Postby King of Crows » Tue Oct 02, 2012 11:37 am

I am so horrible at drawing equines...I can't even begin. I'm attempting to develop a sort of African Equine creature, dwelling in the vast Sahara desert. They have very long limbs, 3 toes (each ending in a hoof), and have developed very large forelocks to protect their sensitive, near-blind eyes from the sun. They have horns resembling those of a giraffe, and long, rounded ears. They make up for their horrible eye sight with a fantastic sense of smell and amazing hearing. They have short backs, and a very flexible spine. They have a short, broad muzzle, and a small mouth.

Each Fall they migrate to the grass lands of Africa, were males will engage in ritual courting and fighting of one another, and the top males will be the ones to get to breed with the females. Each female will produce two foals at the beginning of Summer, and then will raise them for two years. At two years old, the foals will leave their mothers and go off on their own. They are considered adults as 6 years old.

I'll come up with more info later...if any horse-savy artists would like to art-trade or something to draw me a good set of reference lines for the species, that'd be awesome ;u;

Thank you so much! It really means a lot to me <3 I'm really bad at Equine anatomy, so this is a real challenge.

I do plan on making adoptables when I (or Mazbourne, when she has the time) can get around to drawing up some better lines...and thank you!

It's okay, I am horrible with equines as well, especially detailing. It does look great ^^

Yeah, they're very challenging to draw. Thank you!

Haha, it just turned out way worse than expected XD Thank you!

So, I sketched up a little sheet with some adjustments to make them more unique. They now have 6 legs (2 pairs of front legs, 1 pair of back legs), and long feathers falling over their hooves (because I hate drawing feet XD). But otherwise the same.

A lot of owners actually take advantage of the very large forelock and tend to stylize it, though a lot of them have naturally "stylized" forelocks anyways.

Very original ^^ I hope i can get one when they are put up for adoption. Lol I hate drawing feet too. By horse patterns, you mean like bay, chestnut, buckskin, black white and what not?

Glad you think so! Haha, you probably will be able to, I don't think they'll get so popular as quickly as things like WMEs and JBDs, but we shall see. And yes, though those are colors, not patterns XD Not just basic colors either, but rarer and lesser known colors like grullo (grulla for mares), black with a flaxen mane and tail (not sure of the official name for the color...), and things like that. And then patterns will be things like socks, stockings, cornet bands, snips, blazes, and of course paints patterns such as overo, tobiano, and tovero.


Well, I'm going to continue trying to come up with something XD Oekaki is difficult for me to make proper lines on, so for now I'll work with a different program to see what I can come up with...
