Broodmare Update

I’ve been delayed on progress on this little miss for best part of a week, but I never posted the latest photos of her, so here she is as of now, I’m hoping to make more progress with her tonight and get her finished soon.

I’ve tweaked her here and there, resculpted her rear n/s back end and worked on her neck (not finished with that yet).  I’ve also lowered her leg joints slightly, as you can see in the fist photo where the n/s knee is lower than the o/s (I’ve gone too far here, but will be refining it tonight so it will appear slightly higher than it is now.  I enlarged all the tiny air bubbles on her belly so the effect is quite exaggerated where I’ve filled them in.  I’ll let the pictures do the talking now, I hope to have another update for you soon:

I saw this picture of a retired OTTB broodmare and she totally reminds me of your mare.

Hi Lynn, thank you SO much for that picture - I've been really struggling to find reference photos of a horse with her head in this position - lots of grazing horses but non with their head raised and to the side like this. Now I can make sure my model's neck is accurate - you're a complete superstar!!
Thanks!
