These breedings and mocks count for august! <3
Strife and Yumi present: Mini and Aquatic Summer Breedings!
Slots: 2 Mer (Mer x Mer Pairings) - Strife, Yumi 2 Mini (Mini x Mini Pairings) - Strife, Yumi
Edit Level: Uncapped
Are you doing mock children?: Yes (both of us are)
Payment
This is a pay what you want kinda thing but the minimum spend is 10 mill gold / 1 platinum. So if you think our work is worth more than 1p go ahead, if you don't think it's worth more than that then just pay the bare minimum. Trades must be titled appropriately and sent to either Yumi's mule (MoufuYurei) and Strife's mule (Stargazer Ghost) within 48 hours dependant on who you won a slot from or you risk losing your win. If you're sending the trade via a mule account, specify the username of your main account in the title of the trade. In light of the economy changing, the minimum trade amount is 10 million gold or 1 platinum, prices are going to be different to normal customs because the pricing was never adjusted to the current economy.

Rules
Since rules change periodically when the need arises, please make sure you are up to date on everything listed here. Failure to do so will result in disqualification. We are not obligated to inform you if you have broken a rule. This is a polite reminder that colorists do not have to pass down incredibly complex traits, such as full-body custom scales. Post certed images. It helps us see soquili without having to click every link! If you don't have a cert, a thumbnailed uncert will suffice, along with a link proving the soquili's eligibility (eg. a cert request made some months ago). Provide full names. This applies to both the soquili and all owners. Please make sure they're spelled correctly as we copy the information directly from the form. Fill out the form completely. If we spot something wrong, we'll point it out so it can be reposted. Forms cannot be edited. Once the couple is put on the main list, we will not be going back and re-checking every form. However, you are allowed to edit anything that doesn't affect the list, such as adding uncerts, teepee links, throwbacks, or form modifiers. If you need to edit anything past that, see the next bullet point: If you need to fix anything that changes the list, (be it by our request or your own) state in this thread that you are voiding your listed entry and that you’ll be reposting. After that, you may post the new form. If you fail to do this and are rolled for an incorrect slot (ex. you removed your unedited couple), your win will be nullified and someone else will be rolled instead. If you are asked to void and repost a form, but edit it instead of voiding and reposting, the entry will be disqualified until you post a new form. Once the list is updated, we will not be going back to check forms. Please repost if asked to do so. Each person can be involved in no more than two pairs in each raffle, and only win two slots per month. One person MAY enter both of the couples they are involved with themselves if they need to, but make CERTAIN that couples are not posted twice. Work out ahead of time with your breeding partners who will be responsible for entering in a pair. If they are entered twice, they will be disqualified from that raffle. Furthermore, you must have basket rights to the breeding (and therefore own or co-own one of the parents) in order to post the breeding. Proxying is not permitted. If you do not have breeding rights to a soquili you co-own, then it does not count towards your two-couple limit, but you may NOT receive a basket from that breeding in any way, shape, or form. You may only win two breedings per month total (Bribes do not count). If someone wins a breeding raffle slot, then they may only enter one couple for the remainder of the month's raffles. Please use your exact, current Gaia username, not a nickname or old username even if that's what is on the cert. (??? Defunct rule? Have never seen this used since I was told to use it in April 2016) Major mistakes that are spotted after winners have been rolled, such as triple-entries into the breeding raffle or lack of permission, can result in a nullification of the win. It is in your best interest to spot these ahead of time so that they can be corrected, or extraneous pairs removed instead of nullifying all of your chances. Note: colorists are not required to pass down extreme edits, even for extreme x extreme pairs. Some traits may not be passed down, some traits may be reused. For example, custom legs may not be passed down, and duplicate wings may be used for siblings (or duplicated for the same soq if the soquili is multi-winged). I will pass down extreme edits! However I will be utilizing this allowance in this slot opening. I will not do custom skinwalker pelts or custom legs, and I may duplicate wings. NEW!, specific to these slots:Please do not use photobucket links. Please use official soquili host links if possible; if not possible, please use alternatives like imgur or discord. If you have a link to a pet on the soquili photobucket (uncert, cert, doesn't matter -- any official PB link), you can find its link on the new host as follows: Soq Photobucket Link: i15.photobucket.com/albums/a354/soquilipets/Yumi/Certs/2016/GanAst1_A.jpg Replace the underlined part with www.soquiliera.com/soquili/images/ to get the official soquili host link: www.soquiliera.com/soquili/images/Yumi/Certs/2016/GanAst1_A.jpg In other words, anything before the colorist's name folder gets changed to the following: www.soquiliera.com/soquili/images/ Slot specific: No staff -- this twist type is extremely rare and we would like to spread it out amongst the general population of the shop who are not as able to access these twists and breedings as easily as we are. No staff pairings.Thank you for understanding. Stream: All customs and breedings are free to be streamed at the colorist's discretion. You're free to state you'd be interested in seeing it for your own custom or breeding, but we make no guarantees. In addition, users should not make special requests, such as "only if you quote me," "only when I'm around," and so forth. By entering you are agreeing to adhere to the colourist's livestream rules and that you have read the livestream disclaimer. Official progress will be shared via WIPs from us. Streams are just for entertainment. If you don't want your pets to be streamed then they will be DQ'd from the list automatically. You are welcome to enter another colourists' slots where livestreams are not part of a colourist's workflow and motivations. Live Stream Disclaimer (Yumi's Streams): "What you see on this stream will probably not be the final result, that includes but is not limited to sketch concepts, edits/edit level, markings, colouring, general design and file names (especially for mystery pets or events). Don't make your decisions or judgments based on what you see in this stream because this is only a part of the creative process and may not reflect the end result. You've been warned."
How to contact Strife: Please do not PM this account (inbox almost full); if you have concerns or questions, the best way is to quote me in the main thread (fastest) or send a PM here!

It is required for both owners to post permission for the breeding in the MATES AND PERMISSION THREAD prior to the close of the raffle in order to be eligible for raffles.
UNLESS BOTH PARTIES HAVE POSTED PERMISSION IN THE PERMISSION THREAD (not this one, but the permission thread) BY THE TIME THE RAFFLE CLOSES, THEY ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RAFFLE AND WILL BE REMOVED. This also includes co-owners; if you co-own a soquili and your agreement involves agreeing on mates or breeding, BOTH co-owners have to have posted permission.
CO-OWNERSHIP
If one of the co-owners of a Soq in a pairing is NOT getting baskets from the breeding, please put the co-ownership agreement link in the form in the appropriate place and say who does or does not have breeding rights. We will assume that any pairing submitted without a form counts the breeding toward ALL co-owners. If it's not in the co-ownership agreement, the co-owner forfeiting will need to post here saying as much.
Remember guys, if an owner has no rights to this breeding it MEANS NO RIGHTS. Aka, you cannot gift nor co-own a basket with the person with no rights.

Summer Twists
Summer Twisted Tunnel of Love If you'd like twists added to your breeding, fill out the modifier below.
[size=18][color=mediumturquoise][b]SUMMER TROPICAL TIKI TUNNEL OF LOVE[/b][/color][/size]
Are you willing to risk getting summer-inspired traits?: Yes/No ~~~ Tentacles, Yes or No? 8V:
List 3 phobias you personally have and thus do not want added to the Children:
Summer Tropical Tunnel of Love Modifiers For those worried about getting twists they wouldn't be happy with, please add the form below. Please be concise and just answer yes or no.
Please keep in mind, attempting to box a colorist in by saying no to all but one or two or so things might result in a breeding without any twists at all. Please also keep in mind that colorist preferences differ and the form is open to interpretation. To see examples of what some sections could cover (just ideas, no guarantees), see below:
Breed/Body Traits: - Tropical/summer colors --- (ex. bright colors, sunset, colors relating to the things below: water, jungles, volcanoes/fire, etc.) - Tropical/summer makings --- (ex. jaguar spots, "feather texture" coloring, tribal, etc.) - Elemental and Environmental Inspired Traits --- ((traits based on the elements as well as flora, fauna and geography of the tropical variety) Themes & Accessories - Beach/ocean accessories --- (shells, coral accessories, sharkteeth, umbrellas, sea glass jewelry, etc.) - Flower/plant accessories --- (tropical fruits, hibiscus, palm fronds, plumerias, flower necklaces, etc.) - Island/tiki accessories --- (tiki masks, grass bracelets, unique torches, lanterns, etc.) - Mesoamerican accessories --- (ex. jewelry, feathers, arrowheads, etc.)
Note: the "companion animals" category is very broad, and includes everything from fruit bats, to tropical birds (toucans, conures, etc.), to tropical mammals (small leopards, small tapirs, etc.), to tropical aquatics (fish, nautilus, jellyfish, seashorse for aquatic breeds, as well as octopus, crab, etc. for aquatic soquili and other breeds), to tropical amphibians & reptiles (lizards, turtles, snakes, etc.) and so forth. If you would like companion animals but want to avoid certain types, state that in the phobia list please.
[size=18][color=mediumturquoise][b]NOT TOO MUCH SUMMER D8[/b][/color][/size]
[size=11]Breed/Body Traits & Mutations ~~~ Tropical/summer colors?: Yes / No ~~~ Tropical/summer markings?: Yes / No ~~~ Elemental and Environmental Inspired traits: Yes / No ~~~ Tropical animal-inspired: Yes / No
Themes & Accessories ~~~ Beach/ocean accessories?: Yes / No ~~~ Flower/plant accessories?: Yes / No ~~~ Island/tiki accessories?: Yes / No ~~~ Mesoamerican accessories?: Yes / No ~~~ Piercings?: Yes / No ~~~ Tattoos?: Yes / No ~~~ Tropical companion animals?: Yes / No [/size]
Bald Ponies If you have a bald parent or both parents are bald, their offspring will get hair with a random style thrown into the mix. If you would rather just have a bald kid, please add the following to your form.
[size=18][color=red][b]I Have a Bald Pony and DON'T want random hair mixed in![/b][/color][/size]
Scarred Ponies If you have a parent with scars, they won't be added to the offspring (assuming they're recognized as scars, as some may be misinterpreted as markings). If you want your kids to have scars like their parents do, please add the following to your form.
[size=18][color=red][b]These kids can be rough and tumble like their parents (Scarred Parent)[/b][/color][/size]
Battle Damage If you have a parent with broken horns, battered wings, tattered feathers and membranes, and so forth, their kids will have a chance of getting them unless you post the following form. If your soquili has custom wings/horns/tails/etc. that are broken off or incomplete due to damage, the children will have the chance to have complete wings/horns/tails/etc. in the perceived 'pre-damaged' style of the parents.
[size=18][color=red][b]Let the children not carry the sins of the parents (Undamaged Wings/horns/tails/etc)[/b][/color][/size]
Bearded Ponies While we have no issues with facial hair, if you don't fill this out we'll likely be a little more hesitant of adding it to even the sons. Please note: facial hair is NOT 'fluffy fur'. Examples: Facial Hair vs. Fluffy Fur
[size=18][color=brown][b]FACIAL HAIR[/b][/color][/size] [color=white]---[/color][b]Do you want the facial hair to be passed on[/b]: Y/N [color=white]---[/color][b]Just on Males? (If you say no, there's a chance of a bearded chick)[/b]: Y/N [color=white]---[/color][b]I love Fluffy fur. Do you? 83[/b]: (facial hair can be turned into fluff instead!)
Personality/Heritage/Roleplay Personality/Plot Form: This is totally optional and will only give us stuff to play with IF we feel like it. This is not a personality-based breeding, and the offspring will thus not gain edits if the parents are unedited (though templated items may be added if we see fit) unless we roll a throwback or variant.
[b]Short Summary of their plotline:[/b]
[b]What are their parents' personalities?[/b] [i]Mother:[/i] [i]Father:[/i]
[b]Do the parents have professions?[/b] [i]Mother:[/i] [i]Father:[/i]
[b]Link to RP(s) where something happens of importance:[/b] (please post a summary if able)
[b]What are their family dynamics?[/b] (Who will be raising them and how, do they spend time with their grandparents, what friends of the family will they be raised around, etc.) PLEASE link to people mentioned here/members who will be spending time with them on a positive note/gifting them, as how they shape up involves them as well.
If you're going to mention Soquili that are not the parents/posted throwback relatives, use the following form.

If you want an open spot to type generic things that'd help us figure out what variations to do (rituals, gifts they'd be given at a young age or when they come of age (aka become adults), etc. E.g. Masks for Raven Lords or Kitsunekuma, Lanterns for Fiamma Eterna, etc. Please provide links to relevant info and rps for this. It's not a guarantee but still an interesting read.)
