Creation space
Summary
The Creation Space is a place where you can propose illustrations to be used on Howrse and win passes if they beat the vote.
These illustrations may be horse coats for the Golden Apple or landscapes for the Helios'sRay
The Creation Space is for all languages (English, German, French...). That means if you propose an illustration and it wins the vote, it will be available in all the servers.

How it works
- Proposing illustrations
Lasts for about 5 days.
Everyone can propose illustrations using the Black Pearl, which costs 2 passes. - Voting
Lasts for about 9 days.
Players of all languages vote on the illustrations once they have been validated - Selection
The most popular illustrations are selected and sorted by category
- Publishing
Near the end of the month, about 12 days after the voting ended.
The selected illustrations are published online in each of the site's servers.
The rewards
The day an illustration is published, each illustration earns its author:
- 10 000 equus
- Different numbers of passes for different types of illustration:
- 40 passes for a Golden Apple coat with no limitation on the number of uses.
- 20 passes for a coat with a limited number of uses.
- 30 passes for a Helios' Ray landscape.
At the end
Winning illustrations will be published online at the Black Market every month at the same time. Also, every month, a few Golden Apple coats will be published online for a limited time only. Once they run out, they will be removed from sale.
The Creation Space is for all languages, so illustrations that win can be from any country.

Creation
To create a new illustration, you need to use specialized software (such as Photoshop or Gimp, which is free).
You may never copy an already existing coat or an illustration found on another website. But feel free to find inspiration in photography. Your style can be realistic or imaginary, however you like!
To send your illustrations, you must use the templates provided:
When drawing horses, make sure to add a light shadow in the area below the legs on the ground. This will provide support that gives a better result once integrated on the game.
Try not to place important elements of the decor at the bottom of the landscape. They wouldn't be visible on the horses' profile page.
