Introducing my repainted and custom horses. Update 15-6-2018, fjord horses number 3 and 4 :D

Very nice work!

Nice customs! I am really impressed with the translucent mane and tail of the ice horse... How is that nailpolish thing?

This ones amazing! I love him! You've improved so much since I last saw ur horses. I also fell in love with the leopard gelding. Such a realistic looking pattern and it really suits him. I need to get my hands on one of those bodies and make a custom out of him

youre so good

OMG.... Jonas! you are back !
OMG nog way i can not believe this ! I'm so happy!
Thank you for all the nice words again (everybody)

I hae finished an other horse i started this year (in februari)
I had to be my second horse after Rakker, Her name was INKA.
But i coulnd't finish it for some reason..
Then i started to try pastel afcourse like i did in Buck.
so i give it a try on the model and it came out perfect
Her she is in real life:
She was my horse for 4 years, i rode dressage competitions with her.
We where not the best team out there but we had fun day's;
riding like a cowboy with not extra straps as you can see in the picture.
But it is also the only horse a could canter without bridle and sadle when my hands lose in the wind!
After 3 years of intense riding she started she seriously started to cough. also she started becoming more cripple on het hind legs. Finally we decided to go to the vet and get her fully checked. The outcame waas more serous then we had eer touhgt; chronic bronchitis, loose bone pieces in her hind leg and ' kissing spines '. We tride every thing in our power to make her as comfortable as we could. With some medicine her crippele walk would disapear, but the coughing got worse. I disided that wit 20 years of age (being a sporthorse all her life) she could have her last years spending with us on the green fields... But her last winter was her worst ever, she just could not breath and she sufferd. That summer she felt better and we gave her her last summer full of happiness and disided, that she dind't had to go true such a winter again and we put her to sliep at the end of summer. i remember it as if it was yesterday but now it is almost 8 years ago!
'Time flies' we say in the Netherlands... But it stood still for a minute when i cantered with Inka,

And then the custom i made for her:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I tride to make a nice little braid and knots, like we jused to do before a comeptition.
The neck i tink i not that great because of the lines,
i did not make that as good as i hopes it would be but he
And her butt i trided to make bigger is also not very nice because you can see the lines to well..
But for my second pastel horse i think the color looks great and that in only 7 layers!

Let me know what you think an any comment is welkom

Have a nive day/afternoon/evening/night

Aw I almost teared up reading this She must have been very special to you. I'm happy that she's in a better place now and that you still have all the beautiful memories of her. <3 letting go can be so hard.
You captured her beauty very beautifully on the custom. I love her neck that way she looks so noble and like she knows she's pretty :,) Also one thing I thought that was cool is that you added some more bum for her xD Little details can really make a great difference. I am curious to know what kind of clay you're using Atm? Plus glad you're enjoying the pastels - they can give you so much more options when reprinting horses! Just keep up the good work! :)

And thanks so much for your lovely words! <3 :,3 I've missed you!

Yes is was a hard dissition, i helpt my family was also strong!
Thank you Jonas, its a compliment you like her
Yeah she needed a round butt she had that, so the custom needed it
I was using that clay that hard in air, so you need to ceep it a little bit weath when you work with it.
I don't know the name in englisch, its very cheap in our toy stores. only down side i break very easy.
Yes the pastels are nice its very boring layer after layer but the results are amazing

I think we al missed you ... are you going to cust some horses your self maybe again?

I love when someone decides to make tribute in miniature shape of a beloved animal friend. Inka surely looks wonderful in your custom and despite all the difficulties it is always good to read that you preserve in your memories the good time you've spent with that beautiful horse.

You're welcome!
Oh I see. Some day maybe when you feel like investing to customizing you should order some Apoxie from MPV. ; ) Its real nice to work with and holds strong!
I know I still prefer acrylics over pastels but using both together you can have some nice looking ponies as well

Aw! Well yes I am at the moment expecting bodies from ppl. And I found a box of a few more at my parents house haha. Looks like after Xmas I'll be able to really start painting again! Cant wait!
