C A S S I U S

This is Cassius, and he is literally the only character I have ever made whose basic design and name came to me pretty much in his voice. I woke up at like 3am one night and this guy was like "Hi. I'm Cassius. I'm a chestnut, and I have a white forelock. Make me." So I did. xD

I had him made on RLTW, as in I had him born there. He has a lot of big names in his pedigree, including Evander (a Light, and the former Light King before my character Arion took over.), Unholy Trinity (a Dark), Archetype (a former Light King turned Dark. Brother of Arion's mother Essence, who is the former Light Queen.) and FEAR (an extremely well-known Reject. The Rejects have now disbanded by order of the Dark King Ranjit.)

So yeah, I am insanely happy with the image. I was very very surprised at myself that I was able to completely remove the giant blaze that the stock horse had. Also, through Cassius's birthing process, he gained red hooves which are super awesome. So you aren't seeing things. xD Those are supposed to be there.

As far as his face marking goes, I had no idea what it was going to be at all when I decided he would have one. o,,o It took me like 10 tries but then I drew one half of what his marking actually is and I thought "hey, maybe it would look cool if i did this" so I did what you can see there on his face and it turned out to be glorious. xD

song lyrics: i know they don't really fit the scenery of the image, but i had to use "Into The Ocean" by Blue October
