If you are interested in trying out to become a Soquili colorist (again), please fill out the following to the best of your ability! Please use the proper heading and post at least three samples!


The Sample Template can be found here:

Male Template

Female Template
Quest Lines
  • Soquili
  • Owl


      Application
    • Please color at least three samples, of the edit level you are applying for. You can apply to change your edit level in the future within the shop, so don't worry too much about having a very high one from the get-go if you're not comfortable!
    • During the initial application, users may choose to apply using official shop lines or quest lines. If applicants make it to the second round, they will be required to use official lines.
    • Samples on official lines will be given away after hiring; please do not submit as samples anything you intend to keep.
    • Official lines are provided for the use of this hiring thread only. They may not be used as references in customs, they may not be used in other shops, and they may not be used for personal use. To summarize, they are intended to be used for Soquili's colorist hiring threads only. Once the hiring event is over, please refrain from using the templates.
    • Samples on quest lines are not so restricted; they may be used as references in customs and they may be used as samples in other shop applications.
    • CYO plushies may be used in the "Other Samples" category if you wish.

    COLORIST APPLICATION
    Username: Sareibear
    Timezone: MST Canada
    Availability: I’m home and on all the time. Probably an average of at least 10 hours a day I’m around. Wouldn’t imagine ever having to wait more than a couple hours for a reply, unless maybe I’m asleep!
    Do you have Discord? sure do!

    Prior B/C Experience: Soquili, Winiko (these were both about 7-8 years ago)

    Other Experience: previously volunteer staff for large DeviantArt based ARPG- Those Who Went Missing (helped coordinate sales and group front page updates, as well as interacting with community to help new players or answer questions/generally be available and approachable, and also to curate selections for monthly features and assist with occasional design questions. Currently an events coordinator for a DeviantArt based ARPG named Critternook, organized and helped orchestrate the posting and running of Easter event (my first gig with them). Been an artist all my life, been doing digital art for like 15 years, worked many customer service jobs.

    Please describe why you're interested in the shop and role, and describe why you feel you will be an appropriate fit: because I love you and I miss colouring ponies and hanging out with friends that have similar interests! The community is great and I feel really welcome even coming back from after so long, it’s amazing to see it still thriving and I’d love to be part of that again! Also I know I didn’t really ‘quit’ exactly, and I know I kinda left y’all hanging on some stuff and I apologize, besides that I don’t think I rubbed anyone the wrong way previously, so I don’t imagine fitting in being an issue!
    (I’d also be happy to take on owed work to help clear things up, if hired)

    Edit Cap: I’d be cool with taking on moderate edit work for now, or even unedited stuff again!

    If a customer suggests how a pet should look when 1. it's not their custom, and 2. feedback was not requested, how would you handle it?

    Hi there NAME,

    While we certainly appreciate people getting excited about upcoming pets, it can be a little frustrating or discouraging to receive comments on works in progress for both the soon to-be owner, and for the colourist. Commenting on a pet that does not belong to you might make the owner and/or colourist feel pressured or insecure with their design, and we just like to keep everyone’s feelings in mind.

    If feedback is not requested on a work, we ask that you please refrain from commenting besides, for example: to say congrats, or compliment a design, or show interest in how it is progressing. Try to keep things positive and encouraging!

    Thanks!
    (I suppose if they were continually unable to refrain, they would receive a warning of some sort?)

    If a customer is asking for numerous changes in a custom and you feel yourself becoming frustrated, how would you handle it?

    Hi there NAME,

    Our main priority is customers being happy with their Soquili customs, and it seems that we may be having a bit of trouble communicating regarding this design. I understand if something isn’t turning out exactly the way you wanted, and am happy to do my best to fix it, but I do ask that you also be understanding of the time and work that goes into making things just right for our customers, and sometimes many changes to a design can make a colourist feel a bit worn out.

    Is there any clearer way you may be able to explain the requested changes?

    It may take a bit of extra time and patience on both our ends to make sure your Soquili turns out perfectly, but I’m certain working together we can figure this out!

    Thanks!

    If a customer is missed from a list (e.g. custom or breeding slots), what is shop policy on it? And how would you choose to handle it?

    Okay I looked around and couldn’t find anything solid on this, so I’m not sure if I just did a terrible job looking or if there’s more of an unwritten rule? Can you let me know if there’s something specific somewhere that I should be referencing on this one? If so, I’d happily provide the message as requested!

    If not, I’d most likely say that if you were missed on a list it would be best to contact staff (probably the person running whatever it is), and that it would be dealt with on a case by case basis depending what they were entering for?

    Uhhhh I don’t know how to link to the Soquili I coloured before from the masterlist, but you can review them if you search Sarei!

    ROUND 1 IS OVER! ONTO ROUND 2

    Round two Ends:Sunday, May 9th 10pm est

    We need 1 Mockchild (If we give them away they will NOT be related to each other OR their parents) from your Trial Pair, though TWO Are preferred (and three are welcome.. They do not need to be as edited as their parents.)

    Remember They are your MAIN focus: Do your best on them and don't rush to get to the pairs you wanna make.

    You can, if you finish early and WISH to and have done two for your main trial pair, Pair up additional ponies and breed any number of them if you wish to show off some additional skills you'd like to show. Just be sure to link to the parents picked.

    As many Flutter Wings and Seathi/Nixie/Mer/kelpie fins are moderate edits, we need an example of at least one of them from you just to make sure you're comfortable with that. Because I don't know if you have a phobia of Bug wings, I'm going toss a couple with fins, but If you do more than one and wish to give one of the kids flutter wings instead Feel free to do so rather than picking a flutter couple for bonus breedings! Especially since you can only use the regular base and phail and I just gave you a Seathi and a Mer.

    Additional couples
    If you finish early you can pair any of these up to do additional pairings. Remember, you can breed any sex or base together! But don't forget, if you want to do these, you need to make TWO from your trial pair and not the minimum requirement of one.
