- We don't officially allow cosplays (you may not use cosplay names or reserve non-OCs). That said, you can use a full custom to have your guardian colored any way you want, even after a character, as long as it follows the color/edit rules.
Guardians are mostly natural in coloration with the exception of their eyes, which can be any color. Muted, semi-natural coat colors such as lavender-tinted gray or pink-tinted brown are acceptable, but rare. More unnatural and vivid colors tend to be restricted to smaller markings or accents and shouldn't be too bright or clashing.
Markings can be unnatural in shape (ex, swirls) but are still organic in feel (no perfectly-formed circles, straight lines, etc). We do not allow symbols as markings.
Human clothing is not available as edits; cloth and armor items should look similar to something that would be worn on a horse IRL. Things that might be put onto a guardian by their chosen like necklaces and scarves are also acceptable. Currently we do not allow wings, non-deer horns, or different tail or hoof styles as edits.
All customs come with a totem, even if they are adult-stage only. You may pick your totem pose with a full custom.
Custom types
Mini Custom
- 50k non-growing adult (includes totem) / 75k growing (all stages through buck/doe)
You may specify the guardian's gender and ONE color or color-related adjective, but everything else is up to the colorist!
Due to their low price, mini customs will generally be fairly simple in appearance.
Example 1: Male, golden-brown
Example 2: Female, pale
Semi-custom
- 100k non-growing adult (includes totem) / 150k growing (all stages through buck/doe)
You may pick one simple marking/marking location and up to three colors for a semi-custom (the color of the markings and eyes, if specified, count toward the limit).
Keep in mind that a semi-custom leaves room for colorist interpretation. If you have a very specific appearance in mind, you should try for a full custom instead.
Example 1: A dark brownish-gray and black buck with white dapples on his flank.
Example 2: A cream-colored doe with blue eyes and soft ginger accents.
Full Custom
- 200k non-growing adult (includes totem) / 300k growing (all stages through buck/doe)
You have complete control over your guardian's appearance as long as it adheres to the appearance and color rules listed above. You may also pick your totem shape and purchase both premade and custom edits with a full custom (please see edit rates in the third post for more details).
You will receive a preview of your custom before it is finalized to give you an opportunity to make adjustments; more if your custom has edits.
Ordering a custom
This order form should be posted on the colorist's own page in the breedings/customs subforum unless they have a more personalized one listed on their page that they would prefer you to use. Please make sure you read their information first to be certain they're offering the type of custom you want and have slots available.
