Two equine WIPs.

EDIT: WIPs both look really pixelated, they aren't like that normally. Odd.

Two things I've been trying to work on. One is a painting from a screenshot of A Knight's Tale (I love that movie) and I started it a month or so ago, and the other is my attempt at painting a horse sim of mine from The Sims 3.




There's still a lot of work to do on the face, armour and bridle ... plus I need to quickly throw a background together. Most of the work I've done is on the eye and I don't think that's finished either. Painting a close-up image when I have a broken tablet was a horrible idea.



This is Sandy the simhorse. He's a Welsh Cob stallion with very weird colouring - I have no idea what to call his colour. Been a while since I bothered studying horses properly. It's pretty either way, and dappled (which I probably won't even try). Here's a screencap of him stuffing his face. It's dusk here but you can kinda see his colouring.



The painting is from a screencap as well. It's a really cute one of my simcat staring up at him. I'm not sure if I'll paint just Sandy or the cat as well because it's kinda tiny as it is. I'm making the image larger as I go so the end result will be decently sized, but while I'm working on basics it's not a giant image to work on. I prefer getting basics down on a smaller canvas so I can just sketch and scribble. At the moment it's been doubled in size once already and the WIP here is the current size.

Plenty more WIPs to come, nothing finished I'm afraid. Current work in progress is another painting for my mom and my blog isn't allowed pictures of that because she checks it. I'll try to get some more things up soon.
