what a nose though

I think this is the last in my series of horse-ifying favorite characters, in this case Celes Chere. I decided to make her a flaxen chestnut, with that long blond hair, and given that her outfit is mostly made of brown tones, I could have then made her coat liver chestnut or red chestnut. But I decided to incorporate her sprite design, with her long white cape, and instead made her a graying-out chestnut. She's based on a Lipizzan, a war horse but a war horse with more than a touch of fanciness to her -- the sort of war horse who might, say, find its way into an opera setting.
