Where are you at Trish?

They are both Frozen Semen Contracts too. Not ICSI. So that is a plus i guess.

Narran Park

11:56:56 Sting

I would love to sell one of them. But they aren't transferrable. Unless the buyer wants to work with me on it. which is possible, but people are hesitant. So i will most likely be stuck with them.

11:55:38

Sting
I remember that... are you going to keep those services or sell them?

Narran Park

11:54:49 Sting

Mossy, i actually have 2 service fees for him now.
Long story.
My Mare died in foal to him. LFG.
I decided to use someone else's mare for ET(A Gunner Mare).
I bought the mare owner a stud fee to Spooks as payment for using their mare.
Mare failed 5 times.
Now i am stuck with both services.

11:52:39

Are you still trying for a spooks foal? I know his semen is limited since he passed a few years back, isn't that right?

Nice Trish!
My Black mare i lost was lovely old Performance and sprint lines. + a Black frame Rabicano. She was my dream.

I hope to put some more Sprint back into my lines.
My White gelding is Total Impression Bred.

11:48:38

My mare just kick started my tobi warmblood lines so I better be getting some flashy foals

11:47:36 Terici/Dino/Trish

Jealous our only "coloured" mare is a Smokey Grulla gone grey lol and my own mare is dunskin but everything else is bay or red

11:46:54

Ooh, that'll be a flashy baby Sting! 👀

I had someone ask me how i get a horse to black, and i was wondering how other artists do it? especially from light stock :)

I usually set the whole horse to a medium tone for a clear window for shadows/highlights during body prep. That means when body prep is done my horse is not black nor light. If I go black or white, I usually use the brightness/contrast filter to the tone I like. After that, I touch up and enrich the color with an overlay layer (In this case black) to the specific areas I want neater. Good luck! <3

pretty much the same as crystal lol.

I desaturate first, do my body prep, and then darken it. The darkening is the hardest part since you have to be careful not to make it too dark but also not make it look like a grullo.

It's kind of hard for me to explain the exact steps because there's no 'one way' I do anything, I use the method of 'screw it, we ball' when doing art haha.

Same, I just wing it as I go. I almost never do anything the same way I did on the last piece I worked on.
