I am regularly irritated by my inability to convey markings efficiently. It's just not my forte, though I want it to be so bad. Sorstan and Tjardek's markings and colors had been getting on my nerves for ages, so I decided to take out a little time to get it settled once and for all. Tjardek has retained a lot of mom's darker markings and patterning, but gained excess pheomelanin, white, and spotting from dad. Sorstan just managed to get more of dad's genetics than his mom's, which really makes him stand out. (Which doesn't end well at all.)
Here's the end result! And maybe it's just me, but I feel these two are far too pretty to be seen as ugly in the eyes of their Teirn tribe members.
Ginger 'nophs are best 'nophs, right next to melanistic 'nophs. (Which I still need to draw...)
I still can't help but think other folks would be better at designing pallanophs than I am.
