The back part of the foreleg is supposed to attach to the body right above the "elbow". This is because the joint there connects the scapula to the rest of the leg. Anyone who's seen a horse will know that the scapula runs flush with ths rest of the trunk/body, so you can't fit anything underneath it.
What Howrse did is add shadows to the clothes around that part of the leg, indicating that the clothes run underneath the scapula. This is physically impossible and it makes the top of that leg mimic a human arm.. which just doesn't work. It looks abnormal and out of place and ultimately ruins the horse.

Personally, I don't like seeing horses dressed like humans, so I wouldn't have had any interest in it either way. But the unnaturalness of this one puts me off on a different level. It just doesn't look right at all. If they ran the clothes over the scapula then it would have worked a lot better.

For some reason I always pictured Aphrodite with dark hair growing up, so while I find parts of the art pretty, she's naturally underwhelming to me because I would have preferred her with dark hair. But, I know that's on me lol.

I know there are some anatomical issues here but there are only a few divines that have hardly any pink, and she's mostly pink, so I love her anyways

She just looks very basic to me. There's no symbolism or anything that screams "goddess of love and beauty" aside from I guess the pink. She just looks like a palomino horse with weird anatomy dressed like a human. She could be anybody.

While they couldn't do some things that'd be inappropriate for younger players of course, at least the pose could say something like "hey, look at me, I'm the goddess of beauty!", like some popular GA coats actually do

While The New Samurai might not be about beauty that much, it still fits the theme for my with the confidence its showing. Something, not only the Greek *God* Aphrodite is missing. In my opinion, it may be better if she looked a little more like Apollo: proud.

according to that, new shroom should be Morchella!

... Aphrodite and a "this or that" poll between the Blast and the Merge event (with the Merge winning). Not much of a Tues--Wednesday spoiler day, sadly.

I like Aphrodite's design. It's more about her beauty than about the dress. She's in shape, her face looks stunning, and she does not need much accessories to show her extraordinary beauty.

Can anyone confirm if the new horned Zonkey things are going to come with a new trophy, or if they will just merge with the current trophy? Because if I have to breed 60 zonkeys, AND 60 horned zonkeys, I’m going to lose my marbles.
