NaMoPaiMo - First Week

It seems that I only blog and paint ponies once a year for NaMoPaiMo now. I guess not entirely true I was able to paint two small Christmas presents at the end of 2018. This year for NaMo I decided to do my first Traditional (yes I'm crazy) a portrait of my gelding Ace. I had plans for this last year after NaMo but never got very far, so I thought this is the year!

He is a Yasmin body, sculpted gelding parts, Huck head and tail. Also a re-sculptured mane. 

This is a piece of the real Ace's tail hair, which I put inside the air hole. A little bit of real Ace!

My supervisor overseeing my work. 

First primer showed so many issues! Why didn't I start sooner or try to go so large! 

One spot had a bad patch of epoxy, I had to remove it right down to the blue painters tape layer. So this next week will be more prep more! ...yay
