Design GUIDE

So we have to download the Tropical Kiseilian Template - Female (if you have a male then download Tropical Kiseilian Template - Male).

All good now! We have our template, now open it with Paint Tool SAI,or Photoshop, or Gimp or whatever program you use and let's get started!

I suggest you to download the color sliders for a better resolution and more accuracy for colorpicking!

We have our pearl Hauyne slider here, and filled the template. 

Tip: You can also go lighter or darker than the slider you have but remember to do not make the color too saturated or too far away from the slider!

Now we have to start to draw markings, take a look at Genes and Mutations to check what markings your Kise has and what rules you must follow when designing it!

We will start with collar, which can be darker or lighter than the base coat (meaning it can be a darker or ligher blue, you cannot change the hue!) or of any allowed color (meaning that we can use  jasper, heliodor, malachite and sugilite sliders for picking colors!)

Remember to do not make markings too saturated!

Stay out of that area.

Roughly you can use colors that are less or equal to 150 in saturation, between 160 and 180 is a really borderline range and depending on the nature of your marking it may be rejected or not.

Lets make it simple and use a dark blue.

Tip: In our guide we have full size marking extentions images, this means that you can download them and overlay them on your design to check if you did go out of the allowed range. This will make approval easier for both of us! 

Let's see.

I downloaded my collar extention file, and pasted it in my import file, then I turned down the opacity enough to see  both allowed areas and my design. 

(I know the collar it's dominant, but I can fill only the recessive area if I want)

And filled! Now let's do the same with Groin.

Now let's put Gradient on Collar; we can put it on groin too but I'd rather use Collar to show it.

There, since I can use malachite I did put a mint green tone as gradient. 

Ah! Remember to do the same with markings on the back side of your Kise too!

Your design is almost done! Now the nice extra parts.

Minimal white and black are your best friends when it comes to really flat designs, or when you want to add a touch of originality on your beb.

Remember while white can be used pure, black must never be pure! Lineart must be always visible! 

If you want we also have other types of free markings, as well as minimal white and black.

Here we go. 

White allows for small pink tones on it, never forget to check ranges with min white/black too!

Remember to save always in fullsize (3500x2030) , do not resize the template!

Colored lineart

This will give your design a nicer appeareance! There are many methods to do this, I'll will just show one.

And you are done here, if you  want to color lines in another way  you can do this extra thing.

If you are lazy to do this everytime, I made up a psd with already deleted inner lines plus eye accent, you can download it and use it for your designs!

Premade lineart extra

If you want, there is another touch up:  the Halo.

On Photoshop

Open the psd, select the basecolor layer, duplicate it, fill it with black (or any other color) and then go to Filter > Blur and blur it, then move the black blurred shape at the bottom of all your layers

On SAI

Same thing, duplicate the base, fill it with black (or another color), and blur it and drag it to the bottom of all your layers (only SAI2 has the blur option).

It's all for now, If you have questions just ask, we hope this helped!
