GROWTH CONDITIONS
CONDITIONS FOR Y2 GROWTH:
gaia_crown THERE IS A 4 MONTH WAITING IN BETWEEN PERIOD BETWEEN Y1 and Y2.
gaia_crown THERE IS A 6 MONTH WAITING IN BETWEEN PERIOD FOR Y2 TO Y3. OR HORSEMEN STAGE 1 -> STAGE 2
(( That means you must have owned the student for at least 4 months before you can request for new art for y2, and 6 for y3. This goes the same for Hunters. ))
- A reminder: there is NO OBLIGATION for us to do growths, every student is on a one stage contract: the artists are tackling growths out of the kindness of their own heart!
- exclaim HOWEVER exclaim YOU CAN NOW COMMISSION an existing TiH artist off site for growth art off from our approved commission artist list. This will count as official art and once you get the commission you can drop it off to cert. Of course, you are still more than welcome to get official shop growth art, though that may take slightly longer!

Obtaining Art
- Y2/Y3/etc art can either be obtained through customs, raffle OR free student raffle slots like this one. Make sure you have ALL YOUR CONDITIONS FULFILLED before trying for an art slot, this INCLUDES in customs or in bribes!
gaia_star This is the thread you go to if you want your character grown! WE CANNOT GUARANTEE that your student will be picked up but if you would like to try for the wait queue, please drop it off here. Due to time constraints we have removed the preference on artists, meaning if you drop it off here, you are eligible to have any artist pick it up. The artist will contact you via PM to make sure you are okay with this first! If you are not, then unfortunately you will have to wait until another artist is available
OR:
gaia_star You may commission a TiH approved growth artist for growth art now. This is for GROWTH ART ONLY, and only APPLICABLE TO CHARACTERS ELIGIBLE FOR GROWTH (or waiting currently in queue). This art, once completed, can be certed and will count as official art. This is ENTIRELY OPTIONAL and available if you are just simply looking for a different artist and/or want that art now. This is also available as an OFFICIAL ALT ART option for growths.
- You may NOT commission an artist even from this list for new characters.
- List of approved commission artists: (PLEASE CHECK THEIR JOURNALS/ PAGES FOR COMMISSION OPEN/CLOSED INFO ). If you do this we cannot guarantee their art, it will be up to you to check on them, as 100% of proceeds will be going towards that artist!

POSTING YOUR GROWTH ART RULES ]:
- POST YOUR COMPLETED EXAM/PROMOTION THREAD AND a link to your character's journal
- An admin will contact you if there are any problems
- Keep in mind ALL TiH art is BY CONTRACT only, that means, by stage. Us offering to grow your student for free is seriously out of the kindness of the artists who can do this!
- Characters DO NOT NEED y2 art to be able to rp starting Y2, same goes for y3.
- If you commissioned an artist you can cross your name out. If you still want free art you can keep it on but it may still take a while.... plus it'll give other people a chance too!
