MYO/redesigns Guide wip

MYOS AND REDESIGNS
Please feel free to DM an admin for feedback and questions. Please do NOT post images publicly before your design is approved, unless it is done so in the appropriate Discord channel.

    Make Your Owns (MYOs)

• MYO Slots are entirely new designs that start as blank slots with no design attatched until they are designed.
• You must use traits listed on our trait list for the respective species you are designing and the trait rarities attatched to the slot.
• You can base a MYO design off of a pre-existing character but it has to be under your ownership AND will be locked to this Vhaleria character. No seperate gifting/selling or tradeing.
   If you are inspired by something, please be respectful when using this inspiration and do not copy others’ ideas directly.
  
• The art uploaded to your design submission must be the design you would like to see on the masterlist. Once approved, the MYO Design is uploaded automatically to the Masterlist Entry.

  Redesigns

• Redesigns allow you to take a pre-existing Vhalerian design and change it to suit your preferences within reason.
• All redesigns must be submitted for admin consensus and approval, and note that a single admin cannot provide approval on a design.
• Redesigns MUST be based off of the Original Design.
• If you would like to edit the existing art on a design, you MUST get explicit approval from the artist who created the art/design, and this proof must be provided in the form of an image link within the design approval.
• The art uploaded to your design submission must be the design you would like to see on the masterlist. Once approved, the redesign is uploaded automatically to the Masterlist Entry.
  
  

    Redesign Limitations

• The design must always resemble the original in a recognizable way, meaning that the design must be recognizable as related-to or based on the original design.
• A rule of thumb is that if you drastically change one part, do not make drastic changes to the rest or at the very least make them minor. Please keep in mind the silhouette, or the main/defining shapes of the Vhalerian design.
• Some Vhalerians may have a theme (event adopts). They are limited in changes overall. Even when useing a redesign potion, the new look needs to resemble the theme in some way or another.

A redesign can change any of the following information, but it MUST be sent in for approval.

Markings - The patterns that cover the design
Hues - The base color hue of the design and its markings (red, green, blue)
Values - The lightness and darkness of the design and its markings

Spezial case:
Traits - The attributes assigned to certain aspects of a design.
Changes here are only within reason if not useing an item to swap,down/upgrade a trait.
Here you can change the way how its effecting the character. Example: Mineral growth on the back->Mineral growth on the ears. Also there shapes and color can be changed without changeing the trait.

Free/Cosmetic Changes

When making a cosmetic change only, please submit a design approval. If you change more on top of the cosmetic change like what is listed above, please submit a redesign request. We recommend sending in a redesign request with these if you are ever unsure!

• Hair length, color, and style.
• Body Type
• scars, missing limbs (a scar needs to be pressend, to not misstake it for a trait)
• accessories ( to change a Vampgons necklace, check out the promt "Change of fate")
• Any art update where the base design does not change, only the art.
