Hello everyone, it has been a while hasn't it? I have had this idea for real life YEARS and I just am DYING to see it brought to life. It is exactly as it says in the title! Here is the horse I have in mind for it:

Image is clickable :)

Anyways; I will go over a few likes and dislikes first:

Likes: Long manes and tails, no tack, small fantasy items, flowers and other small things in the manes/tails, etc. I think it could potentially be a cool idea to have a slight glow to the white pattern of the horse, but I also am not 100% on how I'd feel about it, so don't feel like you have to do that. The horse facing slightly to the side, aka having stock where the pattern will be visible!! Braids, not the entire mane/tail, but small braids within the mane/tail. Neon/bright colors, crystals, fantasy flowers, slightly glowy rivers, etc.

Dislikes: Extreme fantasy, horns, wings (love a good pegasus piece, just not for this idea), rings and tack and whatnot on the legs, glowy eyes, short manes and tails, extreme levels of contrast to where it's over saturated (don't get me wrong I love color though haha), facing away stock, facing directly forward stock, or generally any stock that doesn't really show her pattern. Super chonk/PON/AA stock (basically no drafts or breeds with overly noticeable features if that makes sense?

Now onto the VIBES. I want the background to very much be a presence in this piece just as much as the horse is. Obviously the horse should have some mystical element to it as it is within an enchanted forest, so feel free to do whatever fantasy/creative vibe you think would go best! The inspiration pictures really illustrate the vibe I am looking for, so PLEASE reference those as you're getting the feel for what you'd like to do.

mod edit Hotlinking is only acceptable in the Chatbox and Gamemail. Also we dont allow AI images on the site, and please make sure even if your just posting for art ideas that images posted have credits/are from creditable stock sources

Hopefully these give you a good idea! Attention to detail and bringing the scene to life is the key I'm looking for :)
