If you have to take some time off or need to take a leave of absence, please let us know here, so we know what’s going on.

Seeing as there are many orders to fill, positions on the Shock Studio’s Staff are always open. If you are interested in becoming a part of the staff and want to put your skills to good work, feel free to apply for one of our many positions here!

People who do not completely pass the Application process, are moved here to further their skills so they can become a member of the staff. Here they undergo trials that are designed put to the test and help them better their skills. Nothing is better than passing a challenge.

Everyone that has passed the application and/or trial process has their application located in here. If you want an idea of what we have to offer, this is a good place to start.

Want more insight on what we have to offer as staff members? Here, the staff gather things for their portfolios to give you an idea of what they are capable of. This is a good way to see if you want to request someone in particular to make a picture for you or if you just want to look at some pretty pictures. Either way, it is sure you will find something you like in here.

Do you have a question on how to do something or have resources that would be useful to anyone? This is the place to post them. Remember, we want to help everyone improve and this is one of the best ways to do so.

Another way to help someone’s work is to critique them. If you have something that you are working on that feels like it is missing something, have a finished piece that you feel could use some work, or just want a second opinion on it, this is the place to go. Remember to be nice when giving your opinions, people want to feel good about their work.

If you need anything stock wise, this where you can find it. Inside is a useful stock index of some of the most popular stock holders. If you have a stock account and you want to get some recognition, feel free to post it here.

Do you need some coding help? Here we try to find or make the codes you need to make your site look the way you envisioned it to be. Excellent resources will also be found here, also.

Maybe before you make a request, you might want to look here. This is where all of the unclaimed and free manipulations that are up for grabs for anyone that might want to use them are located.

Do you want something very specific done for you? An Icon, a signature, or touch ups on your own images? Here is where the specialties are. Small shop holders are the ones that specialize in something other then standard character image making that is included in the Order Lobby.

As a new member, it is sometimes hard to get to know people. Come here to find out more about the people around you and maybe post something about yourself, too. Plus, I like saying hello to new people *wink*

This is where the the members of SHOCK! come an talk about what ever they want. I am sure that you will find something and/or make something to talk about in here =D

Odds are that most of us here are an artist of some kind, whether it’d be drawing, maniping, writing, music, graphic design, etc. this is the place to show case your talent and flaunt what you have put so much effort into to make.

It’s time to let the cards fly! In here you can find an array of games that we all have grown to love in our various pursuits around forums. Anyone can contribute to this game night, after all, what is game when there is no one to play it with?

Besides the monthly contests, we hold other contests for our members. When that happens, you can find them located in here as well as the monthly polls. Prizes vary and they all come from the member base. Ideas are always welcome!

Why do most of us have requests? Because we role play and have characters that want to be finalized through picture. Here we can bring our characters to life in this role play section. There are not any tight rules, seeing as we are not a role play site. It also gives you something to do while waiting for your picture to be finished!
