Shape and Placement
- Mottled allows both spotting and holes to be added surrounding the edges of a marking, including a fade-like effect or trailing spots both inwards or outwards.
- Designer's choice as to which marking(s) Mottled affects; it is not attached to any specific other markings
- Mottled can add holes to markings that usually cannot have holes.
- Spotted markings (such as Freckled, Starred, Dalmatian) may have clusters or overlapping spots when affected by Mottled.
- Mottled can only present as small speckling or spotting and not large patches.
Color
- Mottled is a modifier and does not have any defined color rules. Instead, it should adopt the properties of whichever marking it is affecting - it must follow same color rules.
Interactions
- Mottled can be freely applied to keratin to add spots.
-- Spots must be one solid color.
Allowed Edge Types
Mottled is a modifier and does not have any defined edge types or range limits. Instead, it should adopt the properties of whichever marking it is affecting - it must use the same edge types.
