oooo mule?

cant wait too see. ive been peeking through your stuff, very nice works

Regular horse. I prefer larger vs smaller ears but they can be trimmed down if they end up too large once it's furred ^^

this looks amazing so far, definitely not a dog ;)

Indeed! Though I fear for the person who can make a horse and a dog look at all alike XD *imagines a horse with a dog nose* ... brrrr

well i did that only it was actually a hybrid it was ment to be a kirin and ended up as a cross a dragon dog unicorn the face looked more like a dog.

o very nice, would possibly like to get a slot next time you have an opening, even if its for a while to come.

*whinny*

Forgive me for being dense but what material is that on the snout and around the eyes with the red marker on it? It's not foam is it?

No it's resin

Thank you! :)

wooow! amazing! =D beetlecat is amazing!

:D :D

wowwwww I really love the shape of this.... I think it's going to be fantastic when it's done. Excellent work!

Seriously, nobody does horses like you do..
If I had the money, I'd INSTANTLY get my horse char done by you!

hee. High praise considering half the time I don't know what I'm doing with horses lol. I'm not as familiar with them as I am with other hoofers XD

are you using a special type of resin? seems like it would be rather heavy. looks amazing though!

It's not that thick. And the resin is intended for these sorts of things and doesn't weigh very much. Though it's certainly heavier than pure foam :p

ok, just wonderin. i work with resin sometimes at work and wasn't sure if there was some new product out on the market.

Resin is a *huge* range of products. There's something for every application

Wow I really like this... Is the resin cast attached to a balaclava??

yes

nice :) I'm always wanted to try using cast resin but lack the knowhow to do it haha any good advice or tutorials??

Not really. We all figure it out ourselves. Qarrezel has some good tutorials however.

wow a horse! :D
looking good

you do such lovely horses!

Oooh, I'm excited!

Awesome! Haven't seen such a good horsehead (even if it's WIP) in a long time! Looking foreward to see it finished!

I has a question!

I'm also making a horse but I was worried about the jaw. I want it to be a moving jaw, but I was wondering about how that might turn out since horses have such long faces but such "small" mouths. Is there anything I should know?

I'm not overly familiar with moving jaws, but I think I have to fur (Mendels super seal) the head with the jaw propped open in order to make the fur loose enough, but I'm concerned this might make everything wrinkled when the jaw is closed. I've seen a lot of horse masks where they have these insane Glasgow smiles and I want to avoid that too :3

Lots of possibilities! You could go with the wrinkled look but just arrange the fur so that it folds up neatly in the crack of the jaw. Or add padding inside the cheek so that it will open but stay puffed out and full looking when closed. You don't need to have a huge smile to make the moving jaw work so you could just cut up a bit further than is normal in a horse. Or go with some stretch fur in that area if you can make it match

I think your pad-the-cheeks suggestions will fit best for what I'm doing. Thank you!

those ears are AWESOME

Thanks! I didn't have any patterns around so I had to make them up on the fly ^^

I'm really excited to see this done! There are very few horse faces I've liked in suits, and this one looks really good! :o

There's still time for me to screw it up.. but hopefully I can restrain myself! rofl

pshshshshhs you are seriously one of the top 3 suitmakers I can think of, I don't see it happening XD

Amazing! :) it's looking so good. That shaping is perfect!

Just...wow, Very excited!

Coming along brilliantly, I am sure it will turn out brilliantly based on image here.

There is something beautiful about watching artisans create and watching something great being formed.

What is the majority of the face made out of?

Ack never mind its resin^^O

Nice! It looks fantastic so far! :D
Very horsey indeed!

Now I want to see you make a poodle suit!

HOLY EXCLAMATION POINT BAT MAN!

Horse is looking good!!! :D

Did you sculpt the horse head base? or buy one?

I made it

:o I dont supose you would ever sell the blanks would you?

Not at this time no. If that changes in the future I'll make a journal with the info.

Alright thanks :)

Not sure how I missed this before. Beautiful work!
