Stripes Are In This Spring

3/13/2017

0 Comments

 
 Hey all!
​ So I am going to make an honest attempt at keeping up this blog. I've kinda' gotten a little more into it since NaMoPaiMo, but I do know I will get busy & distracted at some point. I'm going to make an effort though! So today I am just going to show off this little girl. A CM Love CAF to a Grevy's Zebra.
...I have got to be insane. I am still learning the ropes to my new camera, the color isn't quite right, but you can absolutely see that the, what? Eighth? Of her that I have started painting is basically all hair-by-hair. &, yes, that is sculpted baby fuzz you are seeing. :)
​ These guys, Grevy's,  are really pretty! They have the finest, most memorizing stripes of all the Zebra breeds, & those cute little 'mickey mouse' ears. Babies have this variation of color through their stripes that goes from tan to brown to black to brown again, & that ruff continuing their mane down their back to their tail.
​ The future of this kid isn't decided yet, but she will most likely be a sales piece (I am seriously fighting the urge to keep her!). Other than the fact that she will most likely be for sale whenever she's finished, nothing else is figured out yet. There is someone interested in her, though I had thought of putting her up for offers. We shall see.
Until then, enjoy the WIP pics!
 Bonus picture: The first Garter Snake of the year! :)
