Is it just me or are my pastels kind of odd?

Reminds me a bit of my het pied pastel male. Mine has almost a calico look to him, even more so than yours. I have wondered if it has something to do with the pied gene influencing pattern.

Thanks asherah fot sharing the photos of your pastel het pied male! He really does almost look calico. I even asked the breeder i got my make from last year if he had calico in him and he said no. I tried looking up photos of other pastels but yours is the first i have seen that looks like my male. Have you ever bred your male? My male has, as far as i know, sired 2 clutches. One for his former owner (GetMorphed) and once for me. He has not produced any pied off spring, but has strong pied markers on his belly. And the offspring i have from him are all starting to get his white sides. Maybe it is linked to the pied gene?
Anyone have a pastel with high white sides thzt is Not het pied?

Thanks,
