This is excellent

It's pretty true to realism, as much as you can get with a line

Thats beautiful ! Will you be doing "typical" tail sets and manes also ?

Lovely! I love the high head and tail set. I always missed a high head carriage but I could see it would be impossible with the frame size. Is this going to be a new horse type in the game?

At this point, I am pleading the 5th to all questions. :D

If I absolutely had to make a criticism of this (if this is going to be a new horse weight in the game), it would be that there's a very slight amount of perspective to it towards the rump, whereas the current horse outlines are very square-on side shots from end to end.

Love this! I think it looks wonderful

Like @Starstruck2 said, I feel like the neck should be thinner, especially towards the head.

I feel like it more resembles a hackney pony with the proportions (maybe the back length?) but then again hackneys and saddlebreds aren’t that far off in looks and body structure.

Also, the jaw could be better defined to help give it that refined, delicate look that saddlebreds have.

Honestly, I wish I had a quarter of the artistic talent it took to draw that ^:)^

I don't think that's it. Even when I erase the far back leg, to me anyway, the hindquarters and near back leg still look like I'm seeing them slightly from the front. Maybe it's the line of the stifle and the flank that's doing it? The gap between the line of the muscle and the outline makes it look to me like I'm seeing part of the front of the leg. That line doesn't merge in with the outline of the leg like it would full from the side.

ETA: And maybe fully from the side, the top of the rump would be slightly flatter.

Love!! So beautiful

Posting photos helps a ton to show us what you want it to look like. They are great!

Is it a problem that there is an angle to it?

It just means that it is slightly different than the other line arts for the game in that those all seem straight on. It gives the impression the horse is bent or looking away from the camera. If this is for a new bone type or horse art, I just expected them to be all in the same "camera angle". Its not a bad thing, just wasn't sure if tack will be used and how it will appear.

I actually greatly prefer the sideways angle to it :) The only thing I noticed was the jawline gave me the impression it was looking away a bit.

Gorgeous linework!!

Updated line art based on your feedback from all 3 servers. I have hidden the prior line art so as not to impact your impression of this one.



(note the muscle lines are to help us with shaping and not final)

Also please note, that while we are taking feedback on this, we will not be making any major changes at this point.

That looks good! :x

I love the changes. :)

We won't be making them perfectly square because of how much people like seeing all 4 feet. :)

We are not interested in moving it at this time. This is how many reference images of saddlebreds are stood. Not everything needs to be a perfectly squared-up halter stance. :)

Looks awesome, really exciting!

We appreciate everyone's feedback. At this point, we are finished with this image and no longer making alterations to it. We have moved on to our next set of line art.

Looking great. If you do decide to modify, a simple line adjustment of the hindleg will help with some visual balance. The slope from the stifle to the hock could be moved back so that the legs don't appear thick and stiff. Other than that I think it fits well with the current game art, and is drawn in such a way that it could pass for a number of different gaited breeds.
