STEP ONE wrote:Start by getting the base color down and then making the face and tail markings first.
For the face, forehead markings curve to make an 'M' shape around the eyebrows, which is the signature marking of this kind of tabby. The tabby stripes come down and don't typically branch out much, though a second marking on the eyebrows is sometimes present. Markings under the eyes come from the outer corner of the eye, of which branches once under the eye, and then another stripe coming from the jaw close to the branched stripe. Typically there is another stripe or broken stripe between the two. Last stripes on the face come from the outer ends of the nose to come partially towards the inner corners of the eyes.

Stripes on the tail become thicker towards the tip and taper from the spine to the underside of the tail, ranging in 7-10 stripes total along the tail alone. Paws have the same dark color on the bottom around the pads

STEP TWO wrote:Next is starting on the body stripes specifically on the torso. The stripes are fairly straight going downwards, occasionally parting or curving in an unusual way but always directly going downwards to the belly. Around the hip area the stripes curve towards the belly and around the hips but not in a dramatic fashion. Along the spine is solid from the neck to the base of the tail.

STEP THREE wrote:The neck is simple and connects from the spine stripe to the front of the cat, curving slightly. Cats' shoulders and hips tend to have stripes in a triangle-esq fashion, not a full triangle shape but angled in a way that makes a triangle-like shape consistently. There is usually 1-2 triangle shapes present on the shoulders of mackerel tabbies especially.

STEP FOUR wrote:Finish off the stripes by having the front legs angle curved upwards and forward, and back stripes angle downwards and forward. These stripes throughout should be close together and are often thin, though some tabbies have been known to have thicker or more spaced out stripes.

FINAL STEPS wrote:Simply finish up by making the undercoat and any other missing features. You can add white, make them colorpoint, make them silver, or even tortoiseshell!

Note: Cupido Draft Genetics are based off real genetics. Therefore, genetics may not completely correspond, this is because CDH has more simplified genes. This guide does not accurately use the gene locus.

Breed specific genetics and non-genetic markings do not have a specific geno. Instead, they are written out.
For example: + byakko, + m venus, + chubari, etc

Dilution

Eumelanin: E

Determines if a horse has a black or chestnut (red) base.

Agouti: A

Restricts black pigment to points to create bay and causes brown.

Grey: G

Changes a horse's coat to grey over its lifetime. Affects all coats. Foals are born their natural color and grey over their lifetime, usually ending up as completely white or fleabitten grey.

Cream: Cr

Cream dilutes a horse's coat to a lighter color. It is an incomplete dominant gene, so two copies dilute further than one. One copy of cream turns black to smoky black; bay to buckskin; seal brown to brown buckskin; and chestnut to palomino. Two copies of cream turns black to smoky cream; bay and brown to perlino; and chestnut to cremello. Cream causes light eyes in double-dilutes.
CrCr: Double cream (two copies of cream)
Crprl: Psuedo double cream (looks the same as double creams but has one copy of cream and one of pearl)
Crcr: Single cream

Pearl: prl

Pearl produces a horse with a metallic shine that somewhat resembles champagne horses. It is a recessive gene, so it only shows with two copies.

Dun: D

Dilutes a horse's coat color, with the head and legs often being darker. The horse may appear to have a dark mask over the top of the head. Causes primitive markings such as a dorsal stripe, ear barring, leg barring, shoulder stripes and cobwebbing on the forehead. Some homozygous duns may have bider marks.

Silver: Z

A dilution affecting black pigment in the mane and tail, and black body pigment to a slight degree. Silver lightens black to silver black, bay to silver bay, and brown to silver seal brown (or blue taffy).

Champagne: Ch

Dilutes the coat to a lighter, somewhat metallic color. Champagne dilutes black to classic champagne, bay to amber champagne, brown to sable champagne and red to gold champagne.

Mushroom: mu

Mushroom is a recessive gene that dilutes red in the coat to a taupe or sepia color. It dilutes chestnuts to a light sepia, and bay to a dark taupe that resembles sooty buckskins.

Flaxen: f

A recessive gene that dilutes mane and tails to a flaxen wheat color. Effects red pigment. In real life, it has not been definitively linked to one gene; there are still theories that it is polygenic and therefore influenced by many genes.

Sooty: Sty

Darkens the coat color and to an extent, the mane, from the topline of the body. It often has a pronounced effect on buckskin and palomino coats. In real life, inheritance of sooty is not well understood and it is unclear if it is caused by one or many genes.

Roan: Rn

Lightens the hairs of the body. The face, legs and mane remain fully colored.

Pangare: P

Lightens the underside of the body, around the eyes, the nose, and up the rump. Some sources say it also lightens the mane and tail in chestnut horses, mimicking the flaxen gene. In real life, pangare is not attributed to a single gene; it is thought to be polygenic - caused by many different genes.

Tobiano: To or T

Produces patches of white across the whole body. Legs almost always have some degree of white on them, often up to the knees or further. Patches are usually rounded, without the jagged edges commonly seen in overo. The chest and flank are the last to lose color. The head and ears are usually solidly colored. At minimum, tobianos may only have white on the legs with no other markings. At maximum, they may be almost entirely white, only retaining color on the head (moroccan tobianos) or the chest/flanks.

Frame Overo: O

Causes irregular white patches, usually with jagged edges. The white almost never crosses the topline of the horse. Legs may or may not have white markings. The head is often white or bald-faced, with markings being irregular. Blue eyes are common when white comes close to or covers the eyes. Frame overo is associated with Lethal White Syndrome (also called Lethal White Overo), which refers to how homozygous frame horses all die shortly after birth due to complications. For this reason, fame overo horses cannot be bred together.

Splash: Spl

May be called Splash or Splashed White. Causes white markings look as if the horse has been dipped in white paint hoof-first. It affects the legs and face first. Eyes are often blue regardless of if white covers them or not. Minimal splashes may appear to just have a few socks or be seemingly solid-colored. Maximum splashes usually retain color only on the ears, top of the neck and/or withers.

Sabino: Sb

Causes irregular white spotting and roaning. White is typically irregular, jagged and has a spotty/roaned look, appearing most frequently on the stomach. Interspersed white and colored hairs caused by sabino can mimic the roan gene. Roaning or jaggedness at the edges of white markings is common, as are irregular face markings. Usually two or more feet/legs are white.
Homozygous sabino results in a coat that is more than 90% white and is referred to as maximum sabino or sabino-white. Homozygous sabinos usually have a fully roaned appearance (including the head and legs, unlike the Roan gene) often with patches of darker color, or as a white horse with spots of color and some lightly colored patches.
Heterozygous sabino can display as minimally as a few spots on the face with a few white feet. It can present as an extensive roaned appearance, or just as solid white spotting on the legs, belly, neck and/or rump.

Dominant White: W

Dominant white is a family of 28 genes (W1-W28) causing white spotting, often similar to sabino, up to a near- or full white horse. Multiple of these genes are thought to be homozygous embryonic lethal, meaning offspring does not typically survive to reach birth. W20 is the most widespread of the dominant white genes, and is known to cause markings such as socks and blazes, but when paired with other white markings such as tobiano, it significantly increases the extensiveness of the white. The dominant white gene has been simplified into two genes: "W" dominant white which causes a fully white horse with pink skin, with homozygous white being embryonic lethal, and "W+" which represents W20. They occur on the same locus like pearl and cream.

Appaloosa: Lp and PATN1

Rabicano: Rb

Gonna cover Chestnut, Bay, Seal Bay, Wild Bay, Brown, Black, and Grey. Grey is gonna be covered here as well since it’s not really a dilution or modifier as much as it just overruns everything lol

Not gonna add all shade variants, as many are just slightly different or may just be visually different but not genetically different. This is to cover the genetics as Acronymm has many shades covered above with the CDH rarity guide!

Bays will be red on their body and head, with black points. The black points include legs,
muzzle, tail, mane, and occasionally ear tips. The Agouti (A Gene) restricts the black
pigment from the Extension (E Gene).

Seal Bay

Dark Bay, Brown

Ee/Ata
EE/Ata

Seal Bays are the least dominate Agouti (At Gene) in Cupido Draft Horses. The At Gene
provides minimal black restriction on the bay base. Often leaves the soft spots, such as
the muzzle, flanks, and under rump, with more red or orange color. In some cases, the
horse may look black even.

STEP ONE wrote:Start by getting the base color down and then making the limb, face, and back markings first.
For the face, forehead markingss are going to be going primarily down and around the eyebrows, some parting away from the top or being placed along the brow line. Markings under the eyes will come from the outer corners of the eyes and one coming from the jaw, curving to fit under the eye. Last stripes on the face come from the outer ends of the nose to come partially towards the inner corners of the eyes.

Stripes on the neck are going to go forward and down, markings on the back will break just after the shoulder and then separate along the back. The tail can be connected or not and is in 3-5 stripes along the tail. Legs' stripes are typically angled to the front of the cat and paws have the same dark color on the bottom around the pads.

STEP TWO wrote:Next is placing the inner bullseye. The bullseye should be a non uniform shape, usually mimicking an oval or rectangle, and is placed towards the back of the cat on the torso. It should not be centered, too forward, or on the thigh directly.

STEP THREE wrote:Connect the bullseye to the back stripe. This can be done in a multitude of ways but most often a stripe comes from either the shoulder section or the back section and connects to the bullseye directly. It can be floating as well but there is almost always 1-2 stripes around the bullseye in an oval-like or swirl-like visual.

STEP FOUR wrote:Add the remaining stripes to the body. Typically stripes, again, angle towards the front of the body in a sweeping motion. Cats' shoulders tend to have stripes in a triangle-esq fashion, not a full triangle shape but angled in a way that makes a triangle-like shape consistently. Elbows and knees/inner thighs often have a thicker stripe collection than other parts of the legs.

FINAL STEPS wrote:Simply finish up by making the undercoat and any other missing features. You can add white, make them colorpoint, make them silver, or even tortoiseshell!

pip pip cheerio...species idea?
by rainbowpanda101 @ Mon Mar 13, 2023 2:34 pm [Reply]

So I've had the flu for the last week and have felt like death. 💀
I've had difficulty sleeping because of trouble breathing (yay congestion) and night sweats.
This morning, my fiancé had to work early and so I ended up waking up from his alarm.
I tried to fall back to sleep but my ill brain was like HERE, HAVE A PIXEL SPECIES IDEA
and then I didn't fall back to sleep for a couple hours because of that and an upset stomach T_T
Thankfully I'm well enough to doodle the pixel idea and get it out of my head.

So yeah nothing special...just some...kiwi bird things that my brain said were called "Pips"
my brain was just like "they can have lil wings and tails and long beaks and this...and that...and..."
I can't remember every tiny idea my sleepy brain thought of this morning so I just drew a few.

The one with the top hat/monocle is Sir Ozzy. Brain was adamant there had to be one with a monocle. >_>'

My brain also told me that there's a Pip called Teddie the Wizard who has an evil brother, Eddie.
Eddie shows up periodically to do mischief, and players are supposed to help catch him to win stuff...?
The wizard's and his brother's full names are Theodore and Edward. My brain was very clear on that.

I guess there are also Pips named Pippy and Pipsqueak. I think Pippy was supposed to be the mascot?

Just tossing the idea out there, if anyone wants to see this as a species. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

edit: a finished Sir Ozzy for your viewing pleasure lol

and the brothers, Teddie and Eddie...

.henloimmabirb. @ Tue Mar 14, 2023 7:03 am

These are so cute, love the idea!:D Would certainly be interested if you turn them into a species!

rainbowpanda101 @ Tue Mar 14, 2023 4:21 pm

yeah I'm crazy...

Sir Ozzy, Eddie and Teddie, Pippy, and Pipsqueak are all hiding
in there somewhere...plus a couple new friends named Mom & Pop!

very much so not an average cat, though they don't seem to
realize this. they don't really know who comma is, but they
feel strangely compelled to follow them regardless. they don't
really know what's happening, but they're enjoying causing
problems regardless. they love pranking comma. they think it is
very funny. comma disagrees. they do not seem to realize this.
