Hello Cobian lovers!! Congrats everyone on creating a new crossbreed! New art is set to come your way but first, we need to start the process.
I will work with you all in this forum to get specifics about what you want in your breed. Our workflow will be:
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 breed 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 suggestions 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 Thunderbolts ability with input from the club president.
Using the final list of requirements, Thunderbolt will begin the greyscale process and sketches of the pose will be posted 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 head turned toward the viewer, you'd like it facing forward.
Based on feedback, a second draft will be posted to confirm that everyone likes the base. At this time, no major changes can occur but small or minor changes can occur. Ex. You want the eye facing upward vs. forward.
Once the second draft is approved a greyscale will be completed and we will move into the coloring phase.
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.
Note, with the backlog of campaigns and upcoming breed redos we expect sketch and greyscale phases to take up to 4 months. Campaigns are currently at the top of our to-do list for the next bases and will be added to our queue alongside the next breed redos.
We are in phase 2. Please post references and ideas by March 3rd.
Hello! Here's the updated sketch - I've put the head a little bit down, I've edited the neck to be less upright and the shoulder to be more sloped, I think that the neck/shoulder was the problem area that made it look a bit like a Friesian.
I've also made the feathering thicker, wholly covering the hooves.
Let me know what You think about the edited sketch! It's the second draft, so small revisions are okay at this stage.
I would, but it sent a blank. Oops!
OH THERE WE GO. Thanks browser 🙄 yeah that works.
