Hi everyone,

Well admittidly I haven't been around on here for a long time and having seen the "member drive" email I got from the admins I remembered about my subscription here! So I figured I would share with you what I do as part of "Dream Merchant Designs" - part of it is photomanipulation, but the other side is Artwork, including customising model horses (Breyer, Peter Stone and Artist Resin models).

I'll try and explain it simply.

For starters is a Traditional (1:9 scale) Breyer "Bouncer" model, who used to look like this: http://www.themodeltradingpost.com/images/707.jpg

And was repainted into a gorgeous Cremello color:

Next was a Breyer "Smarty Jones" model that I was comissioned to paint into a Blue Roan - he started off life as this: http://www.healthstones.com/farm_lif...onal_horse.jpg

And then was repainted into this:

He even has small metal-like shoes glued onto his hooves!

Next was a Breyer "Nokota" model that started off life as this guy: http://www.goldenoakstables.com/miva...1279Nokoda.jpg

And then was repainted into a Cremello Splash Sabino critter, mixed even with dirty, muddy socks (because he is a mustang Nokota breed representation):

Next was just a customisation (where you change the position of the model) - he used to be this guy: http://www.igallopon.com/Images/Andalusian-toy.jpg

And was transformed into this gorgeous position:

He was sold as is, unpainted and sent to the buyer's favourite artist to be turned into a dappled grey I do believe.

And since I'm only allowed to post 4 images per post - I will continue!!!
