Description
ARTIST'S COMMENTSI finally decided to upload a reference sheet of my Arabian mare Chrystanth.
Name: Chrysanth (from the Latin name "chrysanthemum", a name for family of flowers), or Chrys for short
Gender: Female
Age: 4 years
Breed: Arabian, although not completely purebred
Colour: Copper-red Chestnut with darker tail, mane and knees. Two white stockings on the hind legs, with two silver hooves. A small diamond shaped star between her eyes.
Eyes: Brown base with speckles of pink, fuchsia and baby blue highlights. Dark brown eyelashes.
Build: Very small and thin body, the refined and concave head is slightly big in proportion to the body. The neck is arched and the back is fairly short. She stands at 14.2 hands tall (147 cm).
Personality: Although she is still fairly young, she is very bright and clever. She is very curious by nature, which will sometimes get her into troublesome situations. She is quick to judge and can make hasty decisions, but she will also forgive and forget just as easily. She loves to pose and play around, but can sometimes be frightened by the smallest noise or movement. Her temperament can be very fiery from time to time, and she is a very proud lady, so beware not to insult her in any way!

Thank you! This is a very old piece, and it's on top of my to-do list to make a new reference sheet for her and my other OC since they are waaay to outdated now! I use Photoshop for all my paintings

This is stunning <3 But, um, in her "beauty spots" section it says they were caused by inbreeding. Did you mean crossbreeding?

Thank you Yeah it's a spelling error and I was going to correct it like a year ago, but I never got around to it
But I'll be remaking her reference sheet soon anyway, so it'll be gone by then if not before

I was wondering about that too, because effective inbreeding in Arabs is encouraged.
She's beutiful though.

They just contain all the information about a character, so it's easier to get everything right when drawing the character, and other people learn more about them via them too
