquili's sex
- custom hair mane to chest or longer
- pawed feet if desired (I default to canine paws; others possible but not guaranteed)
- custom drawn breed traits with the exception of body bases/feet, unless specific templates are listed in likes
- triwings guaranteed if listed, with a note (see below)

The following were guaranteed for unlimited slots but are not guaranteed here (with listed modifications):
- extreme edits (instead, heavy edits are guaranteed; extreme edits are possible but less likely)
- long hair mane to around knees or longer (instead, a hair mane to around the bottom of the chest is guaranteed; longer is possible but not guaranteed)
- triwings (if listed) with each set of uniquely drawn full-sized custom wings (if tri/quadwing is made, wings will more likely be a little undersized, and/or a couple unique ones duplicated tastefully to make 3-4)
(Note that I will not do baby wings, i.e. headwing-size or around that size, unless they are on your likes list)

The following will not be available:

- custom leg poses
- custom non-hoof feet
- growings, twins, or twin-ins
- fullbody scales, mecha, or other similar redraws
- fully edited 'walker pelts (partial edits such as head/neck portion and/or tail portion are still possible, at my discretion)
- custom feral forms

I will have an adjusted semicustom form this time around, possibly with limitations to the image inspirations. I also have an important reminder about the likes/dislikes list that is intended to apply to all semis, not just this particular slot, but I want to address it specifically! I have a writeup w/o proofreading but it's not concise; tl;dr is basically that the semicustom form is intended to be used in the same way as wishing star true friend slots, so please avoid getting too specific in likes/dislikes and avoid focusing on a narrow concept; I reserve the right to ask you to adjust and/or expand on your form if I feel too boxed in!

Bidding form: (Please mention the recipients' usernames if you are proxying)
[size=18][b][color=deepskyblue]Gimme a fancy soq[/color][/b][/size]

[b]Username(s)[/b]:
[b]Bid amount[/b]:

Custom form:
I would prefer the use of an altered custom form, which will be posted before the end of the auction!
The modified form will use bullet points for edits, with a separate section for templates, and a separate section for coloring (as opposed to the standard form which goes by bodypart).
The purpose of this is to explicitly specify edits vs. templates, and clarify colors elsewhere, because sometimes it's unclear if users are requesting templated or edited traits.
As the user prefers, the custom may be treated as a full custom, a custom with CC aspects, as a semicustom with specific custom traits, or as a standard semicustom.
Please see pg 1 for other notes or details. Please keep in mind that colorists have final say on semicustoms and on any CC (colorist's choice)/semicustom traits.
As with the semis, the form needs to be complete and finalized when it is sent to me!
As this is an auctioned slot, no custom cooldown is incurred.

An update on the details/type of the tenative 4th auction (update will take place by end of Jan 4th).

Pets & Eligibility:

  • Standard shop rules still apply!

  • Everyone is eligible for these auctions.

  • Auctions are their own thing; they don't count for bribes, customs, monthly paid pet cooldowns or anything else. The custom auction, while a full custom, does not count towards a custom cooldown.


Bidding Process:

  • Minimum bid increase is 0.1 billion (= 10 platinum)!
    Please only use multiples of 0.1 billion = 100 million (= 10 platinum) when bidding. Amounts under 0.01 billion (=1 platinum = 10 million) automatically get adjusted in trades!

  • Bids may be made in either platinum or gold or both; please clarify which it is when posting (or by using the appropriate form) (conversion table by the user PkRs)

  • As per shop rule change in Mar 2016, only pure gold or platinum may be used for auctions.

  • Bids cannot be retracted.

  • Joint bids with up to 3 people are possible; up to 3 people may co-bid & co-own a single auction soquili!
    Please keep in mind that co-owning is between you and your partner(s); if there is a conflict, the shop will not act as a mediator.

  • You may ask a person to proxy for you (ex. if you think you may not be around at the closing time).
    Anyone in a co-bidding group may submit a bid; you don't need to designate someone as the "official bidder."

  • Snipe guard goes into effect 15 minutes before the auction is stated to end; no new bidders may enter at this time. Any bids made during the last 15 minutes extend the auction by another 15 minutes, ex. if the auction is stated to end at 4:00, but someone bids at 3:46, the auction will be extended until 4:01. If someone bids at 3:59, the auction will be extended until 4:14. If someone bids at 4:00, the auction will be extended until 4:15. This continues until no more bids are made for 15 minutes.


After Bidding Ends:

  • Please send your form immediately so that I can look over it ASAP. Please discuss your custom/semi with your partners so the form is set up beforehand! If any changes must be made to the form (ex. something is restricted, or "illegal" by shop rules), you will have 24 hours from the time I contact you to fix it. Missing the deadline without contacting me in advance (ex. if you will be on a trip) runs the risk of losing your auction win.
    Payment goes to Soquili Auctions. The trade must be sent in full and transferred over completely, where it will be held until the pet is completed.

  • Payment must be sent to the Soquili-Aucions mule as per July 2017 rules, and will be held as collateral by the shop.
    I will not work until the payment has been completely transferred to the official mule! Please send trade within 48 hours or less. If there are potential concerns (ex. you will be flying internationally), please let me know as soon as possible, within the stated window!

  • Your form must be complete when it is sent to me!


Contact:

  • I prefer being contacted by PM at my mule here, with the term "Auction" in the title!

Dates & Slot Details

Slot 1: December 22 - December 26: semicustom
Break
Slot 2: December 27 - December 31 (before new year; may be adjusted): semicustom
Break
Slot 3: January 1 - January 4: custom
Break
Slot 4: January 5 - January 8: TENTATIVE; not guaranteed

Please note, I will be flying internationally some time between the 3rd and the 7th!

Also please keep in mind, I will set up the forms some time by the 26th of December.


Notes:
- To be based on semicustom forms, or a custom form for the full custom. All soquili will be adult-only and stand-alone.
- The full custom may be treated like a full custom, a semicustom with required traits, or a custom with some CC aspects, if the winner prefers.
- Custom poses are a possibility, but not a guarantee unless requested in the full custom slot. Custom legs are currently treated by the shop as 1 extreme edit per custom leg redrawn. The current shop limit from 2016-onward is 2 custom legs on a soq. Removed
- Mock-children are permitted either as semicustoms or for the full custom slot.
- Please see examples of past work above!


Full custom
- For the full custom, edit level is up to the recipient; the full custom may be any breed, any mutation, any edit level, and any base, with 2 restrictions: no herd helpers, no growings; twins must be color-shift only so no opposite-sex and no edit changes. Purewalkers under the new rules, custom poses, triwings, quadwings, etc. are a go. The custom must follow shop rules, however, so for example a soq with eight legs is not possible.
- The full custom is recipient's choice of edit level. It's anything goes, within shop rules and with the above restrictions.


Semicustoms:
- For the semicustoms (adult, solo), I will default to extreme edits but the possibility for lower edit levels (ex. mod or heavy) exists if you list this in your likes/preferences!
- Please keep in mind that some things will still default to the appropriate edit level if I make them, such as custom purewalker pelts, custom poses, and so forth. Also please keep in mind that unless explicitly stated, I make no guarantees about traits!
- Guarantees:
----- default extreme edits (the possibility for lower edit levels (ex. mod or heavy) exists if you list this in your preferences!)
----- triwings with uniquely-drawn, large & tastefully placed custom wings if you list them on your form (quadwings or specific wing breed, ex. kalona, is not guaranteed)
----- hair mane to around the knees or longer (unless you list other traits you'd prefer instead of hair/prefer bald ponies/etc)
----- custom breed traits for traits other than bases/base bodies (ex. custom uni horn or tail is guaranteed if I decide to give uni traits but base templates, like angeni feet or canine paws instead of custom, are fair game for me!) -- the only exception to this custom tail/horn/etc is if you specifically state you like a specific template; I may use the template, but it is not guaranteed for sure!
----- canine paws if you list these in your likes (other foot types and bases possible but not guaranteed! Custom hooved feet are possible)
----- sex of the soquili (male or female base)

The form is not set up yet, but it will be based off the above ^ and will allow, at minimum, a collage or moodboard or inspiration album, as well as a place for 20 likes & 10 dislikes, and a place to put the base info (sex; triwing or no)!

Semicustom form
Quote:
General note: Please refer to slot details (page 1) for important information about guarantees, restrictions, edit levels, deadlines, when I will begin work, and so on! The form must be finalized once it is sent to me as once I begin working I will not make changes, and as these are semicustoms, I have final say with respect to the soquili's design.

Sex: M/F
Tri+ wing: Yes/No (Not possible for 'walkers)
Visual #1: Please link to an image! May be a link to a stand-alone image, a couple image, a collage, a moodboard, or an imgur album (will be treated like a collage/moodboard).
Visual #2: As above; please link to an image!
Visual #3: As above; please link to an image!
Likes/Dislikes:
Maximum 20 Likes (If images are included above, please list a minimum of 7; if no visuals are used, please list a minimum of 12! Includes breeds/breed traits, bases/foot types/templates, themes, colors, edits/edit levels, and so forth!)
Maximum 10 Dislikes (This is better to use for general things like color combinations or general traits, instead of templates, as most things will default to custom-drawn (see pg1 for more info))

Not all of these need be filled out, but at minimum I require likes/dislikes!
Please keep in mind that I will not necessarily use everything listed, as not everything will fit on a single soquili, and I encourage a wide variety of concepts users love because I like having artistic freedom. Please also keep in mind that the likes/dislikes section applies to all visuals, and that I reserve the ability to combine the visuals together! However, I will take into consideration (not guarantee) if users prefer to keep visuals as separate concepts; please list this preference in likes/dislikes if that is the case. Thank you!
