genuine question, how do those horses look similar? i've seen this opinion quite a bit before but never for those breeds

I mean, the ISH is half ID, so that kind of tracks? At least to me, that the ISH should look half one breed and half other.

As for C and Hispano? Their poses are just about the same but to me, that's where the similarities end.

I dont think they look all that the same. Meanwhile Azteca and American Azteca literally is the exact same art. 

I'll just come out and say it, I hate the Tennessee Walking Horse look!

Like Vale said, not hating on the devs!

They just look SO off to me: the backs are bent and unnatural, the pose is odd, the face is weird...etc.

I love the breed! But my Grandma has one and the game ones look wayyyy off.

THIS IS JUST MY OPINION

All of the breeds you've listed were drawn by the original artist, not someone random in the middle of the artist search. The Irish Draught is also due for an update/redo if I remember correctly. Lazy, however, is not a word I'd use to describe Solo or Solo's work. 

They're both pretty easily differentiated to me. 🤷 

@reddrookk, the 2nd one looks a TINY bit like the same horse, but the 1st looks very dif!

@KatieLee - have you ever seen TWH posed?


I agree that I'd love to see them in a more gaited motion, however I think Solo tried to make every breed unique in some way. Trying to capture what every breed is known for/popular for in one still image has to be difficult. If she'd just drawn them in a standing pose it'd be had to look at them and just know they were a TWH. Same reason the Saddlebred is in such a flashy pose - they all don't look like that, but you see it and can recognize it as a Saddlebred. I grew up with TWH and no, none of my family's were ever stacked/posed in this way. But! It's a recognizeable TWH pose, so it makes sense that it's the one that was chosen. 

@reddrookk, no I have not seen one like that.

Thank you fro making it make sense.

@rook, that one chestnut is making me feel odd, one above it makes me feel strange but that chestnut with the chrome on its legs is just giving me the heebie jeebies, it looks soooooooo overkill in that stance.

@Dusty - the third on his tippy toes looks uncomfy. I assume people with showing TWH go for the flashies/most exaggerated poses they can.
