This example is too complex for Tabby! The stripes are too thin, compacted, and spidery. They also end in sharp points - Tabby should be blobby!

This example is too spotty - while Tabby can have some blobs and floating spots, this is too many! Additionally, the fade here is incorrect since it's making the marking look two-toned!
