Pouflons have a few easy-to-follow design guidelines for designing a new pouflon, as well as for changing an existing design.

#1. Pouflon designs should be original content- they cannot contain copyrighted design material ie. logos, or very strongly reference a copyrighted character design (you can have looser appearances/references, however) They can intentionally resemble an existing design you own, however. Please read the Ownership Rules for more information.

The Basics

There are no restrictions on colors or markings you can use, but there are some simple required design elements:

• Your pouflon's horns and eyes should be the same color- this is their runic color. You can pick any color! The same color can be present anywhere else on the body.
• Your pouflon must have visible cheek and knee spots, which can be any color. Common spots are oval/circular, shaped spots are uncommon.

Traits

MYO slots come with any common traits of your choice. You can only add uncommon and higher traits if you have trait items in your inventory (you can get these from the exchange shop!)
When you submit your design, list which trait items you are using from your inventory.
View the traits guide here.

Body Type

Your pouflon can be any of the three body types, and since these aren't considered traits, you can change its body type at any time without needing approval. Read more about body types in Anatomy.

Submitting + Other info

Submit your design for approval at Design Approvals. If there is an issue with your design a mod will let you know what to change. The image you submit should follow the masterlist art requirements....

• A clear-background PNG with just the design and no text (not a refsheet, no extra drawings, etc)
• Does not have to have been drawn or designed by you.
• Shouldn't have accessories on it. (prosthetic limbs count as part of the pouflon's body, and not accessories)

If you are unsure of your design, you can submit your design at design approvals just for checking by a mod, before you submit it officially.

Accessories: All nonmagical accessories are free, and you can design accessories or outfits for your pouf of any kind.
Props: Your pouflon can have as many props as you like, such as a bag, book, etc, as long as they're nonmagical objects.
Head Hair is allowed and can be any style or length. You can change your pouflon's hairstyle at any time.
Your pouflon cannot canonically be Royalty (unless they posess a torboullion trait) but they can be of high aristocracy.

Wings: You are not required to design your pouflon's wings, your pouflon keep them withdrawn and therefore not visible. They must always have at least their wing tufts! If you later want to design their wings, or acquire a pouflon that hasn't had their wings designed yet, any markings are fine.

Design Changes

Small design edits are allowed to be made to pouflons without needing approval or an item. These include slight color shifts, like a white to an off-white, removing freckles etc. For any other kinds of changes, please refer to the Exchange shop. There are many potions there that allow you to change your pouflon's design. Traits cannot be changed without permission or an item from the shop.

Design edits to original artwork are not allowed without permission from the artist, this goes for officially-made pouflon designs especially.
