One of the horses on a ball is very recognizably a James Baxter[1]!

A big thank you to the moderators for giving this link a second chance!

I'm just now am doing a write-up on how different online communities draw horses differently - and on the amount of penises they draw. Some very visible differences there.

I also want to share that I'm looking for work. Doing (web)art is fun, but I noticed that I like good food too. If you ever wanted to work with a creative coder, need research into new ways of interaction design or just need some good old UX/UI please do reach out!

My Pegasus and my Space Invader weren't selected :(

Anyway, I remember a very good Godzilla and a moonwalking Michael Jackson. I think the post need an additional row for weird.

Oooh, there are just so many horses - more than 600 000 - that it's a tiny chance to actually see your drawings! And there are around 50 000 drawings marked as non-horses - all kind of weirdness - that could be an exhibition on its own..

Thank you for drawing, a typical drawing is seen more than a hundred times, so your pegasus and space invader were seen and appreciated : )

Nice game. I draw like 10 "horses". The first didn't move the legs because I didn't understand the idea, then I started to add moving things, and then weird things like the space invader. Anyway, mines were not as good as other examples I saw.

Is clicking and double clicking some kind of voting system?

Yes, on the original gradient.horse it was an early experiment in hidden moderation - and it did help hide quite a few of the less kind drawings. Now, as the moderation model trained on the larger corpus works quite well, it's just for fun.

One of your snails is clearly a chambered nautilus instead. :)

No dicks?

spython•5 minutes ago

So many dicks! Roughly 4 percent of all drawings are dicks. With over 600 000 drawings that means.. Twenty five thousand dicks. I thought about including them, but as with all the other transgressive drawings, the only person who enjoys looking at them is the one who drew them.
