How to Become a Guest Artist

In order to apply as a Guest Artist, send in the following form:
Guest Artist Form

We generally allow guest artist applications to be sent in at any time, but there is no promise that unless a specific request has been sent out for guest artists, that applications will be approved or accepted.
If we are specifically having a call open for Guest Artists, your form will be reviewed and replied to much sooner!
If you sent in a GA app through the form previously and would like to change your answers, just send in a new app with the updated info!

 

Unofficial Designing

On the note of unofficial design work and design trades/sales.
We have seen members have a lot of fun making designs for one another, and from time to time seen a transaction (whether an art trade or actual sale) where someone has had an Unofficial Design made for them.

We at the World of Lingua CANNOT and WILL NOT monitor these types of transactions, and as administrators cannot settle disputes.
For example, if an unofficial design is made for you and in the meanwhile the word or scent is claimed by someone else.
(We recommend for anyone in such a position to look to other languages for the same/similar word or a similar scent that will still be appropriate for a given design.)

We cannot reserve words or scents for people unless claimed via the MYO function.

We highly recommend if you are making a design for someone else unofficially, that they have the claimed MYO Slot in hand before you proceed.
If a design needs updates before final approval, those will also fall on whoever is submitting the design.
Administrators can provide design advice or confirmation if a design has any flaws of course, through normal means, but that is about all we can do in this realm.

Paralogos, Whiffling, Companion, Pet, or Caretaker Characters CANNOT be used in the group website unless registered to the Masterlist officially.
If you see bootlegs of our species or otherwise people claiming designs are ready for use when they aren't, please report it to us on Discord!
