HEY YO WHAT'S UP WHAT'S UP? Sup fam. Mari here. Figured I'd jump on the bandwagon here and make myself a little customs thread!
Before we go any further, a note! I am a guest colorist. I will be the first to admit that I am not as fast and efficient at pumping out kids as some of the other artists in the shop. I have a lot of things going on in my personal life that tend to slow down the process. I am married and working a job that can be both physically and emotionally draining thanks to my anxiety, so there are often times where I will be online but not working on things. If you are the type of person that expects your art to be done immediately, or likes to constantly ask for updates on the status of your art, I will have to kindly ask you to chose another artist for your custom.
That being said...
CUSTOMS ARE CURRENTLYOPEN! HOW IT WORKS: Customs will be opened at my leisure, for predetermined amounts of time. I will make a post stating that customs are OPEN, and I will clearly state how long the customs will be open for, as well as any additional rules not already laid out within the thread. At the end of the customs period, I will make another post, stating that customs are closed. Winners will then be determined from the entries posted before the cut-off.
Sometimes I will do RNG customs. Sometimes I will do CC. Sometimes, I might decide not to pick any customs from the ones that are posted. I will try and be very clear at the start of the round what method I will be using to determine my customs.
If none of the things stated above turn you off to the idea of ordering a custom from me, then please continue down for the rules and do's and don'ts!
Posted: Mon May 08, 2017 9:44 pm
THIS SHOULD BE PRETTY SIMPLE. ● Read the 'Guide to the Worlds' forum in its entirety before entering into any of my customs.
● Use the correct custom forms (listed below) in my thread.
● Do not get upset if your custom is not chosen. There is always next time!
● Please make all payments for customs within 24 hours of obtaining a slot! Use the Custom Information forum as a guideline for prices! (Note: Tipping is allowed though definitely not required. If you DO plan on tipping, please keep that to yourself! Remember that these customs are NOT bribes, therefore you are not permitted to try and hint at any extra gain for me from choosing your custom over another. Doing so will get your entry removed!)
● You are allowed a maximum of twoFIVE forms per custom round. You must post both forms in one post!
● You are welcome to cross-post forms between my thread and other colorists' threads, but please take it upon yourself to remove forms that have already been accepted elsewhere.
●You MUST fill out your form in its entirety to be considered! If anything is left blank, whether it be because you want CC, you forgot, or whatever, then I will consider the form incomplete. This includes the price for your custom!
● Please be aware that when you are customing me to do a certain character, you are purchasing MY rendition of the character. Even when you give me specifics for a character, there is always a chance that I may change or tweak things to fit my art style and such. If you are not willing to accept a few little changes, then please don't order from me!
● Please turn your sigs off. Makes life easier for everyone.
● If you have image refs in your form of any kind, please just put them in a spoiler! I don't want to follow links out. Thank you!

...SUP? Kay! So I'm Mari! I prefer doing semi-customs with a cohesive theme and simple designs. I tend to stray away from super detailed designs, and I don't do masc chars justice at all so I wouldn't suggest requesting them from me!
To help you really understand what sort of stuff I'm more inclined to do, here's some likes and dislikes of mine:
LIKES... ♥ Pastel goth/grunge ♥ Fairy Kei ♥ Goth & Occult themes ♥ Pastel and bright colors in general really ♥ CC clothing, but with plenty of references or a clear concise style. ♥ The original races. If you order a purebred demon/imp/geist/litch/bapho from me I am 99% more likely to want to accept them. This includes hybrids of these original races. seriously though I love them and you should too.
DISLIKES... × Too many specifics OR no specifics at all. Forreal. Please don't. × Bright, clashing colors. A little bit of color theory goes a long way. × Palettes that are nothing but neons. × Over-complicated outfits or hairstyles. × Converting pets from other shops mad × Masculine characters in general ;;
Examples: (Click for full-sized!)

SEMI-CUSTOMS... I used to hate semi-customs... Now I love them! If you include a bribe, please be aware that it is only there to help increase your chances of me choosing your form, and doesn't give you any special perks over a regular, free semi-custom!

FULL CUSTOMS... Guest colorists can now accept bribes! That said, my 'Bribe Full Customs' are going to be treated as regular Full Customs in regards to what you can get! Offering a bribe just increases your chances of me choosing your form! Please keep this in mind while ordering!

ALT OUTFITS...

❤ Alright alright alriiiiight. One more post for good measure!
Posted: Mon May 08, 2017 11:20 pm
❤ Aaaand we are open!
For this round of customs, here's the deal:
● This round is going to be open until 12:00 PM EST. That is just under 10 hours from now. Any forms posted after this time will not be counted. Note that I will not be locking the thread at exactly noon for this round (Because I'll still be asleep probably). ● If more than 5 people enter, then I will be choosing one person via RNG. If there is another form that I like, then I may CC an extra winner. ● If 5 or less people enter, then I will just be CCing my favorite from the forms posted. If there isn't one I like, then I might pick no forms at all. ● Failure to follow any of the rules will result in me excluding your form from consideration. ● This is my first go at customs in a long time. It might take a while for me to get everything done. This is gonna be a warm up for me. Keep this in mind.
On that note, you're now welcome to post forms!

I'D LIKE A FULL-CUSTOM PLEASE!
Username: Rinial Sisterdragon Starting Stage: Senior Race: Hybrid (Fey/Grimm) Base: Fey body i, Wing set 2, Grimm tail and 3 ears
Description: Vague descriptors, but also have references.
Body: Pale white with rainbow sparkles Eyes: pale amber Hair: See reference for style and color Clothes: See reference for style and color Wings: See reference for colors Tail: See reference for style and color
References (if applicable): Original pet:[x]Uncert for accessories Etc [x] Outfit idea/colorations and facial expression. ^w^ Cost: 1,150,000 + tip
Username: jinxgirl5 Starting Stage: Stone Race(s) You'd Like: Geist/Imp/Litch hybrid Base Preference: Infant C (Geist/Imp arms, Litch ears) Freshling B (combo Geist, Imp-2, and Litch) Trait Preference: N/A for now, specifics would probably be submitted with a growth form Face Preferences: Face 7 and Hair 45, or at least something of a similar style Description:
Body: Main color of the body should be a pale silver with a slight pink tinge (I used e6dce6 in the reference picture). She has black markings on her face, ears, and legs (See reference picture). The fur on her arms should be orange, and the edges should fade out into a Geist glow, like the glow is part of the fur instead of surrounding it. This probably won't be super apparent as a freshling (especially her arm fur), since Imp freshlings have long sleeves that hide their arms, but as a Junior and Senior she will start wearing clothes that free her arms. Eyes: Black sclera and orange, glowing irises Hair: Silver white (I used e6e6e6 in the reference picture) with pastel rainbow bangs. Clothes: Skirt should be grey base with orange and dark grey plaid. Sweater should be black with grey stripes up the sleeves and a rib cage logo on the chest. Collar and sleeves of the sweater should be alternating grey and white. Horns: Black Tail: The tail should be the same orange as her arms. The end of the tail should fade into a Geist glow. Same as how I described her arms (how they'll look in future growths) where the glow isn't surrounding the tail/fur, but is part of the tail/fur. I will actually leave it to the colorist's discretion on where exactly they want the tail to go Geist, just as long as some of the tail at the base is normal Imp tail. Claws: Black References: [Paper doll] [Based on] [Cert proving ownership] [Bones] Cost: - 1,650,000

Body: CC, but as a note I'm planning on having him end up with my girl Shochu, so complementary colors are appreciated. I'll include her pic with the references. I'm rarely ever picky with color combos, so whatever you think would pair great with her is fine with me! Eyes: CC Hair: CC (I do like long hair though, but not required if you have a specific idea/preference) Clothes: I don't have a specific outfit in mind, just a general style. I kinda like the steampunk shirt/vest look, just cause it's like a combo of gentleman and sexy, but that's pretty much all I've got. I put a couple of ideas in the reference section, but the exact style/colors are up to you! References: [outfit idea] [vest idea] [another outfit idea] [Shochu] Cost: - 450k (graduated from uni)

Username: Gouttelette Starting Stage: Senior Race(s) You'd Like: Grimm Base Preference: A - H And Their Other Versions (Female Bases) Trait Preference: Floppy Ears: - 4 Face Preferences: It's up to you! ~ Description: Lolita Sailor Doggo.
Body: For all the colors of this character, I'll leave it to you in a way. It would be very appreciated if her whole palette is based on an actual dog or something that feels fairly simple and natural. Colors like: Beige, Light turquoise, Brown, Old white etc. If you feel like giving my character a more crazy palette or want to experiment, it would be important to work with pastels or not too saturated colors ~ Clashing or pure colors makes me dizzy. Eyes: I am a big fan of eyes that as somewhat the same palette ( Yellow - Brown, Pink - Red) as the body but that are either darker or lighter. But they should always 'blend' with the colors of the character and look natural; No clashing colors next to the softer ones. For any other details, it's your own playground. Hair: Short and fluffy! The floofier the better ~ Also, it would be nice if the color of the hairs would have the same restrictions as the eyes: Same or close to the palette, but darker or lighter depending on what you might have in mind. Clothes: As the theme suggests it, this character is going to look like a dog in a cute sailor costume. The style that I thought on stating was the Lolita Sailor. The clothes must keep their dark blueish colors or have an element that reminds people that this fluffy character is wearing sailor items. Since this character will have fluffy legs, giving it simple flat shoes like ballerines, sandals or running shoes is a must. Tail: Original Grimm tail with details like a colored tip, spots or stripes. The pattern is up to you. References:
Cost: 1 Mil to cover anything that you might feel like doing.
Username: Belladonna Snow Starting Stage: cc Race(s) You'd Like: Kirin or CC Base Preference: cc Theme: I am a big fan of pastel goth so I am going with that. References: random colors of pastel this is so cute Cost: - 10 bil
To be honest I love surprises. But I do have one request and you don't have to follow.. could I have a all black outfit kinda like this black black as my soul I don't care for the shoes but like I said you don't have to follow it. I do love surprises biggrin
