I could not be happier. Thank you so much Oddly. You took my dream and made him even dreamier haha! What an amazing start to my week <3

This is gonna be one of those "too long, didn't read" moments for most haha but I wanted to write a little thing here about how he came to be. Marcus here is inspired by his namesake, my heart rabbit who was born 13 years ago in my first ever litter of Harlequin rabbits, as well as inspired by the breed itself (so not 100% based on Marcus alone, but close!). The Tobiano pattern placement is like that of Marcus/the breed standard of this breed of rabbit, the roaning I added to represent the common "brindling" seen in Harlequins (which is just an intermixing of the white pattern and base color, not too dissimilar to roan). I chose the inverted quip because it simply felt fitting for what the inspo breed is, and chose the gold fill to represent how valuable Marcus had been in life to me (not in a monetary way but you get it) and it and the silver also doubles to represent the many wins he won on the show table. Then the little hidden bunny print "cat tracks" as another nod to what inspired him. The necklace quip though is simply because it's my favorite quipping, sue me. 🤣 In hindsight lightening would have worked better for my future plans with this quiddie (I have a mate and future foal ideas!) Buuuut. Necklace. :3 Lol!
