This thread is here to show off your Retired Coats. This is not the place to post non retired coats. **The two exceptions would be coats that have been pulled (brief discussions) and the pre release coats.

REMEMBER:

******** absolutely no sales talk, no talk about spares or how many extras of a copy you got and selling them to fund your RC habit this is just a place to talk RCs

* although links and graphics are ok on this thread, they are not allowed normally on public forums

* any negative or unkind comments on artists or coats (or anyone!) will be removed, and depending on the case, it might mean an instant forum ban.

* DO NOT use this as a place to sell your horse/coats-if you feel the need to break this rule, it will mean an instant forum ban...

** Sales ads are NOT allowed in any public forums. Asking for spare coats will now be considered a sales ad. This includes stating that you plan to sell a coat, or point out coats for sale in sales.

* Do not use this place as a spot for rants or complaints-About coats/BG/or each other.

* This is not the place to ask players to price your coats, or to ask others the worth of a coat, you can check uses on your own by hovering your mouse over the gray apple and price it from there.

* This is not the place to bring up the subject of stolen images. Keep in mind that the rules of the BP used to be very different, and many old coats are from that time.
There is not any reason to bring that up, or report the coats.

*Please do not do a coat countdown for soon to retire coats.

* Please do not post coats that are currently in the GA and have either not retired, or will never retire.

* Please do not post coat/bg combos or ask opinions on them, except following coat release.

* Some coats may be removed in the future, whether that be for problems with the coats itself or just because they're clearing room on the server to allow other coats to be uploaded - if you're buying retired coats, please keep that in mind. If you want a permanent copy, I would recommend saving the graphic to your computer

* How to discover who many uses a New GC coat will retire-There is now a coat countdown in the GA, and it will show how many have been used and how many uses there are left.

** There is now a new creations directory which shows all coats. Go to Community>>>Directories>>>Creations>>>Click more criteria, and on the left hand side is a gold and silver apple. Click the silver apple and search to see all retired coats.

* To see who created/how many uses/name/or if you have it already of a RC coat, simply click on the silver apple, and it will tell you.

*** Posting links to other player's coats is NOT allowed and can mean a forum ban.

*#*#*#* If players feel the need break the main topic rules, such as sales ads/coat countdowns/spares-you can expect an instant forum ban without any warning prior to it *#*#*#*

Art is subjective. In general, rarity, dates, and sometimes species can affect a coat's popularity. A 1-use 2009 RC is going to be more sought out than a 2017 700-use RC. But there are so many coats on the game that it's hard to place which ones are really most popular. It's also not something every single player will agree on. What matters is if you like the coat : )

True, you're right, it's just I tend to notice that some coats no matter the uses are super popular. For example: Lulakita or RobbinLara or Bughs or more specifically the RC coat Wind Dancer. It was more of curiosity due to who I've seen who've owned the coat (can't go into too much detail bc we can't talk sales). Personally, I like the coat because it's pretty and I enjoy collecting buckskin coats.

As said art is subjective. Any creation space limited coat will be popular due to the trophies element of collecting.

Generally speaking (take out the retiring element) i think the very professional looking realistic coats are always going to be the most popular as they have universal appeal to all.

Anything quirky/themed etc will always be subject to an individuals tastes - eg i love the cartoon style coats but unless limited use avoid what i call horse nasties (anything that looks half dead, overtly demon etc in appearance) and my absolute personal pet hate anything that is a hybrid.

Some players have colour or breed preferences too - again i generally favour coats that are palomino or dun (and anything that looks like a haflinger!)

And I personally love them, if they are well thought and made. When I joined Howrse I was pleasantly surprised by everyone their creativity. My favorite coats will be coats that are unique and have a good quality, nice details are always nice too. I like when you see a coat where the creator tried to do something else, other than the so common standing or rearing 'realistic' horses. I still love those as well, don't get me wrong! Eventually it is all personal taste. Like silence said, in the end, what matters is that you love the coat yourself.

I like the contrast of the white front socks against the blue coat, but not a huge fan of that horn. Pretty coat though!
I really like the horn. I think it adds to the horse's "nightmare" / "night time" vibe it was going for!

Pretty coat!

What appeals to me about the coat is the different colors of blue that is kind of glittery. Mainly the eye above the horn in white, the coat as a whole reminds me of Gravity Falls, or more specifically Bill Cipher. The coat? A magician cape. The eye? Bill. The overall feel? Gravity Fall's mysteries. Cx

Also, here's another wishlist I now have. Took me forever to find it, just happened to chance on the coat this morning.



Also, here's my second new one
