Brumbian Art!

Let's start the process of creating the base for the Brumbian breed! Congrats on the success...let's jump in!
To start the process, I will be working with you all in this forum to get specifics about what you want in your breed. Our workflow will look like:
- Campaign contributors and club members post reference images. Reference images can be to pick a pose, mane/tail type, conformation-specifics etc. When you post a photo let me know what you like the most in the photo. NOTE: Poses, conformation etc. have some limitations such as no rearing poses and requests must be true to life and make sense for the breeds cross %. Ex. We won't do a pony-sized base for a Clydesdale x Perch cross, that would be quite odd.
- After submitting ref photo submissions, I will look through and make a master list of everything that was suggested and post it here for review. At this time, you all can chat about what you want to see specifically. Ex. Morgans have a bridle path because that was a highly requested option and Irish Cobs have tons of hair because people valued that the most. NOTE: Should there be any aspect that isn't fully agreed upon I will present the best options based on my (or other artists) ability with input from the club president.
- Using the final list of requirements, I (or another artist) will begin the greyscale process and post the first draft of the greyscale here. With this, feel free to be a bit picky, add suggestions, and the club may also make large changes if all are agreeable (Ex. Turns out you all don't like the breed with a bobbed tail, you can change it to long etc.)
- Based on feedback, a second draft will be posted for confirmation that everyone likes the base. At this time, no major changes can occur but small or minor changes can occur.
- Once the second draft is approved I will move into the coloring phase. Here, I will open it up for you all to send reference pictures of the needed white markings (Sabino, tobiano, overo, etc.) and I will incorporate those as I can.
- Once all the coloring is done, Bedouin and I will work on the back end to make the breed a reality. This involves a bit of code and inputting.
- Bask in the glory of completing a crossbreed campaign and ogle at those beautiful ponies.
So, for now, post below reference images and details about what you would like to see in the Brumbian breed. :)
For the pose, I imagined something like this, with perhaps the head held a little higher? And the front leg lifted a little more so the legs aren't overlapping.
Edit: found a photo closer to what I'd like for the pose:
For the mane and tail, I imagined something like this, a bit thicker than an Arabians:
And for body type, something like this, with a heavier build than the Arabian but the same refinied head, and the neck still arched but more muscular. I especially love the shape of the head, neck and chest in this photo ^^ (I was almost tempted by the pose, but decided it's a bit too coplex)
I also did not get a notification when you made this post- could we perhaps have a discord channel specifically for club members during the art phase? I will make an announcement post here but I think discord is more accessable, espeically for notifications and posting photos

Bumping for more thoughts before I begin a final-ish draft :)
I agree with WirelessMouse on poses! Little bit smaller size-wise than the arabians, with a slightly blockier/less dainty build. Fluffy mane, like this (not sure yet how to paste in images):
Love the pose on WirelessMouse's second image 💜
Alright Brumbian lovers! I am here with our first base. Thoughts? Adjustments?
Oh my gosh YES! I love everything about it!!
It's not exactly what I had in mind, but ^ I agree with Emferno, I love it! I'm happy with that base :)
Edit: after staring at it for a while I picked up a few things I'd like changed; could the mane be a bit longer/thicker, and the highlight on the face also makes the head look a little too flat, despite the outline being dished. Giving it a slight curve might help and/or making the head slightly shorter.

I do like it, definately agree about having the mane longer/thicker might help to see about more brumby in it as it really reminds me of a pony Arab at the moment.
Otherwise looks good!
