If your horse has a numeric ID (example '450') with NO LETTER (example B-450) then it is already registered.
Registration is a simple and pain-free process if you know what to do!
But first lets answer some questions.
Q: What if my EB is already registered in the old group?
A: From this point on, all Ballators must be registered in this group. The old group will be shutting down soon, thus registrations do not count there.
Q: WHY do I need to register?
A: If your Ballator is not registered, you can draw it, but you cannot breed it, show it, or participate in group-specific events, such as competitions and Regale's Quests.
Q: I've got a foal design; do I have to register that?
A: Yes. Once the foal design is re-accepted, the Ballator now officially exists and you may create it's adult reference. Do not create the adult reference until the foal design has been re-accepted.
Q: Can I use the reference my horse had in the old group as the registration image for this group?
A: Yes! Reference sheets from the old group will still be valid; you may be asked to fix the design or info in the description, however.
Q: Why are you having some people fix their designs?
A: Some EB's, especially older ones, are genetically incorrect or have traits that they should not have according to their genes. We're trying to make every ballator genetically and physically correct.
How to Register EB's into this New Group
If your horse already has a numeric ID number with no letters (B,F,D,E,ST,N, etc) then it is already registered.
Your first step is to join the group by hitting the button on our front page!
Then...
If it is a foal design from the old group, with no ref, DO NOT make the new reference yet.
- Check to make sure that you have all the necessary components in your reference sheet (listed in the next section)
- NOTE THE GROUP with a note titled 'Registration.' If your horse is from the old group, make sure your horse's old ID numbers are in the note with the hyperlinks or links to their references. If they are not hyperlinked, we will not be able to register them and tell you that you need to link them.
- Your horse(s) will be given an ID number. You must put the new ID in the title of the deviation (If your horse is from the old group, list the old ID somewhere on the reference, just in case). You may also be asked to fix major design flaws. This is to be sure that all horses are genetically correct. If you have to fix a design flaw, comment back to us in the note with the fixed design.
- The Registration note must be listed in the new reference.
- Once you fix the ID and/or design flaws and have all the info you need in the reference, you will be accepted.
What to Include in Your Reference
- Make sure the markings are easily seen, if possible. Side-views are most desirable, but any pose is fine!
- Headshot references are accepted as well.
- Tracing, copying other art and using premade linearts that are not your own are prohibited.
- ID numbers must go in the title. Like this: ID | Horse Name OR ID Horse Name
- ID, Registration note, Name, Sex, Type, Slots, Genotype, Bloodline, Offspring and accepted Foal/Import design MUST be in the description. A good format for this is below.
- Check to make sure that you have all the necessary components in your reference sheet (listed in the next section)
- Submit your reference to the 'References' folder.
- You may be asked to fix major design flaws. This is to be sure that all horses are genetically correct. If you have to fix a design flaw, we will decline the submission. Once it is fixed, re-submit.
- Once you fix the issues, your reference will be accepted.
Below are a few forms you can use to copy-paste and fill in for your references.
These are not the only way to do these, but they are the suggested way.
(NOTE: the ID, registration note, name, genotype, sex, phenotype, type, bloodline, offspring, and slots as well as a link to the accepted foal/import design are REQUIRED)
