Farallon Marking Contest!

[Nako]

Well, every now and again, a person hits a wall and they're like 'oh dear... I've run out of markings.' And while that hasn't -quite- happened yet, I'd like to prepare a couple of fun markings up my sleeve so that the Farallon stay very diverse.

There are Markings and Overlays. Markings are actual colors being implemented onto the base color in the form of a mark. Overlays alter the color underneath into a lighter or darker version of the original color.

End Date: To be announced at a later date.

First Prize: Gets a semi-custom Farallon with the winning marking type. They will be able to choose the base color and marking color.

Runners Up: For any additional markings I choose, either items or tickets that may be redeemed for Farallon babies will be given out. Babies will either be bred from my stock, or be the 'extras' which people are unable to claim. I'll likely write up the prizes then decide with dice rolls who gets what.

Marking Name: Okapi
Description: Looks a tad bit like zebra markings, but only on the legs. Typically white but you might want to make it so the colors can be changed, or even an overlay that makes the color lighter, instead of just white.

Marking Name:  Leopard Spots
Description: Goes along with natural Leopard markings, except it can be something of an overlay for any colour. The outside of the spot is black and the inside is a brighter or slightly darker version of the animal's original colour.
