are you allowed to make hm customs out of artist entries that got the artist hired so it would technically be done by a staff member?

The answer would still be no; artist entries cannot be used for HM customs, regardless if the one who made it was hired as a full artist. HM customs must be completely new designs created by an artist.

Sorry to continue this discussion, but that does mean that the artist can't copy the design, right?

Pardon me for saying, but it does seem a bit odd that HM customs are only semi-customs...
After all, HMs are earned through hard work in competitions and take quite a while to add up until you can actually put them towards a kalon, whereas MYOs are pretty much just purchased and not necessarily as deserved through hard work. Not everyone can afford to buy MYOs, and there is already such exact rules to the number of edits you can have for an HM custom anyways. Not only that, but there are not always official artists available to make the HM customs, and as someone mentioned before, they often want to get paid for spending time on something that is not within their technically required duties. That means that not only do we have to work really hard for honorable mentions to put toward a custom, but then we have to pay someone on top of it. Then we have to wait until whenever someone has the time to complete it.

To me it just seems to be creating a ton of extra unecessary work for both artists and those who want to have HM customs made? It would be a lot less work for everyone if we were allowed to make our own HM customs and then get them approved...

I don't mean to sound rude or anything, I'm just pointing out some things that I think could easily be resolved with a simple solution. I understand if you don't change anything about it though, have a wonderful day everyone! c:

I completely agree with you 2000000000%

Sorry, could you clarify what you mean?
Artists are allowed to use their entries as actual adopts if they decide to.

If I'm on breeding cooldown can I still post a form for a friend?

For HM customs, staff has before discussed implementing a new system but currently please follow all rules set in place as it stands. Any concerns please take to staff directly via PM instead of discussing on this thread. Thank you <3

Alrighty! Sorry, I didn't mean to spam up the main topic or anything. ^^'
Thank you for the kind and fast response, I highly appreciate it.

if you've already been a guest artist (at minti's ownership) could you try out again?

is there a wait limit time on adopting kalons? for example can you win a kalon one day and another the next? if there isnt i think a 3 or 4 day limit should be placed.

There is no wait limit between adopting kalons! Thank you for the suggestion but so far staff have no qualms with not having a limit! Maybe in the future if we decide its needed though!

Hello! Just wanted to ask: are you allowed to mention/develop/post about uncreated kalons as long as you don't design them? Like, if I wanted to create parents for my kalons, would I have to use an existing kalon/custom? I'm guessing it's the latter, but I'm asking just in case. :)
