Please Don't Feed The Horses

 GUYS. 🎉 My first time showing any of my self-painted custom model horses, and multiple have placed in the Top 3 in full classes 🥲 I am so thrilled!!

A progress update on this portrait model for the day! This grulla girl has such a dynamic coat, I started her shading before her static details. I've completed multiple layers of shading here - both light and dark, and began adding metallic accents to emulate her super healthy, shiny coat. Her dun markings are starting to take form now too. You can really see here how much that slight gold shimmer in just a couple places really warms her up overall! Varnishing always tones down shading, so it can look a bit dramatic leading up to that.

My shark teeth and tassels were stuck at the post office for a month - So close and yet so far! Happy to be working on these finally. :)

 I'll be updating these in their various applicable places around the web tomorrow probably, in the meantime, here's the whole gamut!

Foundation Quarter Horse stallion, Breyer Traditional 1:9.

Did some hunter schooling with one of our recent custom projects today! I wish the jump had come in before our rainy season started. I could make this into a half decent scene on grass I think.
