Split

OVERVIEW

• A common mane specific marking that creates wide bands of a natural color in the mane. 
  
  

RANGE AND DETAILS

• This marking can effect all mane and tail fur
• Minimally, Split can make just the bangs of the Drakiri a different color than the rest, or one wide band anywhere in the mane. Up to 50% of the mane fur can be covered by this marking, and the wider bands can be mixed with the smaller bands.
• At least one band of color should appear on the mane, or up to three, with roughly half the mane being covered by this other color.

COLOR TEXTURE AND GRADIENT

• This marking can only be one color throughout and can not contain a gradient (Other than matching the allowable free mane gradient) unless effected by the marking Gradient.
  
  

LAYERING

• This marking can layer over or under other mane specific markings, but appears beneath piebald

• Split can be effected by Vibrant Mane and Glimmer, but Split can also appear in natural colors on a mane that is effected by Vibrant Mane for some interesting effects.

PAINT

OVERVIEW

• Paint is a highly versatile marking. It can create splatter or patch on the chest. It can also create splashes of a natural color like paint splatters, or add a drippy edge to markings, making them look like they were painted on. The drips can have little highlights on them to make them look shiny. Paint can form splatters on the scales as well, though they must be a different shade of the scale color unless Bicolor or Tricolor is present.
  
  

RANGE AND DETAILS

• Paint can appear anywhere on the Drakiri, including the scales! It  can not restrict to the mane, but may extend onto the main where it touches.

MIN RANGE

• Paint should create at least one small splatter somewhere on the Drakiri, or one little drip effect on a marking. 

MAX RANGE

• Paint can create splatters all over the Drakiri!
• If Paint is interacting with Glimmer and Bicolor, Tricolor or Spectrum, it can create effects as if different colored paints were splattered all over your Drakiri! Bicolor allows two colors, Tricolor three, Spectrum any amount of colors you want.
• Paint can interact with Chroma, by making the entire Drakiri's base coat look like a chaotic splatter of paint beneath the other markings! (Optional)

COLOR TEXTURE AND GRADIENT

• Paint can not have a gradient unless the Gradient marking is present
• Paint must be natural colors unless Glimmer is present.
• Bicolor, Tricolor and Spectum can create splatters of different colors on the Drakiri, or allow more than one natural color.

• Paint can layer over or under any marking aside from Piebald and overlay markings such as Stone, Smoke and Satin.

PHYSICAL MUTATIONS

• Paint can create splatters on the wings of Phoenix, or a patch of different color on the wings (Like just the flight feathers or similar)
