@ZaBravens@EddCoates Yeah! That's what happened with Call of Duty and an AI Santa boss. That's why AI shouldn't be used. Because it's too easy for QC or anyone else to mistake for the final art. I ran out of words to make my point clearer.
@g_origami@ordr1003 Ooh, I like the the centipede! It looks gorgeous. I had a similar structural idea once but wasn't able to execute it. Props to you!
@jjubokK Oh also, pigeons have a gene, also sex-linked, which determines wing patterning. The allele present here is probably the T-check allele, but it's a bit hard to say, since the photo is a bit blurry.
@jjubokK It's a polymorphism, morph for short.
Birds have two sex chromosomes, Z and W. The gene that determines color is found on the Z but not the W chromosome. This gene has three alleles, corresponding to ash-red (same as your sighting), blue, and brown (in order of dominance.)
@jjubokK If this pigeon is female, (as I suspect it is, though it's really hard to tell without seeing it pop out an egg or observing mating behaviors,) then any of this pigeon's sons will also be ash-red. The father of this pigeon would also have been ash-red.
