-1-<Tanis> (Redone)

Why?
Might as well go for broke. :b As a character, Tanis is a mishmash of a several Malkavians I played through the course of wasting my time with Vampire: the Masquerade. It's been a while since I played a paranoid schizophrenic, and Tanis has some issues that would make for some interesting psychoses... His accessories are mostly due to my affection for ghost stories.

Estimated Cost
A lot.

.: Flutter Soquili:.
Colorist wanted:
Name of horse: Tanis
Owner: Sylan
Gender: Male
Temper: Haunted
Breed: Spirited

Description:
Eyes: Black cloacae with eerily bright, very pale blue-gray irises that appear to glow faintly. There are dark circles under his eyes, in keeping with the generally deranged, unkempt look.
Expression: Has a fretful look instead of the usual smile.
Hooves are also black with ridges of bone white.
Body: Dark gray, fading to light gray around the hooves. Numerous small, old/pale scars (appear to be the work of human fingernails) crisscross his neck, legs and flanks. Looks somewhat malnourished; ribs are visible under the skin.
Wings: See ref, possibly even more ragged looking.
Hair Color: Dirty looking and pale gray, closer to white in places.
Mane Style: Custom. Similar to default medium style, but a bit longer, disheveled looking, and flipped to the other side of the neck. It hangs in his face around his eyes, and falls limply down his scarred neck.
Tail Style: Long.
Jewelry:
Wears a tarnished silver pocket watch on a likewise tarnished chain. The watch lacks a cover, the glass over the face is smashed, and the hands are missing. The roman numerals on the face go up to 13.
-Dirty/off-white bandages with dried blood on them are wrapped around each leg; they’re similar to those from the trading post, but his appear to be slipping and unraveling. One even trails on the ground.

-2-<Saffron>

Why?
It's simple. Saffron in looks and personality is based off the character of the same name from the Firefly TV series. I'm not very fond of Soquili in clothes, but one episode does have some nice jewelry to go on...

Estimated Cost
550k

-3-<Sherri>

Why? This Soquili based off a Changeling: the Dreaming character I played years ago. Sherri was a mildly psychotic Unseelie punk pigeon Pooka. There's a bad joke behind that (Rock Pigeon -> Punk Rocker :b). Despite her unusually cruel demeanor she was just as bird brained as her animal seeming. As a pigeon Pooka living in London, she was easily able to spy on other changelings by assuming her animal form and blending in with flocks of other pigeons. In the end she was killed by a nightmare chimera while seeking shelter in the sewers from a mob of Seelie Changelings. She had a good run, and generally gave Pooka a bad name with her antics. She remains one of my favorite RPG characters ever, so that's the reason behind this pigeon wind soq with the weird accesories.
Here is a drawing another player in the chronicle did of Sherri. It's the inspiration, but not necessarily reference.

Instead of feathers, the tail's braids are decorated with assorted charms- a yellow blood spattered smiley face, a blue crystal, a pink heart in a white circle, and a green apple (each spaced well apart).
Hooves: Similar to pigeon foot. Dark pink with black tips. Streaks of black bleed up into the pink.
Wings: Same as a banded rock pigeon wing.

-4-<Valtiel>

Why? Because I loves me some Silent Hill, and I wanted to make something that compliment's astra's Red Pyramid Soquili. Valtiel's not quite as awesome as Pyramid Head, but the first time you play through Silent Hill 3 you inevitable wonder what the ******** he's doing. Funny thing, he's the only benevolent monster in the game... Well, he never tries to attack you anyway. His design has that classic Silent Hill feel (blood and rust, woo), even if his head gear isn't quite as iconic. He'll make for some weird looking foals in Soquili form if it ever comes to breeding, but what the hell.

-5-<Jhor>

Why?
The pets for Warcraft characters bug bit me. This is an alternative to Tanis, so some of the design elements are the same. I like scrawny things. :b
