[2 Mill] Character Foal Contest

If anyone knows me I am a pretty picky person. I've been on EV, now on November 4th, 9 years, and I've kept my characters down to only 3 the entire time XD They are pretty basic. 

I created Isolde when I got my first bamboo tablet so I could  practice on how to make charries, and her reference has only slightly changed over the years. Her coat is a bay roan of sorts with a few spots around, her trademark being the two hearts at her hip. She is of draft background, but definitely a hardy Appaloosa. 

Next I wanted her a little companion, and so many people were making 'mommy and me' style tags and images way back when, I created her an unnamed foal, who's name became Finn. Tristan is being redesigned, so I have to do Finn as well. He is going to be a darker sooty silver dapple of sorts.  

A few years later I wanted to complete the 'family' and create a mate for Isolde that would correlate a bit with Finn's coloring. Of coourse I had to name him Tristan. Tristan's color is subjective. I wanted him to be the in-between as far as making sense with Isolde and Finn's coloring. I imagine him as a sort of red dun/ liver chestnut. He is being redesigned to show some SILVER in his coat, mane and tail. 

--------------------------------------------------------

Why do I even bother telling you all of this? I want Tristan and Isolde to have another baby, and I want it to genetically speaking, somewhat match what I have in mind. Now, known that Appaloosa coat color/patterns are sneaky and crazy at times. I want to do sort of an unexpected surprise! What genes are lurking under their coat color patterns? Surprise me and see! The prize is 2 million. I would like custom lines, but if you are unable to do that then a foal style, non gendered drafty/elegant type would work as well. 

Do not use the background fill. At least attempt to do your prize moneys worth. I have some reference images of the patterns I am digging for this character. The spots need to be legible and easy recreated. 

Things that I like:
-Something unexpected
-Stockings and Bald faces
-Patterned stockings
-Broken coat patterns

Things I don't like:
-Unnatural characters
-Dark characters
-Dapples
-Bright colors (neons)

Reference Images for Patterns
***Note - These are straight from the internet, they are not meant to be traced or recreated in any way as they are most likely copy written by the original owners. These are simply a visual guide as to the crazy appaloosa pattern(s) I am thinking about for the foal.

I may come up with some more later, but wanted to drop this cute off here:



Silver roanish something something. XD I tried to basically integrate both parents without getting too dark.  There are some hidden hearts in there (neck, flank, leg) as a solute to mom!

Lines are my own.
