MUD MONSTER IN THE MAKING

Featuring Fire & Aurora

No refs used (!!!)

I'M ALIVE \o/

Been absent for the last few weeks due to real life being absolute chaos but I finally found some time to draw ! I certainly won't be drawing at the same rate as I used to from now on, but I'm still excited about that new baroque stables of mine so I'll make time for it when I can :3

Fire & Aurora, my cherished babins <3

Even though Roseraie is focused on baroque breeds, I couldn't not include Fire in it cause she's my best babe and I love her way too much <3 Still gonna be the same hyperactive mess she's always been, still Raph's partner in crime, though I did change the placement of her scar cause it's more convenient to me. Also bringing along my new wonderful Warlander mare Aurora to be just as much of a ‘main character’ as Fire, cause I also love her incredibly much even though I haven’t had her for that long, and she fits so well as Maya’s partner it’s unreal ! Her personality also contrats Fire’s quite well so they make a great pair together :3

Mud Monster (About The Art)

I have no real reason behind that drawing, just saw a prompt about rain and thought about how I was tired of drawing my pons in typical good weather with the sun shining and whatnot. It’s a nice change of pace :> I’m also really proud to have managed to make this with absolutely ZERO ref pictures !!! (as a comparison, this was my first no-ref piece drawn almost exactly one year ago) Context here would be that the herd spent the night in the barn due to a thunderstorm, and they are let outside in the morning once it has passed. Aurora is carefully making her way through the pasture to find a dry spot to graze, when suddenly Fire comes out of nowhere jumping in a puddle in front of her and splashing muddy water all over her bright grey coat >< It probably won’t take long until Fire becomes completely unrecognizable with the amount of mud she’ll gather on her coat ^^’

A New Era Has Begun…

I’ve been in need of a fresh start in my HARPG ventures for a while now, and I finally decided to take that step even though I haven’t finished my storyline from Curses In Disguise.

It took me over a month to figure out exactly what I wanted to do for this new stables, and it all came down to three main arguments :

I love the western HARPG community, especially that of the @WHA-HARPG group, and find the culture and disciplines of western riding much more interesting than classic english riding.

I adore working horses in general, especially baroque-type breeds that can work cattle. Ever since I learned about the history, cultures and traditions surrounding these horses, I find warmblood/sport horse breeds to be rather bland...

I’m tired of player-made breeds, even though they have the potential to make great communities, I find them too constraining and stressful… So real-life breeds for the win !

With all of that in mind, I finally decided that my new stables would be a lil ranch in France (obviously) that breeds cattle-work oriented Lusitanos \o/ It’s gonna be called Haras de la Roseraie !

And this is my herd ! With the stallion Sovereign at its head, his four mares (Banshee, Olympe, Hermosa and Emerald) and their babins (Vecna, Zeus, Princesa and Onyx) :3

Wait, you said Emerald ?

For those who follow me on DA for a while and maybe know a bit about my characters, you may recognise Emerald in this and think ‘new stables but old characters ?’ or ‘she’s not a Lusitano !’

And in both cases you’d be right, but let me explain…

New stables, Old characters

I’m ‘recycling’ characters cause I’m attached to them, love their dynamics, and I don’t see why I would create new ones to either not get as attached or to just re-do the same thing. So Emerald alongside Fire and Aurora, and their riders Maya and Raph, will be joining this new stable.

Emerald is not a Lusitano

Indeed she’s not. But she’s not a Kossak Warmblood either, not anymore.

Like I said before, I’m tired of player-made breeds and the Kossak-Warmblood group has been inactive for a little while now. I don’t want my beloved character to be stuck in a group/breed that may not even exist anymore in a few years from now, so I decided to free her and myself from those constraints by changing her breed.

I didn’t make her a Lusitano though, I made her an Andalusian ! With Aurora being a Warlander and Fire being a *whatever-she-is*, Emerald joins the group of ‘special non-Lusitano’ beans at Roseraie :3

Questions ?

If you’ve got any questions about pretty much anything, you can ask them in the replies or on my ask page. I’ll be more than happy to answer :3
