More horse WiP (Patreon)

This is obviously taking a while, it’s one of my most detailed models to date. Experimenting with new ways to make eyelashes (the way most people do them) and I’ll probably use a similar method for the fur tufts and probably the mane and tail. If it works out I’ll probably give all my models the new eyelashes and fur. I’m gonna keep making hair the same way though, because I like it. But my fur needs serious work.

This model has been interesting because I’m trying to make it more realistic, but also still cartoony and attractive, so finding a middle ground is important. Obviously all the proportions here are subject to changes, but in general this is her shape, she’s a Draft horse, so incredibly heavy and thicc, not like a regular horse. She’s also huge, about 9ft tall from the top of her head (I know horses aren’t measured that way.)

I’m gonna experiment with new material textures too, because I want her fur to actually look realistic and sleek, so that’ll require some experimentation, the old fur methods won’t cut it. As a result of all this new experimentation, this model is taking longer than usual to finish, but I’m hoping the end product will be well worth the wait.
