The Luminaria: (coming back soon!)

[Solistia]

So, if I were to open up customs, what do y'all think would be a good standard price for color-only customs? (keep in mind I currently have no pre-made markings, so all designs are drawn by hand XD)

[Ravvana]

I fail at prices, oh so much XDD

Ummm... 50k?

[PonyMama]

Colors only, with no markings (or small easy ones like stockings) I would stay close to 10-20k, for new memebers when they come to be able to afford them. One stage only

same thing but two stage 20-40k

[Solistia]

CYO is now closed, and I've caught up with everything (so all CYOs that will grow are done...you'll just have to wait and see whose X3)

Hoping to get a couple more opinions on the custom pricing before I set my prices, then hopefully some custom will open!

[YourLoveOnly]

I agree with PonyMama.
I'd probably charge 50K if I included the basic markings (socks, stockings, paint etc)

Prices would defenitely go up if you mean color-only as in: no edits, but all kinds of markings allowed.

[Solistia]

Okay, so I'm opening some special custom slots. As some of you may know, I'm quite taken the Gene Pool adoptable. Here's the deal.

Garney currently opens custom slots in the Trading Forum for $RL to help with her bills. In order to help with this, Gene Pool offered starter fish for $5 so Gene pool will get a custom gidget, and the user will get a starter fish.

Using this offer, I will offer a full non-edited growing custom for someone to buy a fish for me, so Gene Pool gets a Gidget, so Garney gets paid. It may sound complicated, but basically, you get a slot in Garney Custom trade thread for $5 via Gene Pool, you get a Lumi/Sumini custom, Solistia gets a fish, Gene Pool gets a gidget, and everybody's happy |D

You may PM me about further details if you're interested. (Gene Pool has already verified that this is acceptable, just don't make it complicated for Garney XD)

[YourLoveOnly]

It sounds complicated xD
It's quite easy though.. Person X gets a custom from you. You get a fishie from Gene Pool. Person X asks Gene Pool for a custom form (including Gene Pool as the owner of course). Then person X claims a slot in the garney custom thread and pays for it. Dooone.

I may be interested in this, please PM me.

[Solistia]

Holding a pick-a-door event tomorrow! (technically later today XD)
Depending on the amount of people in the thread at the time, other events may be run as well!

[Solistia]

Okay, the last CYO has finally been certed X3

If there are enough people around, I can go ahead and start the pick-a-door (and possible other free events)
So, anyone up for it? :3

[Taruia]

In class, but lurking XD

[YourLoveOnly]

Err. I have 10 more minutes xD

And then about 5 minutes every half an hour during commercial breaks xD

Those of you who have recieved semi-customs, let me take just a moment to explain them!
A Semi-custom is unlike a normal custom in which you pick out how a pet looks. Instead, you get to choose several colors (which I will use to make my own design for it), or perhaps some inspiration (like a pattern, or a song).
Form:

Username:
Pet Name:
Breed:
Gender:
Stage: Adult
Colors/Inspiration: (can be hex codes, or descriptive colors, also links to songs, pictures, or other inspirational sources)

And while people get me these forms, you all have another chance to win, with a simple random picture post!
Just post a picture or link to a picture of your favorite breed of dog, and you could win this pretty girly =D

[SplitX]

Yay~!

[Solistia]

(heehee, I'm glad people like their pets X3)
And Mint Chocolate Ice Cream is my favorite....it was originally gonna have a foresty theme, but after I laid down the base colors, my boyfriend mentioned that it looked like that ice cream, so it spawned form there XD (and then I made a neopolitan ice cream sumini after that XD)

Well, after I get done with these 3 customs, I'll be stopping the random picture post, so you have until then to post your favorite dog breed picture!

[SplitX]

[Solistia]

Okay, all customs done and available for pick-up on the front page!

Also, any time you want the full-size version of your pet, all you need to do is ask =D (whether custom or pre-made)

Hunni's One Call
(I hope I did justice to your pet, that was a very moving song. Since you had said your friend was in the army, I opted for the fluff to be in army colors, and the body to be a shining lake, to represent the hope of continuing on even after seeing devastation)

hiyoko's Jewel
(Dalmatian you want? Dalmatian it is |D)

PonyMama's Lutalo
(I think I was in a dog-mood when I made him XD Based slightly off a blue Merle pattern =D)

And now that those are done, time to see who won that lovely girl!

There were 8 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

   1. SplitX
   2. Taruia
   3. YourLoveOnly
   4. sera
   5. Ravvana
   6. IvySpring
   7. PonyMama
   8. hiyoko
