XaXona here, (also commonly known as Eve-Chan, Hikari, or Nikki)!
I am looking for people to join SYA (pronounced: Sigh-Ah), Sponsored Young Artists. SYA is an Affiliate of my upcoming business/portfolio site called Chaotic Fate (specializing in Custom Animation Cels, Custom Anime Prints, Commission and more).
What is SYA?
SYA is a site that is dedicated to young artists. When you join SYA, you are given FREE web space on a sub site of SYA. YES, it would be completely FREE to a SYA member. If you are tired of using other free sites which don't allow you to direct link, SYA will not have this problem. SYA is part of Chaotic Fate which will be it's OWN domain and will have a paid web host which will allow you to direct link. If you are tired of POP UPs YOU WILL NOT HAVE THEM on SYA. As a member of SYA, you will get your own web space, however you may not be able to upload your work by yourself. It has not yet been determined if you will or not.
How will you get your site up? Well, you will send Chaotic Fate all of the pictures, information, html documents and anything else required for your site and WE will put it up for you.
You don't know html?? No problem! Chaotic Fate will take care of the HTML for you if you don't know it.
How will you update your site? If you can't make updates on you own because you don't have uploading privileges, then how will it be done? Easy, You send us the updates and tell us what needs to be done and WE will have it updated with in 24 hours.
(Please note that this uploading situation might only be temporary and SYA members eventually MAY be able to upload themselves.)
If you are wondering how to join, read on to find out!
You MUST pass a review. If you are about to leave, or you screamed from fright at the last sentence, DON'T WORRY! It's not tough, I promise. If you don't think you are good enough, you are wrong! We don't necessarily recruit GOOD artists. We recruit YOUNG artists. Meaning, YOUNG artists who we feel have potential or charisma. We want to provide equal opportunities for those who never catch a break. We want to allow you and your work to shine, grow and we want you to learn.
We only have a limited number of spaces open so I will tell you what you must have for the review and there are also CONDITIONS to being a part of SYA. (Yes, there is a catch, though not a bad one.)
For the Review:
For the review you must submit a paragraph describing the following:
-Your name, what you want to go by on the site, your e-mail and if you have an AIM I.D.
-What you want to call you site. (yes, you have to have a site name)
-Describe the theme/look of your expected site. (this can change, it will just give me an idea, and you can also just have a very simple site if that is what you desire.)
-Describe what sort of art you do and how long you've been at it.
-Give a description of yourself. (not your looks! =^.^=)
(please note: you can write as much or as little as you want, but PLEASE understand, the more descriptive you are and the more enthusiastic you are will make a HUGE difference on whether you are accepted.)
You will also need to submit AT LEAST 2 of your pieces and NO MORE THAN 4. (we DO NOT judge on your skills. (Remember: We want to create a learning environment and room for improvement and praise.) PLEASE make sure you work is at 72 DPI. THIS IS CRUCIAL!! If you take up too much space on out e-mail or we can't view it, your e-mail will be deleted.
You will know the result within 24 hours. You must respond back within 3 days or you will forfeit your entry.
CONDITIONS:
Yes, we come to the conditions.
-You must UPDATE. This means you can not let your site sit around and go nowhere. You must be active. Even if you update on picture every two weeks that's fine. It can be a minor update. HOWEVER, if you do not update, then you will be warned and then removed.
-You will also be required to have a small link to your Affiliate sites, SYA and Chaotic Fate. I know how annoying people find it, but you should WANT to have your Affiliates on your site as a thank you for supporting you. If you truly have a problem with this, then we can talk it out. Though this is in return for no pop ups.
-You must listen, be willing to work on your stuff, and most of all be kind to others.
That's it! If you have any more questions, PLEASE e-mail me, XaXona (Eve-Chan, Hikari, Nikki) at the following address. Also, if you are interested and wish to be reviewed, send your review to the same address. nikkijones9@yahoo.com
Thanks a lot!
