Rules
Marking type: Top
Ink must be black (or may take on a slight hint of the base coat under it). Ink does not affect the claws, paw pads, horns, and species traits (With the exception of Udin chin tufts). Must be hard-edged, and may have a small slight halo effect. This marking should be chunks of coverage with SOME cutouts, or slashes. Should be natural in look. Too small of cut outs will not pass.
Line art must always be visible under the marking.
Visual Guide and Correct Examples
Simple
A simple example of this marking.
Cut outs
Lots of rounded cutouts in this example. Should not have any floating spots resembling other markings (spotted, flecked, ect)
Streaky
A streaky, slashed/banded look is fine as well, as long as it does not resemble other markings. Should still be random in shapes.

Shapes in cutouts
All cutouts/shapes in the marking should be natural or mostly natural. these starts and heart are FAR to perfect to be ok to pass.
Full cover
The marking needs cutouts/slashes in it. It should never be fully covering the dragon.
