I'm not a horse person. I know nothing about horses. But I love Akhal-Teke horses. They look so long and weird (and shiny??) and omg their faces. Amazing creatures.

Yet another upload of older art. These are a more recent addition. I finished them back in March of this year as you can see on my Instagram account. This was my own fan redesign of the gen 3 Akhal-Teke we have in-game. 🌟

I actually really love the Teke model. Honestly if they updated the animations to be more like today's Gen 3 models, I think they would fit in just fine. My only other complaint is that I don't feel the metallic shader the SSO team used on them really works in-game. I see what they were trying to do, but I don't think the model's texture had enough "shine" added to them to really translate how bright the sheen of the breed's coat truly is.

My take builds off of what SSO's model already has going for it. I kept the face shape relatively the same, thickened up the neck, and gave the legs more muscle definition. I also decided to update the hair to imitate the current mane and tail styles used on the G3 models. Finally, I went as overboard on the shine as I could without making it look out of place. I planned to remake all of the coats we have for the Teke in-game, minus the magic variants. I also had a few extra coat variations in-mind that I planned to share as well.

The first color is the perlino. This is the term for bay horses carrying two copies of the cream gene. I used SSO's perlino Teke as reference for this coat, but I chose to keep the legs and ears closer to the color of the mane and tail as opposed to a dark grey. I just personally felt it gave the design more cohesion.
