Orange you glad

I always get so nervous when I'm pastelling a model. They go through so many phases of ugly before they look even semi decent. And even then, they still look pretty fugly until you finish. I started pastelling one of the working girls from a few days ago not really thinking on what my end color was going to be and without a ref. Real smart. Those first few layers I know are going to look washed out, so it doesn't bother me.


More layers and we get kind of streaky, also mostly normal.


Then you get some colors that makes your eyes burn.  (and don't you love my weird fish that's been making a cameo?)


And eventually end up with an orange pony! Ahh!


Lol. Well after some more layers, she's not as obnoxiously orange but still off.


I have to say that I love how I'm this far into putting color on her and still haven't decided what I want to do with her. With that color I'm thinking it's gonna have to be chestnut though. Maybe she'll be my paint horse. Let's hope I look up a pattern for that part at least.

Note to self.  Must invest in a proper photo booth...

Still Working...

Working Equitation that is! Haha. I've had this set for a little while already, but my computer, internet and camera decided that they would not work together. Bleh. But they finally cooperated so here are some photos! This set was made by Vicky Norris to fit my Alvaro resin. The detail is fantastic on it and it looks awesome on him! :D











Now I've just got to get Alvaro painted. I'm thinking this color but that could always change before I finish prepping and start painting him.

What I wish I was doing!  Lol.  But I did get a couple of little ladies who are working quite nicely.  Sarah Rose Working Girls to be exact!  When I found out the edition was closing, I just had to get my hands on a few.  (Bad Heather, bad.)  I can not believe how much detail is packed into such a tiny piece!  And the color possibilities are endless. 





I've got two general colors planned so far, an Appaloosa and a Paint horse. Not sure what to do exactly with them but I'm liking the possibilities. Now what to do for the last one.... Hmmm...

Oh, and you may notice that one of the ladies got a new hair do.  : )  She's going to be my appy.  Still needs a bit of refinement in the mane and tail, but overall I'm quite pleased.  She's looks so 'cowy' now. 




I do plan on offering all three of them for sale once painted.
