Very pretty! I agree that different face types should be allowed because not all Arabians have a very extreme dished shaped face. According to the Arabian Horse Association though a "roman" nose is major fault IRL so they are not allowing them here.

Adding onto heathers comment, I forgot to add that although the bridge is high, it shouldn't look roman, it should be sharp, giving the flared effect.

That's the exact image I based my Arab remake on sweet I think that has a more graceful face than the fully dished Arabs! And cannot wait for more pictures. Keep it up!

Aw, why can't you enter the Hanoverian Stallion show? I know the stallion I made you can be registered...

I think he is nearly perfect but I do see a slight difference hmm what if you just said it's a different strain of Arabian and provided a picture Odessa? Oh and Vienna Paint A Dream is registered My apologies I didn't get her app in as fast as the others I lost it in my draft menu for a bit there.

XD I originally wanted all my Arabians to be from different "bloodlines" like Domestic, Spanish, Crabbet etc. but a roman nose is majorly faulted.

Dang rofl that's what I would have tried too xD dang so can't you fix the nose? :/ I like your horses a lot so it is quiet a bummer. What tools did you use to make your mane and tail? The shine is cool but I'm trying to add brown texture/detail to my mane and tail this is my boy Haafiz Emir I'm in progress with Please let me know what you think and any tips

Heather > it's not that i couldn't get my hannoverians registered, it's that they should have been registered before april. That's kind of impossible now... I haven't got any hanno stallions registered yet. Though I don't understand the rule, because I would register (or atleast TRY) my horses anyway - not just to get them to the competition... things. But yeah, the picture of the white arabian I found from wikipedia, and there was nothing said about horses head being improper. So I don't think it's improper, and I'm not going to change it. End of story. Katie > oh, what a lovely fellow you got there! Let me show you some basics. Highlights is what you called "shine". Don't use it too much, just little touch of lighter color is enough. Base color should always be little lighter than the other two, what I call details and color -colors. Detail color in this case is almost black, and I would use it to do all the details (single hairs). Color is always some other color than the three others, in this case it's blue. With white horse it probably would be yellowish. This one you might want to use sparing, because it is easy to go overboard. Otherwise, seems you got it under control! My tip would be that take the colors from the horses original mane and tail, before you paint it over Just three to five colors (including highlight) is probably enough. And then practise a lot!

Wow Odessa, those pictures are stunning! I'm in awe of your talent in mane / tail drawing as well as the eyes, they look incredibly beautiful I wish I could do stuff like that, but although I have a graphic tablet I'm missing the talent and the knowledge, I believe. I can't stop to stare at your pictures, and you know what the biggest compliment is that I can make you? They make me want to own an Arabian. Nothing against that breed, but normally its totally not my thing, so... Your pictures are great. And for the registry, well, you register with equus-sims I hardly believe that there are any larger registries than the hano and arabian. I can understand that you are angry that your arabian wasn't registered, but I can also understand why. It's easier to agree on one body / head shape, that way also the breed stays the same always and its easier to tell the difference between the breeds. Maybe you could register your arabian with another registry like the anglo arabs or shagya, I don't know, as I said, arabians are not really my breed. I'm still thinking about buying one though...

I think if you just lower the bridge height a bit on all our horses then they could be registered. If you really want to participate with the community via showing and such then your horses will need to be registered otherwise some people wont buy from you because of the registry rules.

Well I would love to see a cross of Anubis and one of my mares just because

Heather > I know! I'm clueless, I don't want to change my horses because I like them the way they are, but at the same time i want them registered - 'cause the reason you mentioned.
Katie > Now afterwards I read my post and I find it very confusing! I hope that my instruction made sense to you... I'm not good making tutorials or advising people with these kind of (or any kind of...) things. But I'm excited to see your finished picture!
