Horse Trainer Update - Basic Gaits + Colors

Here's some early animation tests using Spine, which I'm still getting used to. I'm going to tweak these later on and make it look more like 2D keyframe animation. I have the base coats, Bays and Cream dilutes rigged and ready! The first breed I'm working on is the Morgan.

Black, Golden Chestnut, Chestnut, Red Chestnut, Liver Chestnut

Smoky Black, Isabella Palomino, Palomino, Golden Palomino, Chocolate Palomino

Sandy Bay, Bay, Blood Bay, Mahogany Bay, Seal Brown

Buttermilk Buckskin, Buckskin, Golden Buckskin, Dark Buckskin, Brown Buckskin

An early look at the horse customization.

And here's an early level prototype. I want to fit the 2D aesthetic I had in my previous animations so I'm going to rework it this week. All in all coming together in Unity! The horse has controller controls along with keyboard controls. Feeling nice! 

Thanks for stopping by! I hit the fyp on TikTok today, welcome to my corner of the internet if you're visiting from there :D I hope to spruce up the place! This is the start of the Horse Trainer dev blog so please visit often and drop a comment on what you think! I'd love feedback during development to make this a satisfying and greatest horse game I can possibly make!

New Game | Horse Trainer Developer blog

I'm making a new game! Finally the horse game that I've always wanted to make. The color choosing will be based on genetics. There will be training and experience and care. Stay tuned I'll be making this into a developer blog again! Very excited to work on this :D

Even MORE Horses

Horses Galore!

Just recapping this week :D It was allllll horses. I missed drawing horses! It was refreshing.

I started out the week with horse gestures.

Color sketch. (Commission)

Sketch. Did a lot of these for fun.

Then turned the sketch into a commission. I liked the pose..

Finished the week with pen drawings.

PENS ARE FUN? I used to HATE using a pen. But now they're wayyy fun for some reason.

It forces you to plan out and be mindful when you're drawing. So fun :D

Practice

Images are working again! Hurray! But everything is backwards.

Practicing horses again!

Cherries <33 Quick 15 minute study from life. I kept eating them.

Working on the game. Andy's been super sick, so I've mostly just been with him.

But here's some studies. Also painted a faux Atari 2600 cover, which was tricky. They used to love space, ships and highlights. :O.

we were playing lots of Mortal Kombat, so a Kitana sketch
