April's Second COTM Base

I know I am working on this base right now but I think It'd be neat for the next COTM It is my 'lie down with me' base. I thought It'd be cool since nobody's ever done a horse laying down base before? Ofcause I will not be entering

Anyhow here is the base:



You may submit it to the bp and you may post it on howrse as long as you give me credit for the lineart

Hope you can have fun with this base.

Awesome Jumpinghooves...Getting started now!

YAY I wanted to do this base for Desi. I can do a version of Desi myself now as it doesn't have the great ugly watermark

My Desi

great base!! Wish I can do it, but you know...I don't have time!! After 2 weeks I have my exams..
Great technique, shiny!!!

Thanks Dodo

Oh, that's gonna look so good once you're done with it, Shiny!

Thanks!

Well here is how it's coming along

ooh i gotta start! oooooooooooh

heres my colour pallet

Aw Dang!!! Its cut off half my pallet...

omg good luck regan!! can't wait to see it!

yes good luck!

Ya!

Wow, This lying down pose is really hard!
I keep mucking up...Think I might start again...
This is what I've done so far but I don't like it.

LOL! I continued on it anyways Rofl!!! Heres the Two, the difference is one I don't have Multiply on the mane and the second time I do:

(without multipy)


(With Multiply)


Which one do you guys think looks better?

Second one

Second one

i actually like the first. i like how the mane isnt under the line art. maybe try a bit more smudging with a small brush, in motions like you would if you were brushing the mane. I love the colour too, its a really nice brown.

I agree pxehorse, first one for me.

1st one for me too, Hannie.

i haven't started, well, i have, but i hate it lol

Okay I had 2 for second and 3 for the first...Seems the first is the winner.
Thanks guys.
I'll edit the horse and show ya!

gah im actually going to start mine today. i've been putting it off lol coz i reaaaly am a bit freaked out about the fact i dont think im going to handle the pose very well. oh well, its all practice! I'll get started later this arvo and should ahve something to show yall by tonight.

Haha Ya, I'm finding the pose difficult, Good luck!

not sure if i will enter this one. dont know if im ahuge fan of it
