Dionysus - 2018 NaMoPaiMo Horse

I did it! I finished him off quite late last night and I'm so happy with him :)

He's the AA Carousel Horse, I bought him from Donna's box at a show last year.

I added the pole myself, it's just a perspex rod with a bit of epoxy putty to give it some detail

His base colour is palomino, done in airbrushed acrylics with pastelling and hand painted details.

The costume has been done in three shades of hand painted purple, including a nice metallic one for the blanket

The detailing was done in metallic gold

He is then finished off with Swarovski crystals

I have named him Dionysus, I wanted to go with Midas but as you guys know I already have a Midas, so I went with the next best thing :p

I'm so happy with this one, it is so nice to paint something for yourself that you love
