Turn my wolf into a horse!! (50k + art pass prize)

So this contest is not going to be too hard for you. Or so I would think. XD
I already have a design and colors for my character but the problem is that he's a wolf and I want a horse version of him. I have tried to color him on to horse lines and just have not been satisfied with the result. I guess the problem is that his markings still look just a tad too "wolfy" on a horse, if you get my what I mean.

So what I want you to do is to "horse" him up a bit and make his markings a little more believable for a horse. You don't have to do a ref with custom lines or anything, but just revamp his design a bit so that I can color him myself.

PRIZE
50K and a one-time use art pass to be used at any of my future tag or signature sales
(I may be persuaded to increase the prize if I really like the design and/or you make a custom ref)

END DATE
Friday, September 16th
(with the possibility of extensions if there is still interest)

I reserve the right to end this without a winner.

YOU MAY
- use free lines
- use custom lines
- modify his design/markings
- ask me questions

YOU MAY NOT
- steal him
- sell your entry if you do not win (unless you ask me and I give permission)
- change his colors




This is Ravvus. He is a fairly timid fellow though is not shy either. As a wolf, he is the runt of his litter. As a horse I imagine him to be on the smaller side of whatever breed he is. I would prefer no heavy draft or small pony breeds.... something perhaps along the lines of Mustang, Quarter Horse, Welsh, or maybe a Friesian (because I like feathers lol) but not limited to any of those.

One question... Art pass? Sorry if this is a common term here, I am very new! ^^'

It means you get one free piece of my art at one of my next art sales, either tag or signature. If you don't want a tag or signature, then I'm willing to work something else out too art-wise. :)

its a big file, so click here to be able to see full zoom

I "horseanized" your wolf! I turned the grey into partial roaning, made the eyebrows a light grey around the eyes, added a pink nose to make the white face more realistic, and turned the white on the stomach area into sabino markings!

I did save a PSD version of the file, so if there a slight changes you want made, I would be more than willing to make them for you :)

I'm working on my entry for this now. :D

Oooh, thanks for the entry Wey! o.o

Can't wait to see what you come up with, Syrien! :)

If I catch up on my other things before sept. 16 I may give this a shot ;)

Ah, I see! I'll give It a shot then...!

Is it okay if I use a free horse creator? If so, I'd like to enter!

It certainly is, Raptorfang. :) I'll accept that as an entry. Just keep in mind that the colors need to stay the same, or as close as possible if you do use the horse creator.

withdrew..

I'll try and enter.

Awesome! Look forward to seeing your entry! :D

Raptorfang, I have seen other designs sell here that were made with DollDivine... so I am pretty sure that it is fine, as long as the art is properly credited, which it is. :) I looked at the DeviantArt page here to be sure and it says that they can be used and sold as adoptables - as long as credit is given. Though if I choose a winner that was created with the horse maker or anything similar, I plan to just color the same design onto another set of lines and not using the original DollDivine image at all. I'd be 'paying' you for the design only (which I'll still give you credit for ;) )

ok, thanks! I wasn't sure :)

I wish my tablet was working so I could do something more original...
