Spirit haunts you wherever you go.

Sun Jan 11, 2009, 1:42 PM
*edit* for those who keep asking who "Spirit" is. I am talking about the movie "Spirit the Stallion of the Cimarron"

Ugh honestly people..stop with the spirit comments. Really..please.

I try, well a lot of us try, to achieve our own styles in equine cartoons/art. We don't care to hear all the time that our crap reminds you of Spirit. Hell I look at my stuff and Spirit and it barely looks like Spirit. Have fun matching up the lines. I haven't worked on my styles for the past few years for nothing.

I'll admit right here, when I look at cartoon horses Spirit does pop in my head LMAO he HAUNTS me. But you know? I remind myself that Spirit is not the ONLY cartoon horse out there. Even the horse cartoons older then Spirit get that cliche comment so it's not always because yours came after Spirit arrived on the screen. Personally I try to see what makes their style unique and different from others. Not to constantly try and stick it on Spirit. I understand for most of you that Spirit is your childhood cartoon and probably the first ever inspiration to draw horses. I owe Spirit a lot for re-inspiring me to draw horses.

Please guys refrain yourself from repeating that stone-age comment. It's so..sooooooooooo old. So friggen old. So eight years old. So cliche that I wanna scrape the skin off my arm and rub lemon juice and salt on it. I believe most of us have heard it millions of times. It's like the Black Plague, only with spirit the stallion, all over again.

We don't care. Most if not all of us equine artists have seen Spirit. We don't need a constant reminder of it.

Now don't get me wrong. A lot of us adore Spirit. It's just really really old.
Remember. Spirit is NOT the only horse cartoon, he's NOT the only one of that color and there will probably be many more horsie cartoons in the future. He's NOT the first first cartoon horse to sport eyebrows either! Want proof? well here ya go. altivo(sp?) existed way before him. Oi Vey.
[link] and look at that face.. considering this is also dreamworks I believe spirit may have gotten some of his makeup from this dude.
Just because it's a cartoon horse with eyebrows doesn't make it spirit.

Anyways enjoy more of my artwork later on! I'm just sitting around drawing till the Army gives me a "yay" or "nay" to join according to my waiver.

Ugh, I hate when people think that all cartoon/etc. horses MUST be Spirit fan art. Your work doesn't even look like Spirit! :P

Well said! I don't get those comments (yet lol, not enough people watch me to comment XD) but they annoy the heck out of me (I mean, I liked the movie and all, and it inspires me to draw, but really, wtf is up with the huge obsession? LOL). I, for one, don't see any Spirit reference in your art. It's unique and different and I like it :D

<Hork-Bajir, come on out,> I said firmly. Slowly the big creature crawled out. He stood erect, blinking in the dim evening light.

"Not Hork-Bajir," he said. "Jara Hamee. My name. Jara Hamee."

:giggle: Good point. Well made :aww:

Thundering hearts,
Pounding hooves,
Flying over hills, valleys and grooves,
He is the shadow,
The stars in the sky,
We are not earth-bound,
So lets take off and fly.
