So I closed my books.
Now that I've moved, settled in (mostly) to a new country, I put the feelers out for a trade deal to get some of Sarah Mink's LOVELY Connemara models which she sculpted for Breyer in my hot little hands.
I now have my first commission in over 8 years making his way across that there pond over yonder, and heading his way down south to the land of the hobbits. And I will say, I am super excited about this little guy. He's a Brabant resin, stablemate scale, and when his owner said they wanted a roan done on him? Well, it was a deal.
The resin? "Cumulonimbus", sculpted by Anna Dobrowolska-Oczko - and the guy on the right is my inspiration for the coloration. I love my bay roans, they are a weakness. And I love the way this guy has roaning down the front of his face!
The Brabant, such a gorgeous breed:
Really do love these big draft breeds. I could drool over their pictures all day.
I will be posting pictures as I go on this boy, and of course, on the Rajah resin as well - I will no doubt be doing the same base coat on both these beauties, and then doing the roaning on the commission first.
I am also setting up my stream to be able to stream the painting of these resins as well - so if you haven't already, check out my stream at: http://www.twitch.tv/sophistique02 and look out for when I do a "Creative" stream. I currently stream gaming on there, but I will be doing some creative/art stuff as well in the very near future.
If you want to know when I go live, and what I'll be streaming - then follow me on twitter: http://www.twitter.com/sophistique02
On a side note: Want to know how excited I am about this guy? I've already done a reference card for his new owner if they so choose to use it for showing:
Even nicely laminated as well :) Just part of the new service I will offer (along with an artist CoA for the paint work) for my work!
Until next time - have fun painting and customizing!
