Cervus Guide
Cervus runs up the back and sides of the Kodai, consisting mostly of 'lines' and occasional spots.
Cervus should not be only long horizontal lines that run the entire length, nor can it only be spots lined up along the back/sides.
Cervus must be horizontal, and cannot be vertical.
Cervus can also be nuanced! This is when the marking is slightly erased to show the color that's beneath. It should be subtle, and should not change how the marking appears, or make it look like another marking entirely!
When using a nuance, you should still be able to see the marking edges, like the above example. If too much is erased, your design may be sent back to corrections!
Nuance does not allow for the marking to completely fade away, or have the markings edge only just visible. Nuance should be subtle!
