As an animal science student with an interest in genetics, I love to take any sort of genetics challenge that comes up, so I'm going to make a game out of it! I am most familiar with equine and feline genetics Here's a few definitions to get you started:
Phenotype: What genes an animal shows- ie a black horse
Genotype: What genes/genetic information an animal has- ie a black horse whose genetics are EE or Ee.
Dominant gene/trait: This gene appears regardless of other (recessive) genes (EE or Ee)
Recessive gene/trait: This gene only appears when there are two copies of it (ee)
Codominant gene/trait: Both dominant genes/traits are expressed (Red+white= red and white)
Incomplete dominant gene/trait: Both genes/traits are partially expressed (red+white=pink)
Now here's the part where you come in-fill out this form below, and I can tell you the possible offspring from that pairing! (Note-I am hesitant to do this with fantasy creatures unless you can provide me a detailed description of their genes and how they interact (dominance) with other genes)
Mother: (image of parent or description)
Father:(image of parent or description)
Any information about geno/phenotypes that you have: (If using fantasy characters, please outline how the genes interact with the genes of the same and the other parent)
Extent of information Wanted: (Coat color, eye color, ect):
I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can with the information!
Examples:
Mother:
Father:
Any information about geno/phenotypes that you have: No information
Extent of Information Wanted: As in depth as possible!
The mother appears to be a tortoiseshell and white cat-so her phenotype would be B/XXo/D/dm/a/i/Mc/C/Ss
The father appears to be a black and white cat-so his phenotype would be B/X/D/dm/a/i/-/C/Ss
If we are using this information, and not including any recessive traits that we can't see, then the kittens will look like this-
Male Kittens- Either Black and white or Red mackerel tabby and white kittens
Female Kittens- Black and white, tortishell and white, or red mackerel tabby and white kittens
The kittens should have some variation of green eyes, assuming both parents have green eyes.

Father:
Any information about geno/phenotypes that you have: No information
Extent of Information Wanted: Just coat colors please
As the mother appears to be a buckskin, her phenotype would be E/A/Cr/
As the father appears to be a flaxen dun, his phenotype would be e/D
Foals could be any combination of (Provided parents are heterozygous):
Ee/Aa/Cr/D-Dunskin aka dun buckskin, Ee/Aa/Cr-buckskin, Ee/Aa/D-Dun, Ee/Cr-Smoky black, E/Cr/D-Smoky gruella, ee/Aa/Cr/D-dunalino aka dun palimino, ee/Aa/D-flaxen dun, ee/Aa/Cr-palimino, ee/Aa-flaxen chestnut, ee/D-Flaxen dun, ee/Cr- palimino
