Neat, kind of like fraternal twins!

[Paul P.]

Hi all

Bruce and Bill cheers guys

Just a few more up date pics, with the horse i painted the base coat of white and then added the shading, and then did the brown blotches on top, i realise it means shading the same area twice where the blotches are but then i get a nice neat edge to the two colours



So this is the left side of the face just about complete





The right side of the neck base coated and then the first shading done





And the blotches added and then the first shading on them



And max asking to be taken out for a walk

Paul

[deafpanzer]

BEAUTIFUL! I Horse is looking good already! Looks like Max is either jealous or upset that you have been spending too much time with the horse... LOL

[Deleted]

Lookin great and nice job on painting the Labrador:)

[AndyArgent.]

[Paul P.]

cheers Andy, he gets so impatient if I don't take him out

Bruce Max is a Rotty x Spaniel, he hates Labradors. but hes a softy really

I just meant that we'd need one of them funky lenses to fit us both in...so we'd BOTH be outta focus...no bad thing methinks!

Fisheye,or Panoramic??

Deano

Nothing to see here...move along please....nothing to see here.....not unless yer wanna see a fantastically painted horse that looks like a real one but smaller and with a grey bottom...move along please!

I've seen a couple of 'Cut n' Shuts' in my time,but NEVER on a ferkin horse!!!!!

[Paul P.]

Cee Bee at least the vin numbers will be the same

Usually it's the WELL DODGY stitching,underneath the girth,is the dead giveaway!!!!

[Paul P.]

I don't think the weld marks over the saddle help either

Paul

[Paul P.]

I really don't think that you should have mentioned your undergirth stitching, just conjures up a nightmarish image

Love the pony Paul, great colors and shading, awesome. The carrieage and figure look great too. Good thing ya got Max out, he looks like he needed a break, lol.

Cheers, Ski.

[wbill76]

Nice progress Paul! As for under-girths and stitching, the less said the better in that department, especially since it would involve an ensuing discussion around straps and buckles and NO ONE wants to go there I'm sure.

[Paul P.]

Cheers Ski, yep he bugs the crap out of me till I take him out


Thanks Bill, we wont mention any more under girths and straps and things


Sorry to bore you guys, more pics of dobbin, I pushed the shading a bit more and added a few more little blobs







also started the blobs on the other side





all for now

Paul

[Paul P.]

Ferkin blobs is the right words, im having to be careful that i dont paint countries when i do the blobs, must be some kind of sub concious thing, ive already had to paint out Italy and South America

Anyway carried on with the left side and just about all of the shading is done for the front half now









The bridle is also complete, burnt umber base coat and highlighted with various shades of orange, just the metal work to add
