Hello!

So glad you found this blog :)

I do have some kingfishers (though the art is pretty old) -

But I don't have many parrot/lorikeet/parikeet pegasi. I tried them at the start of this project, but didn't really figure out how I like to mix horse hair and plumage colors until recently. I think a set of super colorful bird inspired pegasi are overdue!

Hello!

There isn't any prehistoric lore in this volume, but I plan to add some to volume 2 after the comic is wrapped up :) The comic will launch this summer.

I HAVE INDEEEEEED. He's non-canon and he is a little outdated, so I think our meme boy needs some new art soon!

~ Larn

Hello!

Yeah so longwing pegasi do dive for fish and seaweed :) I picture them more like gannets jetting into the water, then they sort of "fly" through the water + paddle with their legs around under the surface. Granted, I haven't built in an under-water features into longwings like closing nostrils or transparent eyelids...so diving into the water can be risky for longwings. Longwing dives tend to be slower than gannet dives for that reason.

Thank you :) My new job has thrown my schedule for a loop but I hope to get back to posting regularly again soon!

~ Larn

I have :D

The art is OLLLLD but I do have one -

Hi there!

So prehistoric horses and pegasi wouldn't really overlap in the SC world since pegasi "evolved" after horses were fully evolved, but I do have a couple of "prehistoric style" pegasi for funsies (though they aren't SC canon) :)

Archaeopteryx themed pegasus-

The quagga-dodo -

And of course the theropod pegasus lol

Sticker options! Since I can't get them ALL made, which are the ones you'd want to see made? They'll be approximately 2.5x2.5 inches (6cmx6cm)

Lemme know in replies/dms/tags/reblogs!

Horses can taste capsaicin...but bird cannot. What an amazing ask XD

I think that yes, pegasi can taste capsaicin, since their mouths are structured like horse mouths aside from the beak. Inside, they have gums and a horse tongue and molars. Capsaicin would also function on the skin like it does for horses, creating a feeling of heat or irritation.

LOL most flying cowboys don't let their pride get in the way of a good stampede string.

Scrubs, tho. Scrubs is too proud XD He can't even wear a hat string on the ground.

~ Larn

How many times has Scrubs lost his hat?

Hey everyone!

I've had more people lately ask about what Sky Cowboys is and how they can interact with the IP as a whole, so I'm creating a Community page over on the Sky Cowboys website to explain what a Sandbox Community is.

And on that page I'm featuring OCs, so if you have an OC you'd like to add to the gallery, toss me a DM :)

So it's shedding season and my horse's red markings are starting to shed out in weird ways. That shape that looks like it was clipped or rubbed off is approximately the shape of his tiger-striping above the hock XD

And I think it's an odd color shed because each time I see him lose hair (which is a lot, he's Mr.FightClub), the area underneath is lighter or black. Not red. I wonder if the rest of his red will shed out like this.

Very odd lol

Hello!

YAY I'm glad it arrived!!!

Hello!

I'm so glad you received your book <3 And I'm so glad you like it! I put a lot of time into it and it's fun to see it resonate with people :)

Heck yeahhh! Boltslayers are fun! One of the characters in the upcoming comic is a boltslayer. Here's a sneak peek of her -

These broadwings have extreme tenacity and focus. Just as important is the bond between pilot and pegasus. Both have to 100000% trust each other with zero doubts because when you're hunting lightning fish, doubt means death. Any pegasus that has those qualities can be used in a hunt.

2. Boltslayers most often hunt lightning fish as a job. The payday for felling a LF can be massive and can be residual as long as the LF is being harvested. Boltslayers work with trusted merchants who manage the harvesting after the LF is down, and collect the boltslayer's cut of the materials sold over time. So boltslayers don't have to hunt very often.

There are some who hunt for sport, but the majority of boltslayers see the sport hunters as posers and will avoid them. To a *real* boltslayer, pitting yourself against a LF will result in a death: you or the LF. Risking your life for sport is seen as stupid and disrespectful to the LF, who will throw everything it has at you. Why waste a whole LF for your own glory? Even if the LF is harvested, a sport kill is seen as cheap and distasteful. If you're a sport hunter, good luck trying to find a team that'll hunt with you.

That said, all boltslayers are crazy daredevils in some respect. Hunting LF is incredibly dangerous and difficult. It takes a certain kind of person to master it. Boltslayers like to spend time at Fen's Ascension and practice their skills in "mock hunts", where you're really just playing chicken with young LF and don't actually engage in a hunt to kill. This can be done alone, where as real hunts are done in teams.

Hi there!

I hadn't considered jackalopes to be a canon creature, but it seems kinda fun! Like...they're just usual mundane creatures for the SC world. Just lil hares with antlers. The young ones would have little nubbins!

Yeah I like that idea.
