Yay I've finally CMed a little horsey! Well that I think turned out ok anyway. Here's what it looks like. I just need help with selecting a breed. I was thinking TWH or Saddlebred but I'm not sure if they can have blue eyes... What do you think? (hint you don't have to say it looks great) Also it doesn't have a brand. It was some cheapy plastic thing my grandmother bought for me and I thought was the greatest. Far Side Near Side

hat looks really good. if you cant think of a breed, just call it a brumby, coz they can be practically anything!

But brumby's don't do the leg thing.... and I'd prefer a pure bred if possible.

Wow that's great for a first CM! How drastically was the CM? If you have any 'before' photos I'd love to see them Yes I think he would be a Saddlebred. I'm not too sure about the blue eyes though, you'd have to look that up. Great effort!

Thanks actually he's a third. The first two were just tests on really bad looking models. Like demon horses. Actually sadly there are no before photos I had thought about it but forgot. I'm actually going to go over it again and just touch it up and follow a picture of a real horse and then I'll try the other.

Your mapping is great. It is very even though - most of the time, paint markings aren't that correct. I know when I was younger I called paint horses splash horses, because the colour often looks like it is splashed onto the white (or vice versa). Don't be afraid to add a bit of action in! ;D The leg markings are all a little 'flat' across the top, where they meet the colour. Next time try adding some variety , as most socks and stockings sit quite unevenly. Also - light-coloured legs equal light-coloured hooves. See Rocky Road in Misty's signiature - see how his hooves are a light shell colour? There is no pigment (colour) in the lower part of his leg, hence why his hooves are that pale pink colour. He also has a pink nose. His coat is really thin on his nose, and the pink is his skin. Therefore, your blaze should extend between the nostrils just a little bit, and be blending into those pink tones., because the coat is thinner. This is a very basic guide. www.semperfas.com/howto/repaint.htm

Thanks, actually Danni had said a lot of that on ABMHA. I was gonna say his hooves had that black hoof shine stuff. BUt like I said I'm gonna go over him again. It's funny though the pattern was a mistake. I was just paint and it looked nothing like what you see but when I went to cover up mistakes after dropping him in a big glop of paint by accident that's how he turned out.
