Satan

Satan. Nope nothing to do with the fallen angel, but instead Satan, The Black Stallion’s colt. Whenever I remake a model, I have a habit of trying to make it performance friendly. Well I’m doing a fun model. I bought a foal at a flea market (love love flea markets) and wasn’t sure what to do with him. Then I came across my copy of Son of The Black Stallion and it clicked. In the book, Satan, Black’s son, is described as being mean and built thick. The foal was the perfect prospect.

I decided to have his mouth open.

Teeth and tongue was added plus the gaping hole was closed.

Lastly, ears and a forelock were added. I really really like his expression so far.

Studio Update

Well since the last time I posted, the thing call school started. *plays sad mournful music* Seeing that school is in full swing, model horsing has been put on the back burner. But since I completely changed around my inside art table today, I decided to let myself do some model horse stuff.

First I laminated all of my Certificates of Authenticity. 
Next came hacking up one of my classic models even though I do have plenty of in progress models. It’s a very bad habit. 
He’s going to be a proud mustang stallion. He still needs his feathers sculpted, but I like him!
Well that’s all for now!

RIP Black–But Welcome New!

Do you remember this guy? Well he is no more. My kittens decided to push him off my shelf, causing his paint job to be ruined. His scratches cut pretty deep! You could see some of his original finish color!
Well, the horse no longer Black, is now a blue roan paint.
 I’ve never done the hair by hair detailing before, but it was alot of fun. It took forever but worked out. One of the few model horse customizing jobs I could do sitting in front of the TV without making a mess.
The ingredients I used were:
white charcoal pencil
white prismacolor pencil
gray pastel
matte finish spray
I used this picture alot to know how a horse’s hair flows. After each layer I would spray the matte finish and tone down the white hair marks with gray pastels.

Here he is at the moment. His white markings are being blocked in, and his hooves and eyes need done, but I really like him! Once all of that’s done, he will be haired.
