Misc Stuff

Here's the little Imp commission I'm working on. He's going to be a minimal pinto, so I think I'm going to make his front legs white and also  a patch over his shoulder. I wanted to have at least one leg without white to show the soft shading on his legs, but I wasn't positive that was something that happened with tobianos, even minimal ones. I had to search for a while, but I did find a photo reference of a minimal pinto with only two white legs, so I know it's possible. Here's the other side:

And here are a couple more commissions in different stages of prep:

I also bought a bottle of Lascaux White Acrylics:

I think this is the stuff that I had heard Jaime Baker recommend. I have to say: I love it! It's very opaque and covers in just a few layers. So convenient! It brushes out beautifully and has a matte finish. I'm using it on the base layers of Hazel before I lay in a more "natural" white, not one so blindingly bright as this.

I also got a box of Super Sculpey to play around with. I haven't used it before, but I like the feel of it. I'm going to use it just for fun and to practice manes/tails. 

Medallion Surgery

I measured some more, and I'm pretty sure that I had the eye too low, so I'm moving it. I also believe the eye is slightly large for the head. The cheek will need to come down, too. The ear was slightly big, also.

Medallion Screw Up

Here's another photo of that medallion I've been working on for ages. I had a terrible time getting the mane and forelock to look okay, and then with a bunch of other minor adjustments, I've concluded that I ruined it. I hadn't measured anything in a while, and now the cheek has blown up to giant proportions, the bridge of the nose is too big, and the neck is too thick (I think). It's supposed to be a Percheron or draft cross, but right now I think it looks like a pony. *Sigh* Back to the (sculpting) board...

Percheron Medallion

Here are a few pictures of a Percheron medallion that I've been working on. Sorry for that blurry one in the middle! I have been told that it looks more Warmblood-y than Percheron, which is okay for me, too. I would love to hear what you think about it, good or bad. I haven't started on the mane and forelock yet, obviously, and haven't decided what to do with the background, either. If you feel the need to post anonymously, please feel free. I do moderate my posts, but I will definitely read everything that is sent to me and give it consideration, whether I post the comment or not.
