Design Guides: Ground Rules


Below, you will find all the guides you will need to design your ketucari. However, there are a few basic ground rules you should be aware of that will apply to every design.

•  Do not try to abuse marking ranges to create a pseudo-version of colors/markings your ketucari does not have.

•  The base coat should always be immediately recognizable, as should markings. The only exception is if the ketucari has piebald or melanistic pastel covering their markings.
 
• Lineart should always be darker than what's under it. The only exception is if the Lineart Itself is being used to represent Filigree.

• Admins reserve the right to clarify the design guides at any time, especially if there is a pending design that makes us aware of loopholes or badly worded guidelines.

• As a result of guide updates, ketucari with ID numbers below 1540 may not apply as accurate examples for gene expression.

Markings with pass rates of 45% or greater are common, between 20% and 40% inclusive uncommon, and 19% or less rare. More information here.
