'''The following factors are taken into account with this updated system:Fullbodies'''* Number of Mothcats drawn ::* "Style" are roughly any art that incorporates around 70% of the artwork * Rough sketches will receive less than crisp, shaded drawings * "Scale" of character or more.

=== Crafts and Other Physical Items ===
The amount of FT awarded for crafts and other physical items varies, depending on the size and detail of the submission. By default, all crafts earn at least 3-5 FT. Feel free to contact an admin if you believe you should receive more for a craft piece, as we do not have experience with every type of media and the effort it takes.
Rewards are halved for using another artist's base relative to what they would normally receive (eg., a colored fullbody base would receive 3 FT instead of 6 FT). This '''includes official Mothcats bases'''.
=== Miscellaneous Rewards ===Mothcats encourages interactions between members. Commissioning, art trading, and collaborating with others to draw/write/craft Mothcats earns the following: {| class="wikitable"!Category!From You to Others!From Others to You|-!Commissions| rowspan="3" |As outlined above.|Half of the artist's rewards.|-!Trades|0|-!Gifts|0|-!Collabs| colspan="2" |As outlined above, split evenly between the collaborators.|}== Flower Token Commissions ==Users '''may'''Flower Token rates commission others using flower tokens via the Trading Post but should keep the following in mind. * Members may receive flower tokens as a form of payment for writing:commissions but will '''not''' receive flower token rewards in addition to the commission payment.* 0Please tag any commissions paid with flower tokens as [FT-500 Words: 1-5 CFT C] or something similar that clearly indicates it is a Flower Token commission.* 500-1000+ Words: 5+ CFTUsers who commissioned the art will not receive any flower tokens.
