Source: [https://rybakov.com/blog/what_else_do_people_draw_on_gradient-copy.horse/](https://rybakov.com/blog/what_else_do_people_draw_on_gradient-copy.horse/) Since[gradient\.horse](https://gradient.horse/)went online in January 2026, six months have passed, and more than 600 000 horses \(and non\-horses\) were drawn\. There are now more horses on gradient\.horse than in the wild\. The image model I trained to filter out vandalism works very well, but it also hides a lot of ingenious drawings\. You could see them if you’d activate the SHOW NON\-HORSES setting, but most people do not\. Interestingly, there are some topics that appear again and again \(besides the obvious desire for transgressive expression by drawing dicks and slurs\): people on skateboards and trampolines\! Snails\! Sea horses\! Memes\! Texts on love and philosophy\.\. I’ve gathered some here for you to enjoy: Seahorses of course\. Still horses, but with more sea\. Horses that are jumping \- on a ball or a pogo stick\! Skateboards and trampolines Catepillars, centipedes and other processions Snaaaails\! Dragons and dinosaurs Wheelchairs\! People and horses with mobility upgrades\. Bikes and horses on bikes Important philosophical discussions Hearts\! Of course, many many hearts Elephants, cats, sheep and other animals Crabs\! so many crabs\! Pegasi and pegasuses and finally, the absurdist meme of the year: And after all that, is something still missing?[Draw it\!](https://gradient.horse/)
