Props Customizing Hibachi, an Our Generation Horse

You may have seen my previous Project Journal thread, where I customized my Dream Valley Rah. Well, it turns out I'm not done with him.

In his story, he and his partner (both ghosts) traverse the desert wasteland of the afterlife on horseback.
So I got him a pony!

This is Hibachi, the pinto.


He's an Our Generation Pinto horse, and he's... alright, I guess? But I figured I can repaint him to be more accurate and less... generic looking lol.

Spoiler: My artwork showing how he really should look...

Spoiler: Internet photo of how I'd like to repaint him. (He'll have a more blond mane and tail though.)

To-Do:
Aquire materials (DONE!)
Spray paint horse (DONE!)
Paint details with acrylic paint (IN PROGRESS)
Spray paint bridle and saddle black (DONE!)
Adjust the length of the stirrups so Webb can actually put his feet through them
Replace hair with blond wefts

 

Thank you! It's a little intimidating because he's so BIG, haha~ XD

Anywho.

Completely spray painted Hibachi! NO turning back now!



His saddle and bridle are also nice and pretty and black now. Started painting the spots. Here's what he looks like as of now:



Still got a loooong way to go. Eesh. I'd work some more on him, but I've got a tattoo appointment to skedaddle off to~

 

Yeah I wrapped the mane and tail in foil to protect them while I spray painted. Right now it’s keeping the hairs out of the way while I do the detail work. I’m going to to a final matte spray to seal everything when I’m done painting, so for now staying wrapped in foil lol.
