Thinking in color

Terrang is still in progress, he's at a hard to photograph (cough*ugly*cough) stage so I'm going to wait to update on him for a few more days. 

Instead I'm going to photospam you guys with pretty ponies.  I've been tossing around a bunch of colors for various resins and I think I've finally decided on something for everyone.  First up is Ahzam.  He is so purdy.

Well he finally spoke up and told me what color he wants to be.  A bloody shoulder grey with some dapples and fleabites.  I think I'm going to aim a little more towards Showkayce than the guy pictured below. I'm already anticipating him talking a while to finish.  Lol.Photobucket

This is a guy I've had sitting around for a few months and me hee-ing and haw-ing about color.  He's big, he's bad, and he bit me when I pulled him out of the box.

Look at those teeth, Debbi really outdid herself on this guy.  As for color, I finally settled on a silver bay roan with minimal white.  Now I just need to find the genetics to go with it.

Next is Sarah Rose's incredible Reiner.

This guy has had a color chosen for him the minute I saw the clay sculpture on Sarah's website.  He is going to be a protrait of a horse that I have in training.  Chief is the cutie on the right.  The photobombing mare on the left is mine of course.

Last up for today is a model that just came in the mail this morning and I am thrilled with her.  This is another gorgeous model by Debbi Lermond, her new mare Sheba's Jewel.  Lordy is she pretty, I need some tack to go with her for sure.

Color wise I want her to be a luscious chocolate flaxen liver chestnut.  I just can't decide if I'm going to paint her myself or send her out.  Wouldn't Mindy Berg just do an awesome job on her?  *wink*

And now I have to go work on Terrang.  I'm determined to have him painted and up for sale before the end of March!

You've got some lovely things in your studio, but I'm most partial to that Ahzam. He'll look great in the color you've picked!

Chief is adorable! I'd love to see more pictures. Nice color choices on the new resins. That link to Showkayce got me totally lost on the farm website...

Oh Cheify Cheif. He really is way too cute. ^_^

As am I Braymere! I just hope that I can do the color justice. Time to call deep upon my BFA and hope it was worth it. LOL.

Shoestringstable - I will definately have more photos of Cheif in an upcoming post. He is a dog in horse clothing I swear. :) And I hope the time lost at Day Dream Arabs was worth it. *wink*

lol, I'm in love with your photobombing mare! And it's not even funny how much I love your customized horses. I'm still salty that I missed out on that Cigar you CM'd as Rachel Alexandra! If any horse had ever been done for her by Breyer, they would've been really smart to have contacted you!! The one you did was faaaar better than what they "officially" released.
