Imaginary "Phoenix Ranch" / Customs by Shanti

Love the clydesdale, I have to say it again, the eyes are just amazing!

And more beauties again! I love Clydesdale too and this winter pony is so cute! Yes, their eyes are indeed very great!

Thanks again friends!!   It is really fun sharing the pictures with you!!   

Yes, the big one is still a Clydesdale and I always put a lot of efforts in painting the eyes. The eyes are so important, at least my opinion..   

More pics!

Wow! Amazing repaints again!   

That puppy is adorable!

It's always nice to see your good pictures. Thanks for showing those cuties  

The blanket on the falabella is perfect! I'm not usually a fan of haired models, but Nero looks wonderful!

Super nice customs again and I must say the model of car looks also great!

God that puppy is sooo cute!! The little collar is really well made!

And again, the falabella is super, love those little horses :3

Everything looks so nice, Shanti!
Hard to choose a single one.

Stay tuned!  

This is so exciting! I love watching WIPs. The dappling is gorgeous - may I ask what medium you used?

Thank you!   And yes, you may ask!    It's all plain acrylic paint!

That's awesome! I was lucky enough to tour the Breyer factory and offices as part of the Big Easy Bash over the weekend, and their artists showed us the dappling process with an airbrush. Yours are just as good, if not better, than the airbrush dapples!     

Wow! It look's wonderful     

He looks great! Such a brilliant paint job!  

Thank you so much friends!!   
I wish I could go to Breyer-fest or at least visiting the factory and making a tour!!  

I finished my Breyer cust today, hope you like it!

Due to the many layers of acrylic paint he has a kind of "rough coat", not this sleak appearance of a new breyer..

I love him!

I keep scrolling up and looking at your photos   

I don't mind the rough coat, it looks like hairs.

Neither do I! I think it makes it look more realistic!

Oh, he's totally an awesome model horse.. You're an Artist with a big A!

Congratulations

I think so too   Normally Breyers are smooth like eels, but I have never heard of a horse like that in real life   That is a point where Breyer is not very realistic - the no fur texture!

Great custom! I love the dapples!

Thank you so much friends!!!    And I am very happy you don't mind the "rough coat"!     And double happy you like my photographs!!
@Elros Alvar: sorry, I'm not very much in for Fantasy figurines. No unicorn, very sorry!   

Another shot of Silver Boy, I like this shot somehow..
