This week I was introduced to A Tale of Two Horses for the first time, and of course I had to try making designs for the horses!

Rainbow Basher:

Breed: Friesian Horse

Height: 18 hands

Coat: Sooty rainbow?

“The Horse”

Breed: Who knows. Mule ancestry?

Height: 15 hands

Coat: Blue Roan/Dapple Grey

I tried to research what horse breeds were used in battle (a ton were listed for carrying artillery) and turns out the Friesian Horses were used to carry knights in battle, because they were incredibly agile despite their size (and their strength helped with carrying heavy armor) And considering that today Friesians are viewed as one of (if not the) prettiest horse breeds, I figured it was perfect for Rainbow Basher! Also I made the blaze on her head resemble a shooting star, she originally belonged to Mabel after all.

For “The Horse” I aimed to make it much more ambiguous, like it had been bought from some farmer for its low price. I like to think it has some sort of mule ancestry, because mules are cool and it has the attitude for it. It’s on the smaller side, and the emaciation doesn’t help. Since the Car is blue, I gave the Horse a coat kind of like a Blue Roan’s, but at one point I accidentally inverted it and liked the Dappled Grey look I ended up with. It also has a white face bc it’s olddddd.

It’s been a while since I made these now, but here’s my designs for the SYWTBAD in Mlp!

These were all inspired by @alvie-pines’s mlp designs for Alcor!

An explanation of their cutie marks:

Thomas- an open book with a summoning circle. I’ve heard it said before that this is his zodiac sign on Alcor’s circle, so I thought it’d be good to make it his cutie mark.

Elisha- a makeup brush surrounded by sparkles . She loves to glam things up, and can find the beauty in all sorts of things. (Unfortunately that’s not always a good thing. Like with Charlie

Eddie- the pattern of a computer chip. I meant for this to be something to do with systems, like being able to understand the inner workings of a demon deal, but I’m not sure if it came across well. I thought that the systems would translate well from demonology to his later job at the video game place.

Brad- two hooves bumping with a flame above them. This was meant to represent deal-making, since he studied demonology but later went to work at his dad’s company. (I’d like to say that their jobs are not their passions, but that they happened to find jobs that suited their abilities)

Maria- two feathers in front of a burst of light. Maria is a very passionate person, so the light represents that.

“Tyrone”- a stack of books with pine needed on top. He needed a fake cutie mark for the dare, so he just threw together something “studious”. The pine needles were for a little personalization.

Elisabeth- a notepad, pen, and magnifying glass. She’s always looking into things, trying to investigate mysteries and such!

Also them w/out clothes

I just realised they make a rainbow when put in this order

Heavily inspired by drawings in the tau server, and by that I mean I basically took the designs and tried to make them in real life with mixed results

They're not finished yet tho
