A Little Bit About You: Well, I'm kinda addicted to roleplaying haha I own my own canine site, Nexos; however, I love doing horse manips. Dog ones are okay and I'm decent at them, but for some reason they don't just make me feel content like horse ones. I don't really care to rp horses so usually make manips for my friends, but it would change to people's requests.
Why You Want To Work Here: *looks at above answer* Building off of that I love to do horse manips, but I just can't rp them so I don't go on horse sites, besides CI2 which I'm not an active member of haha, so I would just do shout outs to people who want manips and do them. However, I'd love to actually work at a studio again.
How You Found Us: I asked Hails to point to me a good studio site that didn't have a staff team that was cliqueish and didn't welcome new members (hard to find these days), and she pointed me here =].
Any Questions: Nope =]

[ `ABOUT THE IMAGES! ]

Experience: Since 6th grade and I'm in 11th sooo...lordy. School is on break no math xD 6 years though.
Program: I have Photoshop 7 and Image Maker for animations.
Have You Worked Anywhere Else? If So, Where?: I was a mod since Wayward Designs opened and I worked at Obsession Studios until I quit like last year. Also I have worked in Beyond Escape. I've had random boards for studios on like CI2 and Nexos and CC.
To be totally honest 75% of my experience has been taking requests through PMs and IMs, but I'm excited to step out of that field.

Which Images You Will Be Working With: Honestly everything. I've done llamas, cows, deer, fish, penguins, rabbits... but mostly with equine and sometimes the dog.
Your Style: I love to make things look realistic. However, I crave that little fantasy edge of my manips. My horses usually have long flowing manes/tails (even sometimes the foals if that's okay haha it's an addiction I swear xD), that I draw in. Most of my manips tend to have a dark or "trying to find the light" side to them, even though I'm a really happy and go lucky person. They just really make me think more about the manip therefore I get more muse for it.

A red hooved/muzzled horse jumping off of a cliff. Can this go a little for background blending since down there *pokes* I really don't have any backgrounds to merge into haha.

2+ Examples Of Best Colorizing & Blending:
equestrian88.deviantart.com/art/Ying-63184859
The horse above is actually two horses. Horse one I used the head and neck and the other one I used the rest of the body blended together to make that one. Not so much a horse/background blend haha. xD

Again no background to blend into, it was more of a siggy, but it is a horse/dolphin blend.


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: 90% of the time you can't. It's not a stock site. You can only use the ones that pop up (and you double check the photographer's rules) during this little run down that I did for a Wayward Designs a year or so ago...

2.) Are all images from www.DeviantART.com available to a personalizer’s use? Explain why not if you answer no.
Answer: Haha no. You have to go to resources then stock images. Even then you have to double check the photographer's rules as some are VERY picky and some not so much so you need to always look for yourself. When in doubt credit ;].
3.) Will you be able to fill at least 2 orders a month here at Imagine That?
Answer: Oh yes <3.

I vote accepted for sure! The angles, the moods, I love it all. <3
Your manes and tails could use a bit of work (they look a bit flat; try using the burn/dodge tool to create some depth) but I'm willing to overlook that.
I must definitely order something from you in the future.

E! I'm surprised you didn't follow me from Cairoco. xDD I posted some of my app manips up there for critique. xDD It's awesome to have you aboard! =D I doubt you need any but good luck! [:

Thank you Maat <3 Yah I've looked up a few tuts for it and I'm currently practicing with it so hopefully my next manips will show improvement <3.

I actually think I was a member of the last Imagine That, haha, but I didn't know so I didn't want to post it and someone be like "Hey! I knew everyone missy and you were not there" so I just decided not to xD. Nice to see you here *tacklehugscarrot*!

[^Anna^]

If my vote counts, I agree with maat The horse/dolphin is pretty though slightly disturbing xD
