Rules
Scales can be lighter or darker than the base coat or may be black or white. You may pick from the slider of your character, or use your discretion on picking your own shade, don’t get too saturated or dull from the original color range of your slider. Scales can make scale-like markings on dragons that have no apparent scales (in their lineart) or if there are scales apparent, may tip those scales as well as make markings, or just solely tip them. May fade away at edges.
Line art must always be visible under the marking.
