Description
CLOSED: Winners have been chosen! Thanks for participating everybody! Keep an eye out for more auctions like this one. It may be harder to choose a winner, but at least then I know that the characters are hard-bought, treasured, and will be used.Clarification: These horse designs are based on birds.
The overwhelming majority was for people to draw the horses in order to adopt, and then I choose who gets it, so for this batch of horses, I'm going to do that again.
I didn't particularly like this method last time I used it (I hate making people draw something and get nothing in return) but if it's what you guys want, it's what you get.
Rules:
1. You can only try for one of them.
2. Drawings have to be uploaded and a link sent to me in a NOTE by January 15th.
3. Name and bio are not required, but encouraged.
4. What you are going to do with the character (comic, harpg, roleplay) IS required in order to try for adoption.
5. Put effort into your drawing. I will be more impressed if it has expression, interaction with another character, a background, shading, etc. All drawings must be colored.
I will announce the winners on the 16th of January.
Adoption Attempts and Winners:
You can find them all in this journal: [link]

I might not be done by the deadline though, school is a hassle. D: If I'm not that's okay, I think I can make a peacock horse somehow, but not exactly the same.

There are lots of peacock horses, so I can't claim the idea. Just make sure to make your own design, rather than one based on mine. Grab a picture of a peacock and go to town!

I will be in so much trouble if you make more birdie designs... I started to do some before (when I made Pato - who is a birdiecorn ) but it didnt seem to be a interest for that (see my Uni Adoption thingies) I think only one got adopted...

#10 is calling me! I love Peacocks! Already started drawing him!
They are all really awesome... I might have to draw myself a penguin horse now!
Or Hummingbird! Great idea, I hope you do more in the future

Such good ideas, mind if I use them too?
Everybody seems to love these guys so much! I'll probably make more eventually. Thanks for your interest!

Soul-Cake In reply to daughterofthestars [2011-01-03 16:20:57 +0000 UTC]
Sure Would you want to do some sort of collaboration on them? Or make them reserved adoptables?
I was thinking a Hummingbird Shetland lol
Can't wait to see what others come up with. I thought this was the perfect opportunity to jumpstart my stable for HARPG again.

daughterofthestars In reply to Soul-Cake [2011-01-03 16:22:49 +0000 UTC]
I could make penguin and hummingbird designs and then you can have them if you want them, or you can let them go up for adoption. Or if you make the horses first, I just won't use those two birds. XD

Soul-Cake In reply to daughterofthestars [2011-01-03 16:40:25 +0000 UTC]
I would love to see what you come up with! I'm sure I'll want to keep 'em
These are just some ideas that struck me, but since you are designing them, I'll leave it up to you
For the penguin, I was thinking an emperor(this one would be the most recognizable as a penguin, I think lol): [link]
or a Gentoo: [link]
For the Hummingbird, I liked the "traditional" Ruby Throat: [link]

No problem. I try not to go too crazy with pictures when coming up with a design
Hey, it's no big deal. You're the ones making them, so you're the one who decides when. I can't wait to see them!

This idea actually made me think yesterday about making Dart Frog Horses
Cause there's SOOO many designs
Idk, I might do it as a Birthday Giveaway thing :3

Either that or I'll do something along those lines, I need to find something else to base them off of though...like fish or something

daughterofthestars In reply to waxwiing [2011-01-14 15:27:38 +0000 UTC]
Ooo fish. I always liked the idea of koi horses. And bettas. Lots of pretty colors to work with.
Not to mention tropical fish. Koi and Betta are conservative compared to the many colors presented there. XD

A longgg time ago, I made a mare with toucan markings. I think she's still on my Spiderwick19 account (her name's Azara...?) Haha I don't even remember correctly. Anyways, I think I might bring her back for HARPG.

I love #6!
If I did try for it, would you mind if I made it fully natural in colour (make the creamy bit on the face white, and remove the pink spot)?

daughterofthestars In reply to MelonHeadGirl [2011-01-03 15:40:01 +0000 UTC]
Weeeell the point was that they have bird colorations. I guess I wouldn't mind if you made the creme white and the pink spot gray.

RainbowFountains In reply to MelonHeadGirl [2011-01-03 13:14:37 +0000 UTC]

It said nothing in the Artist's Comments about it, and I presumed the title was just a random thing.
Fair enough.

I don't really like birds, so don't study them.
Horses are my main focus in art, I know more about them than any other animal.

And I said they were bird-based in my poll about how to adopt them out.
I clarified in the artist's description. XD But I still think it's funny.

Obviously you know more than me then. No one I know owns a bird, I've never come into contact with a parrot, and I've been pecked by a peacock so now avoid them.
