I made the suggestion to alcinda of a dark pelt with a black jaguar type look, but lace markings on a horse instead of jaguar spots, and then a knight chess piece mask.

This is the concept I doodled. It's rough, and could use some more detail, but its difficult for me to create a stylized mask like I wanted. P: It's p much what I am imagining though!

I wanted to make a separate post for thoughts on it!

Happy happy birthday WildRose! This is my gift to you :]

EDIT 2: Messing around with accessories for him. I wanted him to be wrapped in shell jewelry. Very small shells, that wrap around the neck and drape over the face, like a mask almost. I know I should be working on coloring him properly, but I couldn't help by doodle the jewelry. x3

EDIT 1: I added color to him. Currently it is kind of a concept of what I am looking to do for him. I cut up an image of a seashell, and overlayed it across some color, to try and give him the luster he will have. It kinda worked. I am next gonna recreate it in paint, make it alittle brighter and more smooth.

I return with a new bab.

He needs ALOT of work, but he is soft and shiny like the inside of a seashell, and I cannot paint that well enough for my liking. He doesn't have a name yet, but I am calling him the seashell prince. So I guess that's his name for now. He's kinda chunky, blubbery. His skin has extra folds around the joints and bends in his body. He is also like a pale, dull baby blue all over, and the same pale, dull luster, but pink at the tips of his crown, all his joints, his face, the tip of his tail and his belly.

I had the perfect picto for him, BUT I haven't received the confirmation email, and I fear I put in a random email, and its just lost. v.v
