create coats

Hi. Does anybody know how to create coats for your horse? I've seen some wonderful examples of created coats and its inspired me to do one of my own. If anybody could help me that would be great.

Please use the right forum...

To create a coat you must purchase the Black Pearl for 4 passes. You will recieve a pass for every 5 players that use your coat, with a limit of 40 passes per coat.

Hi, I would like to know how to creat a coat and put it on the Howrse.com website. I know that we need to have 4 passes to buy the golden apple but I want to create a coat:lol:

I dont know how to draw a coat i have everything i need except a website

You need to creat a coat on photoshop or gimp.

we know what do to do but we dont know how to do it...i have photoshop CS3 and ive tried doing tutorials i found but none worked out because i had a different program...please help me i would really like to know how to design a coat...please message me on howrse my login is milton_mew2
thanks

I made a coat but didn't send it in. It was the first one I made. It's in horseyqueen30'w (my) fourm. You should downloaded Gimp and go to devianart.com and look for horse lineart. Ask the person if you can use it. Go to gimp and color the horse, etc,.

Unfortunately, designing coats is one thing that you can't be told how to do. I recommend practicing a little with gimp, photoshop, or another program before posting your black pearl coat on howrse, just so that your effort is rewarded and people buy your coat!! Good luck, if you have any more questions I'd be glad to help!

I have gimp i just don't know how to make it????

When you say, use photoshop, when you make a coat what exactly do you draw and how do you submit it onto howrse?

can you put up the backround that you must put on the coat to submit it please?

hello i have a black pearl if anyone would like it. i dont want to make a coat so if someone wants my black pearl they can have it. my username 4 howrse is Lady Rebecca Hugos so if anyone wants my black pearl just search me and add me. 

Hi, on howrse I am knightriding. I use GIMP to do my stuff because I don't have any other programs. I use the paintbrush tool on a lineart/drawing and fill in the body with a colour set to opacity of 75% this will give it transparency of the muscle definition, etc. to add shine I add a lighter colour of that colour and then white in the middle, I then smudge it together. It's hard to explain, I am still a beginner, but if you want, PM me and I can give you some help

Okay so my user name on Howrse is ecostation1357 if you need further help.

You can download Gimp, Photoshop, or Photofiltre to draw your horse. You just draw it but most people start with a base. You can find some by asking people who create tons where they get theirs and if there is any way to get one. Then you draw on it and transfer it to the Standard Background:


And upload it to horse with the Black pearl and NOT the Golden apple and then you wait and if they send a message to you it is the real deal. You have either made it, or your coat has something wrong with it. If the link up there ^^^^^ does not work here is one to copy and paste:


HAPPY HOWRSING i also LOVE smileys!

hi on howrse my name is mermaidpink and i want to know how to use someone's black pearl coat,

Making a coat can be difficult, but it's not impossible. In fact, I used this very website to make the layout that I made for advice! I googled all over for advice.

GENERAL TIPS
For one, it is very important to have a good version of photoshop. The Gimp works really well, but there are other programs out there if you look.
Second, make sure that your coat is creative, but matches all of Howrse's criteria.
Third, you have to have the passes to get the Black Pearl. If someone does it for you and you want some credit for the coat, it doesn't matter. The coat will be counted as theirs.

HOW TO MAKE THE HORSE
This is the part everyone has trouble with. To begin...

Draw an outline on or off the computer. Scan it in if it is off.
You need a program to use. I use the Gimp, and highly recommend it.
The next step puts your observing skills to the test.
Note where the muscles are and the light comes onto a horse.
With this in mind, color and blur the horse, using different sized brushes for the main and tail.

I hope this helps for you all!
