RULES

You must draw a full-body picture or 3/4 of the horse's body. NO HEADSHOT ENTRIES PLEASE!

Please do not reuse entries!

Make sure that your final product is not a WIP (Work In Progress)

You may use people's linearts as long as you credit them. Some points will be taken off for using lineart because you personally did not make the effort to draw your own picture, but it will still count.

All competing horses must be over the age of 3 years old. This isn't a foal competition (I wouldn't want the little things getting hurt)

Magical horses may NOT use their magic if competing

Natural and Unnatural horses are permitted, as are Player Breeds (Ex. Nordanners, Chinese Dragon Horses, etc.)

You don't have to be a HARPG member!

Post a comment or note me with the link to your entry when complete!

Keep the art PG-13! No 'details' or anything that I am suggesting towards.

HAVE FUN AND KEEP ON ROLEPLAYING!!!!
