Antiqued


Examples 


 

 Basics 

Antiqued by Matriarchs-Haunt

Bullet; White The antiqued gene creates a dark overlay over the ketucari, accentuating shadows similar to antiqued silver.
Bullet; White In your ketucari's genotype, antiqued  is denoted by the letters "nAt" (heterozygous) or "AtAt" (homozygous).
Bullet; White In its heterozygous form, antiqued has a pass rate of 25%. Homozygous antiqued has a 50% pass rate.

 


Color and Shape

The antiqued effect should be created by using a darker shade of the base coat and creating semitransparent shadowing where shadows would naturally fall. (This may vary depending on the direction of the light source chosen!) The opacity can vary, as long as the base coat is identifiable underneath. Some degree of hue shift is allowed to create a more natural "shadow", as long as it is not so strong to parse as a different color. 


Range

Antiqued can cover any part of the body, but must be immediately recognizable.


Interaction with Other Markings

Bullet; White Antiqued covers all markings except white marks.
Bullet; White Antiqued may optionally cover white marks.
Bullet; White In combination with glass, antiqued can accentuate glass's highlights by creating metallic shadows on the ketucari's pelt-- the effect should resemble ahkal teke horses or polished metal. 
Bullet; White Antiqued can take on a much wider range of hues when combined with shimmer, to better accentuate shimmer's iridescense.
