Any1 likes to paint my pets?

[MoonDance]

I've uploaded some pics of my pets today, maybe someone here is inspired by any photo :D I would love to get some ATCs of them. So if anybody likes to trade take a look at the pics:

You can either chose from my available cards or just tell me what kind of ATC you want in return. I guess the most know meanwhile that my fave themes are horses but I would also try to paint something else for you! (Please not more than 3 cards per artist)

You don't have to paint them exactly like the photos. You can also paint a running Moritz or a jumping Ali, whatever... main thing is that it looks like on of my pets at the end ;)
I just noticed that I forgot some pets, so I'l upload more pics later today...

I'm looking forward to hear from you ;)

[Gingersnap]

All of your pets are wonderful. Lucky you. I would love to do some of these, but I have to get my swaps out of the way first. I have subscribed to this thread so I don't forget.

[MoonDance]

Yes, I love them all a lot. My Shetland Pony Moritz passed away in 2003 at the age of 38. I miss him a lot.
Would be great if you join anywhen, you don't need to hurry just let me know when you paint something for me, I really like your animal cards!

[Ninnerfish]

I'd love to do a card of one or two of your critters! I haven't decided which one(s) I want to do yet. Hmmm...

[Tlouey]

Ali is GORGEOUS!! If I can get ahead of my To-Do list this month, we'll have to do a trade! I'd love to draw your Ali in exchange for a portrait of my old Quarter Horse, Quincy. I'll be back to this thread to confirm, later. :D

[MoonDance]

Ninnerfish, I'm looking forward, I like your style a lot, can't wait to see what you do with my pets ;) Let me know what kind of cards you want for return!

Tlouey that would be great!! I'd love to paint Quincy for you. We can also trade next month or even later, whenever you find the time for it.

[Tlouey]

April will be my last month to be on this site a lot.. May, I'll be on, but will be trying not to take on anything new... come June and afterward, I will be MIA until further notice :p

SO, hopefully I can get through all this stuff this month so we can do that trade!
Just finished inking four more cards this morning. Have to wait until hubby gets home from work tonight before I pull out my paint, though... so that he can occupy the toddler while I'm trying to paint.

[MoonDance]

Seems you are VERY busy these days! I would really love to trade with you again, so I hope it's possible :D

[Tlouey]

I'm nearing the end of my list of swaps/trades that I currently need to get done, so I think it'll work out :D

[Judithian]

Not only are your animals wonderful, but your photography is incredible! You caught such brilliant color and character.

[Tlouey]

agreed... amazing photos :D

[MoonDance]

Thank you, I'm glad that you like them!!

Tlouey I'd need a pic of your horse then... :)

[Tlouey]

I have Ali sketched up... have to warn you, Im not to good at likenesses with pets... but at least she'll be the same build and colour... heh :rolleyes:

I had a really pretty photo of him grazing under a tree with white blossoms on it... I'm trying to find it, but my photo albums are all in a disarray because of rifling through them a few months ago to find photos for my Uncle's funeral. Anyway, I'll post more photos as I find them.


Here's more...

All these photo's make me miss my horse. He was such an extension of my life for so long.

[Tlouey]

I miss my horse and all horses so much... last saw my horse in 2004 :/

[OriginalYouth]

Beautiful animals, one and all. Some really lovely photos!

[Tlouey]

My card of your Ali is done... hopefully it shows some resemblance to the character of your horse... I went straight from the photo for the horse, since the photo was so perfect for an ATC as is. Hope you like :)

[Ninnerfish]

Wow, Tlouey, that is a really beautiful card!

[Tlouey]

thank you :D

[Ninnerfish]

Okay, here's my portrait of Moritz. He somehow reminded me of my "little old man" Archie (although he's a bunny) so I just had to draw him. I'd love one of your arabians - I've been coveting them since I saw the ones you uploaded recently.

[MoonDance]

Thank you SO much! I just LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE them both! :jiggy: very great works!
Quincy is so cute, I will try to finish your card today or tomorrow (depends on how much work I have the next days...) I let you know when it's ready to send! Ninnerfish, I've already traded some of the Arabs meanwhile, but I can paint another one for you if you like. Or take a look at the gallery maybe you want any of the arabs which are left.

[MoonDance]

I just uploaded more photos, so if you finished painting my pets you can also paint my friends horses for me *lol* :twitcy:
They are all a part of my life as well

[IceKat]

Wow, I didn't know ponies/horses could live to 38--that's great. Eventually I'd love to get in a trade with you! I'm just overwhelmed right now.

[molossus]

I'm a little swamped at the moment but I'd love to do one or more of your pictures, once I catch up a bit. I've just ordered some new Momi paper in exciting colors, and one of these would be perfect. I've got to do one of the close-ups on scratchboard, too!

Hopefully, you won't be tired of Arabians by the time I get to asking for mine!

[MoonDance]

I'd love to trade with you both, and I can also paint more Arabians ;) Don't worry about the time, we can trade whenever you find the time to paint something new :)

[MoonDance]

I would love to get some cards of my cat Grossele and my dog Kira to remember them forever. I made a huge frame with all my pet cards and there's a lot of space. I will post photos of them here later today, also of the other pets which are still missing in the frame... would be wonderful if anyone would paint them for me. I miss them both so much. It's so hard to let them go. :( Kira passed away yesterday. Our flat is so quiet and empty without her, and my other dog is sad like we are. It's going to be hard to get used to this new situation.

[MoonDance]

Here they are, I hope anyone gets inspired by the photos

[MoonDance]

...and my Grossele

[lemurkat]

Kira is gorgeous. Would oyu like me to draw her for you?

You certainly have a lot of beautiful animals.

[MoonDance]

That would be great Kat! What do you want in return?

[lemurkat]

Moondance - what colour were Kira's eyes?

[MoonDance]

The left one was dark brown and her right eye brigth blue with a little brown spot below the iris :)

[lemurkat]

I'm glad I asked! I couldn't pick that from the picture (I was undecided between blue and brown).

Well, it's done, but it's not all that grand. So don't worry about making me anything in return. I hope you'll enjoy it anyway and that I did her at least a little bit of justice.

I'll have this in the post today. Along with the Chimera returns.

[MoonDance]

aaaaaaaaaaw! I LOVE it, so cute! Thanks so much kat! :jiggy:

[lemurkat]

I'm glad you like it, Moondance.

[Ashazart]

Lemurkat, I really like your new avatar!
