Mothcat Redesigns
Having second thoughts about the hot pink eyeshadow markings you added to your MYO? We’d like you to be happy with your Mothcat; owners have the ability to change their design in both small and larger ways when it’s time for a new look. Simple design updates can be made without admin approval (see “Minor Design Changes” below). However, larger changes, for example, major color edits or trait changes, require admin approval through Ayana’s Beauty Salon (or a note to the group for trait changes). These changes can be made with items such as dyes, purchasable using in-game currency.
Those looking to make multiple, sweeping changes to a Mothcat’s design can utilize the Salon Service at Ayana’s Beauty Salon. Here, you can commission an Official Artist to redesign your Mothcat, giving them snazzy new official art for their Mothchive entry in the process! One common theme underlies all Mothcat redesigns, however, whether a self-service dye or salon makeover: the redesign must be recognizable from the original design, and maintain the theme of the adoptable, if applicable.
In the past, new markings could only be added using the Official Artist Salon Service. We are in the process of making ARPG items that will allow marking add-ons to your Mothcat (again, as long as they stay within the Mothcat’s theme). In addition, future ARPG items will allow owners to change the color of their Mothcat’s eyes, another feature that has previously been reserved for the Salon Service.
Minor Design Changes
Minor design changes can be made without going through a formal process. The general guidelines for minor design changes are:
- Small markings can be added or removed
- Present markings can be expanded slightly
- Shapes of present markings can be changed
- Minor hue shifts are allowed (within analogous color range)
- Overall design must be recognizable compared to the original design
