Portrait Complete!

So I posted photo's of this girl all over the place the other day, but those photo's completely missed my blog! But the long anticipated (for me at least), long in progress Millie is finally complete! And I couldnt be happier.
'Mini Millie' with a photo of the real deal
She came along so fast and with very little hassle which I am stoked about. She is the first traditional I have painted that isnt a black and I must say, I quite like them! I have a couple of trade horses coming in at some stage to do who are traditional and sounds like a CM Flash as well in a month or so. But this post isnt about them, so here's more Millie spam!






Absolutely could not be happier with how she turned out, my one and only never sell for now. I have already found a body to become Magic also, a Timoteo resin that I am going to rework so his back legs aren't way out behind him.

Pippin to Millie

Mane and tail gone, now for the amazing sculpt to come out and fill in some gaps. Although progress will be slow, I think I'm going to enjoy this, even though I haven't been very into CMing anything lately.

This is Millie...

She
is a Welsh (Riding Pony?) mare born in 1988. around 12.3hh high, she
was measure at 128.5 cm.
She was my best friend for around 5 years until we made the decision to
sell her (to somewhere closer to a vet incase she needed it) April,
must be, 2 years ago now I'd say.
I really would love a model to remember her by, I already have a SM
one, but I would love a bigger one to do performance with. I just can't
seem to find the right one!!!
Breyer Newsworthy seems to fit best so far, but then, being a jumping
mold he seems kind of limited in what I could do. So I thought of
Breyer's Flash, but the body type doesn't really fit overly well, he
could be made to work I guess.
I have had the PS Pony suggested, but that mold doesn't entirely take
my fancy to start with, so I'd rather not go there to make it a
portrait of a horse I loved.
Is there anything else out there that would fit? I don't really care
whether it is a resin, a breyer, or a stone, I just need some ideas to
help me out a bit!!
She loved jumping, she would jump anything and everything, I jumped her
up to a metre and that's where she felt best, I never really tried
anything over that, but smaller heights she just felt really awkward up
to about 85. I'm not sure if all horses are like that or if it was just
her, but I liked to think of it as she was truly a jumping pony! She
hated showing, would do about 2 classes then take herself back to the
float.
We always rode her in a dutch gag because her mouth was so hard, but I
never had to use it, I was always riding her on a loose rein.



At age 21.

Our last ride.

So any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
