ooo i like this boi too! i love his mane & tail, his forelock reminds me of marth's hair XD

also lateish replies to stuff (i probably should post this on the last page of the sad chrys comic but eh im already starting so here goes) :

marcus definitely would treat chrys differently meeting her knowing she's close with raph versus not knowing :p

not knowing, he'd be fairly neutral toward her, maybe even a little nicer than he usually would be because of chrys' resemblance to marissa and her having a pink coat - pink coats are attactive to marcus. lol

knowing that chrys were close to raph, marcus would either question her about if she knows about raph's past actions or straight up dislike her if she says yes and chooses to hang with him anyway.

marcus actually tends to be atleast somewhat neutral toward most but he's rude, blunt, unapologetic and doesn't exactly have a lot of patience (with others, atleast) which causes most to see him as an a-hole and treat him as such which he reacts to accordingly & is intentionally rude to them. --

--also, some of his rudeness (the blurting out of many swears, especially "f**k") actually isn't him intentionally being rude. to him, most swears aren't disrespectful. lol
(now, some are, and he uses those when he means to be rude. ones like c**t and such.

if he were real, people would be like O.O when overhearing him talk lmao)

also yassss the idea of chrys wearing cloaks to conceal her wings is really cool! her & raph both could wear them, ive drawn raph wearing one once (posted it but never finished it)

later on after he's ran for a bit and the regional locales and countries become more familiar with his unusual features, his primitive type coat with stripes on his legs and his primitive tail, he wears cloaks to hide those features, especially his tail. (he keeps it close to his body under the cloak)

his absurdly long mane is another unusual feature but it's not as significant as his coat because extensions are a thing lol
(though poor too-honest-for-his-own-good raph wouldn't even think to lie and say he has extensions)

also also i haven't really worked out the castle/palace's design out but i definitely think it would have /atleast one/ big garden/courtyard area and have a library too. probably not the biggest library, some other castles somewhere would have bigger ones, but it would have a passable one.

*imagines chrys in a plant filled (with alll kinds of species) courtyard and is all starry eyed* it's her heaven lol

O wow he's gorgeous!

yep that fjord is the bounty hunter i mentioned xD i freaking loove him and i think that with some time and developement, he can get up in my top fav chars. (i don't have the top favs very ordered but i know marc, marissa & raph are top 3. i can see fjord boi reaching no 4)

but the thing i love and dislike about him is his coloring & patterns, i love how he looks (fjord horses are super cool to me) but he's gonna be a biig pain in the bum to shade when i make shaded pics of him.

countershading (the darker areas on the upperparts) and pangare/"mealy" coloring (the whitish color around the muzzle and eyes, on the throat down to the chest, belly and underside, on the inside of the legs and near the flank) in particular are annoying to shade :'D

(random thing: marissa's patterning is similiar to pangare/mealy but ive made it a unique case of normal "random" body markings instead of pangare and put outlines around the markings, makes them way less annoying to shade)

ffffff stupid blood blister on my index finger is making it hard for me to type (and draw, i wanna draw but can't), i'll reply to the other stuff later-

i wanna say though, no problem on you being slow to reply. really, dont worry about it, it's okay-- im really bad about being slow to reply myself (often from not feeling like it) and i was slow to reply to your stuff in the first place.

if you don't feel like replying, take however much time you need and don't pressure yourself to try to reply at a given time. :^)
