Piebald: Splash White

I've created the concept for a splash white pie based off the horse coat. I will show the concept art and mark some characteristics of the coat. The range of presentations of splash white could be used in multiple piebald variations. Here, I've designed a general idea of one and will note what defines this coat versus another horse-inspired color.

I am willing to make more concept art such as more minimal, medium, and extensive variations.

General Description:
The splash white coat is defined by the lower half of a horse being "dipped" in white. The edges of the marks are typically defined and blocky, not jagged in the way overo coats are. Often the marking will have an apex/peak around the midsection. However, the marking should not go over the topline, which would indicate a tobiano. The tail is usually white or tipped white.

When you see it first, it looks simple. But it's awesome, I love it!

I have a small suggestion here, especially since MoDs seem to be released in pairs: have a light and heavy version of this. One thing that holds me back from using pie mods is they cover a lot of the wolf, which can be cool, but can also take away from some designs and make wolves look samey. Having some variety in the degree of coverage would give people more of a range of options within MoDs which would be fun.

Based on the horse chart ElectroSwing kindly shared, I'd say the pictured design could be Splash Heavy, and a version that covers less of the face (maybe just hte nose?), a bit of the chest, some of the legs, and the very bottom of the belly (sort of a mix between c and d on the chart) could be Splash Light.

Thank you for your addition! I definitely agree heavy and light variations would make an interesting variety which appeals to a larger amount of players.
