I managed to fix the body color on my custom horse. I really like it now. Most of the graininess is gone and he just overall looks better than he did. I thought for a minute I had ruined him, but I managed to get him fixed up. I also ran out of matte finish, though I got 2 coats on before that happened. I have more coming and as soon as it arrived I will get several more layers on him.
I touched up the black on his mane and tail and started on his socks. I have 6 layers on and I might need one or two more. Or 10 more, who can tell with white.
And look, an eye! I have painted eyes before but I don't really remember how to do it without looking. So I went back to the Braymere blog and found an eye tutorial from Isaac Brushett. I did not have every single color recommended so I had to wing it a little bit. But I am really pleased with this horse eye!

Your model is really looking nice! For some reason, every time I see him I think of a candy bar. He just looks like high quality chocolate.
Brushett's is the same eye tutorial that I'm always using (and crediting in my NaMo blog posts)! When something's good on the Web, it doesn't die...
... and I agree with Lynn about the chocolate horse. Possible names: Ghirardelli, Mars Bar, Cocoa Beach, Butterfat Content (ok you probably won't take that one), Cocoa Nibs, Hershey Kiss, Semisweet, Abuelito, Cortes [p. Cortez]. The last 2 are brand names of Mexican chocolate that I am fond of. Abuelito means 'dear little grandfather.' (The product is actually named Abuelita (Grandmother) but your horse is male.)
