Makeovers and Do-Overs are two different ways you can update your uploaded Tokota's appearance.
Makeovers allow for smaller changes to the details of the design, while keeping the same overall appearance of the Tokota. Do-Overs are a complete redesign of the Tokota, and do not need to keep any of the original appearance.

Makeover and Do-Over Tokens may be purchased in the Trading Post. Apply your Makeover or Do-Over Token in the Import Updates thread in Design Central, which can be found in the Cycling Journal Hub.

Makeovers


Makeovers must keep the overall appearance of the Tokota very similar to the original design.
Base coat, marking placement, and colors must all be generally the same. The Tokota's design may be cleaned up or recreated, and the eye and flesh colors may be changed.

Makeovers also optionally allow for any illegal base coats or markings to be changed to fit current design standards, even if it means the Tokota will look noticeably different. However, you are not required any changes to illegal base coats or markings. They may remain illegal if you choose to keep them in the design.

Makeover Tokens allow the following edits, so long as the design is essentially the same as the original:
  • Background changes (within free backgrounds, or with application of Sikrinerk or Borga Stone)
  • Very small design edits, as long as the Tokota is still recognizably the same for HP purposes; this includes cleaning up marking edges
  • Addition of slight gradients and nuance
  • Repainting of the eyes and flesh
  • Repainting of items, scars, hand paints, etc. so long as they are essentially the same
  • Removal of items, scars, hand paints, etc. (always free to do)
  • Colored lines
  • Removal or addition of import logos (always free to do)
  • Moving Tokotas from old submissive pose to head raised pose (submissive background still required)
  • Lowering the tail of a dominant or alpha Tokota (requires the addition of a Dom Symbol)


Makeover Tokens also allow the following edits that change the overall appearance of the design:
  • Allows any incorrect markings to be redone so that they are correct by the current DC standards
  • Allows an illegal base coat color to be changed to an acceptable base coat color; markings may also change hue to match the new base coat
  • Changing the color of eyes and flesh


You may add items, scars, handpaints, etc. at the same time as a Makeover Token. If they are visually the same as the current items, you will not be charged again. If they are too different, or are additional items not included in the design previously, you will be charged for them.



Do-Overs


Do-Overs allow for a complete redesign of a Tokota according to the current DC standards. 

Things that may not be kept from the original design if using a Do-Over:
  • Illegal base coats
  • Illegal marking expressions

Decor items may be kept from the original design without repurchasing. These include:
  • Items, scars, handpaints, etc. so long as they are essentially the same as on the original design
  • Sikrinerk and Borga Stone backgrounds
You may add different or additional decor items at the time of Do-Over Token, but these must be purchased.

Beware:


  • All HP since the last official HP confirmation at average, dominant, alpha, or confirmation of extra breeding slots, will be void. For example, if your Tokota is only 40HP away from reaching Alpha, the 260HP after the dominance confirmation would be void if you applied a Do-Over Token to your Tokota. This is to ensure that we can always properly identify your Tokota's design in the HP that you do for it.
  • You will not be able to simply update the old HP with the new design to have it count again, as that would constitute re-using art.





Using Old Lines


In order to use old official import lines (including the old dire lines and old long mane lines), you must use a Makeover Token. This applies to uploaded Tokotas (apply Makeover Token via Import Updates thread in DC) and designed genos (apply old lines using Makeover Token via Soul Pool thread in DC). If you are applying old lines to an uploaded Tokota and also completely redoing its design, the Do-Over token required to change the Tokota's design covers the cost to use the old lines (no additional Makeover Token needed).

Old official lines are stored in the import directory.
