Newest Addition to the Herd

Lately, I added a new horse to my herd. She is a big beautiful CollectA Belgian, with the sweetest personality for a model horse I think I have seen yet. My Breyer PAM is sweet, while my Ravel has an excellent personality, but I think this horse tops them all.

Not only does she have a sweet personality, but she is BIG, and DRAFTY, and HEAVY. I think this has to be one of my favorite additions to my herd so far. And of course, I couldn't have a new horse at the same time as new snow without trying to get some new photographs!


Just look at this face, will you???!!! 
What a good girl! I can't decide on her name though. I have a few ideas. I like the name Bella. I also like the name Mariah. What about Ellie? What about a good old fashioned Nelly? I can't decide!

Meanwhile, I have been working on looking to maybe add a Peter Stone to my herd. I really love the Arabians, and my favorite has to be a Padron's Psyche.

At the same time as all of this, my NaMoPaiMo model and a few others are making their through their new paint jobs. Slowly but surely!

Meanwhile, please vote on which of these names you like best for my Belgian Mare!

Nelly
Bella
Mariah
Miranda
Ellie

An Odd Horse Color

Image
I just recently received a new order for a custom, and this is the picture I received: I took a look at the picture and had the typical thought process of, "What a pretty horse. Plain, simple bay. That will be easy enough. Silly guy has clearly been laying down, look at all that dust [I realized my mistake later]! What a nice barn... etc." And the the detail pictures started rolling in and I got the shock and thrill of my life. What a fun custom to do! And what a strange color. As her o wner says, " I like to say she’s part zebra."  Yes, I would say that is accurate... Look at those legs! Part Okapi might be more accurate. And look at that back! Does this count as counter-shading? The colors doesn't stop there. It also extends to her front legs... And her brightly colored face. Thank you C for letting me post these pictures on my blog! Your mare is stunning and I look forward to getting started on her!

After A Couple Of Years (And multiple customs)...

Image
 Okay, it has only been couple of months since I last posted...  I have to give so many updates! Here is what I have finished... I felt like these took forever with canceled family vacations, visiting family, and college starting back up. This picture makes their eyes look scary! Oooh! My Horse of an Odd Color is done. She took FOREVER! Here is what I am working on right now... 40,000 hairs and counting... The bull looks much better now. I have colored his legs and shaded his muzzle down. I don't have picture. And finally, I survived Breyerfest and added, ahem, one horse to my herd. At least it is a mold and color that I really like. Oh, make that two... The long desired Padron's Psyche finally made his way to my house, and for a flat $100. I think he's gorgeous. And of course, he had to be named in the typical pattern. He is now named after the carrier Natoma Bey (Bay)... I also got a Breyer Classic Arabian Stallion for my Birthday. His name is Remey, a Cruiser. Apparently

More Customs...

Image
 Once again, I put months in between blog posts. Well, at least that is a lot of updates of the portrait horses I've painted. But first, here is a new resin I recently bought to add to the shelf herd. She will be painted dappled grey. I also just recently traded my Beachcomber, Constellation, and Padron's Psyche away for this guy. He is OOAK and worth at least $250. Not to mention the fact that he is LSQ. Now, enough of this. Back to my customs that I have recently finished. Trip is finally done. She took forever, and was finished with over 50,000 individual hairs. Her owner was very pleased with the portrait. I also finished Jewel. She too was a hard one, as she was my first white grey. I am also working on an SCO and Giselle. The SCO will soon be done. Giselle is not quite as close to being done. Three more ponies are also getting their finishing coats of gloss, and will soon (haha) be posted here.
