Wild Blue Yonder Kennels

Wild Blue Yonder Kennels
Welcome to Wild Blue Yonder! Formerly Willow Creek Kennels, WBY specializes in Golden Retrievers. The line has been continuing since 2007--the Goldens here don't show the proper lineage, but the four eldest, as well as Kittyhawk Soaring II, were bred from dogs on FP Beta, and those lines dated back to 2007, so in a roundabout way they are being continued here! The younger ones, those with one-word names, are newer additions and an attempt to start my own line of Goldens, without initially outcrossing to other lines, as I've been doing the past few years. The Goldens here are named after warplanes, such as the F4U Corsair and P-38 Lightning, as well as other sky-related objects and ideas.

Dogs here are bred at either 88 or 100 days, for health genetics and stat boosts. Color, litter size, and other aspects are not top priorities. The only exception to this is with the red-colored Goldens, who are bred primarily for color and then for genetics.

Dog Sales
I rarely, if ever, sell my dogs. However, if I do, you must:
- Have minimum breeding level of 20
- Have all dogs 100% condition when entered in shows
- Have dogs entered in as many shows as possible, either 30 or 50
- Not sell dogs publicly
- If you ever decide to sell/retire the dog, you will allow me the chance to buy it back before doing so. I will try to make a fair deal.

If you don't meet any of those requirements, don't even message me. The outright answer is "no!" The price can vary; a very basic estimate is median sport-related stat x 1k, with more or less put on for age/level/genetics. I reserve the right to refuse a sale request for any reason.

Litters may be more available than weaned dogs. I always get the best female of the litter. ALWAYS. If the best female is not put as "Keep" when you look at the page and the litter is 0-3 days old, that doesn't mean that I don't want the pup. After 3 days, and you can message me about it. I am very picky about who my pups go to, so you better not DARE whine about not getting a pup. I may have a waiting list of who wants one, but if you whine, you will never be on the list. The criteria for getting a pup is the same as regular dog sales. Price is median stat at weaning x 1k.

About Me
I am a young adult on the West Coast of the United States entering my sophomore year of college, majoring in aerospace engineering. I've had an account on FP since January 29 of 2006, but don't let the date fool you: for a year after that I only came on for HTML coding help, and I've only actually seriously played for about three years due to various hiatuses. I love orcas, horses, dragons, and other various creatures, in addition to aircraft (especially World War II and modern-day fighters) and technology in general. I'm an awesome drawer with paper (at least people say so), with a big imagination for that sort of stuff. I enjoy reading, drawing, playing FP, horseback riding, and other stuff. I have a Pit mix named Alli and a Boxer named Roxy, and the horse I love most at my barn (but sadly do not own) is Bandit, a big grullo pinto American Paint x Fjord cross.

Characters
Vespera - [X]|[X]|[X] | My fursona. Her name means "Eve" in Portuguese, as she's based off of EVE from WALL-E. It was the prettiest translation, and it fit well. She can change her size, her wing markings pop out into actual, functioning feathered wings, and she hovers above the ground instead of walking, since her legs are too small to support her weight normally. She is gentle, understanding, and fair. She doesn't really talk much; she's near mute, but can communicate telepathically when she wants. She can fight when she needs to, but that's extremely rare, and only if she absolutely must. She's just a gentle giant with an obsession with pearls.

Savungr/Zavier - [X] | A horse character I thought up a while back. He's part of a Norse world that I have in my head, with all the equines having Norse names and such. Click here for more info on him.
5/24/13 - Well after some upkeep and stuff I am back on FP. School required me to take a sudden hiatus (I'm glad I did, I wouldn't have been able to survive otherwise), but now with all my massive end-of-year exams and such done, I'm able to come back on here and open up layout/tag services again. Hopefully I'll be able to be on more often this summer and in years to come, because COLLEGE.

9/17/12 - Finally, finally, after about a month of work (and using the 25 FPP from my beta account, lol) my elite account is back! Life is grand, and now I can flaunt Vess everywhere. I love my tag and I've missed using it. :D
Oh, and I got some more Goldens from using a side, too. Yaaay for foundation dogs to create my own actual lines, instead of using others' work. Eight of them will be foundation dogs; Kittyhawk Soaring is from my old lines (hence her 24HH status) and will just be shown/bred like the others (maybe saved for later breedings after my foundies get better genes), and Firebrand I'm going to keep and breed just for her color. I've never gotten a red Golden before, and I'm gonna try to get some more red pups from her so I can start a line of those, just for kicks.

8/21/2012 - Well about two days ago I gave myself a brand spankin' new layout, and I like it! Willow Creek has now changed to Wild Blue Yonder. It may not be as poetic as other kennel names (like Willow Creek), but I still really like it. And I get to have a Spitfire on my layout. :D And now that I've got layout coding down, maybe I'll open up sales of them to people. I'm sure someone would appreciate a nice Golden layout like this one! Especially since I figured out how to add nice borders to my text, heh.

8/19/2012 - Well then it's been a good long while since I've actually been here. Life's going to get pretty crazy soon, but I think I'll try to stay here as long as I can. I've kind of missed my FP, and I think I'll be able to handle staying here now. I'm considering changing my whole kennel name, along with the layout--maybe something sky-themed? I don't know, Willow Creek has been its name for forever, but I kind of want to start over with something a little...edgier, maybe. I don't know. I'll think about it.

In the Works

Please note my terminology for different tags. "Custom" tags are those involving recolors of one specific base--the colors change, but the pose and shading is the exact same. These will be found on the Art Sales Board. "Commission" tags are those done entirely brand-new for a customer--that base will never be used again for any other tags. The customer is receiving a one-of-a-kind tag.
I am MORE than happy to collaborate on layouts and tags, especially if I'm the one doing the coding or coloring. Message me if you're interested.

Layouts
Closed
I sell three different layout "packages".

Basic Package
Base Coding 2 FPP/400k FPD, Extra Scrollboxes 25k FPD each
With this package, you give me only the image you want as either manip or background and I provide the coding, working around the image I received. The image will not be edited; however, I will place a "coding by" note at the bottom of the layout. Base coding includes only the box for links; all other boxes are extra. This option can also be used for layout conversion from FP Beta HTML to the current CSS/HTML style. Please make it clear in your form if you would like a conversion, and I will message you to discuss the details.

Deluxe Package
Base 3 FPP/600k FPD, Extra Scrollboxes 25k FPD each
With this package, you give me the manip you'd like used in the layout and I will design the rest of the layout to your specifications. The manip itself will be edited as little as possible, but will be made to "flow" with the layout. The "Base" includes base coding and the cost of integrating the manip, as well as one box for links. All other scrollboxes are extra.

Premium Package
Image 4 FPP/800k FPD+ (Manip 2 FPP/400k FPD+, Base 2 FPP/400k FPD), Extra Scrollboxes 25k FPD each
With this package, I start with nothing but the guidelines you give me, and I make the manip and layout from scratch. The cost of the manip varies depending on the complexity and images used in it; for example, if you want a very specific castle or a rare dog breed that is hard to find images for, it WILL cost more. Giving me an image (with credit) to use in the manip will decrease your cost, but the base price will stay at 2 FPP. The "Base" includes base coding and one box for links. All other scrollboxes are extra.

Notes
- If I cannot find any pictures for your Premium manip then I will not charge you at all and let you know that I cannot do the image.
- My player name/number cannot be taken off of the image or layout in general. All images will have credits for where the images came from; you also may not remove these.
- I will NOT accept any images that are not either yours or from a stock website, such as Wikimedia Commons. That means no images straight from Google. I will be checking.
- I reserve the right to refuse any order, with or without a full or partial refund.
- Please give me about two weeks to complete your layout; I am a busy student and sometimes dealing with real life problems is more important than finishing your layout in two days.
- I will be emailing your layout code to you. You are more than welcome to make a random email address for this. I will not contact you outside of this transaction.
- I will be requesting payment before sending you the code. If you do not pay for your layout then it will be resold.
- By "Navigation Links Wanted" I mean which ones, i.e. if you want any more other than the kennel/atlas/market/etc ones.

Tag Commissions
Closed
I offer custom tags for use on Furry Paws and other sims, OR custom avatars for use anywhere else. In general, more difficult characters (colorful, lots of hair and/or accessories, unique species, etc) will be pricier for you than easier ones (natural colors & more typical species).

Pricing
No Shading: 1 FPP
Cel/Hard Shading (Cartoon Style): 2-3 FPP
Soft Shading: 3 FPP
Lineless, Realistic Shading: 4+ FPP

Fursona & Character References
Closed
My character references feature one large image of the character, the character's name, and any simple information blurbs (species, gender, etc). More information and items on the sheet require higher prices. The price of a fursona or character reference varies on the type and amount of artwork requested, the character's difficulty, and how much will be put on the reference itself. In general, more difficult characters (colorful, lots of hair and/or accessories, unique species, etc) will be pricier for you than easier ones (natural colors & more typical species). Please do contact me for a ballpark price of your character's reference sheet. The prices below are cumulative; you select the kind and amount of artwork and the amount of information to be on the sheet, and add the prices together to get the general total price. I only do reference sheets of animal characters, and reserve the right to refuse any request, with or without a full or partial refund. If you order lots of artwork and/or pay high prices, the "reference information" prices may be waived! You may also order just plain artwork, without any ref sheet at all, at these prices.

Pricing
Large Images
No Shading: 1-2 FPP
Cel/Hard Shading (Cartoon Style): 2-3 FPP
Soft Shading: 4-6 FPP
Lineless, Realistic Shading: 3-8 FPP
Small Images
No Shading: 500k FPD-1 FPP
Cel/Hard Shading (Cartoon Style): 1-2 FPP
Soft Shading: 2-3 FPP
Lineless, Realistic Shading: 3-5 FPP
Ref Information
Name & General Info (species, gender, etc): 10k FPD
Add 2 Extra Fields (likes, dislikes, powers, etc): +20k FPD

Example:
If you wanted a ref sheet of your dog character to have one large, unshaded image; two small, soft-shaded images, a headshot and a pawshot; and just the name and general info, you would add the cost of an unshaded large image (1 FPP), plus the cost of two soft-shaded small images (2 FPP each, coming to 4 FPP), plus the base cost of the name and general info (10k FPD), your grand total would be 7 FPP and 10k FPD. Simple, no?
