 *3.7a A design made for an adopt as an official GA [Guest Artist], Admin, or any official sale that is hosted in the #Official-sales-and-auctions channel in the discord and/or posted into the 'Adoptables' Folder in any of the DeviantArt.com Groups must be an original design created by the artist. The artist may not take old designs that they bought from someone else and then draw the character as a ChS species design to then sell as an official GA or Admin design even if credit is given to the original designer. All adoptables must be created by the artist for the purpose of being a ChS adopt/character, unless it was a design prior made by the artist that they simply wish to repurpose into a ChS adopt/ character sale.

 **Original design:** The design that was first ever created for the shirefolk.
-Example: If there are 3 total designs for a Shirefolk, the very first design that was ever created for this Shirefolk is what all future redesigns need to be based off of.
 **Redesigns will need to be submitted to the site with the following things in mind:**
+-Any and all redesigns must stay with that particular Shirefolk even if not being used. Any attempts to circumvent this will be considered cheating.
-*The redesign must be recognizable from the original design. If the redesign looks like an entirely new design, it will be denied.
+-A redesign may not be removed from one Shirefolk and then put on another.
+-A log of all designs that were made and approved for a Shirefolk are being kept for logging purposes and will at some point in the future be added to the Shirefolk's ML page.
-*This will mean that at times staff may ask that certain traits are returned to the design if there are massive color and marking changes or in the case of massive trait changes that the user may be asked to keep all the colors and markings mostly the same.
+-Redesigns DO NOT have to be based off of the original and designs can be scrapped entirely and made anew as the player desires.
+-The Original design will always be listed on the Shirefolk's ML page under the 'Original' Tab for record keeping purposes.
+-If the Shirefolk has multiple forms unlocked, these forms will need to be approved individually and added onto the ML once this feature is available. At this time this feature is not yet ready but we will update when it is.
-*The silhouette of the design may be used as a point of reference for staff to better distinguish if the design is close enough to the original. With trait packs and trait swapping being allowed it is best to keep in mind that if large trait changes are made, then markings will likely need to stay the same for the purpose of design recognition.
-**Exemptions to the rule of needing to be recognizable from the original design:**
-*The only exemptions are if the user has earned, won, or obtained trait items or trait potions and is now applying those to the design. Once these new traits are applied via potion or trait item, those traits are now considered to be part of the design's silhouette.
-*In the case of traits being added to a redesign and not the original design, it is then grandfathered in that any newly earned or applied traits via potions or trait items would exist in the same way on the ‘original design’ should the design ever be ported back to the original.
