Extraordinary and Memorable

:iconnavare:


Another really original idea, and the patterns and the colors look authentic, and were very well though out. The owl mask is also a fun twist on the masquerade theme, deviating from the usual Venice masks, and the overall background design is also very well done.

2nd
I loved how original this idea was and the costume was beautifully drawn. The colors were great and didn't have a faded or dusty look. the costume was also simple, but effective.

3rd
The horse's anatomy and shading are awesome, and the pose is unique. the costume also matches the horse's name, a nice touch.

4th
This act is really sweet, and it's one of the only two-horse acts. The colors are also beautiful, very vivid.



:iconlife-d-sign:
You have to marvel at her shading skills!!! A light of hope in the digital world. :worship:

For a gorgeous way of shading and doing the lighting.

For her unique and marvellous style. I hardly ever saw a "unnatural" style which reaches this level of elegance!


Special Thanks of course to *abosz007 Your art was truely inspiring for me. Thanks so much.

I would have never thought it would look like this, though I know some of you aren't found of their own work, I'm flattened by your creative and numberous entries. Thanks so much for this, really really thanks so much. Judging was really hard for :iconnavare: and me. I hope you will enjoy future events to.

Thanks again. We bow before you<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Winterride

Inspired by Jullelin

I'm working on a little winter picture thingy and I wouldn't mind some company. Lets take one of our HArpg horses out for a ride in the snow. HOW?

Well draw YOU yes YOUR VERY SELF IN PERSON taking a winter ride on your favourite horse of your Stable (or your favourite OC horsey)!!!
Attention, its cold, so you should be dressed properly^^

If you want to, you can leave the background transparent or unicolour so I can put us all together on one big picture, but that is not a must^^.

Bonus System:


No worries it's still all chance, but the chances will not be completely even. STILL everyone has a good chance to win, regardless of artists skills. You get bonuses for

- training pictures, pictures where the horse performs (sketches count)
- winnings
- bloodlines
- talented underdog bonus (I love this bonus best^^ there are three horses which get this bonus, two are given by chance :giggle: and one by me)

the maximum bonus is that your chances double in relation to the others. Not more. I don't want to discourage anyone.

That means for example for Show Jumping:
You have a certain chance to clear an obstacle, let's say 95% for all participants.
You get the underdog bonus chances are about double==> so your chance will then be 97,5% to clear that obstacle. Clear?? ^^' Bonuses will be shown in the results

Winter Fox Hunt and Winter Races ATTENTION PLEASE!

Journal Entry: Sat Dec 19, 2009, 10:31 AM




:new:
ATTENTION: Terrain around Dark Lake Manor DOES NOT I repeat NOT contain mountains or a mountain side!!! Only woods, fields, soft hills and the lake
AGAIN
NOOOOOOO MOUNTAINS!!!!!!!!!


A very WARM Welcome to all our guests. The forests and lakes around the mansion are slowly falling into their icy sleep and daylight vanishes sooner and sooner. Our weather gets raw these days, autuum thunderstorms rip the golden leaves from the trees and heavy rain is falling, temperatures are dropping, dropping. Last night the first snow covered the roof of the mansion and laid on plants and pastures. It's time now to announce our Winter Event. If you are catching a cold easily, are afraid of falling, of breaking ice or have sunshine loving horses we recommend you stop reading now.

Winter Fox Hunt and Ice Races

:new: I guess we started^^'







Winter Fox Hunt (read carefully)

- works similar to steeple chase or cross country
- open to any breed or disciple

- horses had to exist in the game before Nov 1
- 17th to 19th century dresses for riders please

- will be decided by random numbers
- for the winter foxhunt there is a 10% risk that the horse falls

- if the fox ( ergo Jullelin and We Will Sea ) is on your picture, your chances will double!!!!!!!

-the fox may participate again by drawing a picture of his horse during the hunt, he will have a normal chance to stay the fox
- the winner will be the next Fox!!!

- the winter fox hunt takes place on a stormy, snowy day!!! All Entries without snowy weather will be rejected!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- no application necessary, just send your entry in once you have finished it









~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Ocean of Ice Races

The Ocean of Ice Races take place across the frozen lake! So it looks mainly like big a white plain.

- The ground is slippery so your horses need to wear chalks, the vets wont let you start without chalks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
chalks [link]
draw them or - if they would be invisible on your picture - write down in your comment( story^^';) that your horse wears them
-The weather conditions are very good here, the sky is blue but it's freakin cold outside, so take care of your horses.
- your horse has a 20% chance of falling, and 2% risk that the ice under your horse will break, so take care

- there is no application necessary, there is no limited track, because the race runs across the lake from one lake border to the other border
- winners of the Diana, Orionis and Swan Races have the chance to win a double crown

Distances (just write down which distance your horse is going to run)

900 m





1200 m







2000 m




We wish you luck and courage^^'
