Loretta O Black you will always be famous to me 💛 Took a week or so off from art fight to work on Loretta's reference sheet because I just finally got the drive to do it lol. Then I lost my mind & did an expression sheet + her bonus outfits. Pecos gets his own little sheet too. I almost did expressions for him too but I refrained ✨ Including her old ref sheets because I just can't believe how far we've both come 😩 I owe everything to her tbh. So much history of my online presence is baked into this one character lol. Before there was One Piece & Trigun there was Red Dead Online & she was ground zero for everything that came after. Now I need to do an updated sheet for Olivia & probably expressions for Roland 💀 Just realized I forgot to include her guns 🙃 Process videos on are on tiktok. Main Expressions

[sleepyconfusedpotato]

Welcome to the world of RDR2! My fave artist plays my fave game?!?! What a miracle! If we may know, how does your Arthur and your horse looks like? 👁️👁️

Hello!! Thank you so much for the warm welcome! (❁´◡`❁)

I've known RDR2 since the day it released. I remember I was in sophomore year high school. Arthur CHARMED me almost immediately and it unlocked something in me ngl HAHAHAH. I'm most certainly not new to the story, I've watched 5 YouTubers and streamers play the game, I've known/recognized almost the easter eggs and all the strangers events from YouTube recommendations and stuff like those, so yeah, RDR2 used to be a brainrot of mine, until BOOM college happened.

Now that college is over, I'm completely free! I'm currently on Chapter 2 - Clemens Point. I'm super happy hunting for perfect pelts and fishing-- never paying my bounty to kill the bounty hunters so I can loot the shit outta them.

Anyway, here's my Arthur!

Black is hot, 'nuff said. The hat shall never be changed, that's a rule! Maybe I want to add some feathers to it though.

Here's my horse! He's an all-black American Standardbred called "Arson" (get it? cuz he's Arthur's son? like, Ar, Son, his son? And Arthur's a criminal get it...?)

I knew from the early days of the game that there's only one all-black horse in the RDR2 world -- the American Standardbred. I've memorized the place where he's located, and the first thing I do after the first horse stable mission with Hosea was to find him.

(Unfortunately he's a male, and I can't hear Arthur whispering "you're alright girl" "good girl" "eeeeeeasy girl" in my ear 😔)

ANYWAY, I have 2 other horses in the stable, I forgot their breeds, but I name them "Embezzlement" and "Vandalism" 😔🤣

I'm of course a High Honor, all I rob is just the bounty hunters after me. Don't worry I'm good with my Arthur 👌

Thank you for asking!

I'm most deffo gonna draw him 😉

🐎 HANKERING FOR HARPER | A HORSE RANCH-INSPIRED BACHELOR CHALLENGE

Meet Harper Cardona, SimsBC TV's first cowboy Bachelor. Even with his slightly rugged exterior, Harper has a kind soul and a heart of gold ready to be won. Will you be the one?

Age: thirty-two (32)

Pronouns: he/they

Sexuality: bisexual

Traits: rancher, self-assured, loves outdoors

The second-oldest of four, Harper has lived on his family's ranch for all of his life, learning the ins-and-outs of living off the land and appreciating the hardships that come with it. While his other siblings got older and moved away from the country life, Harper was the one to stay, holding down the fort with his father until his old man got too old to take care of the rolling acres.

Although Harper loves the ranch life, it can be quite lonely with no so-called "dating life" to speak of with your neighbors living miles apart from each other. This cowboy is looking for someone who appreciates the rougher, more hands-on part of life and who he could possibly ride off into the sunset with. Could you be that someone?

Likes: long walks on the ranch, horses, grilling, stargazing, playing guitar, blues, iced tea, freckles, horseback riding

Dislikes: sci-fi movies, flying, clowns, being late, laziness, snakes, closed spaces, cold weather, loud noises

Fun Facts:

Comes from a long line of ranchers and inherited his ranch from his father

Has an American Standardbred named "Lady"

Is deathly afraid of flying and airplanes

Is completely tone deaf but loves singing while playing his guitar

Some pics of my RDO horses ♥ Riot, Kentucky Saddler/Jude, American Paint Gambit, American Standardbred/Callahan, Mustang Friend, Andalusian/Johnny, Arabian

and then the last three are Taima and Falmouth (Charles' horses but they're in my stable bc we're married), I couldn't decide on one pic so I just added all three of my faves lol. They were supposed to be playing but that's hard to depict with limited options for horse animation + literally no knowledge on horse body language lmfao

There is ZERO information about Canadian Horses on this platform. It kind of makes my heart ache. I guess it’s my job to fix that. Here is a brief introduction. I’m quoting a website. I’ll do more personal blogging later on. This is just so everybody can get a feel for what the breed is about. This is my heart breed for equines.

✨Le Cheval Canadien/The Canadian Horse✨

“The Cheval Canadien is truly the unsung hero of North American horse breeds. The breed’s origins trace to 1665 when the first horses, likely from Normandy and Brittany, were sent to Canada by King Louis XIV of France. Over the next a century, a distinct breed developed from this founding stock. The fittest not only survived, but thrived despite harsh winters, hard work, and scarce feed, earning them the nickname “Le Petit Cheval de Fer” or “The Little Iron Horse.

A calm and willing disposition, excellent feet, stamina and strength, made it an ideal cavalry horse, and in the 1860s Canadians were sold by thousands to the U.S. Army to fight in the American Civil War. Americans eagerly bought up quality Canadian stallions to improve their own stock, and the Canadian Horse appears the early stud books of the Morgan, Standardbred, and Tennessee Walking Horse breeds. The Canadian Horse was threatened not only by exports, but by crossbreeding. By the close of the 19th century, Canadian officials recognized that the breed was in danger of being lost, and stepped in to develop breed standards and establish the first studbook.

Although these efforts resulted in a resurgence, the reprieve was temporary. Throughout the 1900s, as farms were mechanized, breed numbers diminished to the point to where it was virtually unknown outside of the province of Quebec. By the 1970s, only 400 registered Canadian Horses remained in existence, and less than five registrations were being recorded per year. Since that time, dedicated breeders have worked diligently to save the breed from extinction and to preserve the qualities of type, temperament, and hardiness that made the breed famous throughout North America 150 years ago.

The breed slowly made a comeback, hitting a population high of about 6000 horses in the early 2000s. Unfortunately with the economic downturn of 2008, it once again began dwindling and many larger and long-time breeders retired. Today the number of actively breeding mares is critically low, and only 100-150 new foals have been registered annually in recent years. This makes CHHAPS’ mission more important than ever.”

-All is quoted from https://chhaps.ca/about-the-breed/, our official breed organization website. It’s a helpful resource to showing you how the breed community works, and how you can support.

CHHAPS stands for “Canadian Horse Heritage and Preservation Society.” Although I don’t compete my horse anymore, and we haven’t been able to attend a lot of ambassador events (the sponsorship hasn’t been there since pre-Covid), I have renewed my membership every single year, and will continue to do so, even when he’s gone, to give support to the breed.

Since COVID began, numbers have plummeted, and are continuing to. Also there’s some “color breeding,” specifically trying to attain the palomino coat color, “INTENSE EYEROLL* happening within the breeding stock, not taking into account type/temperament/function/genetic diversity. It’s disgusting.

It costs $35. You DO NOT need to own a Canadian, or even ride horses, to support the breed. Heavily consider supporting ❤️

We also have a Canadian Horse-specific rescue organization too, “Canadian Horse Rescue and Re-Home Society.”

I saw a post about Arthur’s horses and now I wanna do that but for fanfic stuff

After Bodaceia (sp ??) passed, Arthur kept the Tennessee Walker from Adler ranch for only a short time. He sells the horse in exchange for Ares, a blue roan Ardennes.

Ares is an impatient war horse. Arthur got the name from Jack. The horse is fast for an Ardennes and sturdy, and the size of a Missouri Foxtrotter. Arthur forms a great bond with him.

Diana comes on the scene with her grullodun Breton, Althea.

Althea is on the older side- she was a wedding gift for Diana. She is very strong and loyal, with incredible endurance.

Once the events of Part 1 - Emerald Ranch are over… SPOILERS FOR THE FIC I HAVENT WRITTEN YET BELOW‼️‼️‼️

…and Diana kills her husband Eugene and joins the VDL gang, Bucephalus, Nyx, Phobos and Deimos join the crew.

Bucephalus is a buckskin mustang previously belonging to Eugene Wegner, and a very spirited one, similar to Ares. He takes to Diana right away once she kills Eugene, as Eugene was not a good owner. Althea becomes a horse to pull a small coach that Diana is given by Seamus. Diana also lives in the coach until she moves in with Arthur.

Nyx is the pitch black American standardbred belonging to Miriam Wegner (Diana’s stepdaughter). Later in the story, Miriam gets the beautiful Foxmore saddle from its original owner, Molly O’Shea.

Nyx is shared between Cripps and Miriam in my mind, with different saddles. Cripps uses a nice one he made from cougar skin.

Phobos and Deimos are two raven black shire horses- one of whom belonged to Hosea, who sold it to the Valentine stables. These are Cripps’ horses.
