A Teeny Question @ Anniversary Tokens

Postby Jaykobell » 10/01/2016 10:32 PM

So, I understand that we can't draw new markings with the special anniversary tokens, although it does sound like we can use already-drawn markings (i.e. Wynd tiger stripes, etc).

My question is: do those customs have to be strictly recolors? Or can they include very minimal markings?

By minimal, I'd imagine something small and simple like my Shinzo here:

Which are custom markings, but they're very minimal. Or even maybe this Lubshi:

Or even little 'Mystwalker' markings like on this Shinzo?

Man I have a lot of these

I'm only asking so I know, like... where I'm going. :,0 I'll be making mine but regardless, just to make sure they abide by the rules for those specific tokens.

Sorry for the delayed response; I was out of town this weekend. Anyways, the official definition of them is that it allows no new markings, including really simple ones. That being said, I did allow Freezair a pass on a single very tiny change that I could do with a mouse, without having to pull out my tablet, and colored the ear of a Lakundra.

So if you have a single very small thing that you would like and can be done without the use of a tablet, it'll be allowed to pass. For example, if you wanted just the lightened muzzle of that last Shinzo. Just has to be something very small and do-able with a mouse. The original intent was straight recolors only (though allowing any things we do have, such as if someone wanted a Temple Fellox recolor), since they're quick and easy.

Hmmm, alrighty. That's what I thought, but I wanted to make 110% sure. If anything I'll pass it by staff if I think of like... a tiny thing like that. xD To make sure it's fine.

Thank you~ uvu

I actually also had a question about the Anniversary Tokens, and I figured I'd post it here in case people also had the same question.

I wanted to see if I could get my custom Kuhna form of Arkiel. However, I want him to have the sad smile expression, and if I recall correctly, the Wynd markings haven't been adjusted for that expression yet. Would I still be able to get him using an Anniversary Token? I'm not sure how much redrawing and stuff that would take xD;

I'll check and see how much editing would need to be done in order for the markings to work on the sad smile expression, but it might be a day or two since I got home really late tonight and have pretty much no time for anything right now. xD; If it does end up a bit too much of an edit right now to work for an anniversary token though, you can wait a bit until the marking has been retouched to fit that expression as well and it'd work. Marking-wise at least.

Unfortunately for everyone, I've also got a token question. For kuhna bought with one of the Anniversary tokens, do the known accessories count as edits?


Bottles smashed, I raised my hand
How can you all even stand?
And why is there joy in this poison? Oh
Faking smiles and confidence
Driving miles to capture this excitement
I can't take anymore

You're never gonna get it
I'm a hazard to myself
I'll break it to you easy
This is hell, this is hell
You're looking and whispering
You think I'm someone else
This is hell, yes
I am in hell

If, by known accessories, you mean the ones found on listed in this post, then they should be available. I have always ordered existing Kuhna edits, like feral claws, without having it charged as an add-on.

As Kyrit described, we're mostly defining add-ons based on whether or not the artist has to pull out their drawing tablet to make it. (Aka, any super non-simplistic markings, any new items that have to drawn from scratch, etc, would be add-ons.) Items that already exist on different Kuhna species are already drawn and colored, so they just have to be recolored.

I feel like I should note, even though it wasn't asked, in the event of ordering a custom without any markings, markings can be added on later as add-ons,  if there is an add-on shop open, or if the user does it and pays to get it approved in this shop. Knowing this might come in handy when it comes to designing customs.

I know this thread is a bit old to be posting in now, but the topic of this recently came up and one of us apparently informed Toxic wrong. No fault on her end, but to verify, you cannot add full markings to customs after they have been created. This information has been in this rule thread since we started allowing user-made add-ons. It's one thing if you just want something small added (as we'll count it as a tattoo, not a marking) such as a star on a Kuhna's cheek, but no major markings. Again, Toxic had asked one of us, and we apparently didn't remember well and told her wrong or perhaps it was just poor communication on the extent of what could fly. But I wanted to respond to this topic (and I'll probably make an update post possibly) just to make sure to clear up any potential future confusion. =)
