🌺 This page is still a work in progress and may update its assets in the future.

🌺 Redesigns refer to changing the design of a Planet Xaoc character that you own. The general rule is that it must be recognizeable to the original/legacy version.

🌺 You can freely change traits (including the body part it is designated to), but keeping the amount of rarities above common (rare, myth, sacred, and anomaly) is a must.

🌺 For more information, please thoroughly read the guidelines below:

🌺 Marking changes similar to the design theme.

🌺 Hue shifting with identical markings.

🌺 Mild color changes and additional markings while keeping the design theme.

🌺 Simplification.

🌺 More than half of the design is changed.

🌺 Design theme is changed.

🌺 Excessive color changes, nearly unrecognizeable.

🌺 To get started, go to your character's masterlist entry and click UPDATE DESIGN. Afterwards, click on CREATE REQUEST to generate a design draft. You will then be presented by the following tabs to fill out:

• COMMENTS - Please include the TRAITS and RARITIES you have changed! For example: (Common) Regular Furvest --> (Common) Ribbon Furvest. You may also add extra information you want staff to know. Click the SAVE button once you are done.

• MASTERLIST IMAGE - Here you will upload your new redesign image and use the cropper tool. You will then be asked to fill out credits. Use the DESIGNER box if they have an account-onsite. Use the DESIGNER URL box if they are not on-site. Filling out the ART TYPE boxes is optional, best for collaborative works.
  

• ADD-ONS - Here you will include items you have used in your inventory. If there is none, don't select anything and simply click the SAVE button.
  

• TRAITS - List here the FINALIZED TRAITS you intend to use. Do not fill out the Extra Info form unless the trait requires it (such as specifications for Elementals or Collide).

🌺 For the CHARACTER RARITY dropdown, simply choose the highest rarity trait that your character design has.

🌺 For the TRANSFORMATION dropdown, please select FULL FORM if the power form is included. Please select BASE FORM if it is only the base form (this also applies for designs with the Collide: Morphing trait if there is no power form). Do not use LEGACY.

🌺 Once all the red X mark are now green O marks, you may go back to the STATUS menu and click on SUBMIT REQUEST.

🌺 Please be open to corrections. Remember that requests may be denied and returned back to you if they do not pass (it will have staff comments to help you out). It should take about a week maximum for an admin to process requests.

🌺 If you plan on editing a masterlist image that you did not draw yourself, please always ask for permission from the artist first!

🌺 You are welcome to request an admin to cancel your submitted and unprocessed redesign requests anytime. Simply contact us on our on-site helpdesk or the staff account @PlanetXaoc on discord and provide the request number. We will hand you back the draft.

🌺 Please keep in mind that your art and designs should not disrespect nor harm pre-existing characters, property, copyrighted media, cultures, and persons. Strictly no real life person referencing, bigoted, military/cop propaganda, or hateful basis for designs.

🌺 You are allowed to use characters that you have designed AND own yourself as a mild inspiration, but please make sure they are not too similar to the point of being mistaken as a duplicate! We do not allow heavy referencing on Planet Xaoc.

🌺 You are allowed to commission an artist to do a redesign for you, as long as they follow the design guidelines and are open to potential corrections along the way. Official artistic contributors on Planet Xaoc may also offer designing services found under the contact tab.
