The pose is a little weird, but I do like the overall appearance.

I didn't even notice until you pointed it out haha but you're right. & about the being able to see through the helmet

is his head stuck to his neck???

I just can't unsee the fact that he's prancing like Pepe le Pew. I can't.

Horse hopscotch

Every knight is busy with the quest and then, trailing behind, boing boing boing boing boing

Oh great, and I forget the spoiler tags. Well just delete it then

Spoiler Wand waved !

I was just thinking he appeared to be going boing boing boing like an antelope. LOL



PS: I keep forgetting to say... I do love it that they gave Merry Christmas white markings!

Thank you Raf's Mum

I understand what you are saying RowanGreen but we have BP artists that could knock this out of the water on a bad day. And the game artists are being paid and presumably have degrees and state of the art equipment etc.

They might be fantastic at industrial or WoW or CoD type art but this is a horse based game so surely being very proficiant at designing and creating new horse based concepts should be a very basic requirement?

Yuki = torso too long, near fore out of proportion, chest hidden by cloth.

Lancelot = Teeny, tiny eyes, hind quarters and legs at some impossible angle given his movement, chest not wide enough for the bulk of his neck and head.

LotL = Off hind at some strange angle, tiny eyes again.

I've jiust gone through Ow's production, all divines are released there first, right?, and we haven't had a decent horse horse in over a year. Quindecim is superb but he's part mechanical so.. In fact almost every divine released for over a year has been dragon/monstrous/almost fully hidden behind a costume of some type. I haven't gone back further.

I know there are odd little conformation/artist faults with other series', Gems, Rainbows etc, but that seems more forgiveable because they are plainly horses with little quirks. If the latest ones with 80% coverage/other creature bodies still can't get the small percentage of horse visible correct then what hope is there?

Knock this out of the water? What does that mean? Is it even a thing?

I think I meant knock it out of the ballpark.

Ooohh, just Googled - blow someone or something out of the water
phrase of blow

completely discredit someone or something by far surpassing them or exposing their flaws.
"I thought the first season was good, but season two blows it right out of the water"


Ha, God bless my jumbled up idioms brain

Oh no! I immediately noticed the hooves...their all different sizes

Jumble them up - they are much more interesting that way

My current favourite saying is one from my boss, who regularly tells me he has *lots of irons in the fire, but he is keeping them all close to his chest *

As a total non-graphic non-drawing person, I do have favourites, and those that are not so likeable in my eyes. I loved the original Gypse graphic, not so much the new version. And I miss the bucket and spade UFO

Eek typo! Save my spoilers!

*lots of irons in the fire, but he is keeping them all close to his chest * Haha, brand that man good and proper

Bucket and spade UFO?? I don't remember that! Although my middle aged brain still has to correct me sometimes when I think the box of equus UFO is the PoC box UFO from back along

I love my Rainbows and almost all of them have one or two little parts that could be slightly improved. But because I loved the concept as soon as I heard of them, and was determined to have them all, I love them all. That's the only series in my Howrse history that I wanted right from the off. Until the Grails came along. Maybe I built them up too much in my own mind but with the advances in technology and abilities I really thought they would be exceptional. I've seen better looking horses on games that aren't even horse based so expectations were high. We hear it all the time about our horse breeds art here, same template for multiple breeds, little character in each of them, specific breed/type conformation being ignored, same old same old, rinse and repeat. Sigh.

Gypse had to be reconstructed every day with spade and bucket. Then you'd get some sand to use as skills

The bucket and spade was the UFO that was triggered when you went to Gypse's page the first time that day - the event he was released in was all about sand, and we collected sand from Timers to earn stuff, and the Gypse was in flash sales, which I think was the first time the flash sales had appeared. I freely ( if a little bit geeky ) admit to spending wayyyy more hours waiting for the divine to appear in the sales, and trying to click first ! He had cute little starfish and things on his coat, which I loved. I got him a sea based background, which doesn't make as much sense now he is Gypsum !

I suppose we all have favourites, and I think I enjoy finding HR's for them, but yes, some of the graphics always seem a bit out of focus, or odd in some way. Mind you, given my lack of drawing ability, they are still amazing !

Thanks for the info guys. I was intrigued so turned to trusty Google and found a YT vid.

SS of old Gypse



Ahhh, simpler times. I remember when it were all fields around here

I think of my Brave Purple as Giraffe Horse.

I do dislike how the last few series any horse bits have a tendency to be sort of sludge coloured and dull. A few more definite horse colours, markings and maybe even some shiny coats would make a big difference.

Are you kidding me!!!!!!

Wow . . . so different back then!!
