This sick bleach shirt I made. Something to showcase my undying love for prehistoric cave art.

Some of the bleach burned thru the shirt bc this was my first time bleaching anything ever, but it kinda adds to it.

An older painting I never got around to posting. I've always really enjoyed painting golden hour lighting especially on grey or white horses.

It's so crazy that a horse can be >20 hh and a human can be nowhere near close to that, and the horse will dutifully follow the human around

Fun WIP for wall decoration. The horseshoe belongs to the horse I rode as a kid and it’s a nice way to remember her.

Added some small flowers!

bicycles I saw on my way to campus today as horses

(in order: mustang because the saddle was very nice and reminded me of western tack, akhal-teke in polo pony gear, lusitano e-bike, and black tovero cob)

[snakes-stables]

I won't lie, this is exactly what I pretended my bike was when riding to school and back XD my trusty steed!

[cloudmancy]

three 'please draw my bike as a horse' commissions! breed choices and tack under cut:

The first one is a workhorse commute bike that is dependable, can carry a lot, and has been with owner for a very long time. I thought a carriage horse would be suitable specifically:

I had in mind a large draft breed - specifically the Drum Horse - for being large, sturdy, gentle, and very even-tempered. While a 'drum horse' is not a specific recognized breed like Shire horses, Shires are not allowed to have white markings like roan or piebald. So, Drum Horses are Shires crossbred with Vanner Cobs and Clyesdales to create any coat and marking possibility while retaining the Shire's distinctive leg feathering.

The owner of the mountain bike wanted an Andalusian, Mustang, or Lusitano with western tack and some leg protection. My concept was a red chestnut Mustang with saddlebags and protectors on the front knees.

The last one is a 'little three speed with pedal brakes like a kid's bike'. I picked a Welsh pony for her.

I do think this bike is still too big to be a Shetland! This is a Welsh Mountain Cob, and they're hardy and have excellent temperaments. They're good for lesson horses and children's show ponies. This one has a simple classical riding saddle and saddle blanket on.
