hello friend i'm not sure if this is just for me but it seems that the URL of shirecorn dot tumblr dot com is broken, which means all your redirect links to your tags aren't working? just wanted to give you a heads up, but it might just me!
It's working for me! Some of my links for browsing my tags have "chrono" at the end, which allows you to read everything in a tag organized from oldest first. It turns out these links don't play with the mobile app.
But that's the only thing I can think of. Your problem seems more extensive than that. Hopefully tumblr isn't on my ass for fish tiddies again

Why is the newborn dragon you drew recently so grotesque?
it was actually a commission! I offer creature combos where people pick what animals to mash and then leave all the details to me.
The Scungle was because someone asked me to combine "dragon" and "baby pigeon" and wanted it to be pathetic. Baby pigeons really do look like that!

Imagine the opposite.
Shining Armor as the prince of love as this Eldritch beast & Cadence is a smol mortal & the princess of life.
(correct me it I’m wrong but I swore I saw Shining Armor is the prince of life.)
shining armor is the prince of marrying a hot babe.
If he were a god though, he would be the god of protection

Hi! So I just had a quick question about the kirin's, are their horns also modified antlers like your unicorns? Also random but your kirins lowkey look like they sound like elk or smt.
Kirins are actually more closely related to manticore and lions than to ponies. Their horns are keratin growths and do not shed.

I'M SORRY I'M SORRY
TWAS APRIL FOOLS
I DIDN'T THINK ANYONE WOULD BELIEVE ME
I'm a big boy i am in fact a big boy please believe me don't draw me smallllllllllll
But if I was teeny tiny.... This is what I would look like
How tall is Shirecorn?
It occurs to me that I never specified how tall my fursona is. Horses are typically measured in Hands, which is about the width of an adult's hand, measured from thumb to pinky and stacked like so:
The hands reach up to the withers (shoulder) of a horse, rather than measuring up to their head.
The top of the withers is actually determined by the long bones that protrude off the back of the spine, rather than the upper edge of the horse's shoulder blade. It's a bit of a misnomer to call them bones, as they are part of the vertebra, not joints connected to it.
You have spines too, but yours are not as pronounced as those of ungulates (hoofed mammals) nor as epic as spinosaurus.
in horses, the muscle that lays on top of these bones determines the height of the withers.
A "Hand," understood as a standardized unit, is equal to 4 inches, 10.16 centimeters. Modern competitions and the professional horse world measure exact to the withers height in centimeters, but your average cowboy still talks in hands.
The first horse is 14 hands, so 56 inches/142.24 centimeters at the shoulder. That's on the smaller end of average for a horse! For those whose perception of height is compared to their own, that's 4'8, so the shoulder is below the top of most peoples' heads.
The tallest horse breed in the world is the shire horse.
These massive horses can reach 19 hands tall! To make it even, let's have both our guy and our shire be 17.5 hands tall. That's 5'10, 178 CM at the shoulder and top of withers.
Where does Shirecorn fit into this?
I represent myself as a shire unicorn with fluffy feet and a blueish coat. Until today, everyone has had to guess my height whenever drawing or picturing me. I haven't really gotten into it because I knew I needed to explains hands, withers, and average horse heights. But with all that out of the way, I have created a height chart to show Bo vs a typical shire, vs a human.
Don't get distracted by the typical shire silhouette. I just threw that in there to show how I measure up.
This is me:
That's right, I am 1 hand tall. That's 4 inches, or about 10 cm, measured at the withers! If you use the top of my horn, you'll get the wrong height.
But now that you know how to measure a horse, you can picture me in all my Shirecorn glory.
Go ahead, put in pocket. Take on adventure. Set me free. Stack shirecorns up to measure horses and humans alike. The power is in your hands.
