Breeds looking Lazy/Copied

Vale [Basic || 304 posts] on 5/13/2024 7:33 pm

DISCLAIMER: I am NOT hating on the devs for any type of horse that they release. I am simply giving my opinion.

___________________________________________________________________________________
Has anybody else noticed that the Welsh Pony Cob (C) looks eerily similar to the Hispano Arabe? Or that the Irish Draught and Irish Sporthorses are literally the same horse with just a few minor tweaks?
___________________________________________________________________________________
What I don't understand is why some of these breeds look so similar. It gets extremely annoying when you confuse one breed for another (It happens to me so frequently I swear)! I understand that the devs might be working on something else, bugs, etc, but idk...

___________________________________________________________________________________
It just seems kinda lazy to make a breed that looks so similar to another. I understand that HoFa is currently looking for a new artist, but that still shouldn't be an excuse to make a horse that's just a cheap copy. If the horse is going to be rushed/copied/lazy, then just don't release a new horse at all.

Remember, I am only stating my opinion and not hating on HoFa, the horses, or devs!

if any horses look similar i would say it's quarters and appaloosas. i feel like it could just be me but i constantly mistake them for each other. comparing the art side by side, they do have distinct differences in muscle definition and body structure though.

@rook. Yeah it's a bit extreme. To me it's ridiculously overdone and does the opposite for me and makes me cringe.

 

@forgottenland, ya know that is a very good point. Low key reminds me how I struggle in real life with Shires and Clydes.

For the C and Hispano, I kinda noticed that their legs were similar (with the feathers and all that), their heads were kinda the same, and I feel like the pose for C is just Hispano from a different angle

To Redrookk's point, I think the TWH is pretty accurate with its stance, neck, etc. One of the reasons why I love the TWH is bc it was the first horse I had a trail ride on...I miss those days tbh. But i can understand where KatieLee is coming from. Not all players like the TWH, and that is 100% okay.

I hate the TWH stance. My horse has never naturally stood parked out like that and its so weird. I cant stand it. Haha he has so many pretty and natural gaits that would work so much better. I get wanting to differentiate the breeds but there are already so many that are similar, I think it could be done fairly well.

I'm aware of that, I just meant that the two had rlly similar legs, hooves, and heads.

i don't really get what the point of bringing up the feathers is then, sorry but i think i'll head out of this conversation as it's just making me confused.

I'm not a huge fan of the mustang art myself, I think it looks unnatural and a bit off. Again, no hate, it is amazing work though a little unrealistic of a pose.

just a girl who loves horses...
