Weekly Round-up

Two favorites this week! Both of them are "unique" colors that don't get represented a lot.

First up, cremello boy Larimer. So shiny and pink... usually when I start the pink ones they look like the Easter bunny at first.

The other one is another dude horse named Valpolicella. I have no idea what that means, but he's just a plain roan. So I did a blue-ish body with a red-ish head. I love how he turned out. So handsome!

Weekly Round-up

Two favorites this week!

First up, Boomin Knight, black colt. Eiii, I love his nifty lookin' stripe. I made that up, guys! Plus his mohawk-like hair was pretty fun and new too. So many black horses this week. O.O It was kinda intense.

Next up is Dreams of Cash, bay standardbred. I keep getting these guys and while they are covered in tack, for some reason I'm starting to really like them. This guy was my absolute best for the week in my opinion.

Check out my website to see all the others!

Weekly Round-up

Well, here's something new, I'm updating more than once a week and with ponies! Sorta. Starting this week I'm just going to update my favorites and then direct you to my website to see the rest.

So for this week: Euclase, gray filly. I chose her because she is so drastically different from the normal headshot. A frontal view is hard to pull off (and I cursed over this one quite a lot too), but it does showcase facial markings really well. The chain over the nose was a challenge as well. I think this is my first chain (I know I've done a covered chain before...). Grays are especially fun for me though. Not only are they my favorite coat color in the real world, but to get the speckled gray look I get to go crazy with some textured brushes and filters.

The rest are on my site HERE and it's worth the trip over. It was a tough choice to only pick one. ^.^

Book List! Yay!

Soooo I haven't updated this in a while. This should be FUN!

Weekly Round-up: 14 total

Well, the breaks keep getting longer in between updates... maybe I should only do a select few and direct the rest towards my website? Hmm... it's worth a thought. It would cut down on the double updates.

Anyways, on to ponies! Not in chronological order.

This is Black Hawk, black colt, obviously. Sigh, I only got a couple of fillies/mares this week.

Buckeye, buckskin paint colt. Love this reference for the eye and the name reference and just the pose.

Gin on the Rocks is a black standardbred colt. I swear this breed is just weird lookin'.

Hinzi is a red-dun leopard appaloosa colt. Sooo many spots. Still unsure about how to represent red-dun in just a headshot.

Midnihte Special, black stallion. <3 his snip and his adorable-ness.

Moral Paradox, black Arabian filly I believe. I think those are eyelashes. ^.^

Neverinthemiddle, buckskin Paint filly. Went a little crazy on the girliness, because there were so few these past weeks.

Northern Hero, bay colt with the most adorable snip EVER. <3

Ogunquit, dark bay colt. I love his name.

 Simulacro, chestnut arabian colt. Their foreheads look so dishy now.

 Snowdancer, chestnut colt with the epic blaze.

Thundering, bay colt. I'm really proud of that mouth. ^.^

Winter Olympics, gray colt done for a guy who's daughters are going to train for the Olympic team in Australia!

Yes, dark bay colt with a cute blaze and conveniently the most current horse to date!

So I probably will have a new way of updating next time around. Until then!

Two Week Round-up: 10 horses

What can I say... I can't update things in a regular fashion. I'm surprised I'm keeping this up. ^.^

Okay, ten horses. Here we go! Not in order but at least I can talk about them.

First up is Cash Money Honey, a black Standardbred. The tack still kills me, but I'm getting the hang of it. I loooove her mouth. Lookit those teeth!

Next is Consolation Prize, dark bay with and awesome blaze.

 Next is a gray stud Dreams in Flames. He's the most resent of the horses and I had a super fun time doing his blaze. ^.^

 Fireman is a blood bay colt. I loooove his coat color. He's just too cute.

Next is Look Beautiful, a pretty light chestnut filly. Her reference had a lovely interesting blaze/almost bald face marking, but alas I could only do a stripe. Still pretty cool though.

 Parades is a GORGEOUS grulla/o? filly with a bald face. Seriously fun. ^.^

Stars of Tomorrow is a black colt with a star. The name makes me think of LBP2... <3

 Storm of Applause is a dark bay (stud, I think) with a snip and a figure-8 nose band. Gah, the tack busted my butt, so I limited the mane to a braid.

 Tuner. Oh Tuner. See, his nose was really off in the reference... so I had to improvise just a bit. Turns out his nostrils were all wonky and I didn't catch it. This is the revised one. ^.^ LOVE his stripe/star thing.

 Last, but not least, Zimm's Free Beer, an Appy stud. The color is supposed to be "sorrel" turns out no one really knows the difference between sorrel and chestnut. My boss wanted it to be a "copper red" chestnut color with the mane a similar color to the coat. (Me, I see sorrel as sorta brown... ish... ) It's an East/West coast difference. ~.^

Two Week Round-up: 15 horses!

Way, way overdue. Whoops! Had a great week off, went to Heroes Con! with my old college roomie and spent some quality time with L. My puppy has not forgiven me for leaving her with L for THREE whole days! I'm a horrible person. Now she's not letting me out of her sight. I love my Ginger-pup. ^.^

In other news, the Scotsgrove website has new photos in the gallery and I'm working on updating it to include Horse Profile pages, rather than one long list. It's going to rock.

Okay, on to horses! Sorry, they are in alphabetical order, rather than the order completed, because Lord, fifteen horses is a lot. O.O
