now with pictures to convince you further

New Marking Type 'Ghost' [G]

Loosely inspired by the 'ghost' markings on Smoke cats, this marking pattern would use the inverse of the main body/pattern colours for paler patterns on a lighter base.
Some mock-ups for suggested G markings and similarly spooky names, all in the Black, Almond and Snow Standard base colours.

G + G = Ghost

G + T = Skeleton

G + S = Mist

G + M = Fog

G + P = Phantom/Ghostpoint

Alt:


I think I forgot to recolour the inner ears for most of the Snow ones haha, and there might be a more interesting thing to do with Points, but I definitely think there'd be a niche for inverse-colour markings!

Edit: Added alternate versions of Phantom which are essentially inverse of Mink! I think I prefer these.

options to make cats w limb differences & disabilities would be great!!! my best friend has a one-eyed orange cat named sammy ravioli and i would love to be able to recreate him in pce :]

Hi I am back with some more Marking Suggestions! (I have more in the works because they're really really fun to make, actually.)

Without further ado, the Ticked Gene, represented by the letter K. Again, all colours in Black, Almond, and Snow.

K + K = Ticked Tabby


K + T = Fragmented Tabby


K + S = Dispersed


K + M = Granite


K + P = Checkpoint


And just for fun, if combined with the Ghost marking pattern I suggested above:

K + G = Whisper


Edit: I'm back with the More!

These alleles are called Night [N] and Day [D], and are somewhat of a matched set with a fun concept that would proably need a little more ironing-out if they were actually implemented. But this is a Suggestion and that's what it's for lmao. The idea is that the colour of the marking remains the Same no matter which base colour is used (with the exception of Snow because it does Funky things.)

Here we are, the Day markings first, where everything is white (Snow), again including my previous suggestions, haha!:

D + D = Day


D + T = Tapir


D + S = Fawn


D + M = Ribbon


D + P = Herdpoint


D + G = Panda


D + K = Badger


My biggest issue with these is how to have the light Day markings that are already in the Snow colour to like, show up on Snow. Especially on the Snow Herdpoint, which is intended to have the 'solid' base colour with marked-base Snow in a reverse Colourpoint, essentially. I didn't want to change the base to the marking colour as I've already used that for the Ghost suggestion, haha! Some finagling might be needed here to keep things consistent across colours.

Anyway, the Night markings, where everything uses the black marking colour:

N + N = Night


N + T = Zebra


N + S = Cheetah


N + M = Civet


N + P = Flockpoint


N + G = Thylacine


N + K = Agouti


N + D = Okapi
