Description If any of you ever wanted to take a ride on Kvark, now is your chance


...hahaha, naw I'm sorry, I couldn't help it. Took a lil break from writing grading diplomas for the Zlesdin Spring Grading and used the time wiiiisely... to doodle what Simon Kvark  would look like as a horse. That turned out to be funnnn so I suddenly found myself colouring the poor lad. 
I ...have no excuse. Horse-i-fication is something all my kids must go through  at some point; it's inevitable. I absolutely HAVE drawn my other Zdarloch kids as horses too, though they remain sketches for now Maybe I'll colour them sometime, who knows...

In the meantime... meet Kvark OX? Show name: Strangeness and Charm [ www.youtube.com/watch?v=09QH7j…

Arabian... obviously. Feisty, fancy little thing, aaaand a certified show-off. Try to outrun him? Haha... good luck trying. 
He'd absolutely be the type of horse who wouldn't hesitate to deliver a swift kick if you touched him in a place he disliked. And he certainly wouldn't let just anyone on his back. A guy has standards, you know... :')
And mud... yikes. Avoid the mud at all costs. Wouldn't want to get those hooves dirty. 
Fears? None. Except not-getting-looked-at. #GottaHaveAllTheAttention  







Simon Kvark resides with me x)
Anatomy is exaggerated on purpose  - including that headshape ...Please let's not make this a discussion about headshape in arabians.

Oh, when I was younger I had an obsession with horse-i-fying everyone And Kvark as an Arab stallion? Perfect match. There's nothing like an Arab stallion.

Hehehe, horse-i-fying is still a guilty pleasure of mine; it's great fun
Thank you! Oh yesss, I figured that feisty personality would fit him well x)

If any of you ever wanted to take a ride on Kvark, now is your chance "Well, this opens up a whole world of possibilities..." {said someone who shall not be named}

This is legit on so many levels I can't even: of course, what would the king of show-off be if not the most show-offy, glamourous of them all? That smiiirk and peppy little freckles, oh boy! I'm also ready to bet that grooming sessions with this guy would last hours: until everything is in Perfect Working Order, forget to take out saddle and bridle - or do so anyway and face the backlash, lol. You wouldn't want me to get out in public looking like a ploddy, run-of-the-mill halfblooded peasant, would you? Aaand I'm sure that everybody now wants to see the rest of the gang as horses - the outcome ought to be something glorious alrigh X3

Dumb question moment - what OX should stand for? Because I do not trust what came out of my Google search in the least XD

Someone-who-shall-not-be-named would dare?  

Hehe, oh absolutely! He would 100% demand pampering on a whooole other level; that's for sure :')  Gotta keep himself shiny white; mudstains are a big nono
Thank you very much! I might finish up some of the others sometime when I feel that spur-of-the-moment impulse to do so. Would be funnnn to have the entire herd together!

OX would be the common 'initials' of purebred arabians; something you put after their name to indicate their studbook. All purebred Arabs are called 'Name' OX, like the stallion Zonyx OX. Similarly you have XX for thoroughbreds (example Racing Ace XX), or OLD for Oldenburgs (example Weihehold OLD) or FRH for Hanoverians (example Showtime FRH) or DWB, SWB, KWPN... it's mandatory in hotbloods and pretty commonly seen in warmbloods too ^^

Who knoooows... I make no promises about the mental state of my darlings

It would probably warrant getting at the barn two or three hours early, just to be sure, and pray for him to be in a good mood - otherwise, Godspeed you poor souls. And greys are such an hassle to get clean - especially once they get to the near-white phase: granted, knowing this guy he would avoid mud pits and dirty spots like the plague, but still. You're welcome! And the kids would make a dashing bunch all together <33

Ohhh, now it makes sense! When I started "name hunting" for my pons I found some of them, but it never really clicked what they were for   Super clear explanation, thank you very much!

Haha, they shall face no judgment for being a secret admirer XD 

SOMETHING like that, yep... and yes, white horses are impossible to keep clean... tails in particular; they always turn yellow, brrr. Not to mention the horror of GRASS STAINS; imo they are much harder to get rid off than the mudstains   

You' re most welcome;glad it was helpful   The abbreviations are indeed a jungle, hehe

Thank goodness X33

ARGH! Grass stains are a pain, no matter the surface >.< But greys have an hidden talent for getting dirty just by, you know, breathing - not unlike white breeches, lol XD

The more you know, really

Pperfect fit! Now he and Harry can be bffs (probably no though, because they'll race and never get along afterwards xDD ). You're amazing with expressions because it took ONE look at his face and I knew who it was x'DDD Brilliant! Now I kinda want to see the rest of your crew as horses as well :'D especially Con, Azaria and Kaisa hehe.

Their noses fit perfecly, though I somehow expected the blond to be..palomino ? :') I dunno. Love pose etc though. Kvarkie looks like his proud self

Zoubstance In reply to KimEnLie [2018-04-25 07:19:11 +0000 UTC]

Heh yes, teeechnically a palomino would have been a more correct shade for his hair, but once the image of a pristine, white arabian popped into my head I just couldn't shake it. And since purebred OXs don't carry dilution genes that settled it
But thank you, I'm glad he looks recognizable   It definitely was fun to make ^^
