Alright, start this off strong by listing the prizes!
there will be no tiers, there will be 1 winner, said winner will get either:
20-30 (Depending on likeability)
a buffy
a lion scrote

I'm forming a project for my next king because I'm not as enthusiastic about my current one.
Said heir will have:
Bandit base
Savage or royal mane

Details:
Minimum of 10 markings
Eye pleasing/pretty
Decor is not necessary and I'd like to keep it minimal.
Do not spam breed only markings. (Ex: Scoundrel, leonid, rosettes, etc.) I'm much more interested in actual designs that fit the lion well and suits what I'm looking for.
Do not add mutations, especially piebald.
Removing or replacing the base = entry not accounted for.

Please link the final result below and not in my inbox, I clear it daily and your submission will be discarded.
