Heya! I run a minishop called the Little Fox Shoppe, and I ended up doodling a series of Pokemon- Eevee and its evolutions to be precise, because I love (guess what) foxes! I decided I'd like to sell them in my shop, but I tend to take forever at coloring stuff, I honestly like drawing much more than coloring. So I've come here seeking a colorist! I hope that this can be a fun little project for someone who likes to color, no further commitment is required other than what you see here, so its not like being hired as a colorist for the shop.
If you'd like to see some of my other work, I have a DA gallery: http://kitsune-rei.deviantart.com

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
This is about the size to be colored on (though the original is larger). I have a total of 8 pieces to be colored- Eevee, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon (the rest have samples below)

These are *not* breedables, they're simply minishop pets that will be sold in a limited numbered edition as-is. The coloring should in essence match their regular look, I'm not making variants. I just need someone to color my lines. I do all the rest of the work- the resizing of the final image, adding credits, numbering and sample watermark, and selling/delivery through my shop.
You will of course get full credit on the image as colorist.
You have permission to use the images in a gallery (with credit) or as an example of your work for other colorist applications, but they may not be used in another shop or reposted in any other way without permission. I'd also like to post them on my DA (with credit to others who worked on em.)

Payment:
You will be paid 50% of the profits from their sale. I was thinking of doing a limited edition of 30 each, for say 700g apiece (this isn't set in stone yet, but will not go lower.) So that would mean that your half for just one of the colored Eevees would be about 10k. Multiply that by the 8 styles and that's over 80k for the full project. This can be adjusted depending on what you normally get paid for colored lineart. If I end up also having someone else fix up my lineart, the profit division will be 45% me/ 45% colorist/ 10% lineart cleaner and I'll up the sale price a wee bit.
I think these will sell pretty readily once people see them. If there's a lineart cleaner I'll pay them in full when the work is done since that's a smaller amount. The colorist will be paid 50% of their part when the coloring is all done, and the other 50% once I've had a chance to start selling them in my shop (Its just kind of a big chunk to pay you all at once.)


If you know of anyone who would be interested, feel free to direct them to this thread! heart
I'm also happy for input on what you think they should be priced at (after colored) and how many of each should be sold, or if you're just interested in buying them (its always nice to know if other people are excited about them too)!
If you just want to buy them when they become available, then go subscribe to my shop thread wink

What I'm looking for:
I am seeking an artist who has at least some experience at this sort of thing and is higher than beginner level. This means you have your own graphics program that you're experienced in. I'd like someone who can do as well or better than myself at coloring.
Coloring can be whatever style you prefer, and if you want to make my lineart look nicer, hey go for it!
I'd like them to be shaded and the style to be consistant through the series. You don't have to go crazy with uber layers of shading, just something that looks nice.
I need someone who can commit to finishing them ALL within a reasonable amount of time. Its appreciated if you can give me an approximate time frame, but I don't want you to feel pressured so take your time. I understand sometimes life happens. I'm aiming for within a month.
Preferred finished file type of .psd, .png, or .jpg

As per a question, the Pokemon are to be colored in their normal colors, they're not meant to be variants or anything.

To apply:
Simply post that you're interested and provide a link to a gallery or link to some images that show your coloring style (the lineart doesn't have to have been done by you.) Images of pets/animals you've colored are preferred, and images you've shaded yourself (please note if the shading was a template and not yours). If you don't have much to show, you're welcome to color the Eevee above as a sample.

How long before a colorist is chosen?
Well, I can't say for sure, I'd like to choose one within a couple weeks. It just really depends when someone comes along who really wows me, and I feel goes well with my lineart style. If a bunch of great people come along right away then it should be pretty quick!
I'm going to give some time for people to apply, and then start reviewing them and narrowing it down, and crossing names off my list. So you'll know if your name gets crossed off that you don't have to worry about keeping time aside for the project smile I appreciate everyone who stops in and applies!

Lineart samples:
Here are samples of the other lineart (these are shrunk, I'll pass the chosen colorist the original sizes to color in whatever file type you prefer.) The final images will be a bit smaller than this.

Color References:
Here's some Wikipedia links to the official images for reference. I'd like the coloring to generally follow these images (as far as colors/markings go) though it doesn't have to be preciesely the same shade etc.

Applicants I'm considering:
The people below are ones I'm considering for the job. Please don't feel bad if I don't select you, I'm being kind of picky for this project! Its not just your skill but also my taste. I think everyone very much for their interest and application even if they aren't selected 3nodding Those I have decided not to use will be crossed out.
After seeing some of the submissions, I think I'll have someone also clean up the lineart a bit as well (may or may not be the same person as the colorist, so don't worry if you can't do it.) I'll change the percentage division of profits if it ends up being a third person so they recieve a share too, though it won't be as large.

To bed with me~
i'm interested in this job. ^___^

My reference pics would be in my "before us lies eternity" banner, and on page 2 is my part of the shop. ^___^ See if you like the way i color, i can also color different ways, I am actually a very great mimic-er show me a picture i can paint that way, but i have developed a simple way of coloring for my "lovedots" but yep. ^___^ Check it out, let me know what you think, and if maybe you'd like to have them colored differently. ^___^

LOve,Heather

Lemme just say: your lineart is adorable. ;0; heart

I'd be happy to color for you! :D Not that I'm a whiz, or anything, but.. whee
