This thread is now closed. All functions of the retired colorists recert thread have been moved to the General Certing Thread and requests should be posted there.
Thank you!

Rules
Please make sure to read everything before posting! Different certists have different methods, so it's important to check out the front page of each cert thread before making a request. It's heavily preferred that users use links provided by the shop, rather than links from personal accounts. However, it is not required. If a pet has alternate uncerts, such as a version without accessories, or a basket and foal stage, it is the responsibility of the user to provide their uncerts. (This does not apply to growing pets that are certed for the first time; certists will automatically take care of their growths.) Cert requests made here may update images using the same URL, depending on the certist. If a recert is requested, the original cert may be deleted. To be sure you don't lose anything, please save any certs before requesting an update. Users may include any number of forms per post. If a user posts numerous requests at once, we may choose to drop them off in smaller batches. If we need to contact you for clarification with your form, we will do so by quoting you in the post you've made. If you've opted out of quote notifications, you can re-check the thread if you've noticed requests made after yours have been certed and dropped already. If you have any questions, please feel free to quote me in the main thread or PM me.
Am I in the Right Place?
This thread takes care of cert requests for colorists who are no longer with the shop. Active colorists have their own certing threads or trading posts, and cert requests should be posted there. For a full list, you may check the directory located in the General Certing Thread. If a colorist is not listed, then requests for any pets colored by them should come here. In addition, this thread takes care of any outstanding requests by active colorists that are not covered by the General Certing Thread. If you have an outstanding request from a thread beside the General Certing Thread that has not been taken care of for at least three months, please follow the steps below:
Contact the certist (most likely the colorist will be in charge of their own certing), requesting permission to have the cert taken care of elsewhere. If they decline, please respect that. If they agree, or do not reply to you within a week, you may post the request in the Retired Colorists Recert Thread. When you post in that thread, please include the modifier below.

Updates
02/01/16: New general cert request thread is open! The old one will remain up while we take care of outstanding requests, but please use this thread from this point forward. Thank you! 05/05/16: Clarified procedure to follow if a certist appears to be inactive. Steps can be found in the spoiler within the second post. (As of the 8/11/16 update, instructions have been moved to this post.) 08/10/16: Title changed from the "General Cert Request Thread" to the "Retired Colorists Recert Thread" to more accurately reflect the thread's purpose. 08/11/16: The directory has been moved to the new General Certing Thread. Forms have been updated to maintain uniformity between the two threads. 06/01/17: This thread's functions has been merged with the General Certing Thread. From now on, please post all requests there.

Cert Request Forms
Recerts This form is intended for both soquili and familiars that already have an existing cert, but need to be recerted to reflect updated information. (Note that this does not cover naming a soquili that started with a basket stage. For that, please use the "Basket Popping Ceremony" form. In addition, this does not cover updating pregnancy certs. For that, please visit our Baby Bump thread.) If you want us to recreate the same background, please indicate such and we'll try our best. If you feel you will ever need the original cert again for any reason, please be sure to save the image before posting the form. Once the recert is uploaded, the original cert may be deleted.
Information that can be updated include: Username Change of username. If you change your username, make sure to get your teepee updated as well! Co-Owner Addition or removal of co-owner. There can only be a max of two co-owners at one time; however, pets won via auction may have a max of three if all owners had bid together. Co-owner agreements and cancellations must be detailed and agreed to in the Co-Ownership Agreements Thread. Transfer A transfer of ownership to a completely new individual. A pet's name and temper may be changed with a transfer, while sex and stats are kept. This does not include cancelling a co-ownership agreement as it only gives ownership to an existing owner but does not give all rights to a separate person entirely. Correction A catch-all option for any cert updates that need to be made that doesn't fall into the above categories. Agreement All updates that include agreements (including co-ownerships, transfers, and lifemate changes) must provide the agreement link at the time of the request. Users may not claim they will make one in the future.

Soquili (Non-Breeding) This form is used to cert soquili for the first time. Soquili that were obtained via breedings have separate forms below.
Image Please post the full image. Do not use thumbnails, URLs, or spoilers. Alternate Images If your pet has multiple variations that you'd like certed, please provide their uncerts here to guarantee that they will be certed. Variants include such options as itemless uncerts and feral stages. Any uncert that cannot be RP'd (for instance, an uncert where the front wings are cut off to show the markings, or an unpelted stage for a purewalker) will not be certed.
Name Name of the pet. A pet cannot be renamed unless it is rehomed (breaking co-ownership and giving a single user full ownership is not considered rehoming). If the soquili has a custom companion, their name cannot be added to the cert unless the companion has existing familiar art. For instance, this cert lists just the soquili's name, but this cert can include the companion's name, because she exists as a familiar. Owner Username you'd like displayed on the cert. If the soquili is co-owned, please provide the names of all parties and a link to the co-ownership agreement. You must provide the agreement at the time of the request; users may not claim they will make one in the future. Date Received The date you received the pet. (This is not necessarily the date you won.) If you're unsure, please provide as much information as you know (general time frame pet was won, type of event it was won in, etc.) and we'll try to find it for you. If we cannot, we'll simply go by the date you posted the request. Temper Temper of the pet. This is optional; however, if you choose to omit it, you cannot add one later. A pet cannot be given a new temper unless it is rehomed (breaking co-ownership and giving a single user full ownership is not considered rehoming). Method of Obtainment Please specify how you obtained the pet (from an event, an in-thread game, etc.) and provide a URL. If you're unsure, please provide as much information as you know (general time frame pet was won, type of event it was won in, etc.) and we'll try to find it for you. Colorist Colorist of the pet. If you're unsure, please provide as much information as you know (general time frame pet was won, type of event it was won in, etc.) and we'll try to find it for you.
Element; only for pure or mixed Ulun'suti. The soquili must canonically have 50-100% 'suti blood. Ulun'suti pures and mixes are allowed elemental abilities based on their bloodline. A pure Ulun'suti is one with cloven hooves, back scales, a single set of draconic wings, and a serpentine tail. To find out more about their powers, see the Soquili Breed Rules & Abilities thread. Elements are generally pre-chosen during the design process, and owners may not request a specific element unless the colorist gives permission (excluding customs, of course). If you have permission, giving them these powers is not required; thus, adding an element for a 'suti is optional. A pet cannot later change its element, even if it has been rehomed. Domain; only for pure angeni, or uni-angeni if the individual has two sets of wings. Some Angeni are given a domain and powers over it. Angeni information may be found in the Soquili Breed Rules & Abilities thread. More details regarding domains may be found in the Custom Information thread, beneath the "Restrictions" section (alternatively, just Ctrl + F "domain"). Not all Angeni are given domains; thus, specifying a Domain is not required if your Angeni lacks one. If you'd like to add a domain to the cert, make sure your domain and subsequent powers, should any exist, have been approved by Mx Cherie. Cosplay Specify the character's name, regardless of whether or not it is the soquili's name, and place of origin (eg. Sora from Kingdom Hearts). Miscellaneous Provide any details relevant to the cert that will not fit anywhere else, such as listing (mock) parents or stating it's an original character. We cannot guarantee anything specified here will make it onto the cert.

(Optional; omit when not in use.) [b]Element:[/b] (For Ulun'suti pures or 50% mixes; 'suti blood that's diluted more than 50% do not have powers. Only applicable for customs or premades where it's specifically stated the user can choose the element. Options available are: Earth, Air, Water, Fire, Wood, Lightning, Light, Shadow) [b]Domain:[/b] (For pure Angeni or Uni-Angeni.) [b]Cosplay:[/b] [b]Romanization:[/b] (If your pet's name is in a different language AND it does not have an alphabetical equivalent on the cert, please include one here so we know what to use in the owner's list. To reiterate, if the pet's alphabetical name will already be included in the cert, you do not need to fill this section out.) [b]Miscellaneous:[/b] (Anything relevant to the cert that will not fit in other sections of the form, such as listing mock parents or specifying that it's an original character. We do not guarantee anything listed here will be used.)
Soquili Breedings (Traditional, Spirit, and Wishing Star Breedings, regardless of starting stage.) A litter must be posted for together; however, owners may post information for their soquili individually once baskets have popped (baskets will not pop until they have been assigned owners). If you'd like to include certing information before the soquili has popped, feel free to do so, and we will automatically take care of it once it's grown. Please use this form for all breedings that are being assigned owners for the first time. This applies regardless of what stage they start with. However, this does not cover crackship; soquili obtained from crackship events should use the form above instead.

Basket-Popping Ceremony This form is used to name (and optionally assign a temper to) newly popped soquili for the first time. To put another way, this form is only applicable for soquili who start with the basket stage. If you have already provided certing information when the baskets were posted, you do not need to post this form.

Familiars This form is used to cert familiars for the first time, including familiars from breedings. If you choose to post a litter separately, please know that the same cert might not be used. You may provide a link to an existing sibling's cert to see if it may be recreated, but there is no guarantee.
Image Please post the full image. Do not use thumbnails, URLs, or spoilers. Alternate Images If your pet has multiple versions that you'd like certed, such as an image without items, please include images here. Any uncert that cannot be RP'd (for instance, an uncert where the front wings are cut off to show the markings) will not be certed.
Name Name of the pet. A pet cannot be renamed unless it is rehomed. Owner Owner of the pet. Note that familiars cannot be co-owned, and only one owner may be listed at a time. Date Received The date you received the pet. (This is not necessarily the date you won.) If you're unsure, please provide as much information as you know (general time frame pet was won, type of event it was won in, etc.) and we'll try to find it for you. If we cannot, we'll simply go with the date your request was made. Temper Temper of the pet. This is optional; however, if you choose to omit it, note that you cannot add one later. A pet cannot be given a new temper unless it is rehomed. Sex Sex of the pet. A familiar retains the same sex, even if it is rehomed. Method of Obtainment Please specify how you obtained the pet (from an event, an in-thread game, etc.) and provide a URL. If you're unsure, please provide as much information as you know (general time frame pet was won, type of event it was won in, etc.) and we'll try to find it for you. Colorist Colorist of the pet. If you're unsure, please provide as much information as you know (general time frame pet was won, type of event it was won in, etc.) and we'll try to find it for you.
Companion To If your familiar is bonded to an existing soquili, please provide information here. The soquili must have the same owner, and a familiar may only be bonded to one soquili at a time. This bond is automatically broken if the soquili becomes a skinwalker, or one of the pets is rehomed (if both pets are rehomed to the same person, they may retain their bond). Parents If your familiar came from a breeding, specify the parents.

Familiar Additions This form is used to add a familiar to a soquili's cert after a familiar has already been certed. (If the familiar has not been certed, please use the form above instead.) Use this thread only if the familiar was colored by one of the colorists this thread services. If the familiar's colorist has a separate thread (including a familiar-only certing thread) or still works with the shop, please use their applicable thread instead.

Cert Design Pets obtained via any custom slot are eligible for customized cert designs. While we will try to work with your preferences, please note that certists are not obligated to follow these specifications if users request incredibly complex decoration coloring or background mixing. To specify your cert's design, append the code below to your main form.
Cert Type Standard (information is on the left) or reversed (information is on the right). Text Color Color of the name, general information, and shop title. Everything else remains their standard color. Frame Color Color of the dreamcatcher frame. Background Background image used. Background images can come from the tag gallery or an external source; if the latter, please provide proof that you've received permission to use it, or that it's free for use. In addition, you may specify the filler color if you'd like. The filler is the space within the borders that is not taken up by the background. You may request it be white, a different color, or an extension of the background. Tag Decorations and Colors Existing decorations and premade colors may be seen in the tag gallery. Decorations are limited to what's available, but you may request custom colors. Breed Users may request the cert state a specific breed, though this is optional.
[b]Cert Type:[/b] Standard or Reversed [b]Text Color:[/b] (Can be different for the name, general information, and shop title.) [b]Frame Color:[/b] [b]Background:[/b] (If you're using an external image, please provide proof that the image is free-for-use or that you have permission to use it.) [b]Tag Decorations and Colors:[/b] (Colors may be premade or custom, but, again, certists are not obligated to follow the request unless the pet was won via custom.) [b]Breed:[/b]
