Money to Burn

Originally painted back in the early 2000’s this little gal has gone back under the brush to fix some rubs and bring her up to current standards! She might have been a snappy dresser before, but this time I think she’s really nailed the look…

Money started out as a basic red bay, then turned into a red buckskin with reverse dappling, and is now a much smuttier buckskin with milder dappling.

Mold: Warmblood (G2)
Color: Bay
Gallery: Bay
Medium: Acrylics, Pastels, Prismacolor Pencils
Status: Painted 200? and Home Herd

This little guy was one of my favorite customs and I regretted selling him almost as soon as I’d put him in the mail. Amazingly I stumbled across him on MH$P a few years later and was able to bring him home again! He’s now safly ensconced in the Home Herd and won’t be going anywhere (except a photo show or two).

Color: Tiger-striped Springbok-ish
Medium: Acrylics
Gallery: Unicorn
Status: Painted 200? currently part of the Home Herd

This little precurser to Muleycorn was actually my first stab at customizing the G2 Mule mold. I only ended up painting a few of these during my customizing run… I just didn’t think the mold was very interesting, which amuses me highly since now I wish I had more of them! (more…)

Scale: Micro Mini

This little guy has the honor of being the first micro mini I ever painted. He was also the first artist resin I ever bought (and the first micro resin too boot!) That’s a lot of firsts for someone so small, but he’s got an ego that’s more than up for the challenge. (more…)
