Description
I've been meaning to do a reference sheet for each one of my characters for ages and have finally got around to doing it. This guy especially needed one, as he has the most complicated design out of all my characters________________________________________
Name: Daybreak
Age: 8 years old
Height: ~16hh
Breed Description: Daybreak comes from a sub-species of ordinary horses that was closed off from the rest of the world for thousands of years. They live mostly in caves and only come out at night to hunt. Due to scarse vegetation in their homeland, these horses have evolved (or devolved?
Mane and tail: long and straight, tends to be a lighter shade of their coat colour.
Ears: always large, but just as flexible as those of a normal horse.
Horns: males have longer horns that are slightly curved, females have smaller ones. The horns are always the same colour as the hooves (generally grey/brown)
Coat: ranges from light to really dark grey, most shades of brown and even a kind of dark green-ish colour that Daybreak has.
Background story: Daybreak himself was captured by humans and made into a war horse, as these type of horses are incredibly strong and can also be used as a weapon, since they get aggressive when intimidated (those teeth hurt!
Personality: very strong, determined, bit of a loner, has problems with authority, always does what he thinks is right, never gives up.
First appearance: Nov 2004 [link]

This character is so awesome looking! He's really simple, which is a good thing. It seems like a lot of people over do it on their character designs. And the colors are nice. I never would have thought to use an olive green sorta color, and it totally works here. Your style of lineart and shading is great too. I hope you're proud of this guy

That's one of the shapes available in PS 7. I think the default one is the line tool, but if you click on it there should be more of them.
