Description: Digital painting of a carousel seahorse in profile view, facing to the viewer's right. It is shades of blue and turquoise with a lighter underbelly. Its reins are seaweed. The stirrup is an anchor shape. Two nautiluses appear to hold some of the iridescent purple drapery alongside the saddle. Mussels and barnacles are attached to the back of the cantle. Bubbly anemone peek out from under the blankets. Mother of pearl accents the bridle and girth. The seahorse has its tail curled around the blue carousel pole.
Description: A gray horse stands in profile, facing to the viewer's right. It lifts its front foreleg and slightly arches its neck, its head perpendicular to the ground. Its coat is lightly dappled and has white socks on every leg. It has a stylized, almost wood-carved look to the curling light brown tail. The mane is cut short, or roached. It was not the most common style on carousels but it was popular on carousel horses decorated in military themes. Digital illustration using Procreate and Affinity Photo.
Description: Digital painting of a little mountain tapir, labeled as a horse in the Deseret alphabet. This is a reference to a once-prominent Mormon apologist's theory that the Book of Mormon refers to tapirs when mentioning horses. It has been a long-running joke amidst niche online circles since. This is not intended as ridicule at any person or belief system-- simply a reference to a shared cultural symbol.
