Sleeping WIP

Here's a little sneak peek of my next work in progress.
This started off as one breed, but I think once I start furring it I'll find the body is too thick, and the face not long/slender enough. But then, maybe I'm too used to longer noses American types, Ludo's snout is shorter than theirs. So it might end up another breed. Regardless, it's a herder/collie type and they all pretty much look similar underneath. So could be a sheltie, could be something else!

Haven't quite decided on colour yet! Shall I challenge myself with merle or sable, or play safe with tri colour?



The smudgy bits are pastel by the way. I'm working on painting some on pre baking to the areas where the fur will be applied thinner to give a softer, more natural look rather than painting. We'll see how it works out. I did this on the mini Reilly actually.

  1. Wow - you are getting so good at this, the head and ears are AWESOME in fact the whole thing is. Hmmm I am thinking you have a ready supply of blue merle color (not sure Ludo will like the brushing bit to get some) so why not give it a try? Mini Reilly still pride of place on my cupboard :
