      This is a portrait commision of a pretty little pony called Frodo for Phoenix. He has the most startling blue eyes! And such a sweet little face! I hope I did him some justice.

      I took a long time on the scales with this one, because my others have looked streaky and blah and didn’t antique well…but this one has about 15 layers of diluted paint on the scales, so they are rich and smooth. And I actually managed to antique it evenly! Yay me!! XD He has a little star on his chest, which was hard to do, and a blend of black and white hairs in his tail, which was also hard to do – and I’m not supremely happy with the way either turned out. But I’m proud of the rest!

                  He is very pretty. I love where the white and brown meet on his face and front legs.

                    I love the richness of the browns and the way they blend into the black of the mane. I also love the soft black spots on the white stockings. *G*

                      Okay, I have to finally ask at risk of letting everyone know how slow I am…

                      What the heck is XD, and OOAK? 😳

                      XD is a sideways smiley showing eyes squinted and a big grin/laughing… usually means hilarity or excitement

                      OOAK is “one of a kind”

                        Okay, I don’t feel so bad now. I never would have figured out the XD. XD

                        Did you dilute with water? Because I’ve had no sucess with that at all and is seems to muck up the scales. You did a truly amazing job on this and the sheen is perfection. They are buggers to antiwue but you did awesome!
