I'm posting this thread to showcase the fantastic new colors I'm proposing in my Lioden Genetics Thread: Check it out!!! The Burmilla and Burmese examples posted here were rendered by the AMAZING Griff (#26694), the Chinchilla was created by Treori (#32108), and I'm very much indebted for all of the hard work put into each of these fantastic pieces! The other examples were made by me, so they're a little clumsy, but they're meant to illustrate the finer points of the Sliding Scale modification of my genetics model!

Without getting into the specifics of the genetics thread that inspired these, the basic concept of the color model is that the colors are arranged into NCL colors, Custom/Oasis colors, and Special/Raffle colors just as they are now, but there are two versions of each: a Solid version in which the color remains mostly the same throughout the body or the Ticked version in which the topline is darker and lightens in a countershading pattern where the belly, throat, and the feet are lighter in shade. From there, each genotype (genetic formula) will produce three shades of each color, namely a dark, medium, and light shade. I'm calling this part of the model the "Sliding Scale"

Because there will be MANY of these to share, I'm starting to break them down into sections that correspond with the color groups they belong to in my genetics model. If you like what's listed here, come see MORE:

Orange Colors of my Genetics Model

With that said, here's what we'd like to show you in greater detail than the lil' thumbnails on the original thread (colors written in blue are those we're trying to have added to Lioden):

The White Sliding Scale:



* Eggshell (Oasis/Custom Color): the light shade of White. (I did this one, so it's not nearly as nice as one of Griff's)



The Albino Sliding Scale:



* Anery (Anerythristic) (Oasis/Custom Color): the dark shade of Albino based on the "anery" partial albinism that removes all red pigment from a coat. (I did this one, so it's not nearly as nice as one of Griff's)



* Leucistic (Oasis/Custom Color): the medium shade of Albino based on light-colored Leucistic lions (a naturally-occuring dilution or partial albinism).



The other shades of these colors aren't ready yet, but these mockups of Griff's and Treori's are too nice not to share right now:


* Burmilla (Oasis/Custom Color): the medium, Ticked form of the Burmese inspired by the lovely cat breed:



* Chinchilla (Oasis/Custom Color): the light, Ticked form of the Burmese inspired by the lovely cat color:




* Burmese (Oasis/Custom Color): the non-Ticked form of the Burmese gene inspired by the gorgeous, iconic cat breed:
