These rules encompass all standard customs unless otherwise notified. Some events and artist threads may have different rules, which will be noted within their respective threads.

• There is no set standard rule for how artists make their thread. Read everything before posting, as there will be differences between each artist.
• Send payment upon confirmation of a win. Artists will not begin work until paid. The shop operates on a pay-what-you-want system, focusing on Basilisk Stew credits.
• Keep up on custom forms. It is not up to artists to delete repeat forms in their thread if the custom is taken in a different custom thread or event. Check if an artist prefers deleted posts, or posts stricken out.
• Pet trades (where an artist from Ponporri makes a semi-custom/custom in exchange for a semi-custom/custom from another shop) are only permitted between Ponporri and their sibling shops.
• Players can request unedited or edited porri/dreambeans. Characters created using only templates is considered unedited, while those with unique-to-them templates are considered edited.
• Players cannot use Pinterest as inspiration, unless it's to post a color-only palette without any other imagery.
• Different stage/lineset templates cannot mix together (for example, a horn set on a kit cannot be used on an adult, dreambean templates cannot be used on a pon, etc).
• Cosplays are not limited to one per shop. There can be repeats of cosplays.
• Gain permission before using anyone’s characters as a reference. This must be either linked to, or shown as a screenshot. Moderators may reach out to confirm validity of screenshots.
• AI art cannot be used as inspiration, nor can adoptables/commissions not owned by the player posting. Repeatedly posting AI images can result in artists choosing to no longer take on that players customs.
• Conversions of adoptables owned by the player must have proof of ownership shown, either as a link to a cert/location where their username is present, or screenshot. Moderators may reach out to confirm validity of screenshots.

Below is a list of standard custom slots one can expect to see. Some colorists might choose to run a method different than usual.

Some artists may have their own additional types of customs, which will be listed within their artist thread.

Blindbox: Players who just want something! Posting for a blindbox indicates they’re willing to receive anything. ​

​

Semi-Custom: A custom based on a series of colors, an image, music, or other creative medias. Usually, players can request a stage they’d like, but it depends on the artist. Pinterest cannot be used, aside from color-only palettes with no imagery attached.​

​

Full Custom: The design is fully thought of by the player and written down to articulate exactly what they want. Typically, this also means they’ll receive WIPs of the project.​

Customs paid for by real-life currency are called RLC Customs. They have a few rules of their own, some additional and others replacing previous rules.

• Some artists are allowed to take RLC and can launch sales on the Discord and/or have slots open within their artist thread.
• Paypal is the accepted method of payment, as invoices will be sent for purchases.
• Send payment upon confirmation of a win. Artists will not begin work until paid.
• Pricing is up to the individual artist.
• Do not bribe artists. Utilize their artist thread (if they host RLC sales here), or within their Discord sales. Attempts to privately bribe an artist will result in a blacklisting with no exception.
