Custom Diaries: Current Victims

 Hey again! Today I wanted to make a quick post about my current customizing "victims". These are by far not all of them but they're the main ones I have ideas for right now.

Here's a G1 SM Native Dancer, all primed and naked. My vision for him is very clear and also part of a personal project: to have every model version of Man O' War and War Admiral! At the moment I have both of the Classic MOW models, and also the Traditional MOW, but I'm missing the Trad War Admiral on the MOW mold and also the new Native Dancer MOW from the Vintage club, which is also what inspired this project. This Native Dancer will become Man O' War to go with War Admiral, also on Native Dancer, which I have already completed.

Now that I've gotten over my aversion to pastels (its a long story, and the main character is Alabama humidity), I should really get started on Man O' War...

For this G1 Arabian Stallion, he will be a flaxen chestnut sabino/tobiano Part Arabian named En Vogue, and I already have him pedigreed. I do believe his 'sabino' will actually be one of the W patterns carried by Arabians, and of course the tobiano can come from a myriad of other breeds (I need to check his pedigree again...and get a link to my PA site on this blog!).

I'm pretty sure this G1 Seabiscuit will become a stock breed of some kind, but I'm torn on Paint or QH. I participated in the IPABRA ID auction, and I was really gunning for a silver grulla splash, but I ended up not winning it...I still want this guy to be silver grulla though. I wanted him to be a Paint in order to add less frame overos to my Paint breeding stock (literally all of my pedigreed Paints are frame...woops) and splash would have been cool, but I really don't wanna copy someone what is now someone else's horse, if it counts as copying. Silver grulla as a base for sure though.

(That back leg where I was holding her is still sticky from the primer that got on my glove...gonna have to troubleshoot that.)

Finally on the roster for today is this SM Indian Pony. I initially was making her a portrait of the Traditional IP Cheyenne, but I lost interest pretty quickly (and she got buried under the mounds of crap that got piled onto my desk...) and she returned to being a body. So I went looking through my painting references on Pinterest and again stumbled upon a Utah mustang who's color I've been wanting to paint for a long while. I believe his name is Clorax.

There's just something about a pinto roan mustang that gets me every time...and I LOVE the IP mold as a mustang. I actually want to make my own little customized SM mustang band, especially with the new super cheap RR on the Stablemate Semi-Rearing Mustang that just came out! I'll have this IP, another IP I customized a few years back in seal bay roan with tons of corn marks, a mini Fireheart and then the mini SRM. I think it'll be a lot of fun!

Anyways, I think that's all for now on this topic. Yesterday I actually primed 10 horses (including my new Hartland donkey & one of the Hartland nursing foals) but I'm still brainstorming on most of them.

(Yeah, I brought both nursing foals out while spraying, and then realized, wait, why did I bring both when I only want to fully repaint one?)

Oh! NaMoPaiMo registration opens in 3 days! Who's excited? Who's ready to get painting? I think I'm actually gonna re-take my registration selfie holding Huso, since I've gotten a nice haircut and am not sick as a dog like I was in the other picture (not that you could tell, but still, bleh). I'll also have a pretty interesting post coming up soon featuring my past NaMo horses, including one that has actually been repainted since then, and is now slated to be repainted a third time...he's actually featured in the above picture, IYKYK.

Anywho, see y'all in a bit, because I'm actually having a lot of fun writing for this blog and I'm not afraid to post here twice a day!
