[Elenaria] Kelpie genders.... help???

[CrystalAngelNeko]

So I found myself stuck... I want to finish these sketches, but I'm not sure which should be the male or female... and there are extra details to each gender I will add to them depending on which... but yeah, that is where you all come in hand. Would you Vote on which should be which?

Kelpie 1



Kelpie 2

Coments are also welcomed, like why you chose your vote and such ^.~

the raised from hooves is a more masculine pose in my opinion a show of dominance
where the other pose looks more like a prancing thing which I know all horses do as well, but seems more female like

[Silvanon]

Already voted, but I wanted to add that I think the outlines are looking great, and I'm really exited for when these come out!

[BabyKittenCandy]

Im gonna echo both PM and Silv! Love them!

[Bunraku]

I definitely love kelpie 2 as the male, the pose just strikes me as masculine and a show of power

[Kahlira]

Agreeing with everything above. And must say I think I want a bunch of them. *nod*

[Saturnalia]

Agree with the above... and these are stunning!

[Lectral]

I voted opposite most - to me, while the second one's pose is a little 'masculine', the frame seems more delicate and graceful than that of the first one, who seems more muscular and powerful >.>

[DawnStar7]

I went against popular opinion as well, for mostly the same reasons Lectral stated.  The first pose, while not as masculine, definitely has a more masculine, muscular, powerful look, while the second pose, while slightly more masculine, is more streamlined and delicate looking than the first.  Also, I tend to correlate longer hair with femininity, which the second pose also has.  xD;;; 

But really, they both look stunning, and I do believe that after Fairies, these will be my new favorite breed thus far.  However the genes are assigned, I will be pleased.  Very great work, Crys!

[Rosedawn]

I'm big on faces and the curl of hair across the first one's cheek says girl to me.

[Kadana Sorano]

I think 1 female 2 male.  Though not for the pose, I actually would love to see some female equines or adopts in general with more "dominant" roles/poses.  But the second one looks more lean to me, while the first looks more full, and I always associate the fuller figure with female, for that extra "softness" most females acquire when pregnant.

[springacres]

I think the first one looks more muscular to me, therefore more masculine - whereas the second is leaner but also more delicate, thus more feminine.

[Bunraku]

I also agree with rose about the face-something about it says female to me due to the curls across the eye and the more "gentle" appearance this gives.

In all honesty I actually fine the lean delicacy of the male rather masculine, it gives a rangy wildness to the male, like corded muscle that's been given no leisure or room for softness due to a harsh lifestyle.

[Sarah Badr]

I think Kelpie 1 looks Female and Kelpie 2 looks Male.

It is so interesting to read the opinions on boy figure vs. girl figure here!  I love how diverse we all are.

The thick chest and full figure of the first to me say "Boy," whereas the *in-your-face-and-don't-you-forget-it* of the second are 100% feminine to me XD;;

[sera]

Agreed with skysnolimit entirely. xD  And Lectral, too. ^^

[Bunraku]

>w> You could let people pick a line art for the gender they desire instead of assigning genders? 8D

[sera]

Gads, no. |D  i have to roll enough things for breedings.  ^.~

Though it's not a bad idea.  <33 hehe
