How The Hivewire Horse (harry) Came To Be.

According to Wikipedia, Equus was a play by Peter Shaffer written in 1973, telling the story of a psychiatrist who attempts to treat a young man who has a pathological religious fascination with horses.

Shaffer was inspired to write Equus when he heard of a crime involving a 17-year-old who blinded six horses in a small town near Suffolk. He set out to construct a fictional account of what might have caused the incident, without knowing any of the details of the crime.

The play had a long run on Broadway here in New York.

Also aired on a public access channel in upstate ny when I was younger. interesting tale.

Then there was the day my cousin stood behind StarFire, StarFire got a home run and my cousin got a month of bed rest...
It has been my experience that one can not have too many digital animals, fact is I am still lacking 278,876,908,786 species of animals past and present for my collection....

It would be a great pleasure to have to enlarge my game preserve to make room for these....

Then this sweet beast of a Spanish bull. Laurie was simply applying her Friesian map I believe, just to see how the horse maps applied.

And the cow of course. Both still pure morphs from the Horse.

Still waiting for the release of this beautiful bull. I come to this thread often looking at it with envious and anxious desire. Oh what can say....I am frelling weird. But being a Tauran myself I just love anything and everything about the bull. Thought great in their day, Lynns bovines and especially her bull are still heavily used in my work. I need a serious upgrade.
One thing I hope comes with this animal is morphs for tht flap of skin beneath its jaw and down the length of his neck and chest making it somewhat poseable for those poses when he turns abruptly to toss his head....like poseable wind blown hair like in real life.
Also ballocks and a semblane of bully bits with a smart propped hair tassel at the end of it to make the bit look more real.

Sorry, Lisa. Took me a little while to see this post. Music and lyrics to Shannon.

HENRY GROSS
"Shannon"



Another day's at end
Mama says she's tired again
No one can even begin to tell her
I hardly know what to say
But maybe it's better that way
If Pop-pa were here I'm sure he'd tell her

Shannon, is gone I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island with a shaded tree
Just like the one in our backyard

Mama tries hard to pretend
That things will get better again
Somehow she's keepin' it all inside her
But finally the tears fill our eyes
And I know that somewhere tonight
She knows how much we really miss her

Shannon, is gone I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shaded tree
Just like the one in our back yard
Ah, just like the one in our back yard
Ah....
Just like the one in our back yard

Oh, love it.
Would love to see more pink in the ears I think since being thinner skinned they might come off a bit translucent thus showing more skin beneath the white hair. I see you added more pink around the genitals area and perhaps could also add more along the belly s well.
but the pink skin should be laced with the white from the fur instead of solid pink don't you think.
it might already be that way but i can not tell from the render details so sorry if I missed it.
Was this the texture you mentioned in the other thread you were working on or is this something else all together?
Wish I had this texture for the milhorse1 and the DAZ Donkey and Bison too. I love those figures but having it for Harry and for any other Harry based animal to be released will have to do for now.

Thanks so very much dear for showing me this. Look forward to seeing it happen !

Yep this is what I mentioned in the other thread, I tossed it together in about 5min flat lol so there is a far bit more work to do on it if its what you are after :)
Round the muzzle and genitals horses dont have any hair and very little that close to the eye but yes those parts do need a bit of work to make them look right. The pink in the ears is a good idea and possible on the tips, I need to go back and have a look at the pic's you posted as those are some of the best I have seen.

I all ready have some thing close for the mihorse1 out there that might be close enough for you :)

I'll see if I can get this and a few others like it wrapped up, still need to do manes, tails etc but I should be able to get a set of pale coats together for any who find that have a gape in the runtime
