No no no please :c
I love it the way it is <3 I prefer two different linearts, I wouldn't like the horses if they were all the same xc
I'm not saying I dislike The newer lines now, don't get me wrong they are great, but I really so love the old pony lines more than nows ones :\ Even if you were just to change the horses for it would be a lot of work to convert them into the newer lines to :\
I'm also not wanting to change the PPS Foal lines No no no , not unless we can see what the lines are first though :\
Though I am all for the new draft lines! I think they are much more finely detailed c:

But for the ponies at least, no :c :c
Not too happy with the idea..

Guys, there's no need to get upset over such a topic.
In the end, these are just pixels, aren't they?

I don't really like changing the line arts..well I think the drafts would look a whole lot better changed but I like the equine version of horses a lot better than our current horse line art :(

Check out Brabants, Jutlands, Comtois, and Ardennes horses and get back to me about the stocky thing.


I've seen those (; sorry, but I am not going to be convinced that the new and supposedly better drawing of the draft is completely accurate. To be fair I dont love the old lines either of the drafts but the new ones are out of proportion so that makes me rather have the old ones.

If you've seen those, why did you even waste my time in the first place. You would know how stocky drafts can be, so why would you try to tell me all the ones you've seen aren't muscled?

I have to admit, this is probably the worst I have seen any of us clash heads. :c It's kind of scaring me in a way. I can't see why people can't take the time to think about the other side before slamming down more hate posts. x ~ x;

I took into consideration many many things, but right now everything is starting to get out of hand or is repeating.. or, it's something so pointless... like ranting about how big a draft should be. ; A ;"

We all need to step back and take a big breath and maybe eat a few cupcakes.

Sorry, you just assumed that I did not know. I know how stocky they can be but I also know that a majority of typical draft horses are simply not as extremely stocky as the one posted. I was simply stating my opinion about the new draft lines, that was all.

~TGenie- wrote:Draft horses are one of my top 2 favorite breeds of horses, I have seen a lot of them in person and NONE of them look quite as extreme as the picture you posted. They were all more slender than that, I think the picture you found was just the most stocky one you could find...

Actually I literally looked up draft horses and picked something from the first row.
And if you'd like, I can give you many more examples of thick drafts. There are some that aren't as stocky, but many are. Just give me the word and I'll provide examples.

I don't need examples, I have seen enough in real life to know that the specific one you chose to show is not what most drafts look like. I even did and internet search for draft horses and there was only 2 out of I don't even know how many (and that 2 includes the one you showed) that were that muscled.

Keep in mind that you are not the only person on here that is familiar with horses, draft horses in particular. You are not the only one who has seen a draft horse, and if you are familiar with this type of breed you will understand that there is not just one type of draft.

There are a HUGE variety of draft horse breeds, all bred for different purposes. The horses you see in parades and budweiser commercials are very different horses from the drafts you'll see, say, working on a farm.
To me, Equi's horses look more like carriage horses. Horses built to pull wagons are usually MASSIVE, long-legged horses. They're built to be strong, but they're also bred for looks. These horses usually look like normal horses, but larger and more muscular.
Image
Image
Yulynh's are much closer to working-type drafts. They're stocky, THICK, and friendly looking. These horses are specifically bred to be good natured (an animal that can pull this much weight better respect you, or you're doomed) and strong. They look like big horses that were squished down. They very thick, powerful animals.
Image
Image
Yulynh's linearts definitely reflect this, right down the the determined, friendly look on their faces.
Personally, I'm a huge fan of this lineart and think it represents a draft horse perfectly. Just not the draft horse you have in mind.
