JOB APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN

It's getting harder and harder each day to provide the group enough cuties for everyone! Eggs are getting claimed very soon after they are put up for adoption. We've decided to open up colorist applications so we can keep Artistic Adoptions well-stocked and the members happy!

More colorists will be chosen as the group progresses and expands~ there is no set date for additional colorists to be hired, so if you don't become part of the team right away, you might still have a chance later on.

Job Description

Coloristis of Canvas-Cuties are the people who draw designs on the eggs and cuties that go up for sale in Artistic Adoptions! In addition to this, they also help out with things such as accepting fanart and updating Growth Gauges.

Rewards

Though it is a tough job, and not to be taken lightly, the rewards can be great. Appreciation from the members is just one thing.
You get to paint one legend egg that will be drawn by the founder, ~Lunar-Wind . In addition, you may design and hatch your own eggs, but only one every three months at the most as to not be in abuse of your powers.

Requirements

You must have a program that can handle layers such as Photoshop, SAI, or GIMP in order to properly use the bases. If you do not have any of the above, consider getting one. You cannot use Paint to make cuties.
It is preferred that you have had previous experiences with working at an adoptables group. If you don't, however, you still have a good chance of being hired.
You need a simple understanding of how to use layers, draw designs, and follow directions.
There is no age requirement, but you must act reasonably mature.
Proper spelling and grammar will improve your chances of being hired.

Application Rules and Guidelines

The colorist application is to be used for colorist applications to #Canvas-Cuties only.
Do not remove the application or copyright watermarks.
Cuties cannot have designs that block in more than 3/4 of their coats.
Keep it fairly simple - stay away from designs that are too busy as members may need to trace your design(s) when painting their egg.
Basic cuties only have designs on their primary color - do not make designs overlap the secondary or tertiary colors.
Try to stay away from using designs that are copyrighted.
Basic cuties only use one color for their markings - a light gray that is barely visible. Make sure that the color is grayscale and not tinted a different color, or it will be classified as an uncommon.

Let's get designing!

~~~

EGG

1) Open up the Egg folder and select the DESIGNS layer.
2) Using the Eyedropper/Color Picker tool, select a color from the shaded part of the primary (base) color.
3) Test the color, and adjust it to be lighter or darker as you see fit. The color should be dark enough to see clearly, but not dark enough to interfere when a design is painted over it.
4) Draw your design!
5) Save the file so you don't lose your work. Be sure it's saved as a .PSD or a .TIFF as to preserve the layers in case you need them again. It is a good idea to save periodically. If you're still using the original file name, remember to change the name of the file as to not overwrite the original application file - you'll need it later!

CUTIE

1) Open up the Cutie folder and select the DESIGNS layer.
2) Using the Eyedropper/Color Picker tool, select a color from the shaded part of the primary (base) color.
3) Test the color, and adjust it to be lighter or darker as you see fit. The color should be dark enough to see clearly, but not dark enough to interfere when a design is painted over it.
4) Draw your design!
5) Save the file so you don't lose your work. Be sure it's saved as a .PSD or a .TIFF as to preserve the layers in case you need them again. It is a good idea to save periodically. If you're still using the original file name, remember to change the name of the file as to not overwrite the original application file - you'll need it later!

~~~

CREATING MULTIPLE CUTIES

Once you've finished the cutie in your first application, make all the layers visible and hit Shift+Ctrl+E to merge them. You may have to do this manually by right-clicking on the layers area and clicking "Merge Visible" or "Flatten Image".
Save the file. If you're still using the original file name, remember to change the name of the file as to not overwrite the original application file - you'll need it later!
Create a new file that is 900x1500px.
Copy and paste the first application into the new document.
Repeat this for the other two cuties.
Once you're done with this, it's time to move on!

~~~

SUBMITTING

Save the 900x1500px image as a .PNG file. This will preserve the quality and transparency. If you're using SAI, you may need to save it as a .PSD instead and have someone open it in Photoshop or GIMP to transparent it.
Time to submit the deviation to deviantART!
The deviation should be entitled "APPLICATION : Your Username" or, if it doesn't fit, shorten it to "APP: Your Username".
The Keywords should be "adoptables Canvas-Cuties application"
Don't forget to link to the group in your description!
Submit your deviation to the Applications Folder of the group.
An admin will review your submission and accept it.
