Coat Types





coat types

Choose a coat type for your Candyfloss! A Candyfloss' coat of fur usually has markings or patterns on it, and it's one of their more unique features.  These patterns can be natural and grown since they were born, or  artificial but altering the follicles to grow a different color, similar to a tattoo on Humans. Natural markings can be passed down in families and are usually abstract, like whole areas being a different color,  gradients, spots or stripes etc. but more specific markings like words,  pictures, symbols and the like can be added artificially. The follicles can only be made to grow colors that are already in the Floss' color palette; except for Epsilon clan which has a special exclusive trait. These same principles can be applies to the skin or scales of Taffyfloss and Brittlefloss.

Coat types are separated into different  categories and rarities, and some flavors do not have access to all coat types. Read below about the different coat types and which flavors have access to which types.

common coat

Taffyfloss
The Common Coat Type is of Common Rarity.
Floss have this coat type be default unless it is upgraded or their flavor dictates otherwise. 
 
requirements
 The Candyfloss Common Coat is made up of a solid base color and simple gradients on specific locations on the body. These gradients can be made up of any palette color. The gradients on the body must have a soft blurred edge, as shown in the example. The gradients can be of two or more colors as long as the transition is smooth. Markings, smooth or otherwise are not allowed even if they are within the gradient area. The colors of each area do not have to match, and much be distinct enough from the base and each other to be easily noticeable.78245387_cZuXMni1rRHAvYj.png
 The areas that are required are as follows.
1. Belly; covering from just below the clavicle to just above the pelvic bones. 
2. Arms; this is a straight line on the topside of all 4 arms from the shoulder to the wrist.
3. Legs; similar to the arms, a strait line from the top of the thigh to the ankle. The leg markings are omitted for Taffyfloss.

5. Inner ear; the inner portion of the ear entirely.
6. Under eye; this is a straight line that can be blurred or sharp, from the inner tip to the outer tip of the eye along the bottom edge.

 The Additive Coat type simply takes the Common Coat and adds small details to it. This means all areas listed for a common coat must be present. Freckles, stripes, tattoes, and markings of all kinds can be added in and around the required areas so long as the common coat areas are still clearly visible. Be sure to check your common coat requirements before adding onto it. All markings must align with the floss' palette.

 

Odd colors cannot be the base color of  your floss, base color is determined by the color that covers over 50%  of the face and body.

blank coat

The Blank Coat Type is of Rare Rarity for most flavors, and Required for Peppermintfloss.  

 
requirements
The Blank coat requires an almost completely solid colored coat. This coat type is required for the Peppermintfloss Flavor, but can also be applied to most other floss. To qualify as a Blank coat you can only have markings in a number of certain areas. Each area will add to your total, and if you exceed the max amount you will have to remove areas. Even if there is blank space around your markings, it will still count as using the whole area. Please keep in mind warping on images with chibi proportions and be mindful of what areas you're covering.

 
Remember to read and follow our tos in regards to certain images and words that are banned from appearing as markings on floss.
