I would but.. i must resist this awesome horse and all your other awesome horses. I have soooo many horses right now, alot of them dont even have references yet. I'm just learning how to draw. So I woud not even give any of them justice in a breeding pic or do a great foal.. But thank you.. I will definitely have to remember your horses.

I know exactly how you feel 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oooh... Maybe we should breed him and Arya together...
Or for another type of art trade- we trade designs that look like they came from a random pairing between our horses (minexyours yoursxyours minexmine for example) and keep the ones we really like. A combined foal adoptable set

I would, Rose, but I reeeeally don't need any more foals right now. Plus, when I do breed some more of my horses I'm looking for a few specific breeds 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah it'd be fine if you didn't keep one
We could do our versions of a pair like, once a week- and when we get to a certain number we could throw them out for adoptables 
You've got a lot on your plate, it's understandable. I'm just kinda *cougboredcough* 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That would be awesome! I'm not going to be able to get my pairs started for quite a while, though, I'm afraid :S I have waaay too much on my plate right now art-wise. If you're bored and you'd like to go ahead and make some babies then go right ahead. I give you permission to use all of my horses (except the retired ones)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Alright- I've got two down so far, tried to make sure I kept track of who bred with who.
I was thinking about doing only 1 a day, so I didn't overflow your face with random designs.
>.> You need more mares!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok

I'm also searching through a list of my mares and stallions to see if there are any that can be used with your guys. I found one that I didn't have a reference to yet, but I got that up yesterday.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sounds great! ^^ I'm thinking at least a few of ours could make some good crossbreds/purebreds
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So far... I have 1 purebred.. A little Palomino tobiano? Overo? gypsy from Titus and Arya. Friggin Arya dude! Her genes give us a lot of creme based foals!
I did one between her and BlackHawke, and it ended up being a sooty dunskin.
I have 5 foals at this very moment (before I decide to make more)
1. BlackHawk (S) and Arya (GV)
2. Titus (GV) and Arya (GV)
3. BH(S) and Sidhe (GV)
4. BH (S) and Sidhe (GV)
5. BH (S) and Slip (Clyde)
I'll probably try out more between Slip and BlackHawk, maybe try her out with Almanzo(?)
I even have scratchy lineart for them! (The purebred gypsy vanner one needs to be redone, cuz it's kinda sickly looking, but other than that...) Just tell me whenever you'd like to see them
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Those all sound awesome!
So many draft foals!
If you'd like to make your own adoption sale go for it! Just make sure that they/you credit me for owning either the sire/dam. You could do your own, and then I could do an adoption sale of my own between your horses and mine when I find the time to draw them up
I'm excited to see these babies, so, if you like this idea just go ahead and post them and start the auction
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know it's like... a "big girl (or boy) parade" they're all extremely gorgeous- despite my gross lines. I'd be sorely tempted to keep a few actually. 
I definitely will be editing the purebred GV lines. Those lines are just too blegh to add more foals to it. Maybe I'll use references! Nah, too much effort.
So I have more babies to work on! Yush though, the foal auction should certainly work with me, and hey! You finished with your Andalusian auction! We could leave these guys up for maybe 2 months..? and see how many hits they get.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No! None with Arya x Almanzo! He's her son! 
I think it's going to be hard for me to not keep a baby as well. But, I'll probably have to resist. I have too many as it is!
Lol, refs are always good
Two months sounds great for me! I can advertize your auction on my journal and send people over to you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Did not know that...
You don't have as many horses as me! How do you know you have too many?! You can NEVAR have too many... Now having names of horses you haven't drawn on DA for a while, without references... can be a bit tacky actually. Which makes me one whacky tacky.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahah, oh the horror on my face if I saw an Arya x Manly foal on your list
Manly could use the lovin', he needs some ^^
Lol! Because I know how many I have now and the fact that I can barely keep up with them! 
Haha! Oh, Rose, you're a riot xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah.. I imagine that, and was very tempted to do one just because. I'm not a fan of inbreeding 'specially art-horse wise.. but the look of horror would have been worth it.
I just looked at the heights. I was hoping for something more hilarious- like if Sidhe was 3 hands bigger than him, but sadly she's only .2h higher than him, and Bebbin is around 14hh. I tried.
Who said you actually had to keep up with them? They're supposed to race ahead of you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol! I've never imagined innocent little Arya having relations with her son
I prefer not to let them get ahead of me. Then I get stressed out and throw out a lot of crappy pictures at once
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
crappy pictures are still pictures!
Yeah never you worry, I won't be a whorrible person and do that to those two. He'll have two other ladies to take care of his needs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, I'm sure he appreciates you for that
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For the life of me I can't figure out his coloring with the color calculator- there is no sooty... [link]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Who's color? Almanzo's?
Sooty and mealy are pretty debated topics, I believe. You can either give them sooty or not give them sooty. Either way it'd still be realistic. ~JNFerrigno might have something about sooty in her journals.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah well I got a 25% chance for 4 different colors, so I'll randomly add sooty to them
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok

I love it on chestnuts and palominos the most. It just brings out such great color in them.

His head is so noble with that Roman nose and gleaming eye.

Oh WOW!! He's simply beautiful
What program do you use?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you!
I use Photoshop CS5
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
NP!! 
And wow, photoshop can really do that??! I thought it was just for editing images...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Photoshop is actually a really popular drawing program
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Huh, I see~! I'll remember that, I need a drawing program so I don't sit on MS paint doing stuff over and over and over again xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're very good with MS paint, though! I've never been able to do much on that program
There's a free art program called GIMP that you can download online if you'd like [link] . It's not as good as photoshop, but it's a start!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I downloaded GIMP already, lol, but I don't get it. Like, at ALL
I think I need to mess with it more, maybe watch a tutorial or two...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I remember looking at GIMP for the first time and thinking "What the crap??". It just takes some time
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol~ x3 You've made stuff using GIMP on here?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, not on here ^^
I actually downloaded it before I got Photoshop and tried messing around with it some....turns out the computer I had at the time couldn't handle it and crashed every time I tried to save something
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lolwut? Thats weeeeiiiiiird. xD But I may have to, I just don't remember.

He is just cute! Don't you wish you had a horse just like him for real?
