so i rarely ever point out my old art, but i’ve never actually posted these little g4 mlp sprites before

they were meant to be rpg maker sprites and i'm 100% sure they were inspired by slhrpg since they're from 2014. i think they're still pretty good honestly

It’s pretty clear that for a show set on a colorful funky animal world it’s gonna have its share of tearjerkers concerning horse and her rider

Originally, the wagon bearing the image of the god was very probably drawn by men, as was likewise, in imitation of this, the chariot of the king. 

 But the breeding of animals soon changed matters. Oxen were used for the purpose of drawing wagons much earlier than were horses. The horse did not appear until late in the history of civilization. There are no Egyptian pictures of horses that date back farther than the fifteenth dynasty, whereas those of cattle occur considerably earlier.

In Oriental civilization, furthermore, the ass antedates the horse. In harmony with ancient custom, the ass even to-day continues, in the Orient, to be a favourite beast of burden as well as a riding animal. The horse seems to make its first appearance in history along with the Indo-Germanic tribes, who were probably indebted for it to the Turanian peoples of the Asiatic steppes. As a result of its superior speed, it then superseded its rivals in all the civilized countries of the ancient world. 

The Assyrian king went forth to the chase and the Homeric hero proceeded to battle in a chariot drawn by steeds. It was only later that the Greeks used the horse for saddle purposes, and not merely to draw the chariot. When this took place, equestrian combat came into favour among the aristocracy.  [293]

Wanted to draw a horse tonight and blue roans have always been one of my favorites. Also I started riding again! I’m so happy to have horses back in my life 🤍 also they’re super fun to draw

yes george, take it slow

Ya'll ever seen a samurai centaur? No? Well now you have.

i’m so glad that it seems a good amount of mcyt fans over here also like mlp because it makes me feel a bit less like i’m shouting into a void when/if i make stuff about it.

Centaur.
