1. ART THEFT IS ABSOLUTELY, 100% NOT ALLOWED! Theft of ANY kind will not only land you an eternal blacklisting, but mass reporting and general hatred from the pitchfork-wielding art community. Let's all be legitimate here, ne?
2. Those who beg for free pets will not be tolerated.
3. Harassment of the staff is strictly prohibited! Please keep in mind that we aren't robots; we're human beings: pink, squishy, amorphous little art-creatures that DO occasionally face distraction from things like the real world. We do our best to handle tasks in a timely manner, but life DOES happen, so please bear with us.
4. Respect is key. Anyone that chooses to flame or disrespect their fellow players will be warned and, if the behavior persists, banned permanently from the shop.
5. Please refrain from sending trades until your order has been confirmed by the mule.
6. Likewise, all trades should be sent to the MULE ACCOUNT.
7. Bumpers and shop regulars are always loved... and great effort can breed great rewards. <3
8. Failure to comply with these terms of conduct will land you a spot on the Black List. Please, for the Mother of us all, use the brain you were born with!
9. When nesting your pet in a journal or other storage blog, please use the URL we provide for you. Otherwise, your lovely brush pet might not grow properly!
10. Pending.

General Faq and the Nitty Gritty:

Your anatomy is off/That pose isn’t possible! D:
… Ah, but you see, sometimes we must sacrifice reality for the sake of beauty and celebrating line quality. <3 Such is the way of Sumi-e.

My pet doesn’t look exactly like the calligraphy drawing! Why are they different!?
Once again, please keep the art’s style in mind. Your pet’s calligraphy portrait is impressionistic in nature, and the living creature that comes of it may develop some (minor) alternate traits which the artist didn’t include!

Can I have one now?
Sorry, you’ll have to be patient and wait like everyone else!

How big are the pets?
They’re generally of an average or normal size for their species.

I want a pet like so-and-so’s!
If you want a pet of a similar species, that’s just fine, but keep in mind that we never reuse our lineart—EVER! Everybody creates each new pet completely from scratch, making each one unique in both lines and color.

Will my pet be taken away if I don’t roleplay?
Of course not! <3 These pets aren’t roleplay required—though it is encouraged (as the deities tend to favor those they see often). The only way you can lose your pet is through a serious infraction—blatant and/or repeated harassment, cruelty to other players, art theft, or any other Blacklist-worthy act. In other words, you have no reason to worry! =D

Do you really make new lineart for EVERY pet?
Yes! With the exception of stage one (Ink Well), we use no pre-templated images. Each creature is essentially a custom.

How smart are these pets? Can they talk?
As with humans, the intelligence of a pet can vary from dunce to genius—though they seem to be substantially smarter than “normal” animals. Only the Brush Gods are capable of speech in human tongue, but latter creatures can still communicate amongst themselves and understand their guardians.

The battle was over.

With a final slash from the great Celestial Brush, the steel gray monster gave a mute cry of defeat as it fell, heavy, to the blackened earth. She had done it. The goddess Amaterasu, origin of good and mother of all things, had succeeded at last; Yami and all its hideousness was vanquished from the world forever...

White ears flickered at the sound of a faint voice; Waka, the last survivor of the Ark, was calling… calling her home.

The tale of Okami Amaterasu is widely known—of how she, the great Shiranui reborn, defeated the evils which plagued all of Nippon. Orochi, Blight, Ninetails, the mountain demons Lechku and Nechku… even Yami, the source of all foulness, was no match against the power of the goddess…

And yet still, there was one story which had been forgotten, buried in the sands of time forever… or was it?

Little did the humans know of the fourteenth god: Burakumin the fox. Accused of helping the cursed Moon Tribe into the mortal realm, he was banished from the celestial plain… for a crime that he hadn’t committed.

Stripped of his dignity and godhood, the realm of mortals became a slow poison to his mind. Confusion soon turned to misery, misery soon turned to pain… and finally, that pain became a seething hatred toward the ones who had so cruelly betrayed him. Consumed by the desperate craving for revenge, he sought the darkness, and made a plea to Yami, begging for the power he needed.

His prayers were answered… but at a terrible price.

Unprepared for the surge of black energy that coursed through his body, Burakumin screamed and collapsed in an instant. Neither his mind nor his body were capable of handling the strain and, driven mad with agony, he fell into a deep, comatose slumber. No one in Wep’keer could have fathomed what horror lay dormant beneath their village, going through the motions of everyday life for weeks, months, years… and centuries, sleeping until the world itself had forgotten his existence. Had it not been for the sudden demise of his master, perhaps he would have remained there for eternity….

But, as the saying goes, there would be no rest for wicked.

When at last he awoke, the fallen god discovered a new, disgustingly peaceful world— and a new body of his own, tainted, raw, and pulsing with black chi. All vestiges of his former purity had vanished, sealed beneath the ghastly white mask chiseled out of his flesh… but the power of darkness remained with him, more intense than he could have ever fathomed. In an instant, Burakumin knew what had to be done: what needed to be restored for the world to be in proper order once again…

It would only be a matter of time before Yami rose again.

… He would make certain of it.

Okami Amaterasu

“Origin of all that is good and Mother to us all.” The wolf reincarnate of Shiranui and Sun Goddess herself, Amaterasu once traveled Nippon with her celestial envoy, Issun, and saved the world during the infamous Day of Darkness. In slaying Yami, she brought peace and prosperity to the world, finally returning to the celestial plain once her mission had been completed. To this day, it is said that she watches over her people from the other side, shining down her light and blessing those who prove themselves worthy.

Issun

Amaterasu’s celestial envoy— an outspoken little poncle famous for his talent with a brush… and notorious for his love of busty women. Having assisted the Sun Goddess on her journey to save Nippon, he has since become a household name… and it isn’t uncommon to see one of his beautiful kami paintings hanging in a home or shop.

Waka

The last survivor of the cursed Moon Tribe—a curious, charismatic and showy young man whom Issun (not so) affectionately called a “half-baked” prophet. Despite his cryptic premonitions and evasive conversational habits, Waka was, in fact, the one who fought valiantly by Amaterasu’s side 100 years ago, when Orochi first manifested on the Celestial Plain. Upon Yami’s destruction, it is said that he left the realm of mortals and returned home once again…

The Brush Gods

The deities themselves— fierce and (mostly) majestic creatures who have taken forms based upon the Chinese Zodiac, each Brush God has the ability to bless those they deem worthy with a single brush technique to paint the world. They can are easily identifiable because of their bright red markings—though it seems as if most humans can’t perceive them as more than “normal” creatures. These almighty spirits are usually hidden, however, and only show themselves on very rare occasions.

Burakumin

The corrupt fox, once a Brush God himself, who fell from grace and sought the darkness after he was expelled from the Celestial Plain. Swearing revenge on those who wronged him, he has become a pressing threat to the people of Nippon, stirring up chaos and discord wherever he appears with a slew of wicked followers.

The "Tainted"

Those humans, brush pets, or other living beings who have been marked with the ink of Burakumin— literally or figuratively. They will often bear the “Taint” stroke on their bodies as a tribute to the one they call Master.

The Inksweeps

Neither beasts nor demons, these trouble-loving life forms have become a real pest throughout Nippon in recent months. Coming in all shapes and sizes, they seem to be formed quite literally from a jumble of calligraphy strokes, brought to life by the dark ink of Burakumin’s tail. Generally quadrupedal, they are chalk white, spindly legged, amorphous mask-wearing creatures that seem to defy anatomical possibility with their fluid twists and lanky gates. It is only with the aid of a blessed sutra charm that they can be tamed by humans… but even then, their hi-jinx is sure to cause problems.

Stages

Stage 1: Ink Well
Your pet has been received—and it’s nothing like a pet at all! Beyond a harmless little picture scribbled across its paper labeling, this small object doesn’t seem very interesting—but looks can deceive! In the hands of a skilled artist, this ink might just birth something beautiful…

Stage 2: Calligraphy Doodle
At last, your pet has taken form! The Ink Well has been painted carefully onto a roll of parchment now in the traditional Sumi-e style, taking the form of a majestic beast! Treasure this precious image, and keep it safe from wear and tear at all costs…

Stage 3: Young Animal
The great gods have rewarded your devotion with a blessing, and your treasured ink painting has sprung to life in the night— what a marvel! Young and child-like, your creature is at a very vulnerable stage in life. It is highly impressionable and, more importantly, extremely vulnerable to the forces of evil. Love them, teach them and protect them as best you can; the task may be difficult, but its rewards far outweigh the trouble.

Stage 4: Adult Animal
Congratulations! Your creature has reached maturity and fully developed, both mentally and physically; it is at the peak of livelihood—healthy, robust and majestic . They’re more than capable of holding their own now, yet still retain an unbreakable bond with their guardian, and remain loyally by their human’s side through good and bad. Most can even handle lesser demons or tengu, and a select few might even possess some (slight) magical ability!

The majority of brush pets will forever remain in this stage— but Divine Intervention might just come about for a lucky few that prove themselves worthy...

Stage 5 (Special): Brush God
If a creature and its guardian have demonstrated exemplary valor and heroism in their deeds throughout Nippon, the great Amaterasu might grant them a blessing— turning the lucky beast into a Brush God as well! Not only do they gain the classical red markings of any proper deity, but now they can speak freely in human language and paint the world with their own UNIQUE brush skill! Only a handful of the most cherished and well-loved pets will ever ascend to this level of Godhood... but what a transformation!

They can be handled in a number of different ways, ranging from trivia and picture hunts to flaffles, raffles, or other luck-based happenings.

The ruler and Master of the thread. She is the reason this shop exists, because she wanted to do it before anyone else... though she wasn't prepared for the popularity it would attract. None the less, she roleplays the adorable Ammy (with Issun), as well as her in shop NPC's Raven and Zee. Raven owns the shop.

Hiring Artist

ARTIST

Currently Hiring?: Yes

This post is used for those time when I am hiring fellow artists to join the shop. Now, it's not as simple as coloring and editing lineart in a place like RotBG—not at all! Seeing as we create each new pet from scratch, the work will be demanding, and the applicant should be versed accordingly in a variety of different creatures, poses and styles.

Below is what I am going to be looking in an artist that I will hire.

-Can you replicate the Okami art style? (it doesn't have to be perfect, of course, but the feel of the game still needs to be there.)

-Can you draw a variety of animals?

-I'm definitely looking for someone that can draw people and Poncles. While this isn't a requirement, it DOES earn you a fair amount of praise and favor with the gods!

-I am NOT looking for a colorist; you must be able to DRAW!

-Willingness to roleplay is also desirable, but not required.

What will you get if you are hired?

-75% of the profit from any pet you make, flatsale and 85% for custom orders, goes to you.

-Perks, discounts and other special offers will be awarded to those who deserve it!

What I need from you:

Gaia Name:
Current examples of your work:
Any shops you currently work at or own:
Any work you have in Okami Style: (Not required yet)
Willing to rp: (Not required to be hired)
Can you draw people and/or poncles?: (Not required to be hired)

Though you don't have to have examples of your work in the Okami style when first appling, you must show SOME type of personal art in order to be hired.

STAFF

Currently Hiring?: No

Staff are to keep the thread and orders organized, cert orders and keep general management of the guild and thread.
