I should also note. The first sculpt was designed to be the "average joe" horse, designed to resemble the average grade gelding in someone's backyard. The idea was that someone would say "hey, that looks like my horse" and buy one (which seems to have worked so far). I wasn't going for a breed though so far it seems it most resembles people's backyard quarter horses (I know my main ref was a roman nosed QH named Diamond)

now the second one (the WIP) I am trying to go for the whole "swan necked arab" (think Magnum Psyche). Now I see it in the picture the muzzle is rather fat...I'll be adjusting that


thanks for all the input so far, I should've come here in the first place (I tried a normal art forum but all I got was "well, it looks just like a horse"....which wasn't exactly helpful lol)
