BYO Egg Hunt Sale - Ink Spot & Toner - SALE ENDS FRIDAY!
  • image
    It's egg hunting season and this time you get to dye your own. Satin, all Rainbow Riot, and all Nexus genes are available until the 15th of the month. Toner and Ink Spot are available until the end of the month. Make an amazing colored "egg"? Post it below and let's see what folks make. I will send a 500k hb prize to whoever makes the one myself, Haystack, and our artist Jenx deem to be the prettiest.

    In addition to the prior rainbow releases, I have also created a new gene:

    Rainbow Riot 2



    The prior rainbow riot gene was getting too crowded so this second one will allow you to stack up to 4 RR mutations onto a single horse. The new alleles are Toner, a subtle undertone shifter, and Ink Spot, a pigment-density dependent splash of color.



    image
    Toner adjusts the undertones of a horse's color. It only shows on diluted pigment. Creams, duns, pangare, champagne, and other colors that show diluted pigment will have a wash of random color in the dilute area. This two-tone wash from legs to the spine can even create subtle gradients of color. Keep in mind Tonner is often subtle. When it shifts warm shades like red, yellow and orange you may not see much change. Cool shades like green and purple are more obvious. Non dilute colors like black and dark chestnuts will NOT show toner at all. Double creams will show full pastel colors.

    Here is a liver chestnut P+ showing how the liver chestnut area has no color shift and the diluted area shows a rosy pink.
    image

    This bay horse has purple shifting on it's legs and some orange shifting on the belly but it is mostly hidden by the dark color.
    image

    This dark brown shows a subtle shift on the belly to purple.
    image

    Yellow shifting on brown is more dramatic.
    image

    This sable champagne shows a lot of tone shift.
    image

    Same horse as above with purple legs and teal shifted upper.
    image

    On a blue (black) onyx the dark areas stay dark but the light areas show color.
    image

    No tone shift is obvious on this black. Remember dilution is REQUIRED.
    image

    This sooty plus bay dun is orange-shifted and looks like a supersaturated bay.
    image

    The same horse blue-shifted looks more grullo than bay.
    image

    While normally you will see nothing on black P+ blacks can show toning.
    image

    Toner works spectacularly on chinchilla horses resulting in beautiful ultra-vivid gradient colors like on this bay.
    image


    A note on watercolor! Toner can be combined with watercolor for some beautiful effects but watercolor is very strong and can completely hide toner. Add it with watercolor carefully and stick to horses with dark darks and light lights for the best results. Here it is with a dilute onyx.
    image

    Here is that same vivid bay chinchilla from before with watercolor.

    Ink Spot adds pigment-density dependent splashes of a random color onto a horse. It is NOT a marking, it is a shift in the color of a horse's pigment. That means pale/diluted horses will have less intense color spots than darker horses.

    Here is Ink Spot on a cream champagne showing the dilution.
    image

    On a double dilute it vanishes completely.
    image

    On a full-color horse like this liver chestnut the color explodes and is super vivid and can even have multiple brightnesses as it interacts with different pigment layers.
    image

    and here on a bay.
    image

    Notice how the black pigment is being interacted on separately from the red pigment. That is what creates the multiple shades.
    image

    Toner can interact with watercolor but it is often hidden. Notice how the yellow inkspots on this bay water color are largely hidden on this blue shifting.
    image

    Depending on the color mix it might be subtle...
    image

    Or even totaly hidden
    image

    The more dilute the base the more other things like watercolor and toner will hide ink spot.
    image

    With vivids like this black, it can be pretty bold even with watercolor.

    So can you combine toner and ink spot together? YES! And they were created to do so but like with watercolor and toner you need a horse with dark darks and diluted dilute on the same horse for the best effect. In general, though be prepared to do a good deal of rerolling. Onyx and P+ are probably solid bets to combine with this. Brown and sable champ also seem to work well. Black-based Chinchilla seems to show it well.

    If you would like to see a full gallery of images of these genes I have saved you can click here. https://imgur.com/a/63x4z5i

    Because of the intense interaction complexity of these genes, I am willing to do a limited number of requests for examples of specific base colors. Please posts those requests on the example request post when I make it. Not here.



    If you create or breed any horses with these genes please post your favorites before for a chance to enter for the cash prize!

    “But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.
    “Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”
    “How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.
    “You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.” -Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 6
  • I am having SO much fun seeing what comes out from these genes.
