I don't know what it is about the 15th that finally reminds me I need to post to this blog once in a while but yet again, a post a whole month later.
This time for something fun! So this Andalusian sculpture is getting closer to completion here.. and I'm still at a loss for names. I could use some fun input and am very willing to give the FIRST person who gives me the name I go with a free copy (postage on you but otherwise free). :)
THE RULES:
- The name must begin with a "P"
- It must be posted in the comments below to win, I will (maybe repeatedly) post "done" when I finally decide on one. There isn't really a time frame, I just need to go "omg I love it!"
- Keep it clean please!
- Not a rule but PLEASE look through the previous names submitted so you don't waste your effort! :)
I'd better turn the moderate comments feature off this time otherwise it will cause GREAT angst I'm sure.. that moderated comments thing is a frustrating feature that I only decided to use when some scammers started posting links to smarmy stuff that had nothing whatsoever to do with anything horses or art related. Lets hope I can get away with a few weeks without that though! :D
Blahblah - SO here he is hanging around in my studio.. his legs are setting after some intense reconstructive surgery. Those are my blinds behind him at a weird angle. He has work left to go clearly.. but it's more fun to work on a pony when he's named.
I confess I was photoshopping the feet to see what I wanted to do next when the apoxie hardens here... eeeee! (So hard to wait but I sort of consider that my "to do" list in sculpting. Plus it's a lot less trial and error to work it out virtually first typically - yay for instant gratification 2x!)
I inverted the photo just because it might help some folks see him better. He's an Andy cantering along at liberty and wildly tossing his head - his ears are missing but they will be pinned a bit. He's a stallion strutting his stuff!
It was really hard to take this pic actually but hopefully you can see that his mane's flip comes up to about 2.75 inches.
He is WEE!!!
And he needs a "P" name soooo GO!!! :)
Adding one more of his face in here in case it helps anyone to get a feel for his character. I wish I could comment on the names submitted but I want to remain impartial until I'm certain!! :)

THANK YOU SOOOO SOOO MUCH GANG for all these really great ideas. My list of possibles was well over 10 items that I mulled around for a few weeks I think... I was really undecided until Pixel was suggested by someone here. Anyhow, it was such a help. I really may have to do this again! :D
