VIEWING HORSES FORUM THREAD: Adding Colors to Old Breeds
REPLY: (by Miranda) Nov 18 2016 2:43pm
We are contemplating adding more colors to some of the older breeds that were given just the standard colors and not -all- possible colors. While doing this, the existing colors of that breed will be updated. We don't plan on radically changing the outline or patterns of the different colors.

That said, please vote for your top 5 breeds you would like to see colors added to and art (at least partially) redone.

2. Vlaamperd

I personally think those are most deserving of new colors, since there's nothing wrong with the actual lineart, but a variety of currently absent colors does exist and would be nice to see being added (for example Vlaamperds, although very rarely, do come in grey).

Surprised no one has said:

1. Frederiksborg (in game they come only in chestnut, in real life they may be bay, grey, buckskin, palomino, roan, and even have some rabicano markings. I wouldn't change a thing about the lineart though)
2. Sells Francais (would love to see a grey and a spiffy up of the old colors)
3. Oldenburg (most notably we are missing chestnut and tobiano. Their lineart is beautiful!)
4. Morgan (cremello, grey, palomino, roan, pinto)
5. Standardbred (grey is missing)

I should note that I would be incredibly upset and against the idea of lineart changes on the Oldenburg and Frederiksborg. I love it exactly how it is I just wish to see the colors represented that exist within the breeds.

I feel like most people want a redo of the Hanoverians, but they actually have nice line art. I think the most important thing would just be to touch up their mane and tail and make their eyes... more visible? as it is it seems half closed all the time. Perhaps this is something that could be done in a color redo?
other than that I would love color redos in just about any of the old breeds, just wanted to mention the hano.

4. Dutch Warmblood (I would love a color touch-up)
5. Missouri Fox Trotter (Just like with the Dutchies, color touch-up)

This isn't a color thing, but I'd love to see more mini horses introduced into the game. I just love small horses and there just doesn't seem to be enough of them!

Irish draughts PLEASEEE! They're so beautifully drawn i would love the colours to be fixed! The grey and brown i like but the others need touching up to be less blurry and would love to see more colours!

Standardbreds! I have a purebred roan standy and a friend i know has a purebred pinto and grey so it would be great for them to have new colours added :) Oh, and my boy is 17hh and there are standies up to 18.3hh out there so heights from 14-18 would be great :)
Also the freders
REPLY: (by Cat) Nov 20 2016 3:03am
1. Friesians (They can come in Chestnut, and others have said I know they've been redone before but they look absolutely nothing like the breed at the moment so a general lineart touchup would be nice too - I know SpottedRose has said this is something she'd like to do.)
2. Frederiksborg (As Absent said above - they can come in "bay, grey, buckskin, palomino, roan, and even have some rabicano markings". The lineart is beautiful but it's a shame that they're an unpopular breed due to the lack of variety - they're boring at the moment.)
3. Andalusian (PRE now accepts Grulla, Buckskin, Palomino, Perlino, and Cremello)
4. Norikers ("They also appear in a variety of other striking colours like roan, blue roan, overos, tobianos, as well as the spotted leopard complex.")
5. Aztecas (After having seen the redo that was done for Aztecas years ago but never added in, I think this is definitely needed. The lineart is lovely as it is but they just have pure block colours. Also, no horse is green. Why are the cremellos green?)
REPLY: (by Cat) Nov 20 2016 3:06am
^ With regards to the Aztecas, I meant palomino. Oops. Although the cremello also has a slight green-ish tinge to it.

REPLY: (by Cat) Nov 20 2016 7:15am
Oh I'd also like to add on a side note, if there's any possible way that the markings on the black Thoroughbreds could actually be made white rather than the murky grey they are at the moment, without changing the other colouring, that would be amazing. I did it myself in Photoshop and it looks so much better.
REPLY: (by Absent) Nov 20 2016 7:57am
Oh also, if I'm allowed to add a 6. Iberian Warmbloods.Touch up on all the colors to something more crisp would be great. They're the smudgiest looking breed.

1. standardbred - bay brown black, plus chestnut grey and roan! their lines could be updated a little too, they're not particularly athletic-looking. also the eye weirds me out

2. falabella - they have the really old art style like the super gradient/flat manes. also come in palomino and buckskin, and there could be a black leopard appaloosa as 'white', and maybe other appie/pinto colours too?

3. hanoverian - just looks really outdated and does not look like they could do olympic eventing tbh !! they could be a bit more elegant- and warmblood-looking. maybe add a white, and make the grey a dapple

4. tennessee walker - redo those manes and tails more like the racking horse, make them look as gorgeous as rl ones~

5. vlaamp - as much of it redone as possible would be fantastic. can't stand the terrible conformation on that thing bleh

Please leave the existing Standardbred colouring alone. I have invested so much in an idential replica of a departed horse.

Several older players play because of the old artwork so please keep that in mind.
REPLY: (by Catelyn) Nov 30 2016 3:28pm
Would it not be possible to arrange a vote between the new artwork and the old, or at least preview the proposed new artwork? It is extremely hard to vote in favour for something you have no idea what will look like. Maybe a redo would look better in some cases but I/we have no way of knowing what we are agreeing to.

I am in full favour of ADDING NEW colours, but not in favour of redoing existing ones to make it happen.

I have a tiny suggestion pertaining to this thread. Would it be wise to alter the Pawneer Order information to inform potential purchasers that the horse/colour they are ordering might be altered in the future? It would make the risk clearer to those buying.
REPLY: (by Miranda) Dec 3 2016 3:03pm
Thanks for the votes.

It would not be possible to simply add new coloring to a breed without altering the existing colors. Especially for the older breeds, the style is so different from what it is now that it would look very off to keep the old colorings. That said, I will be informing the artist to only update the current colors but keep the current markings, etc. Try not to change it too much. So, if a color has two socks in chestnut and a blaze in black, then the redone art will still have two socks in chestnut and a blaze in black. The shading and detail would just be updated along with new colors added. The lineart would only be tweaked to fix conformation issues that have been noticed.

I'll be giving the breeds with the most votes to the artist to have her start working on them.
Thanks!
REPLY: (by Catelyn) Dec 15 2016 12:42pm
Does this mean the Standardbred will be redone, then. I would be gutted to lose the current bay version. The colouring AND lineart is perfect.
REPLY: (by Catelyn) Dec 15 2016 12:44pm

REPLY: (by SpottedRose) Dec 15 2016 4:10pm
You can't please everybody. I keep getting complaints that my art is too flat and grey. I do my art on a carefully calibrated monitor, and it looks different on every other monitor in the place.

Thank you for all your art, SpottedRose. Much appreciated from this player! :)
REPLY: (by DesertPaint) Dec 16 2016 12:33pm
I have a laptop and a desktop. The art looks different on each of the computers. It depends on the type of screen (LED, or whatever you have,) what the graphics settings are and also what graphics card you have.

Mac's will also look different from Windows/PC's, and Linux. Each is different. :)
REPLY: (by Rumored) Feb 15 2017 8:40pm
I think people get far too entitled when it comes to expecting new art/colors/etc. Everyone wants exactly what they want, which is never the same for every player. Some people like the new colors, some people like the old. It's really considerate of Miranda, Joe, and SpottedRose to take into account what breeds the players want re-colored. I'm personally just grateful this game is still getting updates and the care it needs.

Thank you for everything you do, SpottedRose. I'm sure everyone appreciates you more than you know!
REPLY: (by Miranda) Aug 20 2018 1:48pm
We have added more colors and redone the coloring of the top 5 breeds voted on here by players. I'll go through and tally the breeds again (since I, of course, didn't keep my initial tally) and we'll possibly do some more.

So, please, once again, list your top 5 breeds you would like colors added to and/or art (at least partially) redone. If you voted above, feel free to vote again since some breeds that you listed may have been redone.

Thanks!

1. Sorraias need redone horribly.
2. American Cream Drafts- They are very draft like in real life with a more perlino color vs. so much pink.
3. Dutch Warmbloods- I love the traditional lineart but the other colors besides black are icky, the grey is very bland. I'd love to see some more shading and detail, they come in white, beautiful dappled greys, and a variety of other colors.
4. Morgans. OOf.
5. Selle Francais, needs way more colors and more intricate detail, the lineart is definately spot on but could use a little updating

1. American Cream Draft the registry accepts light, medium, and dark cream which (in my experience) look like cremello, light palomino, and dark palomino with the amber eyes of course.

Can I just vote this 5 times? I own one in real life and would love to have a look alike in a little darker shade!
