phenotyping YOUR warriors ocs!

on this blog, i aim to phenotype [identify the visual genetics] of any warriors oc right here on tumblr! this blog is heavily inspired by identifying-cat-phenotypes, so if you like what i do, give em a follow!

i do this in my free time as a fun hobby, so if i take a while to get to some asks, i may be busy or simply not feel like doing genetics at the time

i will also do hypokits between two ocs! show me the cats, and i'll phenotype them, then provide some potential kit designs for them! please tell me which cat would be the dam [mother] and the sire [father], or i can't properly figure out which genes go where

NOTE THAT I WILL MAKE MISTAKES SOMETIMES! i am simply a fan of cat biology, not a proper student or researcher or what have you! i'm here for a good time, not a completely scientifically accurate time also note that THESE ARE MY OPINIONS! you do not have to follow my assigned phenotype to a T at any point, this is just for fun!

AYE AYE CAP'N!!

hi everyonee back at it again with phenotyping my own ocs! this time i've got a couple parents and their kid, which lets me get into the nitty gritty of how i make my ocs genetically accurate heheh in order these are hazelstar, jinglehop, and bells!

hazelstar is a shorthair cinnamon classic tabby with high white! her being cinnamon is a bit iffy, the stripes are a little dark for cinnamon, but i don't car 💖

jinglehop is a shorthair cinnamon spotted tabby with low white! his stripes are a... bit hard to see, but this was the intent. the spotted tabby gene is a modifier to mackerel, and results in a sort of gradient from full stripes to full spots!

bells is a shorthair fawn/cream classic tabby tortioiseshell with low white! fawn is the dilute of cinnamon, making bells a dilute tortie! i still classify her as shorthair despite looking kind of longhair since that was my intention, i just tend to draw cats pretty fluffy

now... below the cut, i will discuss how i reverse-engineered hazelstar to make her parents as genetically accurate as possible!

Just know that you absolutely don't have to do all of them if you don't want to ! Feel free to only do the interesting ones

Sorry if headshots aren't enough to diagnose some of them, fullbodies are tiring to draw lol (I hope the differences between shorthair and longhair are noticeable enough)

Couple notes:

-the amount of white I put on their faces is around equal to the amount of white on their whole bodies, eg roseclaw & roachspring have high white, sandstone & pochardpaw have medium-ish white, etc. If there's white specifically not on the face I noted it below

-cause you already did roachspring you don't have to do him again lol

-pearlpaw has a white tail tip

-darkshine and spiderstream have vitiligo, i don't know if that would allow them to have natural blue eyes

-kestrelkit has a white leg

-stormfrost has no white, they have one of the weird blue eyes genes

-flameleap is a trans guy

Also.. could I maybe see hypokits of stormfrost (mom) and flameleap (dad, pretending that he's amab and could have kits)?

oh wowie!! a real challenge... rubbin my hands together like a fly

pearlpaw is a shorthair cinnamon self minkpoint with low white! was quite tied between mink and sepiapoint for her, but in the end, the color restriction is still pretty significantly lighter than the base

glacierclan under the cut!

Her ref sheet is on @moonlitepaws

I don't know if she a "Dalamation" cat or a tuxedo tortie!

assuming this is your cat! i don't do breeds [cat phenotypes/colors are entirely unrelated to breed most of the time] but i can phenotype her!

Fennelear, Oldest and only survivor from the first litter↓

Oddpaw, Janus Cat(I know a Janus probably wouldn't survive in the wild but it's warrior cats), oldest of the the litter↓

Emberpaw↓

Foxpaw(the brown/dark orange next to Oddpaw and far from emberpaw.. I don't have a ref sheet for him-)↓

OHOHO.... MANY KITTIES! what a gracious offering on this fine day!!

fennelear is a shorthair red ticked tabby with low white! love me a good simple cat every now and again

oddpaw is a longhair red ticked tabby with low white and a shorthair cream self with low white, as well as a chimera! congrats oddpaw, you are the most special cat in all the clans... chimera janus cat... the stripes on their longhair half are a liiiittle inaccurate to a real red ticked, but i opt for that due to red being a simpler color to assign this, and the lack of leg stripes ^^

emberpaw is a shorthair red self with high white! i opt for self on emberpaw due to the lack of obvious stripes mainly. there is some undercolor and darker colors on them, but i'm happy to attribute this to red just being kind of weird as a self color

foxpaw is a shorthair chocolate mackerel tabby minkpoint with karpati! admittedly, his stripes are very hard to properly see, but i'm assigning him mackerel for simplicity. also big ol white face gives him a big ol karpati gene!

Designed him when i was like. 12.. just do your best 😭

oh wow, i do love his design though!!

roachspring is a shorthair blue and cream self tortoiseshell with high white and a shorthair caramel self with high white, as well as a chimera! wough, lots going on with roach! a four-colored cat! chimerism is the easiest explanation i personally have for this ^^ i chose to pair the blue and cream as a tort solely because of this new color here- caramel! i've never assigned a cat caramel before, but since the brown on this guy didn't look particularly lilac or fawn, i went with the next best thing. caramel is essentially any dilute black-base color with the dilute modifier gene, but i imagine roachspring has lilac-based caramel personally! the cream isn't able to be paired with this caramel though, lest i turn it into apricot... and apricot just doesn't fit this color!

Hi I'm back with some cats! I've had them a while and I believe their names are Void (because of a prophecy) Sunheart and Gemclaws respectively!

SUPER COOL KITTIES!! love all their designs wowie!!

void is a shorthair red self with karpati! this is a VERY interesting phenotype. you see, 'reverse point' isn't really a thing in cats- unless you're talking about karpati, which is a rare dominant gene that causes some hairs to be white, especially around the 'points'. this seems to be the best explanation for void's coloring to me!

sunheart is a longhair red mackerel tabby colorpoint! opting to ignore the heart on their chest for simplicity

this is redpaw!! she's a longhair chocolate ticked tabby with low white! very silly to me she's a chocolate cat named redpaw

this is cherrywood! they're a longhair cinnamon spotted tabby with low white! she also has polymelia, which is a mutation where the animal grows extra limbs in the womb, typically fatal due to other health complications.

she is also a pixie-bob! i don't do breeds on this blog, but i thought that would be fun to share :]

lastly, gullbite! he's a shorthair albino! there's no other way i can phenotype him, since his albinism covers whatever could potentially be under the lack of pigment. fun fact: albino cats don't have red eyes-- they have blue eyes! for whatever reason [i have my theories, but haven't confirmed them] blue eyes are what happen when they lack pigment; it's the same in humans. their pupils appear red, however, due to the blood vessels in the eye!

slidessss in goldenflower.... it looking a little dry in here bud

HI GOLDEN!!! ty dinah my savior [wonder who drew that hmm.... :3]

nabbed her full image as well for some more clarity

slaps this girly on the table

I just made this morph and I wanna see what cat breed she would be

ooh pretty! i don't know breeds, but!

go my clovercall

hello your clovercall!!

im curious to see how winterfeather would genetically look !!

hi hello!!! ough the creatures...

akira is a shorthair black self with high white! howlingwinds is a longhair black self with high white! winterfeather is a shorthair blue ticked tabby with low white!

i'm considering winterfeather a ticked tabby due to the stripes on his face and legs! i also would've called him high white, but his legs have visible stripes, so i do not classify them as white. howling's vitiligo is just something i'm opting to call high white for simplicity ^^

Their name is weatherfur and flamingfur! I heavily stylise cats so I'm very curious as to how you would interpret them since I'm no genetic expert

oh they're both SUPER pretty!!! i love how you draw cats!!

weatherfur is a longhair blue ticked tabby with low white! literally blue this time! i give them ticked tabby due to their darker markings only seeming to be on their tail, neck, ears, and legs, which is pretty standard ticked tabby ^^

flamingfur is a longhair red classic tabby colorpoint with low white! i can't exactly see their colors very well, but i'm going to call the darker color on their tail just part of their point! i also give them low white due to there being no point color on their face :] i also give them classic mostly due to their stripes being much thicker than a mackerel tabby's

since you said you wanted to do hypokits.... have waxstone and slugheart [i thinkkkk waxstone would be the father and slugheart would be the mother. if they werent yk gay/j /j] anyways do with that what you will... sniles so sneetly

wow these cats gay! good for them good for them!! here’s some potential kittens :]

my diagnosis for the parents: waxstone is a longhair cream classic tabby with low white! slugheart is a shorthair blue self colorpoint!

the hypokits shown are just what i threw together, but here’s my overview: ALL toms will be blue and ALL mollies will be blue/cream tortie ALL kits are dilute tabby/self is split 50/50, all tabbies will be classic colorpoint chance is about 50% [molly 2 shown here was meant to be colorpoint, but i forgot that when drawing her. oops!] low white chance is also about 50%, otherwise they will have no white

i did throw some non-visible or carried genes in the mix just to make the kits more interesting ^^

could you do my girlie spirespeckle... sniles

HELLO PRETTY KITTY!!
