New: Hatchling skins have additional rules that should be followed when creating skins for baby dragons:
Designs should not adultify the hatchling. This rule is specific to skin and accent visual depictions and design names/titles as skins and accents are official site items once approved.
This rule includes but is not limited to: thigh-high stockings, harnesses, garters, excessively short skirts/shorts, undergarments, depictions of historically fetishized clothing, depictions that communicate or imply inappropriate age-related tropes, design names or titles that when combined with the design communicate inappropriate age-related tropes, or otherwise try to communicate or imply the imaged hatchling is a sexually mature dragon.
If a design and/or title/name is determined to be depicting fetish or otherwise inappropriate art, using claims such as "fashion" in appeal will not be accepted as a way to bypass this rule.
Please note: Limiting what clothing can be depicted on hatchlings is not intended as an implication that some clothing is "inherently sexual" in nature or to validate any form of victim-blaming. When it comes to the site-approved depiction of minors, we must apply broader rules to combat those acting in bad faith or otherwise seeking to inflict harm.
Designs should not place the implication of violent wounds on the hatchling. The same rules regarding wounds as adult dragons are applied with the following additions: No exposed bones and no gore outside the limits of official Flight Rising genes and eye types.
In addition, scars on hatchlings will be scrutinized to a greater degree than those on adult dragons for implied violence and/or abuse.
Please note: Prosthetics, mobility aids, and disability aids do not violate this rule.
Designs should not zombify the hatchling.
Designs and their titles/names should adhere to these rules without additional context. "Skinned Hatchling" and similar may be okay as social media or forum-based meta jokes, they're not okay as actual design names or titles.
These rules and guidelines are subject to change based on the content submitted to the Skin and Accent moderation team for approval.
Old: Designs should not adultify the hatchling. -This includes but is not limited to thigh-high stockings, Lolita-inspired apparel, and content that otherwise communicates visually or through the title/name that the hatchling is an adult in a child's body, etc.
Designs should not place wounds on the hatchling. -You can have a battle baby dragon, but not a wounded or scarred battle baby dragon.
Designs should not zombify the hatchling. -You can have a zombie hunter baby dragon, but not a zombie baby dragon.
Designs and their titles/names should be able to pass muster out of context. -These rules and guidelines are subject to change based on the content submitted to the Skin and Accent moderation team for approval.
