Alright, this has been a few months in the making, because I’ve been super busy with work and trying to find time to write all this down has been insane. Please bear with me as I am trying to make these ideas as simple to read as possible. I don’t want to render any artist to a set image, so these ideas are super loose! Though of course don’t make them completely different all together, haha. Though, knowing me I’ll end up loving it and wanting it anyway, cause I’m a sucker for art. I have a few ideas that have been floating around in my head for awhile now, so I’m going to throw those out. I am terrible at forming ideas from my head into words, so this should be fun!

Before I go into detail, I want to put a small list of things I LOVE when it comes to graphics and things I’ve seen that I’d love to see incorporated into an image someday. These are just random ideas that if you can take and put into one of the ideas below, feel free to do so!

Roan -- I LOVE blue roan, even on paint/splash horses. There is just something about it that tends to make a horse POP for me.

Horns/antlers-- images with them just idk makes the animal look so majestic in a way

Colored mane/body designs-- seeing an image with horse having unnatural color in their manes or cool designs or writing on their bodies just make them more unique to me.

Wings w/color tips/color-- another thing that isn’t necessary, but are just unbelievably gorgeous.

Splash-- I am a sucker for anything splash white coloring. I’ve always been a lover for unique splash markings on horses.

Moons-- I love images with a very present moon, or anything really to do with space.

Weather-- rain, storms, lightening, ect.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Idea #1 - the soul reaper - please listen to Reaper by Fit for a King

- darkness(If anyone really knows me, they know I LOVE dark, goth, scary looking images)

- Woods

- Foggy

- black or dark brown horse

- unique paint(or splash) markings

- I love teal, blue, or like a neon green, so anything that you could add into the horses markings and/or hair would be fab

- Pagan symbol/or any dark symbol that is awesome looking on head or any part of the body it looks good on

- glowing eyes, mane, tail, if it looks good

In my head I see this creepy horse slowly coming out of the woods, it’s super foggy, and he is making his way into a grave yard of sorts. Could have head down, kind of stalking in… idk that’s where I am with the idea currently. Please feel free to let the creative juices flow and build from there. I love seeing when people take an idea and run with it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Idea #2 - meadow of night - listen to Reincarnate by Motionless in White

- once again, darkness, moody, ect

- a dark meadow, maybe a river or stream, forest in the background

- stormy, lightening, ect

- dark horse, splash white

- maybe some body modifications like: colored markings, ect

- fireflies -- I just love the idea of a bunch of them throughout

- a necklace -- that glows along with the fireflies, or maybe a small jar with fireflies

- moose antlers -- because we all know how much I love them

In my head I just invision this beautiful, stunning horse that is proud, walking, running, rearing, anything in that nature; like a king of his own kind, showing the world who he really is. Again, take the idea and run with it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Idea #3 - good vs evil - listen to Masterpiece by Motionless in White

This idea is very vague, because It’s not an idea that I’ve thought about entirely, but I will try my best.

- a forbidden love, that ended in carnage

- maybe on the light side, a horse laying down, defeated, with no more give; to give

- maybe she’s beautiful, lighter color(blue markings or in mane/tail), maybe a mixture of darkness to her, because they were in love at one time and part of him, became a part of her(her front half could be white, back half dark -- so opposite of the male).

- on the dark side, he’s dark, demonic type, but maybe with her parts of him began to lighten up, but he feared that she would turn him good

- so he is standing, maybe undecided on wether to flee or go to her/maybe terrified of change

- he’s dark, strong, colored in designs -- a phantom face -- half white, half black and maybe white on his underbelly, a leg or two

- or he could be the front half black, with a white and/or blue glowing mane, half white face, and a white back half with a black tail and blue strands

- scenery -- could be anything really -- forest, mountains, storms, ect

This one has so much potential to be literally anything and with a lot of detail. Again, I am horrible at trying to take the ideas in my head and writing them out to make sense haha. They are forbidden, but deep down she is the ying to his yang.

What you’ve all been waiting for, the prizes and all that jazz. Here is everything you need to know, please feel free to ask any questions here or message me and we can discuss.

**IF you choose to code your image, this will not give you more points than the others, but I don’t want to stop someone from doing so. I do love seeing how creative people can be with codes, ect -- so please feel free if you can code or know someone who can, I’d love to have them coded as well! (or you know, if anyone outside of the contest wants to code, msg me -- I’ll need someone! haha).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Added notes:

For anyone that does not win, I am willing to buy the graphic for the amount that you would sell it as a commission if you are willing to sell it to me still. I am also up for discussion of them as well if you feel that it is worth more, ect. I don’t want anyone to put a lot of hard work into an image just for them to not win and possibly not sell! Everyone knows I am a sucker for art and if that means going a little broke, I am totally okay with that! I know I am going to have an extremely hard time deciding on these, considering we have so many amazing artists. 

Happy Creating!
