Let's Make the new Barn Buddies Tack Pack Together! - Closed
  • image

    You have long asked for animal companions for your horses and we are here to deliver but Jenx and I don't just want to add any barn buddies we want to add YOUR barn buddies. For the cost of 4 golden tokens (20 usd) we will create an animal for this tack pack inspired by your photo(s).

    Here is how this sale will work:
    -Starting from now if your account has 4 golden tokens already purchased you are allowed to post an order on this thread.
    -Feel free to post any questions you have here before ordering of course but to actually place an order you must already have 4 golden tokens.
    -When you place an order please clearly state "I am placing an order" and then tell us what the order is for. Please include photos of what you want your barn buddie to look like.
    -Based on the photos you provide we will create a barn buddy inspired by what you posted. We will attempt to match colors, markings, size etc the best we can but it won't be photo accurate. It will match the game's visual aesthetic.
    -If you provide a photo that is in a pose and angle that works for the game we will use that. If not we will pick something we think will work well. Feel free to post lots of reference photos even including pose photos of you want.
    -Standing, sleeping, and movement poses are all welcome.
    -Please keep in mind that these images are small and some details just won't work. We reserve the right to simplify as needed.
    -20 usd for a professional artist's time is very cheap. Please understand that because of that Jenx can't spend tons of time on every order. There won't be revision rounds or anything like that. We are making something simply inspired by your suggestion this is not a full commission.
    -Barn buddies will not have color change options in the tack tab.


    Barn Buddy Rules
    -Barn buddies must be real life animals. They can be whimsical but not magical. Yes to pink poodles, no to manticores.
    -Barn Buddies can be no larger than a great dane, and no smaller than a cardinal.
    -I was going to say land animals only but if you want flying birds for the cloud backgrounds or fish for your seaponies I am going to say that is alright as well.
    -Very simple accessories are allowed. For example a collar on a dog, or tennis balls on goat horns but we reserve the right to simplify or remove based on time and size constraints.
    Additional rule clarification: You can not make baby or laying down versions of animals to get around the size rules. You can make animals that happen to be babies or happen to be laying down, but the adult standing version of that animal still needs to follow the size rules.

    Sale Schedule
    -Jenx will start working on these once he is done with the Ranch Horse and as he has time for them. There may be a bunch done at once and then a long pause, maybe even up to 2 weeks between batches being worked on.
    -If the waitlist gets too long I will pause orders until Jenx can catch up.
    -We are planning on running this sale into August, not just during June. I am not guaranteeing a time from on when this will end. It depends on Jenx's schedule. All orders placed on the thread are guaranteed to be made into barn buddies though.
    -Order processing will not start before next week. We also have an all team vacation the last week of of July so expect no orders to be processed that week,
    -Barn buddies will be added to the tack pack as they are created.
    -The tack pack will be available to purchase once the first batch of barn buddies is added.


    Your order has been officially accepted once it is added to this waitlist. Waitlist order is first come first server.

  • Are you taking multiple orders from the same people? For example if I had enough tokens to get 3 different colors of rabbits added then you would add all 3?
  • If you have 12 tokens I am happy to take 3 orders from you.

  • I am placing an order x3.

    1. A chinchilla rabbit. All my chinchilla horses are named after him and he passed last June so this is very special to be able to do! Any pose is ok but he was a good listener so ears up would be extra cool. https://imgur.com/a/2Earsjp

    2. A white rabbit with brown and black spots (tortie English spot). Any pose is ok. https://imgur.com/a/4bYdYEZ

    3. A black Polish rabbit. He's miniscule and I understand if he has to get sized up a bit. Any pose is ok. https://imgur.com/a/VzBoOqe
  • I'd like to place an order. He is a pomsky so a bit on the shorter side. I can't get a good picture of him trotting, but he trots like a fox or a horse, high leg action and bounce. I'll keep trying for a picture of that. For now here is a few I've gotten to show tail placement, color, and markings.

  • Sitting is absolutely perfect with me. Can we get it with the tail curled? That is how it normally looks. He wouldn't do it at all while I was taking pictures!

  • I would like to place an order but I bought tokens before I saw the waitlist was full. Are you pausing orders for a bit to catch up? :)
  • Yeah she will open it up again later, I believe she's said in chat it will be available for a few months.
  • Yup once we catch up we will take more orders. I would guess towards the end of next week but I don't know what Jenx will be able to get to yet.

    I'd like something like those top 2 shots for a stancei f possible. The haircoat on the bottom two is what I'd like

  • All pending orders have been charged. Jenx and I are working on the Percheron right now. Aim is to get it done this week which means this waitlist will probably start processing on Monday the 23rd.

    For anyone wanting to place an order don't fret this event is not closing at the end of the month. There will be many more rounds of orders taken.

    Wirehaired Vizsla

    The top is the ideal but that dog is a female and lighter - the next two have the heavier bone/substance that is ideal for a dog. The darker coat on the last one is preferred as well.

  • I have two please

    Sorry pictures were really large, I deleted them until I can work out to make them post in a better format. Hopefully this works better.

    I have two please

    First is a red/blonde border collie, happy for you to choose whichever stance works best, I didn't have any good ones of him standing anyway!

    The second is a white goat, she is a feral wild caught goat (Australia) so not sure what you put as her breed lol, white goat is fine! I'd like her to wear her collar and dog tag if possible, but no big deal if not. My images aren't great, so a couple of generic goat pictures for inspiration, again whatever stance works

  • @OopsDotCom
    Do you have any other photos of the first dog? This isn't really useable as a reference as we can' t see anything about the markings or shape of this dog.

    The rough collie looks great.

    (The pictures don't work because you are trying to use a website as a photo. They are not the same thing. Just the links is fine)
