So, you want to edit a pre-existing toskal design?

Looking to edit a toskal? No worries! Edits are allowed to be made to pre-existing designs. 
This page is a guideline to help you understand what is and isn't allowed for the different kinds of toskal designs. Photo examples are given for what would be acceptable edits in those categories. All edits still need to follow the toskal MYO guidelines.

Think of each example shown as the most extreme of that example, so you can get an idea of what you could go up to in an edit.
​Designs that are allowed to have each type of edit are noted in the categories below.
​

Types of edits:

FULL REDESIGNS
(Applicable to unbred MYO toskals only.)


The only toskals that can be fully redesigned are MYO toskals that have NOT been bred. The redesign will need to be re-approved in the MYO approval channel in our discord. They don't need to follow the original idea or concept of your MYO but keep in mind, full redesigns still need to follow the toskal MYO guidelines.  

​LARGE EDITS
(APPLICABLE TO gachas ONLY.)

Large edits are allowed only for gachas. Think of large edits as heavy removal or addition of markings, or significant color swaps. These edits are NOT full body color shifts, but rather partial body shifts of major color changes. Think of editing a section to significantly different color. You're also still free to do a medium or minor edit to a gacha instead, if you please! Please keep in mind that large edits are NOT redesigning the toskal, but rather making a major change a core part of the original design.

MEDIUM EDITS
(APPLICABLE TO PUPS AND CUSTOM PUPS, available for gachas.)

Medium edits are edits such as partial color shifts or partial marking edits. Important and prominent markings or colors need to stay close to the original, for example, removing all of the red from a red pup toskal that has a prominently red toskal parent isn't in the realm of medium edits.

MINOR EDITS
(APPLICABLE TO ADOPTS, CUSTOMS, AND MYO TOSKALS, AVAILABLE FOR GACHAS, PUPS AND CUSTOM PUPS.)

​Minor edits are very subtle changes to a design- think changing the horn / mane color, small addition of a marking, or small removal of a marking as your only edit of the design. Slight color shifts are allowed, but they need to stay close to the original color palette. Slight saturations and de-saturations are also allowed.​

Unsure about an edit or have a question?

Feel free to ask in the questions channel if you're feeling uncertain about an edit or if you have any questions about edits at all. You're also welcome to contact one of the official artists (Felix, Valkyr, or Madi) with your questions if you would rather send a direct message.
