Ok so I just read this great fantasy book and now I'm inspired. In the closing scene of the book the main character bursts into flames and transforms from a human to a purple cockatrice. I don't really know what that is either, so here's what Wikipedia says: "A cockatrice is a mythical beast, essentially a two-legged dragon, wyvern, or serpent-like creature with a rooster's head." So what I was thinking for the art is a pretty bay/dun/dark-colored chonky horse with gold adornments and beautiful flows hair in castle ruins. And then the horse is at some stage of transforming into the purple cockatrice. Since that's a weird ask, the transformation could be just getting some scales/feathers/wings or it could a crazy hybrid horse. You choose! Then around the horse, because this transformation was from a crazy blood magic ritual, there are some cool magical flames going on. I don't know if my idea even makes sense, but I think it sounds like an interesting challenge! Thank you for opening this giveaway, Gem!

Okay.... So teacher themed.

(And if I win this I want it to be given to Asteria for a club giveaway.)

What's this? The new teacher is a horse? But it's true! There is a horse at the teachers desk, his thick mane resting on the desk and his tail on the floor. He has a vest and a tie, and those round old spectacles over his eyes. He has a chalk pencil in his mouth, and his hoof on the desk, and on a blackboard he has written, "Mr. World Class as your new teacher."

The light above is a chandelier and the whole room is vintage-themed.

The horse's vest is of a deep blue and his tie is a light blue bowtie.

The color of his coat is a light chestnut, and his thick, full mane and tail is creamy colored.

I had so much fun writing these!! good luck everybody ^^

In a murky swamp setting a cremello horse walks through the swamp her head held high despite the murky waters. Her mane and tail are both long and slightly tangled, snakes crawl their was across her back, moss and sludge clings to her legs, and her Forget me not blue eyes are slightly unfocused like shes hyper focused on one thing ahead of her.

A slightly transparent buckskin horse streached out at a full run heading for the edge of a moonlit cliff. his ears are pinned, eyes full of fear. he knows hes going to plummet to his death he already has, but he cant stop as his spirt is stuck in that one moment for the rest of eternity.

I would love art for my mare.

I picture a vintage artwork look—something that makes you think it belongs in a museum. An old-style European stable takes up half of the background, while the rest shows beautiful green rolling fields with trees lining a path. The stable itself is covered in ivy and wisteria.

In front of the stable, facing toward the fields, stands a black sport horse mare with a long mane and tail. Flowers are woven throughout her hair. Next to her is a foal (you may choose the color). The foal has its hindquarters facing the viewer and is looking back over its shoulder. Flowers are also woven into its mane and tail.

There are small details around the stable, such as a hay bale, pitchfork, and bucket. Doves are perched on top of the stable or flying overhead (reflecting the meaning of her name). Sunlight beams down onto the mare and foal.
