Xanthos also look like a strong contender for being a trophy horse. Pretty, relatively liked, utterly useless.

So I was thinking about the new Sherlock divine and the custo coat, and I realized why they look so weird (to me). The clothes are so "skin tight"? Almost like they're painted on? Like, other than the skirts, the upper portion of the outfit is too fitted to the bodies. Not to mention there really isn't much detail. The collars and the ends of the sleeves don't look flat, but everything between those and the skirts do. There was a lot more detail in Watson's suit, so it doesn't look skin tight and flat, and actually gives the proper impression that there is a suit over top a horse body. Irene Adler doesn't look as bad as Mrs. Hudson does, for sure, but Mrs. Hudson is looking like a really smooth penguin.

I think some of the shadows might be ruining it? Because it looks like there is too much horse muscle definition that shouldn't really show through the clothes. Comparatively, Watson doesn't seem to have any muscle showing through his suit. I don't know, I could be wrong. But, I think they did a pretty good job with Watson, and I don't know why the others have fallen so flat (literally...), because Mary is suffering a bit, too, in the front. Her animations distract a bit from it though. I mean, I can only assume their clothes aren't supposed to be made out of spandex, right?
