I just finished this little fellow.The horse part is a breyer stable mate with major resculpting of the face, new mane,forelock and eye,the tail was hand done and it was a see if I could do it on that small a scale. He’s got a lot of depth to his color I kept laying translucent color over color. I like him he’s got some spunk.
I like him, too! He looks like one of the brightly colored fish that might swim around a coral reef 🙂
What happens after they are done ??
I pray that they sell 🙂 I depend on my art work to stay unemployed. My husband and I came to the agreement that I could stay home and work on my art and as long as I made enough to feed the 7 dogs and the 2 horses as well as thier medical needs then I can stay unemployed 🙂
I chose his color from some very interesting very brightly colored seahorses.
That chunk he’s sitting on is fake coral and I bought it a walmart just for him to sit on. Sometimes the little sculptures/remodels sell for more then big guys.
I sold a bat winged draft in copper and black for 75.00 a few months back! I am not going to complain. Sometimes a piece is sought after and I get bidding wars on them.
truthfully I just love doing them, big small, doesn’t matter I spend hours and hours working on them. I have three on my paint table waiting for color. I just started one that’s a lime green with gold undertones and she’s getting tribal spirals in black gold painted on her.This one was done three years ago. He’s had some work done on him about 6 months ago when I learned how to do flexable fins. I love him. for some reason he never sold.
This isn’t the best picture but I’ll try and snap a few more. He’s really dusty right now and living on the top shelf oft he book shelfs.I would have bought him, he’s lovely.
I like the red one too, but I’d like to see his eye.
Also, why did you resculpt the head, what’s wrong with the original one?

the little red guy I wanted him to look like a seahorse, those tiny little mouths. This particular one had his head smushed and in the process of trying to fix it I squished the eyes so I made a new one and covered the other one with a forelock. I’m not very good at sculpting from the raw, I do better when I have something to start with which is why I use the toy horses. So makeing a new eye was a challenge actually. I used a bead and covered it with epoxy.
I like “Rags” it has these dots of glass paint on his tail and body that look like gems. People asked me where I got such small gems 🙂These are lovely, particularly the second one (I really like the sculpt of the first one too, I’m just not as fond of bright colors). Great stuff!
