Classic Mustang

I finished this guy a little while ago, but haven't had a chance to take photos of him until today. I'm really happy with the way he turned out.

These pictures are actually over a week old, I've been really lazy about getting them up on this blog, I'm getting close to the end of him now and should have more pictures soon. I might give him a white sock or two, I'm not sure yet.

I originally painted this guy to a chestnut pinto, but it was one of my first repaints and I made a lot of mistakes with the mapping, and in general I thought it looked sloppy, so I decided to strip it and repaint. I'm planning on making him a buckskin with a sooty forehand. This is after some work with the airbrush. He looks a little too yellow for me at this point.

Mink Medallion Finished

Well, he's done! The photo reference that I used for this horse had a brown eye, but I thought I'd give him a blue one, for the practice. He will be a donation piece for the 2008 NWC.

Mink Medallion

Here is a work in progress of the stunning Sarah Minkiewicz medallions that were given as prizes in the vintage classes at Emerald Custom Classic in Washington state last year. I am donating this to Northwest Congress for 2008. At this stage I have blocked in the color with acrylic and gone over it a couple of times roaning, both with acrylic paint and colored pencil.

I haven't decided yet what colors to paint the background, I'm open to suggestion!

SM G1 Arab Pinto

I meant to show in-progress pictures of this model, but I got obsessed with working on it and couldn't put it down to take pictures, so here he is almost finished. I still need to gloss his eyes and hooves.

PAS

I've been slowly working some more on the PAS. I finally broke down and blew up a tracing of the reference photo I'm using for the pose, so that I could block in the basic shape. I'm terrible at measuring and the proportions always come out wrong.
