Cerridwen Still Making Progress

The last few days I have just about finished blocking in a cutting down Cerridwen's muscles.  I am dying to start adding details of course but I'm not there yet.  Still some tweaking but I am so happy with her so far.

I also wanted to give everyone a good idea of what size she is.  As you know from the original photos, she fits her little Breyer girl perfectly.  I was trying to think of the best horse I had around that nearly everyone has seen in person.  So I grabbed this Matriarch.  I place her next to Cerridwen so you can see she's a great sized riding pony, just over 13hh if she were in the real world.  Here is one of those comparison pics...

This photo doesn't show the length comparison well since I took it at a slight angle.  If you match up Matriarch's rear to Cerridwen's, the front of Cerridwen's chest comes to the back of Matriarch's shoulder (or behind her front leg).

Here's one a little more level...

And some more of Cerridwen...

So still a ways to go but this is a big difference in just a couple days.  She will have some wire poking out since the armature was really too big for her.  I cut out as much as I could but I think I'll just sand down the little pieces rather than dig into her again.

And btw, I got your emails about her mane.  So far we're close on the choices still with the short pulled mane is in the lead.  Now I do plan on doing an official poll just before Christmas.  No matter how she ends up, I'll still make 10 totally customized artist choice pieces to sell. 

I had a couple people ask about prices.  It's not set in stone yet but I plan on have her priced at $165.00 US ppd for the pre-orders and $195.00 ppd US for her regular one.  She will be a one mold run.

As for now I'll be finishing up painted pieces this week.  My daughter's bought me a plan ticket so I can visit them in Florida for Christmas.  I'll be working this week but somewhat unavailable from this coming Saturday the 12th till the 20th.  I hope my roommate can handle all the pets, lol!

Till next time...
