Banding

(BnBn/nBn) Banding

Banding is a marking that causes primarily horizontal dark striping and spotting along the length of an animal. Usually it starts at the neck, sometimes from the eyes, and spreads to at least the base of the tail. The stripes are rounded and bar like, often capped by small spots, and sometimes can be broken or sectioned, with spots between bands. nBn- is the reversal of Banding,  where the horizontal stripes are light colored instead of dark. 

(nBn) Single Allele

Banding can have maximum 6 rows of striping.

(BnBn) Dominant
Dominant Banding allows unlimited rows of banding, spreading to the face, down the tail and even on the legs.

Variation:

Banding can have it's own nuance or a slight fade or transparency in one direction only.

• Banding can be above or below other markings but must be below all white markings and reversed white marks.

• Banding can interact with Tiger and  Zebra to cap the sharper edge stripes in spots or dots, allowing it to appear as vertical instead of horizontal along the body.

• Banding cannot be tapered with the edge and  should not have any hooks unless interacting with another striped marking.

• Banding is inspired by Tapir and baby piglet markings.

• Banding can have fur texture in furred areas.

• Banding can be multiple rows of stripes, up to 6 for single allele, and unlimited for dominant expression.

• Banding can use colors from the Natural Accents Sliders, but must remain overall darker than what it sits on.
