New Breed Specific Marking Suggestion Competition
This is also a semi-custom opportunity! Please fill out the form below to enter.
The artist team will be choosing the winner based on their marking suggestion, and this collie will be the first to have the winning marking. Written descriptions, drawings, and credited image examples are all allowed. Explanations and suggestions of possible genotype(s) and how your new marking would interact with existing markings/genes are welcome, but not necessary!
Name and gender may be listed as TBD and selected after the collie's design has been completed.

Note: This competition is to suggest a new breed-specific marking, not list a preexisting one!

Line Edits: Part of the lip lost so teeth show. Dolichocephalic head.

Breed Specific Marking Suggestion:
Colour point. 2, 3. A rare mutation recently discovered in some Russian dachshunds and their mixes. Concentrates colour on the nose, ears, tail, and feet. Feet have "penciling" on them, similar to german shepherd toes.

Breed Specific Marking Suggestion:
Ridgeback
Forms a smooth line across the topline, presenting in the colour of the base (Black/Blue/Liver/Lilac). Could also been seen in Reverse, could also be fun if visible on Eryth colours, but unsure how, as it would probably present as a type of masking (possible to combine them with other masking types)

Color 1: liver
Color 2: tan
Coat Type: curly or wire
Line Edits: elongated fur on legs (feathering as seen on irish setters) and extra fluff on the cheeks

Breed Specific Marking Suggestion:

barbu - an a locus gene
a dappling effect as seen on the barbu d’uccle chicken breed. this dapple effect seems to come in the same typical pattern, of a black under layer and then white tips near the end, however it also expresses with different intensities. i will link some examples further down. because of these differences in intensity expression, i feel that this gene would work well on the ‘A’ locus and the way it interacts with other genes would effect the expression, kinda like how wildtype changes due to other genes. these chickens also come in different varieties and colors, which can be seen on this website. i feel that these color shifts would be great examples of how different melanin and pheomelanin would interact, as well as eryth. the white dappling would act like the white in wildtype, changing only when expressed with ghost.

(perhaps to make these gene more rare, it must be rolled for like ghost or have another locus effecting it, maybe the ‘K’ locus.

examples:
x…x…x…x…(a good example of what could be an offwhite eryth)…(as well as a tan eryth)

Color 1: Lilac
Color 2: Red
Coat Type: wire
Line Edits: Folded ears and beard (inspiration)

Breed Specific Marking Suggestion: Masking based on the Black-necked/Eared grebe (Podiceps nigricollis) - specifically their non-winter plumage. The face is completely masked except for a streak behind the eye with the neck, majority of the chest, and a cape also masked. I did some quick mock-ups here of a few different A locus genes.
As to how this fits in with the other masking, I see it working similarly to how Cervus, Procyon, and Bausant work. It can work with glass mask, but would otherwise be more or less dominant than the other three depending on where staff might decide to place it in the dominance order.

Color 1: Black
Color 2: Tan/Gold
Coat Type: Rough
Line Edits: One floppy ear like this or this, long down tail also like the previous example or this

Breed Specific Marking Suggestion: A leopard gecko marking! It would be a "K locus" gene, and depends if there are two genes of it or not, would have a bigger or lesser expression (which would keep the marking mainly in head and tail).
