These two are GORGEOUS! That tweed...omg. Nothing but good to say about them 😊

It's great to see you're interested and you have some good skills! Gonna leave some individual feedback for each collie on their respective pages, but my biggest bit of advice for you is to actually make the adult version first, and then translate them to the pups! This is because the adults are the main version, and it is a lot easier to plot out markings and such on the default lines than the pups and then match them accurately, plus we very often have the pup version covered by a sweater on the official whelping page!
This way you make either all the adults then all the pups, or adult one, pup one, then adult two, pup two. Then you post it with the pups showing, and when you "colour in" for the individual pups it's just a matter of having the correct folder showing :>

Edit: oh also! A little tip that will help make all your designs look that little bit better, colouring the lineart a darker colour than the marking (eg a dark blue and grey where it's white) but leaving the eyes and nose line black gives it a more unified look! You can see examples on any collie in my gallery!

Genetics: you've done a great job matching the geno and the pheno! Official wording order of the pheno (colour) goes: masking, colours, a loci, k loci, m/h loci, t loci, s loci. So yours would be "Masked Blue and Silver Blanket Minimal White"
However you seem to have had a little mix up with a couple genes! To roll puppies, you should rng a single loci from each parent. For example Tealight is sisi and Ourania is Ssw, meaning you would roll between the S and the sw to pair with a si. possible puppy combos are then Ssi (minimal white) or sisw (Extreme Irish white). You can fix this my changing your geno to Ssi! It's the same with the masking, one parent is EmEm and the second EE, so pups can only be EmE, there is no possibility of EmEm! If that's still confusing feel free to shoot me a DM on here or discord!

Design: well done remembering the nose/eye shine, it can be easily forgotten, and I love the colour you chose for the eyes! Overall your markings are pretty spot on, however you seem to have a few too many light patches on the top of the collie (tail, shoulder) where they should be your blue and not silver. The parent Tealight is a great example of a blanket! Similarly there should be no silver on the muzzle/cheeks/around the eyes as masking would make that whole area blue! As for your colour shades they can work as they are, but from my experience we tend to do blue and silver as greys in the warm colour zones, not actual blue tones, just to get them a tad more natural looking! If you're stuck it can be a good idea to colour pick from real collies not to copy, just to see what area of the palette they use :>

Other: very minor but you can delete all the info on the adult height/weight other than what it rolls, so it'll just say "adult height: 19 in"!

This is an awesome first collie and I look forward to seeing how you develop designs in the future!

I am not in this species but I love your work I hope you're chosen!

IDK WHAT THIS IS BUT ITS SO CUTE

Oh this is fantastic! Saving up for the last little bit of CS I need for it, but would it be okay to claim this cutie?

Congratulations I want to see treehorse everywhere!

Can I claim!

Genotype: Just a few capital letters to change/the E loci needs reordering, and S loci is a wrong combo again! C loci should be Ccch and E loci EmE and S loci Ssi!
However you are missing the word Masked at the start of the pheno and from the design

Design: Placement looks pretty spot on! White ear tips aren't the most common but are definitely possible! Your saddle covers the right areas, except there shouldn't be any lilac on the butt fluff/arm pits and you need the masking on the muzzle/cheeks/eyes area. As there is no merle the lilac should all be one colour (can be shaded to be darker on the top and lighter on the bottom in a gradient) rather than 2 distinct colours. Here's an example: Forum/viewtopic.php?f=124&t=5044383

Overall these have been a great first try at a litter!

Version 1:


I tried implementing some fur texture in the second version. I would love some feedback on which fur texture looks better! I think I may have overdone it a bit.

I also wasn't super happy with the face, so I updated to have more of a defined mask (and look more like the original puppy version).

Genetics: genotype is very particular on capital letters, the red should be Ccch! As explained on pup one it can only be EmE and sisw or Ssi. Final wording would be "Masked Lilac and Red Blanket Extreme Irish/Minimal White Rainfall"

Design: You're almost perfect with the blanket again! However the entire back should be lilac, and the red would appear on the back side of the arms and a bit on the chest. Version 1s face wash incorrect as you posted out but the current version looks pretty good! As for your white, it's looking very patchy and more like harlequin on the likes. You can have multiple spots of white but it isn't the most common, especially for Irish. To match the genes you might be best changing it to minimal white and keeping the face, tail and paws and leaving just one spot on the chest? Just a suggestion! I definitely think texture brings it to life more! Usually we only do a few patches here and there rather than all, so keep experimenting and see what works for you!
I personally find lilac and red/dark red the hardest colour combo to work with oof, you've chosen a nice warm lilac which works! Your red is looking a little too pink however, the parent Tealight is a good example of a red shade! Oh and that's super pretty rainfall <3

Genetics: similarly to the first pup, EE and sisi are not possible combinations (explained on pup 1). With a little more white on the face/tail you could change it to sisw - Extreme Irish! The rest of the pheno and geno match perfectly! Removed "and" before the word rainfall and it's worded exactly like a real collie too!

Design: I would personally make your white brighter, not pure white, but enough it's more distinctive from the silver shade! While it's absolutely fine as it is currently, I personally like to add more texture to my edges of white to make it more interesting (if you look at the parents you can see the white doesn't have straight edges, but little flicks to stimulate fur) in case you want something new to try (edit, just saw you have actually tried that on the next one which is great to see)! The shades of colour you chose compliment each other really well!

oh my goodness the little guy is stunning!! i love them - please make them official i am on my knees begging!!
