Welcome to the MSD Artist Competition! Here the prizes are spots as artists on my species, Maned Storm Drafts.
What are Maned Storm Drafts?
Maned Storm Drafts (also called MSDs) have mysterious origins, but what they produce is anything but. These large draft horses work in herds to produce the storms that have plagued the skies since the dawn of time. They are at least as intelligent as humans and have their own language, but a radically different society in which they live in the wild. Physically, they resemble large draft horses with a somewhat canine pelt and anatomy, with a stiff, fluffy mane and tail and a thick wolfish pelt that shields them from the cold and the damp of the condensed water of the clouds. Their colors and patterns vary, but mainly are similar to the colors and patterns of horses and wolves. Maned Storm Drafts have large, sharp eyes and long fur, especially on the chest, neck, cheeks, and ankles. When they produce storms, they do so by magic produced at will. They have always made storms due to the fact that they feel on the physical energy produced by thunder and lightning. Maned Storm Drafts are not easily tamed or caught, and people rarely attempt to- they resemble the greek myths of the equine storm spirits, and most likely such myths were formed off of seeing them. They are intelligent enough to accept shelter and medical assistance from humans when they need it, however, and may welcome you into their herd. Will you accept their invitation?
I'm looking for 1-2 artists (for original designs), 3 breeding artists, and however many guest artists I deem worthy. This number may change if there are more amazing artists, however.
