I hope more of the Centriiost Project's artists will enjoy creating their own characters.
Does she have a name yet? I would like each artist to name their original characters themselves, but if you cannot/do not want to, then I will have no trouble doing so.
Overall, this is great linework and a fine presentation. I think her neck looks a bit long in the expressive view in the upper left corner, though. Also, I must say that the head is a little too equine for my taste - the same with Qwistos' - but if you do not want to revise it, then I can probably learn to like it. {It is the traditional, rounded cheekbones which I don't like for the anthro renditions, I think.}
And the same point about her "hoovgits" as for Qwistos'.
Running down the list of things which jump out at me:
Her breasts and nipples almost look just as I want them to for the fema unicoes; a little more elongated/ovoid in the overall shape of the breasts would be preferable. And perhaps the same for the areola of each nipple, as well, and bigger(wider/longer) nipples in relation to the size of the breasts.
The horn is superbly depicted! Just like I want.
Really thin legs scare me, but I can get use to them. They are certainly modeled after the delicate thinness of an Arabian! {I would be deathly afraid that I would break an Arabian if I rode one!}
I love the range of poses you have depicted her in, and her tail is nicely carried in all of them.
CDSS FORMAT NOTES: Do you consider this work finished? A CDSS is supposed to have only one completely nude full body view, and at least one clothed full body view, with the required third view either being nude and embellished with hairstyling, shaving, bodypaint, skin/furtats and jewelry, or also clothed. I assume you are aware of this and are just waiting for my approval of her physiology before you "dress" two or three of the full body views. Am I correct that you are clear on this point already?
You have included two more views than I require in a CDSS; one each of "full body" and "expressive". I appreciate the extra views, but in case you might not want to go to the extra trouble in future, I just wanted you to know.
Ticklish with glee,

~Dreams are meant to be lived~
I tried to change the breast a bit and did the "hoovgits" as you want them (I hope : ]).
I wouldn’t like to change the head shape. Partly because I like it – it is close to horse and horses are perfect – yes I am crazy about horses
My point is that this someone drawing your comic will chose what he/she needs and will do it with her/his own style anyway, maybe closer to what you want. But to do it quick my work will help – because I show sharp what the specific horse breed features are and this other person won’t be forced to look throughout pictures of horses and make an average.
: ] anyway what I like about Unicose is an opportunity to draw horses parts in them so I don’t think I will easily change my style…. unless you will tell exactly what you want.
Arabians can carry heavy weights as any other horse – don’t be frightened. I would be afraid rather of myself riding young Arabian horse – they have spirit for sure and if they don’t want to do what you want them to do and you are not an experienced rider – you have a problem XD
Seriously – please decide what leg style you want for Unicos –mine or *Warwind [link]
To be honest I didn’t have internet when I was doing Abira Dancer and didn’t remember what the CDSS should contain.
Somehow I was sure you wanted views from face, side and back and facial expressions XD I will remember now. So here are two more views with cloths and hairstyle and some jewelry.

The name "Scheherin" sounds great to me! I believe an american ould pronounce that name "share-inn" and spell it "Sharon". Does that look/sound right to you? Exact pronounciations are important to me. I will stick with your spelling, of course. [Incidentally, if you do not mind my having done so, I have decided Scheherin will be a slave of the nomadical centrii chief, Nympholic.]
The breast looks better; close enough so I am pleased. The same with the hoovgits. I would have the little hooves shaped slightly different, but I can depict exactly what I have in mind myself.
You can leave the head as it is and you will receive no objections from me. Preference is everything, and I prefer each artist to be comfortable in their field of work for the Centriiost Project.
You grasp my current intentions for the CDSSs correctly; they are to be major references for the comic artist teams when the time comes for major production.
I agree with your thoughts about telling each unicoe specie apart from the others with only a headview. That will be useful and the more interested readers of the comic might like it. Your CDSS work for the different unicoe species should serve the comic artists well, just as you have outlined, by saving them some research.
I respect your artistic interest in depicting horse physiology in the Unicoes; I can firmly suggest no changes, as I rarely know 'exactly what I want'.
As far as being an inexperienced rider and Arabians having "spirit", I have some serious spirit of my own, and a superior intelligence over them. Not to mention I love horses and they are incapable of truely loving in return. I think I could meld my spirit with that of any Arabian horse given time. No question of dedication. If I ever purchase a horse in body, its heart will be my life from that time on. It hurts me so much to even look at them now...
In all honesty, I prefer Warwind's. For two reasons: 1; hers are more anthro style, which is easier for most artists to depict and more the flavor I am looking for in the anthro theme physiology for the bi-pedal, intelligent species of the Centriiost Project, especially if the styling of your heads for the unicoes is what the comic artists choose to depict. 2; especially for the unicoes modeled after a breed with a more delicate physiology, I find that thin legs - the joints therein - do not appeal to me visually. [However, if you prefer the realistic leg physiology you have portrayed in "Abira dancer", and will find it easier to consistantly render, I will have no objections if you choose to keep working in that style. I am sure I can get used to that delicate thinness of a character's legs which gives me the impression that they will break an ankle just walking!]
Glad to have the clothed views! What is it about the romanticism attatched to belly dancers and gypsies? Nice clothing/hairstyles and jewelry. The second outfit would put her in the desert for a ride after sunset or just before sunrise, is my fancy.
Can I bother you to make one more revision to "Abira dancer"? Please, if you have no objections, choose two of the original nude views you did and "embellish" them. Painting marks, some jewelry, brand marks, shaved fur, a touch of braiding; whatever you feel like. Even if you do not want to do anything of this sort for Scheherin, it will show various embellishment possibilities and they can always be used on other characters whose personalities they will fit more appropriately.
Gladly,
~ Skyler

I tried with *Warwind wersion of legs, it looks a bit different thou. How u like it? Should I work some more on this in Qwistos? – I will do his CDSS in about 3-4 days.
I also changed the head a bit – it is hard to notice but maybe you like it more this way.
