The ultimate short cut; take one design, color it differently, and VOILA, two character designs done.

Luckily I had a bit of practice drawing horse bodies when I had to draw a bunch of Mythic Centaurs on another project I worked on over a year ago.

Horse Lips

No sound on this lip sync post, I don't want to give away any dialog.

a horse is a horse...

...of course. As I stated before, I did the storyboard before any designs were done. In some cases the final design is worlds apart from what was roughed out in the board, even so far as boarding a character as a male only to have the character be female in the final design. However, in this case, I pretty much just cleaned up the rough scribble in the board without changing anything for this character design.
