Liberty act spanish guy... that's what we'll call him for now. Can't you see him charging around after Lorenzo or hear the music & see the surreal lighting there in the Cavalia tent?!
Had some more time to play today, (truthfully sometimes I just have to abandon the raw casting cleanup brigade for a few hours & do something new & creative!). I put one of the few SM Breyers I have in the center photo for comparison.
Should enlarge pretty big if you click on it. :)
& Having nearly no other news, may I say WHEW where has this week gone so far???! :D

Wow, Morgen, I am loving how he looks so far! I can't wait to see this little guy finished :-)
Do you have some reference pics you could share? Every time I look at him I see him backing up, not cantering. I'm not sure if it's his left hind leg or something else, but I can't seem to see him as going forward. Are there any pics of real horses you have that I could see to get a better idea of the movement? I don't mean to be a b****, I love your work, but that is really throwing me off.
It's funny because I wrote to one photographer after a comment yesterday & asked about using photos in the blog (I have like 20 links from her site of tucked heads I was studying, but mostly my references are books). Anyhow, the answer is always the same though (and I do NOT blame them -> it's how they make a living); but photographers want usage fees and I just don't have any single photo I'd pay that much for just to share. But I'll look. I realized I could share video & say "pause it at 3:15" or soemthing like that so perhaps that'll work. :)
Ok, found one quickly, not a liberty act but I could find one of those too;

Freeze at 1:48 (and 1:46 too I think).
I'll see if I can find one of the liberty acts but I'm operating from satellite internet (it makes video and photos a bear to download).
Mmm yeah, exceeding internet daily allotment after just a few videos! Gotta stop but I found Alexander Nevzorov too (he used WBs I believe, but that's even better in a way to show that all breeds CAN collect)
See 3min into this..

The problem is that if I start posting single photos for something less commonly seen I run the risk of claims that I worked only from a photographer's photo (not true - that just doesn't work for me). Hope though that these and the terms "collected canter" or even "piroutte" will help. You do see it a lot on liberty acts where a horse canters around a person. I saw some Cavlalia, etc ones recently but frankly they are clearly pirated videos so you'll have to go out google to be on the safe side. :)
CAROL! I'm so rude here - thank you too!
He looks like a Giovanni to me! ;)
RE reference photos - if any of mine are of any use to use feel free to take as many as you like for sculpting refs and whatnot. :)

I hardly get a chance to see many real horses these days but when I do I try to record as many of them as possible! lol
Wow - that's a wonderful offer! It's slow surfing for me right now (pages loading slow)..but looks like you have some wonderful photos! Can I search up your email via your studio name? (or can I trouble you to email me your name for proper credit - I'm at artbymorgen@yahoo.com ). Tx!!! :D
