Design Guide

Overview:

• Causes the secondary phenotype to display in the areas where all white markings would be.
  • On foals, Patchwork may be anything genetically possible from the parents. In breedings, it is automatically rolled for color. 
  • On imports, Patchwork is based on the main phenotype. You may remove genes found in the base geno, switch the base color (e/a genes), and add up to 1 natural marking/modifier.
• Rapunzel, carried genes, and oddities are not listed in the Patchwork phenotype.
• Coverage is determined by how much white the horse would have, rather than being subject to normal Chimera rules.
• The base coat will not have white markings, but the Patchwork coat may have white markings and show them that way.
• Affects everything listed under "White Markings" on the Visual Hierarchy page.
• Chimera and Patchwork cannot be on the same horse.​​

Interactions:

• Oddities* found on the base coat may also show on the Patchwork coat without being in the Patchwork pheno.
  
  • *This excludes Chimera/Patchwork itself - no Patchwork-ception, sorry!
• Marbled: When paired with Patchwork, Marbled will be present around the Patchwork areas as if it were still a white marking.

Ginger Tobiano Rapunzel + Wulf, Patchwork (Flaxen Chestnut)

Overview:

• Causes the iris and sclera to be pure black (leave eye shine on). Oddly enough, it appears most still have full vision.
• When designing Reaper, please be sure to color the sclera (eye white) layer black as well as the iris itself. The entire eyeball should be fully black.

Interactions:

• Gemstone: When paired with Gemstone, only the sclera (eye white) will turn black, while the iris will be affected by Gemstone.
