#New Pheasant Plumages + Tail Adjustments

12/19/24: These are just some plumages that aren’t featured in game that I figured would be nice to see at some point.

The first would be a a common similar to the molting or grey in rarity, I’ve always called em greens as they are similar to greys but with duller lesser coverts and more green than grey on the rump, they also commonly have a white band around the cap of green on their heads.

The second would be a rare similar to the albino, mela, and leuci. They are known as buff pheasants and are a color morph of ring necked pheasants.

Both would only be on the males as from what I can tell it seems whatever gene makes the buff color is only noticeable on the males.

Added 1/1/25: Also a small model adjustment that would be nice would be to either lengthen the main sickle feathers on the males or shorten the secondary sickles cause atm they are far too close in length which give the appearance of a poor trophy, additionally adding the retrices 4, 5, and 6 (might be able to get away with just 5 & 6) would help fill out the tail on fanned mounts as well as potentially helping with the sickle length issue.

Possible new grey plumage variation.

Green brown? Idk others can prolly come up with a better name haha

Proper trophy tail vs current in game pheasant.

#

But I’m not expecting this anytime soon since the release of the g1 pheasant just happened

Very quick and rough mock up of what a green could look like with above suggested model changes compared to the current common brown (right)

(I slightly lengthened the main sickles and shortened the secondary sickles as well as adding the r4,r5,and r6 tail feathers)

Thought of one other plumage that isnt included after looking at the current grey version in game, the current version is completely grey which is good, there are birds like that.

However it would be cool to have the other version as well where only the rump and coverts have the grey.

Could also make it so the current greys become an uncommon and the new one could be replace the current grey’s common slot,
maybe it’s just my area or they’re just common in Europe but I’ve never seen the fully grey birds irl while I see the “partial” greys fairly often.
