NaMoPaiMo Draws Near!

1/28/2019

2 Comments

 
 Wow, so, I guess I win the award for blog neglect, huh? It was just before the conclusion of last years NaMo when I fell off the Earth! My computer chose that time to finally start showing signs of impending death. Which brought on the side effect of panic on my behalf as I didn't have anything backed up. My circles are pretty low tech, so no one had ever showed me how to save things. But I digress. With the discovery of the library having a (brilliant!!!) tech lady, I got everything backed up, a new computer located, ordered, & set up! Still, that took me over a month, & by that time, I was completely out of my blogging groove. 
 But, here I am to at least partially rectify that! We all "Did It" & completed in time! So if I may, let me present to you the 2018 "I Did It" NaMoPaiMo ponies!

​ Here we have Kim's CM AR MM Pegasus.

 Isn't she just fabulous??
 & Angel's CM Classic Shire to a Gypsy, who won double seconds at his first show!
Picture
 Carole's CM PAM, so preety!
Picture
 & my Nocturno AR, who I've yet to get a decent picture of, poor fella. 
 Armed with a fresh computer that had better not have even the vaguest thoghts of dying on me this year, I once again will be taking my NaMo progress to this very blog, as well as sharing it with my friend Kim Prosek of Longwing Studio. Us face book-less hobbyists, lol. ;)
​
 Kim is all signed up & rearin' to go with her restored & prepped 'Sleepy Shire', who she aims to paint a beautiful contrasty dappled pangare bay like this guy.

  & my chosen pony this year is a Traditional 'Kipling' AR sculpted by Morgen Kilbourn...

 …& is a commission from my good friend Laura to be a portrait of her Mini boy Astro. THANK YOU Laura for about 30 pictures of Astro!!!

  Today, with all of four days 'til the start of NaMo, I thought I should maybe prep my dude for this year. Sounds logical, right?

 As of my posting this, there are still about three days left to register for NaMoPaiMo if you'd like to join us in the fun! You need not be a master painter, just dive in & have fun! It isn't a contest, it is simply a challenge to paint any 3-D model equine, in anyway you choose, with any media you care to, & try to do so between February 1st at 12:01 & February 29th at 12 midnight. If you still need convincing, I suggest watching this video by Christina Riley. ...Actually, I suggest watching it anyway as it's fabulous! For NaMoPaiMo rules & registration be sure to check out the Braymere Blog here! Also, if you have face book, take a look at the NaMo FB page where the greater majority of the action takes place.

  Stay tuned to my blog for a forthcoming post on prepping, & many updates on painting progress from both Kim & I!
 Bring on February!!
