Description I'm not all that familiar with Nordanner tack, so this may be a little crazy and not fit the bill properly, but it was a lot of fun to invent, too.



Entry for ~Secret-Assasin-Emery 's point contest to design her horse - Figuratively Flying 2577 - daily and dragonhunter tack.
Contest found here: [link]

The basic rules were to keep to light blues and whites and a wintery theme - snowflakes and ice, you name it. I may have gone a little overboard XD.
Also, it is all flat coloured, as requested, but I have put shiny bits here and there to give a little idea of texture (and just coz I like them ).

The grey is metal/armour and the tack leather is all an off-white colour. The blue fabric is very lightweight and silky in texture. A thicker fleece can be worn beneath it and the saddle in cold weather. The icicles are made from a translucent, reflective material that resembles ice or glass but is more durable. The cloths over the saddle could be interchanged, too, so you can wear either of them with either the daily tack or the dragonhunter set

I also realise that leg guards are missing, but I was really stumped on how to design them, so assuming they're a mandatory part of the dragonhunter tack, I'll update this before the deadline with them

This design is only for the prospective use of ~Secret-Assasin-Emery No one else has permission to use it.

Should this design not win, I may auction it off if there's much interest, so keep an eye out .



I've not really drawn a Nordy before, so I'm not certain the build/breed type is perfect, but on the whole, I'm quite happy with it And the mare may not have the official cut, but I had to have a go at it . Also, I love this horse's colour scheme!

And I haven't drawn so many snowflakes in one place for a long time - if ever XD.

A few hours (I designed as I went along, so there was a fair bit of experiment and erase.
No refs, other than some of the official Nordanner tack sheets.

Thank you!

And I've not got the time to officially open art commissions, but I am getting some interest, so if you wanted to commission designs for DA points feel free to note me (points would be between 200 to 400, depending on the complexity of the design you want)

Thanks for the interest!

Thank you - I'm glad you like it!

And I did go a little overboard on the whole 'winter' thing XD. And I do find breastplates awkward, usually, so its great to know you like it ^^

Thanks for the points, and I'll keep my fingers crossed I don't envy you judging - the other entry so far looks awesome, too!

Ooh, I bet you'll come up with something great. I like this overall, but the bits on their own don't look so good Maybe its just that I can't shade it, but I think it could still be better. I'm always my own worst critic XD

Good luck with it, though!

Thanks. I'm my own worst critic too. I have to do a lot of my pictures twice to get something to upload that I like

At least if you can see the problems, you can improve Its worse if you can never see where you've gone wrong, I like to think ^^
