Rules General Rules1. I do not start on your request until you start the trade. Your kitsu will be delivered once I've finished it and the trade accept at that point.
2. I need at least one decent reference picture for cosplays. If it's an original concept, it's alright to forgo the reference picture but a detailed description is then needed.
3. You get 3 WIPs - one of the sketch, one of the inks, and one of the colours. You can change edits at the sketching stage and colours once it's coloured.
4. Do not whine or complain if I take a while.
5. I'll notify you when your turn is up.
6. I'll also give notice when I open customs - the procedures will vary each time.
7. Please post all forms here unless otherwise specified.
8. I accepts items - but only donation and event items from year 2005 or earlier. They are valued at mid tektek the day of the offer/purchase.
9. Kitsusagi Gift certificates can only be purchased with permission from Mau. See my certificate list for currently held certificates.
10. All trades go to me.Regular Customs1. Go easy on the cosplays
2. Do not nag, torment, wheedle, or whine at the colorist if they are 'too slow' working on your order - colorists have lives too, you know.
3. Colorists have the right to reject any cosplay or edited kitsu for whatever reason they see fit.
4. Please do not request customs unless the colorist's workshop says [Open] in the title!Bribes1. Go easy on the cosplays
2. You can only get cosplay customs once every three months.
3. Do not nag, torment, wheedle, or whine at the colorist if they are 'too slow' working on your order - colorists have lives too, you know.
4. Colorists have the right to reject any cosplay or edited kitsu for whatever reason they see fit.
5. If a colorist rejects your bribe, please do not take it personally. They probably have too much on their plate at the moment to take more work on. Try again later!
6. Please do not request customs unless the colorist's workshop says [Open] in the title!
Update: Nov. 19 2008: Bribes can consist of more then one cosplay. However, there is a maximum of 2 cosplays per bribe slot (there is no maximum for Original Characters for obvious reasons). Bribes count towards the cosplay rules and starts the timer from the date of bribe acceptance. General Guidelines About Customs and Bribes~ Please do go easy on the cosplays. I love original concepts.
~ I greatly enjoy doing metal, unique wings, armor, and items/weapons.
~ I do not like doing complicated hair because I'm not particularly good at it.
~ As a general rule, basic customs from me are 300k and minimum bribe prices are base price + 50k.
~ Never be afraid to ask questions - I don't bite.
~ My strengths quite literally lie in details and darkness. I am best at things with a lot of detail, a lot of edits, and darker colours. Please keep this in mind.
~ For an OMG Hat I'll be a kitsu slave to anyone offering that item. Just one condition - please work out what you want before hand and we can pick and choose. I won't be picky about detail/amount/species etc etc.

** Please be aware that any major animations will make the file size too large to fit on the cert and will therefore be restricted to uncerted images**

Animations are available only for the Kitsusagi that I make. If you would like to have a kitsu that has already been made by me to have animation, the cost is double the stated fee.Clarification of termsCosplay
..... A cosplay is an kitsusagi that is based on the idea or design of something else. This includes published material, Original Characters, fan characters, and anything based on mythological figures. Wildlife patterns are not cosplays as it is not a specific person or concept that is being copied. A cosplay is, essentially, a kitsusagi based on any character or figure from any source.
On 'x' lines
..... The main features of that species are removed, leaving it a normal kitsu in a different pose.
Cosplay 'x'
..... The main features of that species are retained so that it is still a member of that species while also being a cosplay.
Colour Cosplay
..... This is any kitsu coloured like a character but without edits. It is still a cosplay even if it lacks the edits.

Customs Customs will open when I have available time and will take priority over any bribe slots.
Next slots
Date: tba
Time: tba
Type: tba
Slots
1. Closed
2. Closed
Availability
When I open custom slots they will be in batches of two or three, but no more.
When and How
I will normally open customs on the 13th of the month with about a week's notice before they official open. The how will vary - ranging from speed slots to concept contests.
Special Occurrences
Sometimes I'll add a twist to the whole custom thing and mark down the shop prices, offering you the chance to obtain a custom at a discounted price. This doesn't always happen, however, but I do enjoy including special surprises in the things I do so keep an eye out!

Bribes Current Bribes
Please see my worklist for a list of all kitsusagi I have pending.
Status
The very nature of a bribe is to get something you want out of turn. As such my bribes are always open. You can make an offer at any time with what you feel would be an appropriate offer. That said it is up to me to accept or decline your offer. How I decide that is by looking at my current work load - Kitsusagi, Empyreans, real life, RP, etc etc and see if I'll have time to get it to you in a timely manner. If I could I would accept all bribes but unfortunately I can't - I don't have enough time. If you are unsure about my bribe status, ask. I can't answer questions if you keep them to your self.
If I decline your offer, it is most likely not because it is 'not enough' or I have 'high standards' or anything of the sort. It is probably because I'm too busy to get it done in a decent time frame. I hate making people wait ages for a custom they want. However if you don't mind waiting please let me know as well - I'll often give a warning along the lines 'it'll be a while before I'm done' or some such.
Prices
A bribe can cost any amount, really. I like a good concept or a long time quester as much as I enjoy items or gold. It really is best if you PM me. Fill out a form and toss it at me regardless of my bribe status with either an offer already in mind or a quote request. 350k is my standard bribe price, sometimes lower sometimes higher depending on the complexity of the custom and the determination of the person asking for the bribe. 450k gets you most anything but I do ascribe to the price layout the shop has set up for custom prices so if you want a fully angelic cosplay it's 600k. Please refer to the Pricing post in this thread for details on that. Again if you're not sure what you should offer or how much something would cost, just fling me a PM on my main account (SkieBorne).
Wishlist Items
Should someone be awesome enough to offer me something from off my wishlist would result in discussion on what you get. I'm really not too picky about prices and whatnot. That said, I don't discuss or consider offers made in the thread. I only consider those offers made through IM or PM where details can be discussed - it's only polite to keep business like that private.
Large Bribes
I do do large bribes. However, the very minimum I'll accept per kitsu in the bribe is 350k or equivalent and a maximum of four (4) kitsu in the offer.
Item Wishlist
Nitemare Headband
Fuzzy Penguin Slippers
Baby Seal Slippers
Horns of the Demon
Steel-Plated Ninja Headband

Breeding Slots1. Mau - Dragon Breeding (bottom of to do list)
2. Closed
3. Closed
Yep yep! I do do breedings every once in a while. It's not common though. However! It's an option should you wish to go that route. I'll announce breedings ahead of time, case by case. Please don't sit around and wait for a regular opportunity from me - I'd much rather you take your business to the the dedicated and talented breeders. ^_^Breeding BribesThis is pretty much the only way to guarantee you'll get a breeding from me if you're really determined to get one, lol. These will be pricey, not because I'm greedy but because I don't really want to do them and would rather, again, the dedicated breeders do the breedings. :3
However, should you wish to try anyways, feel free to toss a PM at me.
Only PM if I have a breeding bribe slot open - this is important.Information on Breeding BribesBreeding bribes are very rare and are intended to be special. We would rather you preserve them for long-time Kitsu couples who love each other very much and for Kitsu who have had plans for some time. The chance of a 'crack'/random-pair breeding being accepted through this method is very slim to none. If you still feel that Random!Kitsu-A and Random!Kitsu-B positively MUST breed for hilarity, for pretty babies or because you think it's a good idea, please wait for appropriate opportunities (if they ever come).
Because the shop breeds Kitsu already, breedings cannot be acquired by custom slots. They must be negotiated with the individual colourist and they are only to be bribed. Chances for bribe breedings will not open often and you will only be able to obtain a couple of chances a year. Meaning, two a year per person, perhaps (not on a Kitsu basis). Special circumstances can be met if you want more, but this will be rare and examined on a case-by-case basis. Expect to be denied.
Do note that all normal Breeding rules apply. If you need more information on this, it can be found here. Please read ALL of the rules before proceeding. While Realm/Mountain couples can breed together, permission will be needed from Mountain prior to securing a Bribe-Breeding here in Realm (proof will be needed so please be ready to provide it). Mountain/Mountain couples need not apply. If you acknowledge and understand all of this, then please read onwards....You may be considered for a breeding bribe if:- You are particularly unlucky in breeding raffles*
- You are unlucky in receiving eggs from other's won raffles
- You can provide extensive evidence with planning of couple intending to breed
- It has been six months since your last Kitsu breeding (in either shop)
- You have requested special permission from Staff or Mau directly
- You have special intentions for the eggs yielded (to be discussed with staff)*** Meaning that you have entered many breeding raffles and haven't won
** Special intentions does not mean keeping one for yourself, giving one to a friend and contesting off the rest.PricingBecause these are bribes, there is no actual specific price. You can offer whatever you think would be a good amount to offer. However, if you would like a keen idea of exactly how much to bribe, perhaps this estimation guide can help you. Do note that these are only estimations. The final bribe amount is up to you, or should be negotiated with the colourist.
Bribe Estimates
- Any option below with the choice to pick out the baby's gender = Add an extra 5k per egg (on each baby you want to pick the gender for).
Basic Packages:
- Unedited Kitsu with no extras (gender left to random rolls) = 150k (Egg total rolled - max 4 eggs).
- Cosplay/Edit Kitsu with no extras (genetics + gender left to random rolls) = 250k (Egg total rolled - max 4 eggs).
Extras:
- Guaranteed all Angelic Lined adults (with edits based on random rolls) = 400k (Egg total rolled - max 4 eggs).
- Guaranteed all Angelic Lined adults = 500k (Egg total rolled - max 4 eggs). Edit levels chosen. Minor Edits add 25k per egg, Major Edits add 50k per egg (after the number of eggs has been rolled).
- All Angelic stage offspring (either with or without wings) = 800k (Egg total rolled - max 4 eggs) Minor Edits add 25k per egg, Major Edits add 50k per egg. (after the number of eggs has been rolled).
- All Edits in this custom set are determined solely by the Artist. You cannot pick what goes into the genetics. If you want to do that, there is the final separate ultimate package...
- All Angelic stage offspring with your own chosen custom edits and gender picking = 800k (max 4 eggs, choose how many you want) Minor Edits add 25k per egg, Major Edits add 50k per egg.
Want extra eggs? Regardless of the package, add 200k per extra egg. (Max of 6 total).

I'll also do kitsu for art of my characters. I have lots if you're interested in that :3
Rules
1. All Pet Trades are to be cleared through Mau before anything is officially agreed upon. I must get permission from her to have a pet trade before I can yes to anything.
2. I won't deliver my part until you've shown me your finished half. After that, I'll cert up your kitsus and make him all official-like.
3. Seraphim and Fae are not available through Pet Trades but all other species and options are.
4. You can make a request at any time but be aware of rule #1
5. Even trade, a growing cosplay kitsu for a growing cosplay pet. Unique art pets are a different story entirely and this can be discussed.

Lorne - Kishara
Vocaloid Cosplays - Zedre (bribe)

Nightmare Folklore As I'm sure you know, the kitsusagi were not always companions to humans. There was a time when they were among the worst of enemies. Now, as I'm sure you also know, the kitsusagi eventually developed a pact with the humans with the help of their guardians in an attempt to end the fighting, and today they are among our most loyal of companions.
However, it was not as simple as it sounds. There was a diehard sect of kitsusagi that simply refused to make peave with the humans. They considered any kitsu who'd chosen to side with the humans traitors. They even went so far as to attack these "traitors" along with the humans.
It shortly became clear that they were fighting a losing battle. They couldn't stand against the humans along with the other kitsusagi - their forces were too weak.
One day, a pair of their scouts brought word of a strange shrine to the west. There were legends of the power it could give to the worthy who sought it - immense power. Enough to smite their enemies - the humans and the traitors. What luck! What fortune! It seemed the very gods had smiled upon them at last.
A small group of ten kitsusagi formed, the lot of them setting off for the shrine with the two scouts as guides. Their journey took them several months and through many hardships. They became scarred from battles they faced to reach the fabled shrine. Several of them even perished along the way.
The handful that remained when they reached the shrine were exhausted from hunger. The scent of food within lured them into the darkened chamber, though they found nothing within. Confused, they turned to the remaining scout. He had no answer for them, just as confused as they were.
The leader, or, the one who had taken command after the original leader perished, ordered the scout to lead them to the heart of the shrine. The scout, ever obedient, obeyed the command, leading the small pack of kitsusagi into a dimly lit room. The scent of food washed over them again, and still no food was in sight.
Ignoring the strange smell, the leader of the pack stepped up to the shrine, boldly demanding to receive the fabled powers they had long quested for.
There was a long silence. And the shrine spoke.
You are unworthy. You seek to use these powers for destruction. You cannot see that those you seek to conquer wish only to make peace with you now. Since you will not use your eyes I shall take them from you. The food you smelled before was meant to lure you away from here. Since you ignored it, I shall take your scent from you. The darkness within you corrupts you, yet you do not care. May it show on the outside now as well as within.
The kitsusagi standing at the shrine were suddenly plunged into darkness, their sight taken from them. The scent of food, of eachother, of everything, was ripped from them as they lost their sense of smell. Strange, misshappen spines grew from their shoulders, and horns sprouted from their heads.
Cursed for their darkness, the questing kitsusagi fled the shrine, fading into the legends of old. Few are aware of the truth of their existence, and even fewer still have ever seen one. Consider yourself lucky should you ever spy one of these cursed beasts.

The Creatures of Emotion     When the land was young and darker creatures roamed the earth there was a creature that was considered the darkest of all. The Shadowlings came forth from the only place you would expect with such a name, the shadows and brought with them their unique ability. Our land's Scientists have discovered that these creatures enhance and even dominate the emotions of the creatures they attach themselves to. When they find a dark and shadowy place, they can evaporate into shadow and seep into the subconsious of anything nearby. It was only thought that the Shadowlings could control the dark side of beings, well, it's now thought that they can control the entire spectrum of emotion, ranging from love to hate, sadness to happiness, all by isolating the thought and feeling and melding with it, enhancing it to their whim. Not much else is known, but if the will of the receiving creature is great, he or she can push out the Shadowling and go on relatively unaffected.
