this is more of a general thing and not meant to point fingers at anyone in any way, but to me it feels like the whole system is a bit nitpicky. i used to love designing, but now the process of submitting a design just feels overwhelming because half the time theres an alteration that can take up to 2 weeks or more to be processed and then decided if its passable, so a lot of my designs just stay hoarded on my pc and never uploaded.
i understand that there's a standard and i'm a-ok with that! just sometimes it feels like some designs have an easier time passing through than others and thats a big breeding turn off for me. i think a bit more clarity on specifically things like white markings, horn placements, and optionally hidden genes(grey, white markings, ect) would be amazing and save a lot of confusion!
additionally, and this is more of just a personal thing on my end, but i tend to draw my horses a lot bulkier, not just in build, but in regards to their fangs and horns too, because i just like that look for my kiddos. i personally havent experienced this, but a friend of mine in the group was told when submitting a design that the horns couldnt be the same size as the larger parents'. if thats a standard the group is going to go by then i think it should be added to one of the design sheets and/or have an announcement made as thats not something i've ever been aware of being a standard. most of my bred ballators have hornsets the same size as their parents, sometimes larger and i know i'm not the only one who does this. ;v; some clarity on that would be beneficial as well i think.
