Hood is a marking which focus is over the head and neck, imitating natural like marking. This should only be a 'base' colour over this area to let other markings (if have any) create unique natural like markings.
The only time which you can select from the marking styles would be if the Mythikan has only minimum of 4 markings, hood being inclusive, and no rare nor unique markings are present in the pup's geno.
This can only be one specific colour unless stated otherwise below,
Texture
Colouration and interactions with other markings:
Hood can be either lighter or darker than the base coat, never a mixture even if you have dual tone or reversal.
You can not use pure white or black for this marking! Very diluted colours from your base coat is acceptable.
Here is some examples of acceptable tones when using darker or lighter to mimic a 'white' or 'black' tone for this marking.
[Palette of black ish-dark grey and offwhite]
Things to avoid:
- Do not use dual tone nor spectral to make this natural like marking to appear random colours.
- This should marking should not appear on one side of the body alone. however you can make it somewhat patchy as shown above.
- If you have snowstorm marking, this will cancel out hood all together, so you should not have this visible at all.
Various Examples
[Examples]
Corrupted Marking style
Texture
Colouration and interactions with other markings:
This marking style creates an unusual marking style which starts at the base of the throat and crawls up into the face, sometimes surrounds the eyes area. This marking style can also create vain like markings over the given area without the Defier being present in the pup's geno.
Accents must be in the geno as well for you to use this marking style.
Streak Marking style
Texture
Colouration and interactions with other markings:
You can only select lighter than the base coat colour.
This marking style creates a 'streak' like marking which originates from the Mythikan's eyes and stretches down to the nape of their necks. It can also sometimes create 'tear streams' down the eyes and around corners of the mouth area similar to Cheetahs.
Dual Tone can be used with this marking style, however if you are using wolverine marking style in Blanket, the colours should be the same and blend from one to another, never having a clear indication where one starts and one finishes.
