Hiring Information
Right now, we're only searching for colorist staff, but that doesn't mean non-colorist positions won't open up later down the road. As a colorist here at Sanctuary, we ask you keep in mind the demands that we'll be asking from you.
1. Please be able to take constructive criticism. We have a Colorist Manager who may ask you to edit your work. If you take customs, the customer might ask for tweaks, changes, or revisions to work you are proud of. We will never be cruel, but criticism is going to happen and if you can't handle possible feedback, this might not be a right fit for you.
2. Please be active and available. It does us no good to hire someone full time, who can only handle part-time or occasional work. Please be honest with us if your schedules get too crazy and you need to change your availability, if you're hired. And please, don't try out if you really don't think you're going to be around to color for us for more than a month or two. While we understand RL happens, and unexpected surprises can pull you away, to get hired, only to quit or simply go MIA (and still be active in other shops) is . . . difficult.
3. Please remember, this is a customer service position. You will be dealing with customers, especially if you take customs. Being friendly, and ambassadors to the shop, are what we're looking for. Check your drama at the door and remember to be civil, regardless how you feel about people. We get, some people just don't click, or get along, and maybe you don't like everyone on staff or in the shop. . . but we are all volunteering our time here. And you will be expected to deal with people you don't like civilly, even if they're freaking out. We're a team, so please, keep the drama private.
Positions Available
Please note, all these positions are open for the following availabilities. These are the base minimum to stay hired on!
Full-Time: 3 customs/freebies (depending on rotation) =OR= 2 breedings once every two months
Semi-Quarterly: 3 customs/freebies (depending on rotation) =OR= 2 breedings once every four months
Bi-Annually: 3 customs/freebies (depending on rotation) =OR= 2 breedings once every six months
Edit Full-Sized Colorist
Individuals who are able to color full-sized pets, as well as edit them to our standards.
Unedited Full-Sized Colorist
Individuals who are able to color full-sized pets, but will NOT be allowed to edit them. This is a color-only position.
Unedited Familiar Colorist
Individuals who are able to color familiars only! They will NOT be allowed to do edit work on familiars, and will not be allowed to work on full-sized pets. This is a color position only! NOTE: All familiar colorists start on No-edits, but can eventually gain rank to do edits and things such as familiar bribes.
Quote: We will be hiring for the following levels for Full-Sized Colorists, both Edited & Color Only: Apprentice This is where most colorists start. They are allowed to create pets for freebies, flaffles, and mockbreedings. Their work needs to be approved by the Colorist Manager, but can move up to Junior Level, and from there Senior, with time and practice. for Familiar Colorists, we are hiring for Level 1 colorists! Level 1 Color-Only for Freebies & Flaffles, but you can move up to Level 2 and possibly Level 3 with time and practice. Perks and Payment
So the big question is, what do you get out of this? Not only do you get to join and be part of a pretty awesome staff, but your efforts help keep the B/C community (and this shop in particular) thriving! Additionally, working with all this talent should allow your own color and edit techniques room to grow!
Unlike other shops, colorists do not get 100% payment The reason SfS takes a certain percentage of payment from colorists is to pay the hardworking Non-Colorist Staff that help keep the shop running day to day. The longer and harder you work for SfS, the less of a percentage the shop takes. The scale breaks down the following way:
Apprentice Colorists pay 30% to the shop.
Junior Colorists pay 20% to the shop.
Senior Colorists pay 10% to the shop.
Additional perks include gaining monthly credits, which you can cash in for pets for yourself or others!

Rules for Entry
1. Please read this entire front page before you enter!
2. If you have questions or concerns, please PM them to Searching For Sanctuary
3. Please only use your own art in all categories! If we catch you using art you did not color or work on, or stealing others art, you will be punished severely. We have a 0-tolerance for art thieves. Besides, we want to see what you can do, not what someone else can.
4. If you do edits, please remember your style is going to have to match our templates. This is not to say you cannot have your individual touch, as every colorist does, but understand, you might be asked to change a style to be more fitting for the lines we have.
5. Please fill out the form in its entirety.
6. If we have a hard cut-off date or deadline, please follow it. You might be DQ'd if you miss it, even by just a few minutes.
7. We will perform background checks on potential hires and cross-check references.
8. You do NOT have to have worked in a B/C shop before, or a previous colorist, to enter.
9. We understand sometimes people don't get along, and mistakes have been made in the past. We will not hold past mistakes against you, but do understand, if you have a drama-filled background, or we get many complaints from previous employers, this might dampen your chances of being hired.
10. We at SFS do not need to explain why we choose the hires we do, or justify why we did not hire someone. While we will give helpful feedback back to colorists who ask for it, we do not have to give details on why one was not picked. Please note, that even if you are not hired now, this does not mean you shouldn't try again.
11. We will have various Rounds, and people will advance accordingly. This process will take a few weeks. Please understand there will be deadlines, and people who miss them, will be DQ'd.

They've worked for me just fine.
I'm using the one with folders.
What sort of problems are you having with what?

Only the familiar folder works for me.
It says something like RGB is not supported in the file and that the file is broken, thus not able to open.
I'm using SAI if that makes any difference.

That explains alot then. xD
Also, it says no edits for familiars, but can eventually do edits.
Can we edit these owls if we're interested in potentially ranking up in the future?
