GROWTH CONDITIONS

CONDITIONS FOR Y2 GROWTH:

gaia_crown THERE IS A 4 MONTH WAITING IN BETWEEN PERIOD BETWEEN Y1 and Y2.

gaia_crown THERE IS A 6 MONTH WAITING IN BETWEEN PERIOD FOR Y2 TO Y3. OR HORSEMEN STAGE 1 -> STAGE 2

(( That means you must have owned the student for at least 4 months before you can request for new art for y2, and 6 for y3. This goes the same for Hunters. ))

- A reminder: there is NO OBLIGATION for us to do growths, every student is on a one stage contract: the artists are tackling growths out of the kindness of their own heart!
- exclaim HOWEVER exclaim YOU CAN NOW COMMISSION an existing TiH artist off site for growth art off from our approved commission artist list. This will count as official art and once you get the commission you can drop it off to cert. Of course, you are still more than welcome to get official shop growth art, though that may take slightly longer!

Obtaining Art

- Y2/Y3/etc art can either be obtained through customs, raffle OR free student raffle slots like this one. Make sure you have ALL YOUR CONDITIONS FULFILLED before trying for an art slot, this INCLUDES in customs or in bribes!

gaia_star This is the thread you go to if you want your character grown! WE CANNOT GUARANTEE that your student will be picked up but if you would like to try for the wait queue, please drop it off here. Due to time constraints we have removed the preference on artists, meaning if you drop it off here, you are eligible to have any artist pick it up. The artist will contact you via PM to make sure you are okay with this first! If you are not, then unfortunately you will have to wait until another artist is available

OR:

gaia_star You may commission a TiH approved growth artist for growth art now. This is for GROWTH ART ONLY, and only APPLICABLE TO CHARACTERS ELIGIBLE FOR GROWTH (or waiting currently in queue). This art, once completed, can be certed and will count as official art. This is ENTIRELY OPTIONAL and available if you are just simply looking for a different artist and/or want that art now. This is also available as an OFFICIAL ALT ART option for growths.

- You may NOT commission an artist even from this list for new characters.

List of approved commission artists: (PLEASE CHECK THEIR JOURNALS/ PAGES FOR COMMISSION OPEN/CLOSED INFO ). If you do this we cannot guarantee their art, it will be up to you to check on them, as 100% of proceeds will be going towards that artist!
- Lividpeas here
- Lilwolfpard here ** very occassional
- Ravvlet - here!
- Kuropeco - here
- Beejoux -here
- Tig/Imp/Molten Tigrex here
- kheleksul here
- and be blue here

POSTING YOUR GROWTH ART RULES ]:

- POST YOUR COMPLETED EXAM/PROMOTION THREAD AND a link to your character's journal
- An admin will contact you if there are any problems
- Keep in mind ALL TiH art is BY CONTRACT only, that means, by stage. Us offering to grow your student for free is seriously out of the kindness of the artists who can do this!
- Characters DO NOT NEED y2 art to be able to rp starting Y2, same goes for y3.
- If you commissioned an artist you can cross your name out. If you still want free art you can keep it on but it may still take a while.... plus it'll give other people a chance too!

ANYONE CAN Post to try for growwwwwwwthssss  

[MoonKitsune]

NAME OF STUDENT AND THEIR JOURNAL LINK: Calder
Proof of exam thread: Exam
PREFERRED ARTISTS: Han, Chibizoo
Any Y2 specifications? Pony tail, tied in a plaid ribbon, with black roots to white tips as his hair grows out from white. Nice jacket, buttoned up, with plaid cravat. Longer kilt above the knees, no pants. Sporran is now on the side on the hip. Skull clip on lapel. Hair accessories are barrettes, flowers (bluebells), and maybe cat tails. Basically Calder cleaned up with his hair tied up, black in his hair, and nicer clothes.

Han!  

[demon_pachabel]

NAME OF STUDENT AND THEIR JOURNAL LINK: Shehk
Proof of exam thread: Exam
PREFERRED ARTISTS: Han, Livid, Cheshire (Drawing her myself would feel redundant. P: Not me. )
Any Y2 specifications? Something like this or This. Shehk cleans up, gets a confidence boost, pales out, and the stitches in her face are replaced with silver medical staples. Her clothing should be sexy, but not slutty, and have implications of a wild-refinement to it. Her skin and hair/fur also get visibly pale-r, but not white. Eyes begin glowing like they do in her natural form, ears start 'sticking up' to almost resemble horns (Second ref). Shehk also obtains a necklace with a small vial containing a spent silver bullet in it.

Han  

[Lucifer Force]

NAME OF STUDENT AND THEIR JOURNAL LINK: Kasumi
Proof of exam thread: Ta da!
PREFERRED ARTISTS: ZOOBER, Han, Onion, Inu~
Any Y2 specifications? Kasumi would wear something similar to Junko and Belladonna's styles mating and having lovechildren. Think lolita meets kimono, if that makes sense. Her colors would be the same as her hospital gown plus various blues. She'd still be barefoot and have the crazy hair/crazy look in her eye. <3

Inu  

[Enoh Love]

NAME OF STUDENT AND THEIR JOURNAL LINK: Amrita
Proof of exam thread: Here!
PREFERRED ARTISTS: Pach, Bili, King, Inu...but whomever, really.
Any Y2 specifications? Same colour Hair/Eyes/Skin, however she is now inhabiting the body of a patchwork. We're still ICly working out details, but I do know there will be a patch of skin on her face that she can remove, to give her the half-skullface she had in her first year...and she'll still have backwards hands and feet! Toshi demands I put "bodacious top-heavy babe" in here.


PACH  

[Smerdle]

NAME OF STUDENT AND THEIR JOURNAL LINK: West
Proof of exam thread: Exam
PREFERRED ARTISTS: King, Bili, Pach, Chesh, Zoo
Any Y2 specifications? Oh so slightly pinker hair (e72a41-ish) that is a bit longer overall as well (the back can be in a short high ponytail if you want, but the front should probably stay similar, i don't know whatever), scars (two claw scratches from the bottom of his left ear to an inch or two away from his mouth: chibi has, left hand: kingleftover from this, right forearm, back). Clothes are any modern rich people clothes that wouldn't impair him too much in a random fight but I really don't care what they are. Can slap on any facial hair, horn/tail jewelry your heart desires. i promise i'm not this picky i just get carried away with teh scarz heart  

[Toshihiko Two]

NAME OF STUDENT AND THEIR JOURNAL LINK: Barth
Proof of exam thread: Exam
PREFERRED ARTISTS: Cheshire, others are cool too. (top other prefs would be Bili, King, Onnie, Zoo, Liz)
Any Y2 specifications? Hair + facial hair change, sort of a shaggy baked college roommate look. Clothing style is foppish inventor? (cravats, sashes, coats. ...safety glasses optional) He dresses warmly.

additional y1 ref : here and here and here and here.
additional y2 ref: here ?

He does have long claws. I have no idea how they actually look under his gloves, or how they work in relation to his fingers/hands. But he has them.

His skin color was previously tan (from getting boiled over Christmas) but by now it should be pale again. He has dark circles under/around his eyes, and his actual eyes are a (glowy) orange (best reference is the Forty Winks item). Horns should have grown larger, they are goatish/ribbed. like so.

More optional: If you want to you can add mechanical/inventy/remote/device things, or a skateboard?

Chesh  

[Miliardo Kason]

NAME OF STUDENT AND THEIR JOURNAL LINK: Samantha Lee
Proof of exam thread: GO
PREFERRED ARTISTS: Pach, Han, King, Bili
Any Y2 specifications? Her bald spot is replaced with a patch of Shehk's hair, she wears a green canvas jacket rolled up to the elbow to show off her arms still open in the front to her old top she wore, scar above the left hip (THANKS JINGLEBERY!). Two sets of dog tags (her old ones and a gift pair from Carry), proper pants, and combat boots. Her bone arm also has a purpleish glow to it, kinda like the floating ink blots around characters in super streetfighter IV. Otherwise: Fighting stance 8D

Bili  

[kuropeco]

NAME OF STUDENT AND THEIR JOURNAL LINK: Ren
Proof of exam thread: HERE~!
PREFERRED ARTISTS: ZOO, Onnie, Peas, Chesh.
Any Y2 specifications? Something like this! His hair is much longer, in one long, thick braid down his back now, with two gold bells tied in with the hair tie. A bandage wrapped around his right wrist and hand. As for clothing, his film noir type outfit. Basically pinstriped vest, suspenders, tie. Also a cheeky grin? C:

Zoo  

[Blade Kuroda]

NAME OF STUDENT AND THEIR JOURNAL LINK: Jericho
Proof of exam thread: GO
PREFERRED ARTISTS: (Just listing alphabetically since dont' really have an actual order of preference here XD)
Bili, Inu, Pach, Zoo
Any Y2 specifications? Jericho's hair is somewhat longer now and kept back in a mini ponytail. Aside from that his horns might have a little more of a sharper look to them? His clothing can change but he'd probably still have the same coat... though perhaps it'd look more worn/slightly tattered now? This is optional, though. Also would like dice to be somewhere in his art if possible. XD  

[x_Nata_x]

NAME OF STUDENT AND THEIR JOURNAL LINK: Nukpana
Proof of exam thread: GO
PREFERRED ARTISTS: Zoo, King, Oni G
Any Y2 specifications? First and foremost, I would like to request his pelt not be over his head in his second year. His hair is stick-straight, a little past his shoulders, with a few knots and braids in it. Googling Native American gives a pretty good idea of how their hair is <3

Second thing is his outfit. Pach provided a lovely reference image, of which I completely butchered with bad coloring and will be stealing several elements, since I absolutely loved her design xD (EDIT KING REF ALSO ;;; FFF) In the image he's shirtless -- I'd prefer it that way, with some sort of tattoo design on his chest/side? but the artist doesn't have to do that, if they don't just give him a form-fitting black sleeveless shirt, something like he was wearing first year but dark? (Also, he's pretty buff now, but if the artist can't portray that I understand <3) Everything else is pretty clear from the image, dark jeans, with tassels halfway up the sides. Bear claws from his first year image wrapped around his upper arm, as seen (kinda... orz) in the image? He won't have the faces he's holding in the ref image though, possibly year three xD

Other than that, only a few minor physical changes -- tattoos under his right eyes like the image, possibly black under his eyes a little too, fingers are tipped black about halfway up the finger, fading to his regular skincolor? His eyes also still glow slightly, but you can't see it in the ref image


Note -- all of this is just a series of suggestions, artist has full reign over everything <3 I realize I butchered Pach's poor drawing (SORRY PACH, I love u long time) and my desc sucks, I'm not expecting the artist to have to follow it even remotely if they don't want to <3
