Poll Name that horse! Well I finally finished (at least the partial of) my semi-secret horse suit in time for Rainfurrest this weekend! By the way, if you caught pictures of him, I would LOVE them emailed to me! Anyways, he's a black 'blanket' appaloosa (can't tell that yet...no rump) and as of now has no name. He went to the convention as "Colt" but I don't know if that really suits him :/ He's a Western/ranch type horse...so some sort of cowboyish name would be best if anyone has suggestions?
As for construction, he's foam and balaclava based with plastic bowl eyes. Also, a tip for those using plastic bowl eyes: A great way to paint the irises is with a Sharpie PAINT pen! I found them at my local JoAnn's and it was a life (and time) saver! Nice thin, smooth, easy coat, and it's just really easy to control. So yeah...there's my little tip!
Hooves are foam over a soft slip-on type shoe for those wondering.
OK! On to pictures!
