Thank you, Roger  I'm back also in my dust topic now  

So, Hello again all!   

There have been a warm or hot summer and now it's again time to show some horses who have been locked up in my closet way too long time
My custom horses who're gonna move abroad are also in good condition, Roger's second one need only a bit mane, Alvaro's two horses need just paint, tail added, and the other one a bit more. Slowly, super slowly but safely   And LeeAnn's secret horse need only the tail! You all can thank my drill which broke down, just great timing  But no worries
I can't reveal their unfinished horses but while the other horses are drying, I always do my own customs so here are some;

The Longneck Jack   Yes, the most poor color and the hooves need some dark color on..=.= What do you think? Only negative feedback allowed

Yeah I was lazy and the trampoline was kind to me XP
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
I'm just totally bored with him  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And here's something more. He's also gelding, but original model was the Papo white arab.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Nothing to say. Someone who really know how to paint something more interesting, I need help!  please!

That's all now! Have a great day 

I haven't anything to add or help. I like horse figures in common colors too, they're less distracting and increases the realism.
I am glad you're updating again this thread with your great pictures and wonderful customs.
About my 2nd horse, I hope you're not waiting that the mane grows naturally! Kidding, no hurries at all, you already know.

   

Great to see new horses in this thread.

I think on the black/grey one, the only paint improvement needed are the hooves. With coronets, the hooves should be pale, not dark.       I like the grey a lot, such a kind face!

     

Great work Jonas! I love the papo arabian mare..    

I can waith a some more months     THANKS!

I immediately think about miss pink muzzle when I see the Arab

Great new customs Jonas
Though I think it's not completely fair to ask for negative feedback only   but as an artist I do understand that you want to improve yourself and by messages like "Great new customs Jonas " you don't learn too much    However, encouraging posts can improve your work too, in a way But let me call it constructive criticism instead of negative feedback   

As Roger said, common colours can be nice too! Your customs are already interesting because of their pose so they don't need complicated coat patterns. But if you want to try something new you could maybe paint a sabino? Wild colour can be nice too or what about a roan (with or without hairs drawn on with a white pencil). If you want to look through some more unusual colours I can recomand you this website. It's also very interesting as it tells you how horse colours work.

As for the two custs above, I agree with LeeAnn: the front hooves should be pale (maybe striped) indeed. As for the chestnut, maybe you could add some lighter shading on it's girths and pasterns/fetlocks?    It isn't really necessary, but it could give it slightly more debt.

I hope you can use this "constructive criticism" and I'm very curious to see more of your works

They are absolutely stunning, I love them, especially the black one, if you ever want to find him a new home

As Anne-Joke said, you could try to add some shading on the fetlocks, girths, and (something I tend to do quite often) on the flank and the stifle. I tend to do shading on other parts to, like inside the ears, and on the horses chest, just a little bit to create more depth and make the horse more lifelike, but that's something personal, you don't have to do that.. If you want, I could see if I have got a picture which shows what I mean.

Here's my favorite shading reference, I think it will help you.

Obviously the coloration should not be this stark, but this is to show you how the layers of color should appear on the model.

Wow     I LOVE your customs. You are amazing at them!!!     Any way im new here..as you may or may not be able to tell. And I was just wondering how you made these. cause they are AWESOME

That was good help! I don't know why did I loaded the photos here in the first place. They were so unfinished But your help was very helpful, and there is the new Longneck Jack and his friend   Thank you, LeeAnn!

First, That was extremely helpful and kind, A-J!   
Haha, I was feeling so bad b'cos of them so maybe that was a mistake to ask that!  Yes, that's why I've said that I'd love to see more great artitst here to tell me what's wrong, how can I be better etc. I appreciate your all lovely messages and nice feedback its not about that. But awesome that I can still get some advice from an artist like you!  

Yeah.. maybe... I've noticed I'm not so good in painting horses, I like more the customizing part. In this year I really said myself-I wanna be better to paint horses- and I really want...
Oh I loved you suggestions! Thank you thank you thank you!  I really got so much energy and ideas and enthusiasm to paint those magnificent colors into model horses.. I promise that I will paint sabino and other cool coats!

And like LeeAnn's your help was very nice too! I got them right, I think. It really make them look so much better! Check the photos and tell what do you think? = )
Tahnk you for this all,  constructive criticism etc
