Happy Valentines day (extra post)

Hello! You didn't expect an extra post this week did you? 💕😼

I made a new saddle pad for one of my post and thought "Why not add it to Patreon?". With the heart shaped pattern is it well fitting for this day don't you think?

 
Just four color options of a side view saddle pad in dressage cut. Nothing else fancy 😂
You are as always free to recolor, tweak, warp and all that for it fit your ref better.

Hope you will like it and happy valentines day guys 💖
 

Transport rug + boots

Hello guys, and apologies for delaying this week's post!

Today you're getting a transport rug and transport boots in a 3/4 view

The set, that I decided to call "Rhys" comes in 11 different swatches, and the rug comes with either silver og gold details.

As usual you're allowed to tweak, adjust and recolor as much as you need to to fit your ref!

Wish you all a lovely week ❤️

Side view + 3/4 view halter

Hello everyone! 🤎

The theme of this month is On the road again. Something you definitely need (even if transporting without also is an option for certain circumstances), is a halter. So, say hello to Margaret!

 Preview

Margaret comes in both side and 3/4 view. Both angles comes in six colors and in both silver ands gold metal buckles. The halter is made out of both leather and nylon. Leather is especially good when traveling as it is easier to cut through if you need to get your horse loose quickly (example if it gets stuck). Nylon is sturdy and helps keep the halter in good shape without the need of the same maintenance leather do.

 Preview

As always are you free to recolor, tweak and warp it to make it work the best for you.

Teddy jacket

Hello and officially from me personally a happy new year 🎉

This is my first post and item this year, and I wanted to start off with something Cath is always wearing during winter;A teddy jacket, of course!

I decided to name it "Bamse", which is the Norwegian word for teddy.
It's in a 3/4 view and comes in 4 swatches as I wanted to fabric to have neutral colors. It also comes with detached arms to make it easier to fit your arm position. Just copy+paste the arm and place the second one on the layer underneath the jacket!As usual you're allowed to tweak and recolor, but please do not recolor the logo.

Hope you like, and I wish you a pleasant week!

Behind view stable blanket

Hello and happy Monday to you all!
Here comes the first item for the new year 💃🌟

Something we want to do more of is different angles of tack for a more diverse selection. Another thing we need is more blankets, I think. Anyway; say hello to the beind view stable blanket Bernadette

 Bernadette comes in 13 color options, all with beige details. You will also be able to see our new color palette for the winter with these blankets ❄️

Preview of a few

As always are you feel free to recolor, warp, adjust and etc.

You might also see something different with the background and logo in the items preview pictures? 👀
We decided to upgrade it a bit with changing color and adjusting our logo's colors a bit, to fit more to me and Cath. We hope you like it as much as us. It is just a small change, because we still like the base a lot 🤎

Happy new year!

Hello everyone, and happy new year!

We do hope you had a nice holiday and have gotten a fresh start of the new year!

The first post of 2025 will for some people be a rather boring one, cause it will simply be an info post where we share (some) of this year's plans with you guys!

As mentioned before, we will this year, as every year really, do some small changes, and hopefully that's good news for you. In this post we will share a small summary on what those plans are;

• Discord:
  The discord will change a bit, but hopefully to make things a bit easier for you.
  We will create new channels on Discord where we share the PNG's to all our items, so it's easier for you to find what you need, when you need it. This will include first and foremost groups/categories for each tier, and under those groups there will be sub folders for all individual items from Patreon, for example one for saddles, one for bridles and so on.
  This requires us creating roles for each tier that we give to you, so if you're a bronze you will only get access to the category for bronze and so on.
  This will be a lot of work for us, since we have hundreds of items to upload, so please bare with us 🙏🏼
  

• Public Discord?
  Something we have briefly talked about is to open up parts of the Discord to the public. This would include just the chat channel and maybe a couple more that doesn't involve direct benefits from the Patreon itself, but just to create a little more active community, find new friends etc. Is this a yay or nay for you guys, please let us know 🙏🏼
  

• The bronze tier
  We will make a small change to the bronze tier. Since we don't have many bronze subscribers we have subconsciously neglected to upload posts to that tier, which isn't fair, so from now on we will start uploading one of the posts silver/gold gets during the past month, to the bronze tier as well. That way they will automatically get at least one post per month. The price will still be the same!
  

• Seasonal collabs
  To engage our little community, and come together as one, we have discussed the opportunity to participate in collabs together, for those who want to join. This will include that we come together and make a collab together, 4-5 times a year (for example winter, spring, summer, fall, Christmas) where we (Cath and Lucia) take the initiative to get it done, all you have to do is tag a long! Is this something you think sounds fun? Let us know!
  

• Color palettes
  We are working on making color palettes that match the seasons, with colors that represent us (Cath and Lucia) more. These color palettes will be used on our items, depending on which season we're in. This way all our items can match together, even though they're not a part of a set.
  You can of course as always recolor if you want other colors, this is just to make it easier for us to make new items and match our styles together.
  If you want to get access to these color palettes as well, feel free to let us know and we'll make it happen!
  

• Point system
  Something we think is a very fun thing, but we won't share more than that for now 🤫

We also have lots of other fun plans, but we have agreed that we will keep those secrets from you guys for now, so we can plan more before we announce it!

Hope you will like these small changes, and stay tuned for the first "real" post of 2025 next monday!

Hugs from

Warm and fluffy texture brush pack

Hello everyone! Today you'll be getting something new from me...

...a texture brush pack, WHAT!?

This pack contains 16 different types of wool textures; plain wool fabric, wool patterns, sheep wool and knitted wool textures, four of each.

As they are only regular textures will they apply "straight". So they will not be following the brush motion, or how to say? I hope you get what I mean.
For some of them, like a few of the knitted and pattern textures, might you need to make some tweaking if used for clothing and fabric that is in movement for the texture to follow the flow, so to speak. The sheep wool looks the best to use in smaller areas (in my opinion that will say). But try them out yourself and see if you agree with me or not, maybe you think "what is she speaking about??". This is my first time making a whole texture pack, so it is a bit new for me 😅

 Some messy quick swatches! ⮥

And the promo pick without the blur so you can see the textures better ↴

I made this pack much because i felt like i needed even more textures like these (you now how i like this vibe after all, haha!). It was a bit hard to make a lot of them, so some might feel very simillar, but i can assure they are not at least 😂

The pack comes in a zip file as we have heard some have had it hard to make them open on some devices. Hopefully this will work. Just let us know if you have problems with them!

In which way do i really hope you'll find use for them 🤎

Quarter blanket "Bianca"

The blanket comes with a teddy fleece texture that keeps your horse both warm and dry during harsh weather. It also comes in 28 color variations plus 4 HiVis versions. In other words, 38 different variations!

We really hope you enjoy this item, and we'd love to see it in use, so don't forget to tag us so we can see your gorgeous artwork!

Repositioning 101 part II - a step by step guide

In the second and last part, I will show you my process when it comes to shading.

If you want specific tutorials, please let us know!

Hope this helps!

All of the halters in the picture can be found at our Patreon

You will find six different lead ropes in six different colors, and in both silver and gold metal in this round. We have started to include some new leather colors from time to time, have you noticed? We hope you like the new ones as much as us! Both me and Cath love the neutral leather a lot.

Repositioning 101 - a step by step guide

Hello guys!

Since we have focused a lot on drawing and greyscaling on Patreon we thought it was about time to make an updated tutorial / guide to how you can reposition horses from SSO following a reference.

This guide contains a complete "how to" from start to finish, and I will make a separate tutorial on how I shade and highlight and make the finished horse more personal and less SSO styled.
That tutorial will be up in two weeks, so stay tuned!

Hope this helps, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out!
