More in depth information
You can safely skip reading this post, but if you want a little more info, this is where to find it.
Further explanation on books
The books are recoloured to fit your dragon as well as possible. All book designs have three colours, but that doesn't mean those colours will necessarily match the dragon's primary/secondary/tertiary colour. A triple obsidian dragon with a blue accent and purple clothing will probably get a black/blue/purple book, not a plain black one.
Some dragons have more than three prominent colours (especially ones with genes like Poison, Butterfly or Skink!) We will do our best to make the book resemble the dragon, but we may have to leave some colours out.
Artists may use colours from a dragon's apparel or accent in the book. If you don't want that, be sure to let us know!
If you have very specific ideas about which colours you want to be represented on the book, feel free to mention so in your post! Preferably directly above your dragon image or at the top of your post.
It is possible to base several books on one dragon, or base the books on something else entirely. Different artists may have different things they're comfortable doing, but in general we're a flexible bunch. Just ask!
Further explanation on recoloured bookends
Some of the bookends are now available for recolouring, much like the books are. Not every bookend is available for this, and some of the bookends can only be recoloured a certain way. None of the bookends necessarily have a "primary/secondary/tertiary" placement scheme, so if you'd like colours placed in a specific place please let your artist know!
In the above image I tried to recolour the different sections with contrasting shades of grey to hopefully illustrate the difference between Style A and Style B, and to show what exactly is getting recoloured. In all versions of Style A, there are shadow and highlight layers for each of the three sections. In all versions of Style B and the bookends that only have the one style, the shadows and highlights are themselves recoloured.
If you'd like an available bookend to be recoloured in a way that isn't shown in the examples, be sure to ask your artist about it! They may be able to help you, but it may cost a little extra.
Further explanation on book shelves
