[ `ABOUT YOU! ]

Name: Alex
Age: Fourteen
Contacts: iClarinet - AIM | Musical-spartan.deviantart.com
A Little Bit About You: Um, um... I play the clarinet, love old Disney movies, [TLK FTW] hard rock, summertime and long walks on the beach. :D
Why You Want To Work Here: Um, it would make me a better manipulator, and... I love making images.
How You Found Us: OLord, I don't remember. I've been stalking the site for a few months, now... ^^;
Any Questions: Not really...

[ `ABOUT THE IMAGES! ]

Experience: Um... oh my. Four or five years; self-taught.
Program: Photoshop Elements 6
Have You Worked Anywhere Else? If So, Where?: No.
Website/Gallery: My Deviantart.
Which Images You Will Be Working With: Equine, mostly - maybe a little canine here and there.
Your Style: I don't know if I have a style. People say I do, but I can never see what makes my images... mine. That's bad, isn't it? :/ Mainly, I just try to fill the orders. If something calls for a dark, forboding feel... then I make it so. Does that make sense at all?
2+ Cutting Examples: One without smudging and one with smudging. More is always welcomed.
5+ Completed Personalized Pictures:

• My best pegasus. Old, but I still like it.
  
  
• I love the lighting.
  
  
• The mane is too white and the horn looks bad, but...
  
  
• Brush overkill.
  
  
• More brush overkill! x_x

2+ Examples Of Best Colorizing & Blending:

• Sky blending is bad, but the wings are good. Look at that. xD
  
  
• Sky blending..

I don't do much colorizing with horses.
Only foxes. ;3

Quiz Questions:

1.) Can you use images off of www.flickr.com? If so what’s the proper etiquette to use images from there?
Answer: Yeah, sure you can. However, you have to go to 'Advanced Search', scroll all the way down and click the 'Creative Commons' and 'Adapt, modify or build upon' check boxes, otherwise you get copyright images, and that's illegal. Even if you do have a CC'd image, most photographers ask for credit, on or off the image, and a notification with the finished work; sometimes even a link to where it will be used. Of course, you should be doing this already... ;D
2.) Are all images from www.DeviantART.com available to a personalizer’s use? Explain why not if you answer no.
Answer: No. Only stock photos are avaible for manipulation/refrence purposes. It is because normal photos are copyrighted, which is 1) Illegal and 2) Most photographs just don't want people to use their images. To find stock images, search Resources and Stock Images > Stock Images. Then, it is expected you follow every stock provider's rules, which mostly consist of a notification and a link to the finished work. However, some don't allow their pictures to be used on SIM sites, or off dA.
3.) Will you be able to fill at least 2 orders a month here at Imagine That?
Answer: Probably. :3

I'm definitely gonna say accepted right away!
Your splashes could use a tiny bit of work, but that's nothing you can't work on!
I just love your use of brushes and textures, as well as your sky blending and pegasuses! I think you'll be great as a personalizer.

May I also add that your manes and tails are so good? ;D

[katielovesyouツ]

HAHA. I totally didn't even notice this was unfinished until now! How stupid am I. xD
But still, I'm definitely not gonna go back on my word.
1. Because it's all true
and 2. I'm friggin' lazy.

[{... samara]

Just popped in to say...
you rock.
The Boy Who Accepted The Star is my favorite of your works. ^_^
H.M.C. is a good movie too.
Keep it up!

Olord, thanks a lot. You have no idea how scared I was to apply here... but doesn't Zodiac have to look at it, too? And, um, lololol, it was unfinished... am I allowed to take requests still, or should I wait?

[{... samara]

Another mod has to accept it, and I believe you must wait to be accepted.
No worries, you totally kill me haha xD

[^Anna^]

I say accepted too <3 I love "The Heart of Mythology" in your gallery. Welcome to the team.

[katielovesyouツ]

Thanks Anna!
And yeah, usually I'd wait for another mod to accept it, but I haven't seen Asy or Sango for awhile and I didn't know Anna was back already.
Screw the rules anyway! Everyone else breaks 'em, why the hell can't I for once?! >.<

And nah, you don't have to finish it. You can just go ahead and start making images.

And alex, no Zodiac does not have to accept it. I'm only waiting for her opinion on two of the other applications because I'm not sure what to do about trials.

And it seems like no one else ever does the frigging the applications anyway!

</rant>

Okay, thanks. If there's any typos in this post I apologize; for some reason the little quick reply box is highlighted in dark brown, so I can't exactly see what I'm typing. :I Um, so, thanks again so so so so much. I never thought I'd make it.
