I'm in love! Saikiyo I need a story on this litter now!

I think I got the idea because violin bow strings are made from horse hair, which is why the violin horse has white hair. Then while thinking of the violin's design I thought just doing an all brown horse with just an F-hole (yes, that's really what it's called) on its back would be kind of boring. I got inspired to mix it with natural markings because the violin was pretty close to a natural horse color. The violin horse is based of a buckskin with white socks and a star&strip


That pps there is an appaloosa and sheet music blend. You'll notice I used a bass clef rather than the more commonly used treble clef. I played bass clef in Jr. High so I have a slight bias towards it, lol.

The grey dapple is based off a flute, specifically a black and silver flute. I have the keys going down the back to look a bit like a spine. I had never done a dapple texture before now, that was a steep learning curve.

Lastly the black piabald piano. This one ended up being the most organic of the bunch. I didn't want to add unedited piano keys as they're very geometric and would look great on such an organic pattern. It was tricky getting the keys to distort into natural makings without making it too busy or the transition too jarring. By the way, the black marking the keys are in curved like a grand piano and along the neck are tuning pins.


I was thinking of doing a saxophone and french horn, but then I looked at the instruments and decided against tendonitis.

I love music based pets in general and was already loving them, but hearing this really makes me appreciate them so much more!
Thanks Saikiyo

Possible idea for future instrument-themed pets: Eastern dragons made to look like various horns? I think their twisty bodies would be easier to turn into horns than a horse. lol

Honestly those horses are absolutely amazing! I'm a huge band nerd and it makes me so happy to see music themed pets.

this month's faves ♡ typically im more keen on grown ups but the two PPS have my heart. The pink pup is definitely #1, and has been since its second stage. There is something so warm and lovely about him, i just adore the colour, the pattern and the little smile. As for the draft horse...I am not a fan of horses irl (im terrified of them) and i do not particularly like the horse linearts. The drafts I dislike even more. But this design managed to catch my eye in its second stage and kept my attention enough to warrant it a special mention in this month's faves ♡ thank you to all the artists for all the lovely work you do, i really enjoyed all the litters this month!!

all the PPS this month are to cute D:

[VermontVampyre]

took some doing and some soul selling (darn that pps fox) but I finally have all the pets from this month I don't know which ones are my faves....well except I find the pps sheet music foal completely adorable <3 Can't wait to see what July will bring for gorgeous pets....

I was really hoping the last horse would be a little conductor. I don't normally keep horses, except pps ones. He's still cute though.

[Sixx O'Clock]

I think my favorite pets from this month are these:

The fox especially. I love the little leaves on its head, and I've always thought that pineberries looked really interesting. I'd love to be able to try some sometime. c:
