ART BID FOALS OPEN - Winners Announced

Adoptions Closed! I'm happy with all of the entries that came in and you guys were such troopers about giving me what I asked for in effort and enthusiasm! Thank you to everyone who made an entry or wanted to!

They are a part of the huge batch I posted earlier but I wanted to bring extra attention to these special boys. These are my favorites from the batch and they are all rare or can be used to sire rare Piefries. 

Adoptable Piefries - ART BIDS OPEN UNTIL OCT 9TH

1. I get free breeding rights to these foals. Obviously I would let you know beforehand, I would do the breeding pictures, and you would get second pick from the possibly multiple foals. I will not abuse the breeding rights, and it would be unlikely for me to do more than 3 breedings. There are only a couple I actually PLAN on breeding to. But you would get bonus PP and a free foal if you wanted it, so I consider that a win/win.

2. You can bid on a maximum of 2 foals, INCLUDING the rest of the larger batch. So if you already won two foals, or one foal, in the auction, that will limit how many you can bid on with an art bid.

3. Take your time on these entries. Things to focus on: EFFORT, ENTHUSIASM, and STORY. The horse can be depicted as a foal, as an adult, and other foals/horses/parents can be included.* 
_{Your entry can be as many deviations as you like, so spend some time sketching the horse, getting to know it,  having it interact with other animals. Even if you don't win, you get PP for your entry pieces anyway, and so does the winner. Everybody benefits!
Sometimes I find I'm not attached to a design... until I start drawing it and a personality/story comes to me and I get RIDICULOUSLY attached. Some of the horses I've won, some I haven't, but that's the thrill of it!}

You must be a member of the Peafowl-Friesian group in order to own/breed Piefries! If you are new to Piefries, welcome!

This one was really tough, but this personality just spoke to me, and I loved how his mama Spice's personality was described here.

Fantastic as always, and I love the idea of this colt being a total mama's boy. I'm apparently a sucker for stories that feature the influence of the dam on their foals.

The story just blew me away, and the effort put into this traditional piece is obvious. Great job!

This one had pretty much won from the get go - a stunning drawing with a very unique story and obvious effort. Thank you!


*The canon home life for these foals is a nebulous one, some of my horses are more anthropomorphic than others, but I will accept the foals being born on the property of Starstruck Stables OR being part of a wild herd. An angsty story about an abusive owner or family or something wouldn't really make sense or be well-received, but be creative and really try to give the horse a personality beyond "loves apples and is scared of tarps."
