[Updated] Black Pearl Clarification
flame48, so I have to pay with passes to submit? I don't have any and from what I have read, it is impossible (or extremely difficult) at the moment for me to get them unless I spend real world money, which I am unwilling to do. I'm stuck. Any suggestions? I only have two Lippizans and a half quarter half paint.

I just looked at your horse Kustiva, and you've got animations that actually work with the ray you've chosen. That's something you don't often see! Gives me hope you'd do good coats/landscapes LOL. Have a look in the game play forum. There's some posts on earning equus/passes there already. ![]()

Or by filling up the bar on the loyal Player's pass page (which is located on the right side of the passes page.) each time you log in and do activities in the game which gives you 10 points per day. There are many ways to earn passes without spending real money. ( You just need a bit of patience). ![]()

it said i neeeded pases which are really hard to get what i read said if you have a howrse over 30 years old you get a passe

Yes, if a horse over 30 years old dies and you send it to heaven (not safe haven!), you get 100 passes. You can get up to 1000 free passes this way, then after that you have a 1/3 chance of getting a pass for sending old horses to heaven, up until you hit 3000 passes.

Since I am trying to learn how to draw more realistically, I often look at photo references for the positions and shading of my own drawing. However, I always make sure to give the drawing a twist so I don't just recreate the pictures.
But this time I had a fun idea, however, I am not sure if this would be considered plagiarism by howrse, so I am asking just to be sure. I wanted to draw my own pony so I could have her as a GA coat on howrse, which would be awesome if the drawing made the cut. Now here is the problem: my drawing is an identical recreation of a picture of my pony. Would this be considered plagiarism? The copyright of the picture, the drawing, and of course the horse itself, all belong to me, but the picture of my pony can be found on the internet (on my own Facebook page). So I was wondering how strict howrse is in such a situation. I was also thinking of doing a few more in the future (of my other horses). I tried drawing my horses in an original position, but somehow they don't look like themselves when I do that. Also, they have some rather unique markings which are almost impossible to perfectly convey in another position. I hope somebody can help me out with this. ![]() ![]()

In short, my question is: can I redraw a picture identically as a GA coat if both the picture and the horse on it are mine?

If you have the copyright then you are not plagiarising someone else. Perhaps put a note on the Facebook picture saying you are submitting a version of the photo to Howrse? And make sure the picture is not too exact a copy of the photo. They don't like photographs. So I wouldn't try and get every hair the same...

Got the purple Fjord in today! Still a bit annoyed as I had a landscape done as well, on the template ready to submit, and didn't quite get a pass horse aged in time! Annoying as I was really hoping for some passes for Christmas! Have to hope the Fjord makes it.
Looking through what's up, there's some really creative new landscapes. ![]()

In short, my question is: can I redraw a picture identically as a GA coat if both the picture and the horse on it are mine? I have seen close referenced coats on Howrse before, and as far as I know, International Server is not against it. Seen some close referenced photos go through as well. Since you own the photo you have the right to decide if you want to do a close reference-coat or not. Even if someone may not like it, you own the rights to that photo. As someone once said: "you can't draw Schwarzenegger`s body, with Travolta`s head, change the hair to curly black and call it Johnny Depp. You created a Frankenstein, not Depp." Wish I could remember who said that >< I know I have been trying to finish this close-referenced project myself as well XD And as Rodwen said: make sure to put a note on your FB image and save some WIPS just in case. Photorealistic horses usually get taken down because people think they are cutout photos ![]() ![]()

What can I use to get the transparent background for a picture saved with a white background?

@RowanGreen, @Shishi no Seirei: Thank you for your advice. There are some things I've changed in my drawing (different tail position, simplified markings, more prominent eye-color), so I hope it will be clear that it is a drawing. I also haven't completely mastered photo realism, so it should be quite clear that it isn't a cut-out.
Thank you for the tip about the WIPS though, I always forget to do that and just rewrite my old files. For those wondering; this is the drawing of my lovely Yessie, who is nearing her 30's. (I hope it is visible.) What do you guys think? Any constructive criticism is always welcome (especially about the shading). ![]() ![]()

I love it! She looks a fab mare.
The only thing I'd say is perhaps lose the distinct dark border round the patch on her side? To me it looks like she's been shaved! ![]()

Your feet are a dead giveaway, as well as the tiny notch missing in the cannon bone in the hind leg on the left, from your lasso tool getting confused by the shadow. This would be against the rules to submit. ![]() ![]()

Thoughts? It's my first attempt at anything like this so it's not the best it could be

@bloodredarabian: Hi, there.
![]() I've found some WIP's from this project, so would you mind to take a look at them and say if I've done something against the rules? If I have done so, I will immediately cancel my creations in the black pearl (they are in the voting space, so I can still retract them). And about the legs: most of the legs of my horse were covered with grass in the original picture, so I had to improvise a bit without a reference. Which may explain why they are horrible ![]() Here are some WIP's: Line art (traced over my own picture). Yessie part A Applying the base color and markings. (I've seen how some people apply the markings at the very end, but I like to color and shade them separately.) Yessie part 2 Applying basic shade colors. Yessie part 3 I will have to search for some WIP's from the shading proces. As I said before, I usually kind of forget to save them separately and often save over the previous file by mistake. But I must have some left somewhere on my computer. Once again, if I did something wrong, please say so and I will immediately cancel my black pearl creations. It's the first time I send in one of my drawings to the black pearl, so I am still figuring out what is allowed and what is not. ![]()

Please let me know if the WIP's aren't visible, then I will try to upload them somewhere else.
