Design my character!? [there shall be gifts] - Erthë - 10-19-2016
Hi guys!
I'm having some trouble with this character I've been working on. Unusually enough I have a very detailed and fleshed out personality concept but when it comes to looks, all I've managed to narrow down is conformation. Race, color and markings are continuing to elude me, nothing feels right so I'm going to ask you all for help!
I have a rough lineart here of the build; http://sta.sh/025qir2ockuc I'll be very happy if you use it but ofc you're free to use whatever lineart you want. :D
EDIT: in case dA goes down for maintenance like just now or other reasons, here's the .png again
Name: Raho
Gender: Stallion
Personality pointers: Serene, patient, quiet, stagnate, laconic, lethargic, disinterested, hungry, greedy, laid back, amoral, unscrupulous, cruel.
Basically, what I'm looking for is a 'deceptively normal' appearance. With that, I mean a design that is based on natural colors and patterns.
No metallics or vivid colors,
nothing that couldn't hypothetically appear on any living horse.
Exaggerating a pattern is fine,
exaggerating a color for clarification is fine,
eye color you can go crazy with.
Mutations are fine if used in moderation, ie no trees growing from the butt but
minimal feathers and scales are nice :D
THINGS I LOVE
Albino colors
Wings
Horns
Cloven hooves
Lion tails
Hybrids
Minimalism (wouldn't think so looking at this list)
Braids
THINGS I LIKE
White's and black's
Dun markings
Solid colors
Toveros
Appaloosas
Silver dapples
Batwings
Feminine looking dudes
Accessories
THINGS I DON'T ENJOY
Many clashing colors (four is the upper limit)
Overly busy designs
Tribal or 'tattoo' markings
Skull face (it's gorgeous but there are so many already)
If I end up picking your design you will receive an item from my prize list as thanks! (Though I might not pick any design, hope no one cries.)

Totes entering if we can do photomanips of our design x3 Like a refer sheet manip
RE: Design my character!? [there shall be gifts] - Erthë - 10-19-2016
Absolutely! Any medium is fine, I assumed most would draw bc that's quicker than manips haha.
RE: Design my character!? [there shall be gifts] - Hector - 10-19-2016
XD drawing takes me longer. I could probably get out a simple ref manip in 2 days or so xD
