Current Entries: [link]

For this contest, I want you to design a mate for my bacabello mare, Akhalaia, AND I also want you to design their first foal together.

Akhalaia:




Current Deadline is: July 20th.

You must design BOTH characters, stallion and foal.

You must put them together in the same image.

You must name both characters.
Try [link] to get you started! You don't HAVE to pick a name from this list, it's just a suggestion--you can name them whatever you want.

You must come up with an interesting backstory for the stallion and how he met Akhalaia.

You may include Akhalaia in your entry if you want.

You may use lineart from other artists, as long as you have their permission.

You may enter as many times as you like.

I would prefer it if you noted me your entry, as I'd be most likely to see it.

You will be judged on creativity, not skill.

Read over the breed sheet again (thumbnail below) and the breed info journal before you start. Make sure you're following the rules of the breed, and ask me if you have questions.

*The Stallion*

The stallion may be ANY color basecoat. He can be a pinto, a roan, a dun, an appaloosa. Anything!

The stallion MAY NOT have Rarest Color markings! No lace, no onyx. Sorry, guys. He can have any other color, though, Rare, Less-Common, or Common.

The stallion may be any body-type you can think of (friesian, arab, clydesdale, etc) but he must be at least half pure-bacabello.

The stallion may be signed or unsigned, he may have magic abilities or he may not, it's all up to you. He can't have more than 3 abilities, though, and I reserve the right to change those abilities later on.

No mythic hybrids. Aka- no wings, no horns, etc.

*The Foal*

The foal may be either gender.

The foal's basecoat should ideally be genetically possible. A good site for figuring this stuff out is here: [link] A fun site just to play around with when you're bored. Use "Bay" for the Dam's color.

The foal's markings MUST be either Cobalt, Rouge, or Moss. There are hundreds of shades of each color, though (basically, blue, red, or green) so hopefully that's not too limiting.

Remember, bacabellos don't show their tattoos until they reach adolescence, so even if your foal is signed, it won't have its tattoos as a baby.

You may decide whether or not the foal will have magic abilities, but like with the stallion there can be no more than three and I reserve the right to change them.


_{Only one character may be in each prize art, even though some of the examples have multiple.}
