I have a black pastel - do I also want a cinny?

[rabernet]

Black pastels and cinnies make the same combos, except cinnies are far uglier than a black pastel IMO.
If you're working with black pastels, stay away from cinnies; they'll just ugly-up your line.

Would you call this ugly????





It IS a personal preference - I've always preferred cinnamons.

I have 1.2 Black Pastels and while I prefer Black Pastels over Cinnies, if the right Cinny (for example the daughter of the one above ) found it's way to my collection I would not turn it down.

Yes because cinnies rock!

Oh my god I have cinnie envy, I perfer black pastels but if the cinnie looks like that I would so trade a lesser for that IMO if you have both to make combos with you would appeal to a larger clientel.

Robin you have the most amazing animals

Heh heh,

That's right Robin - just confuzzle me further with that hot cinny.

Your lesser and the cinny are probably close value wise, but I don't see much point in having a cinny male a black pastel male. If it were a female sure, but for me at least, I would not add another single codom male to my collection when I already have something similar.

Actually over here the 151g lesser is worth at least half again what the 250g cinny is.

I am a bit male heavy as it is but if it had been an outstanding example I would have been tempted. At the moment I can't get a picture of it though as the gentleman is in Spain ( on his hols I suspect ) - i'd also be tempted if it were female.

I'll hold off on it until I can see what it looks like I think either way and if the lesser sells in the mean time so be it.

Wow, hot cinny! Did you produce it? I want one!!!

[rabernet]

No, I didn't produce him. Tim Bailey produced him.

I'd say hold out for either a female cinny or a male cinny pewter (or other combo). But wow. That is a CRAZY cinnamon! So now I don't know...

if only everyone had a hawt cinny. i find a hawt black pastel to be hawter than a hawt cinny.

some believe cinnys are the same as black pastels but a HQ black pastel would be really dark black and gold. a HQ cinny should be the color of cinnamon... (brownish and gold)

Is this based on fact or opinion? Just wondering because I personally find cinnamons to be more attractive (again a personal opinion) but, are cinnamons, beyond a reasonable doubt, considered to be more brown and less black than black pastels? At what point is a cinnamon considered to be black pastel in appearance and vice versa?

I also always saw my cinnamon (and other cinnamons as well as black pastels) as having a more 'warm/reddish' tone than a 'golden' tone compared to normals. Is this also just me?

To the OP, I don't think there is any detriment to having one of each, perhaps for any given season one of the males doesn't make locks, this way you have another male of a very similar morph to get the combos you want. I find cinnamons to have 'cleaner' markings, but there are unique and beautiful qualities in both versions of the morph.
