Description I'm standing across from you
And dreaming of the things I do,
I don't speak- you don't know me at all
For fear of what you might do,
I say nothing but stare at you.
And I'm dreaming, I'm trippin over you
Truth be told, my problems solved
You mean the world to me...

She's so lovely and full of spunk! This little filly is a handful for Adamine, who tries to graze nearby as Blue skitters through the snow and trees, adventurous and curious about the big, wide world around her!

I'm sure you'll have fun with her *Kiraiko44 !!
(name can be changed, just what I called her while working on her)

Awwww!!! I'd go for it, but Seraphina isn't mine anymore.
She belongs to ~Kiraiko44 and she looks like this: [link]
I guess you'd have to ask her permission for something like that? idk

Awesome job!

Definitely! I have one more foal on the way (this filly's sister), and then another breeding. We can start ours then! Doesn't matter which mare as long as she can carry the foal

Meersau In reply to NoodleMutt [2009-10-01 15:48:12 +0000 UTC]

Aww, you've made my day!
I have a very special mare and she means so much for me
Her name is Seraphina [link]

Awww!! Seems like we have all the best name ideas. hahaha
Seraphina is so gorgeous! She and Blackberry will make a gorgeous couple
I love that she's a bicorn too. Maybe that will figure in to the foal's design!

aww, sounds very cool!
I will start the breed pic soon! A Question btw: How do you made the dapples?

NoodleMutt In reply to Meersau [2009-10-02 03:13:31 +0000 UTC]

I use Photoshop CS3, so I'm not sure how to do roaning in other programs.
This is how I do it!-
I put down a single base color all over the horse (light gray for blue roan, cream/peach for red roan & light brown for bay roan).
I then take the speckle brush (size 24 or 27) and make it about 50px so that the brush kind of comes out blurry. Opacity is set to about 20, so nothing stands out too much.
Then I take a darker color first and speckle the legs, topline, underbelly, chest and by the head. After that, I take a medium tone and speckle the sides, flanks and shoulders. I then take a lighter color, set it to 30 opacity and create the highlights on the sides, rump, shoulder and neck.
When you're satisfied with that, take your dark base color (black, dark brown or chestnut) and color the head & lower legs. From there, you can add markings, highlights and shadows, etc all over the horse!
I hope that was clear enough! Alot of people have asked me, so I think I'll make a tutorial eventually.

NoodleMutt In reply to Atroxa [2009-09-28 00:34:42 +0000 UTC]

I'm so glad you like her!
Yeah, you can change the name if you like. I just called her Blue while I was working on her.
Do you want to design my bay roan, or should I design her? It's up to you!

Aww, what a cute foal! I love the composition of this picture. They way you have the foal in the middle of the picture, with the mother grazing off to the side in the distance, looks really good.
Your foal anatomy is really spot on!

Lovely picture, it's an instant favorite!

NoodleMutt In reply to Wrennars [2009-09-27 00:21:37 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! Foals are ungodly hard to proportion. Like if you notice, I have done very few foals that are just a day or couple days old.... it's because I always start out trying to get them that way, but end up making them look older! lol I like muscling and shading, which tend to show up more on older foals ^_^

Wrennars In reply to NoodleMutt [2009-09-27 00:31:03 +0000 UTC]

You're very welcome!
Seriously, my foals always fail. It's so weird that older horses are easier to draw.
But muscling and shading is so so so much fun, and with drawing a new foal they're rather restricted in that sense.

NoodleMutt In reply to Wrennars [2009-09-27 01:57:56 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has that issue All your art is amazing though!!
I guess with more practice, anything is possible! I also find adult draft horses easier to draw than their foals, but light breed foals easier than adults. I'm weird I guess. haha

Wrennars In reply to NoodleMutt [2009-09-27 02:28:16 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I actually only have one foal picture in my gallery. I need to draw more of them. Aww, thank you!
True! I can do their heads and legs alright, but their bodies always give me trouble.

NoodleMutt In reply to Wrennars [2009-09-27 03:08:45 +0000 UTC]

I'm alright with body proportion and all that, but I can't do facial expressions or angled poses to save my life. hahaha!
