Oh boy have you got your work cut out for you! I know how hard that is to do. The toughest part is keeping the hair in scale and watching the hair growth patterns. Great job so far!

Thank you very much, Mike! I'm glad you like her.

Interesting. Derivative works is a quagmire when it comes to legal copyright. As a published author, I know how I would feel if someone plagiarized my book. But I must admit surprise at the reaction. Of course, running to court right out of the blocks is in bad form but perfectly within the...

Hello Michael and welcome - this is the place and the folks here are wonderful. Hope you have a great time. (BTW - love the avatar. lol!)

You guys get to have all the fun. I need to come visit the UK one of these days. Looks like it was quite an event.

lol! Rick, I hear ya. I've encountered plenty of deadlines in my writing career so I understand completely. They are never fun and when you get everything done and think you can take a breath, here comes another one and it starts all over again. But when I get in the zone when painting - you...

Re: Carrots in bunches? A new kind of Orange Bowl. . . Howdy Miami Jayhawk!!! As in Rick. lol! Thank you so much for your post. hehe! Well, Carrot Top, since he started hanging around with Joe Piscopo, just sort of fits. I mean, I like muscles just as much as the next gal - but on Carrot...

I hope I'm not breaking any rules about how many WIP threads a person can have going at the same time. :) But I thought this guy deserved his own thread, plus I was hoping some folks might offer their thoughts on a predicament in which I find myself. (I will work on my Marwari this weekend...

Very nice! It looks like a portrait.

The photos look so much better Mike! Thank you for fixing them. Now I can really see details and color. I really like the realism!

That's fantastic Mike! Great work!

I love the pants! How in the world did you manage? Were they as insane to paint as I'm imagining? Absolutely love the leather, especially the spurs and straps with the dirt on the boots. Fantastic!

I've got some updating to do, so bear with me. I've been experimenting again and came up with a technique for shading and highlighting with metallic pigments. It might look a little gritty here but it's not sealed yet in these pics. My mom gifted some more of Pearl Ex...

I second Aves Apoxie. While I haven't used Magic Sculpt many of my friends in the model horse hobby find them comparable. But I recommend getting the smallest sizes of Apoxie Sculpt, Apoxie Clay and Fix It to try first. They have a Power Pack where you can get all of them. That way you can try...

And from another fellow Texan. Glad to have you here!

Glad you guys like it. Some of these are definitely going on the Christmas list. :D

John, you have a great attitude! So, while I'm right with you on the historical end of the Indians, I'd have to do a lot of research before getting that right, I can talk to you about horses! lol! Your bay horse is gorgeous and you really did a fine job on him. I love his eyes and how in the...

Okay - more work done. This time I added a touch of red tone to him. This is just a 2-1 mix of Burnt Sienna and Raw Sienna. First off, he's going orange, and since he was a bit yellow, it's to be expected. Second, I have some grain issues popping up. Grain is caused by several different...

Wow, I thought the great coat was real for a second. Great job!

Hi Einion, yup, I do wear a dust mask. This stuff isn't toxic like some of the oil paint pigments but I do wear one. As to the airbrush, I really want to at least try one. But the speed in which I can apply these pigments is really fast as well. Seriously, the layer I did last night was...
