October

Every time I begin to write a new article, I don't know how to start. Let's that that as a start.

Just 'cause I love this picture : Jet Silver Bar and Jet Silver Bar. The mini was painted by HauntedWood Corp Studio. 

Then, here is my new WIP personnal custom. It's only his first oil paint session but I already love him.

And just 'cause I love this resin : my Salome. She's currently in prepping progress but... this sculpture is so beautiful.

Summer

Okay, okay. Nothing since a long time. But it's summer and summer means hanging out with ponies and friend.
I started to ride Jet again, we're trying some new stuff. And I'm pretty busy taking em to the river, because they absolutely love it.

Me and Gullie.

Buuuut yeah. I'm customizing. Sometimes but still, I'm doing it. Here's one of my current WIPs, a Newsworthy freshly started.

And there is a halter I made a few days ago. It fits bigger horses, like Palouse.

How to not going nuts with the hair-by-hair

Hair-by-hair detailing can freak out more than one hobbyist. I was freaking out. But then I decided to paint an overo sabino. 

Anyway. You'll need a few things to paint this coat on your model horse.

First, a horse in base coat. Second, paintbrush and white paint. I use a white pastel pencil, too. And of course... REFERENCES ! Look at real horses. You want your custom to look real. I picked up two pictures on the internet to inspire me while painting.

First step : marking. Mark the base.

Then, paint it in white.

And the funnier part... hairing ! Paint slowly, take breaks, and be patient.

In one hour, I almost completed one side. Isn't it funny ? Plus, the result is great.

It's my first hair-by-hair custom, but I think it turned out quite well.

(I'm supposed to study right now but... nope eheh. Still four days and a half of school and then Model Horse, reals horses, and Concerts !)

Bunch of (very) tiny horses

I haven't posted since a few days ; first of all, I failed my exam Wednesday. I'm a bit disappointed ; I really worked on it and... I couldn't do it when I was in front of it. So of course I wasn't in a good mood.

Anyway, I made a few progress on my customs today. The stablemate is gonna be a pintaloosa bay, the Schleich will be a pinto chestnut (tobiano or overo ? dunno) and the mini whinnie is gonna be a pinto bay (tobiano I think).

By the way ; I wish the most beautiful 37th birthday to the wonderful Carlos Barât <3

Can't wait to see The Libertines again...
