Colour in an Equidius, write it a story, and perhaps you will be one of the lucky few to keep your lovely creation!
A Brief History
Humans have finally done what they have threatened to do for millennia: They have wiped out their own species, as well as many others. The earth is an eerie, silent place, birdless and covered with gleaming, glowing fungus, the only plant that can survive the heavy, toxic clouds covering the earth.
Most large animal species have died out. However, one has survived.
Deep underground in a cavernous series of caves, a small group of escaped horses (from coal mines of the distant past, as well as a lucky few descended from those which escaped from riding centers and farms) have managed to cling to life. They have shrunken over time, their legs have grown sturdy and their bodies suited for weaving through caves and over rocks. They have stayed alive by eating whatever grows in the caves, with the result that they are now blind, and see the world through strange, glowing antennae. They have also grown horns, the shape of which may vary, but which usually point downwards. After centuries underground, they are beginning to emerge once again into the outside world.
Only to find that they are not alone...
Rules:
1. All of Tess's rules apply
2. Do not steal anyone else's design.
3. No complaining, and please keep spam to a minimum.
4. Please read the history and guidelines so that you know what you are aiming for.
5. You are allowed to edit the lines, change the shape of or remove the horse, add antennae, change the mane and tail or even redo the lines entirely (this would thrill me! We need more lines) as long as you stick to the guidelines.
6. Please read the Equidius Page before designing one!
7. Equidius will not be judged without a form.
8. If you do not win, you do not get to keep your Equidius. You cannot use it for yourself, as a fursona or character, unless you have won it.
Guidelines
* Equidius have natural coat colours! These may be coats from other animals, but bright colours do not occur. The only colourful thing about them is the glow on their antennae, and their eyes.
*Their mane and tail length can vary, but they are usually rather short and scruffy to keep them from getting tangled in the caves.
*Horns can vary in shape, but usually do not point upwards, as this would be inconvenient in confined spaces.
*If an Equidius loses one or more of their antennae, their 'vision' becomes impaired.
*On rare occasions, antennae grow in places other than the head and rump.
