Chocolate and Woodland Peophins
Chocolate can be a pretty colour when an artist tries, and here you can see the artist actually cared. Rather than the usual drizzle, the Chocolate Peophin is marbled with white chocolate in interesting places. The marbling effect is nicely swirly and adds elegance. The tail is a darker shade of brown for a 'dipped in chocolate effect'. There's the standard whipped cream with cherry on top as part of the mane, but it works pretty well, especially since it has nice sprinkles. The use of a dark chocolate faceplate instead of the usual gold is nice too. If I were to niggle, I'd say the tail should have been darker to make its dipping more obvious and that the entire mane should probably have been in whipped cream (or, at least, some different colour than the body), but these are minor niggles for an otherwise nice color.
Woodland is only the second to appear, and it does not disappoint. The use of multicoloured leaves for a mane was a really good idea, and the small twigs off the shoulder and tail add to the effect. The body has a nice, grainy appearance to it with good use of lines to give an elegant flow. The browns used are significantly different than those of Chocolate or Brown. There are a couple areas where dents appear which add to the realistic effect. If there is anything a bit off, it's the use of the standard faceplate instead of something more leafy. This is a minor thing, though, especially if it can be removed.
