Come here with your design to get it approved and uploaded to the group!
If any resources (such as antler shine layers or pearl layers) are used, the resource creator must also be credited in the "Design by" line.
Designs cannot directly contain unnatural shapes such as hearts, logos, etc. They can contain an approximation, but the shape must look like a natural expression of the marking.
No commenting on Imports/Comments unless you are a mod, please!
See the current design submission limit above, or on the front page. There is no limit for submitting to Corrections.
Cosmetic items are the only items which may be applied at the time of design submission. All other items/traits/stats must be applied through The Grand Treasury once the design is accepted.
Obtain a geno or proof of ownership for your Rukaan. See Getting Started.
If you have an import token, you must first exchange it for a geno at the Grand Treasury.
If you have a pre-relaunch geno or import (pre-April 2018), exchange it for a current geno at Ancient Transfers.
Design your Rukaan on the Public Template. Be sure to follow the Design Guide to make sure your design meets the species standards. Double check your Rukaan has the proper build, and antlers! If they came from the Adoption Center, they must have an Adoption Center ear tag.
Upload the design you created as a PNG file at full size to your St.ash and fill out the Import Information Template in the description. Please pay attention and make sure the bolding transfers correctly. All information from the geno must remain the same when you fill out the description.
Make sure that "Free Download" is enabled. You may need to go to "Submit Now" to access and verify this setting. Once finished, click the "x" in the right corner of the submission tab to return the piece to Stash without uploading it.
For genos which will be assigned a linage (non-donated Adoption Center, semi-customs and import token genos), you may specify ONE starter that you do not wish to appear in the linage OR you may specify ONE other Rukaan you do not want them to be related to in the "Special Notes" section of the form. You cannot specify a starter/other Rukaan that shares any Rare or Mythic features with your Rukaan. For example, if your import token geno has mythic Gemstone element, you cannot request that Gemstone starter Eikthyrnir S-001 not appear in the lineage.
Some genes may require you to include some extra information in the Special Notes field to assist the design approval staff. This includes Tint (with the source of the tinted color) and Pearl (which needs a link to a version of the design without the pearl layer).
Comment on the proper area below with the relevant form.
A design admin will look over the design and either approve it or ask for clarification/updates. Follow any instructions they give you in the comment on your stash file.
The group will add the design to our upload queue and it will be uploaded by our official RukaanOfficial import account. When this happens the uploading admin will reply to your design submission comment with a link to your newly official Rukaan so you don't miss it. This may take a few days but don't worry, they'll be here before you know it!
If you post a link to a stash file from Eclipse, it will post as a thumbnail image. However, when that happens the admins can access the image but not any of the information from the template that we need to upload your Rukaan.
We need you to post the design as a link.
This helps us get your designs checked and uploaded faster, and we really appreciate your help with this.
Converting a Thumbnail to a Link (Desktop)
Paste the stash URL, which will appear as a thumbnail.
Choose the rightmost icon in the formatting bar
Choose "Convert to Link"
Your thumbnail will now be a text link that our design admins can use to approve your design.
The special notes section is for anything that you want the design admins to know about your design regarding marking layering, markings that may not be visible, color choice, or anything else that might be considered ambiguous.
You may apply cosmetic items during the initial design submission, if so please specify the items and your bank name in the notes.
If you are posting a semi-custom or adoption center Rukaan, you may specify one starter you do not wish to appear in the lineage (they cannot share a rare or mythic trait with your design).

Question:
This thread is to use a recreation stone to change a Rukaan's design. Recreation stones are given out when a Rukaan is transferred to a new owner, or can be obtained through crafting. A Rukaan will not lose any rune marks they've already earned if their design is changed with a recreation stone.
Name/Personality updates are allowed through this thread but must meet the requirements listed in Import Updates. No other updates are allowed unless they are directly related to the design change.

Special Notes: (Any other information our admins might need to understand and complete your request!)
This thread is to add import-changing cosmetic items such as scars, broken antlers, decorations etc.
Your Rukaan can be drawn freely in art with tack, decorative items, braids, etc without requiring a change to the import. Permanent changes to the Rukaan including scars, broken antlers and missing limbs will require an import change item. Decorative items to add to your Rukaan's import can be applied here but may not obscure the ear tag of Adoption Center Rukaan. Other specifications are listed on the item art.
To have an ear tag removed from an Adoption Center Rukaan, provide proof that your Rukaan has reached Thegn rank.
This thread may also be used to update the background of your Ruk's import sheet. This may be done for free once per Rukaan. After that, the background may be changed with a recreation stone.
For Blessing updates, please indicate in the special notes which diety is bestowing the blessing.
If you are submitting a cosmetic update for armor or tack, have the armor/tack applied first in The Grand Treasury. Once it is applied, post here and specify "on import" for the Proof field.
To remove or change the appearance of a cosmetic item, use a Recreation Stone.
Name/Personality updates are allowed through this thread but must meet the requirements listed in Import Updates. No other updates are allowed unless they are directly related to the design change.

Special Notes:
This area is where you can submit designs for approval that will be sent directly to the adoption center.
You must own the geno being designed (these can include lost Alma calves)
The design must include the adoption center ear tag
You must provide a PSD for the design
The design will be uploaded directly to the adoption center's ownership
Please list the owner as "Rukaan Adoption Center" in the import information
You will be awarded rune marks through this thread as if submitting an uploaded import to the adoption center. This will happen after the design is approved and uploaded but will not occur until adoption center staff have added the import to the adoption center.
Each player may submit one design to this thread per month. This limit is separate from the limit for the main design approval thread and does not count against it.
