This is the photos for my next project.. It was supplied by the client.... cute photo. Not crazy about it being taken with a flash... You really loose the depth in the photo and the coloring is not natural. Not to mention the yellow eye! But she caught such a cute moment... I will make it work!

Done! This portrait has already shipped out... and come back again :( the client wants Briley to be blacker.... This was the color of his photo. And I think it looks great! I am afraid it will become flatter the darker I make it. It is so had to put detail into the shadows of a black animal. But I am not the one that is going to be living with it... and I want the client to be happy... so blacker it will be. But it will have to wait till after the holidays. I will post the change on here...

This is moving right along...  The neck and chest always take time... especially on a dark bay!  The shape of these areas are subtle and if worked too much just end up looking odd.  And at the same time I want to have Briley's head pop out at you.  It can be a difficult joggling act!
