Happy September guys! I am so not ready for summer to be over, but every season has it's own charm I guess! 🍂🍁🍄
New free items for you guys, 3 different types of stirrups and all of them in both side view and simple front view, which makes them versatile!
I made all of them in a simple color scheme, so it's easier to recolor if you want to!
Hope you find them useful!...

Hello! How are you beautiful people doing? ❤
Do you still have summer vacay or are you back at school/work?
Here's a few new items for you, some of them highly(!!) requested from StarTack followers: lead rope and reins. These two items have been requested almost on a daily basis from the moment I started up StarTack three years ago, and now my dear patrons, you're the lucky few that receive them from me!
As some of you may have read on the discord channel, I...

This summer sure has been busy on my hand, and not in a "I've managed to do a lot of drawing, Patreon and Gumroad" wise, but in a "the weather is nice, I should go outside and spend time with my family" wise 😆
Just as a filler post I thought it could be nice to show off some of this summers edits, in high quality, cause you know how instagram acts when it comes to quality..
Enjoy!
I do hope to get out a lot more tutorials, but they take time, so stay tuned!

Hey guys, finally a new item for you 🤩
I have made a drop noseband bridle just for you patrons! The bridle comes in two angles, side view and 3/4 view, and in two different "styles", one less detailed and one more realistic looking with more details like the one shown in the picture below.
Feel free to change anything you want, except the logo of course! That could be the bit, t...

Some might say that rim lights is my trademark, cause I always add it in my edits and drawings, simply because I loooove how it looks 🤩
You might be surprised how easily this is done:
Step one: select the layer you want to create the rim light effect on (ignore that the hay is selected too, I had merged the layers)

Good morning guys! Ready for yet another week? 💪🏼
Some of you asked me to show how to recolor items, so here we go!
Keep in mind that the prosess might be (probably is) different from program to program, but this is how I do it in Photoshop! Maybe you can pick up a trick or two if you use another program?
Step one: select the area you want to recolor, and copy the selected area and paste it on to a new layer. Don't forget to deselect areas you...

Hey guys, how is June treating you? I hope you're blessed with nice weather at least ☀️
Yesterday I stumbled across some old drawing I thought you might like. I'm still to this day very happy with them, and have thought about printing them and hang them up on my wall. But for now I hope you can enjoy them, maybe as screensavers?

Happy sunday guys, how are you doing?
I've been working on a bareback pad and now I finally had time to finish it, and this time I tried my best to make the saddle suit both styles I have previously mentioned!
Therefore I have made both a "realistic" version, and a more toned down, "flat" (or cartoonish if you'd like) version. The only thing that's different is the more realistic version have more details in it, like leather texture and textile texture. I really hope you like it, ...

Good morning guys! Or evening, night depending on where you're located!
I've thought more about lately that the "realistic" sso style isn't for everyone, and when some of you mentioned that you would like sso styled backgrounds I thought I in the future would vary between sso styled items and realistic styled items.
And to start it off I today provide you with three backgrounds from sso, where I only have edited the pictures to make it fit some of your sso styled art! <...

I have for quite a while worked on a dressage saddle for you guys, and that saddle in three different angles 🤩
Today I managed to squeeze in some work on them, and they are now finished and ready for you!
Girth and dressage pad is from StarTack, but let me know if you want me to make a complete dre...

Both backgrounds have been used, or I'm planning on using in my RP story, but you can of course use them as well if you want to! And...

Some of you have requested a horse shoe tutorial, and here you go!
This is the way I do it, feel free to pick up a trick or two.
First tip of this tutorial, and in general when drawing smaller details; use a big canvas! The bigger canvas, the better it is for making details.
Step one: draw the base. Keep in mind that metal aren't always completely grey. In this particular piece I have used a blueish grey. I have included the colors I have ...

Hey lovelies!
Hope you're having a great week so far!
During last weekend I told you guys I was planning on releasing a 3/4 view version of the academic/baroque saddle, and here it is!
I have also made a matching girth and stirrup you can use with the saddle. The girth is in a regular side view, but with easy adjustments it works perfectly fine with the 3/4 viewed saddle!

What's a more fitting release after the academic saddle I have provided you with than fluffy sheepskin and reindeer skin saddle pads? 🤩
Perfect for the baroque style!
Early upcoming week I will provide you with a 3/4 view version of the academic saddle AND a horse shoe tutorial! I also have a lot of items planned for you, so stay tuned!
If you have any questions, or requests whe...

Hey guys and happy friday/early easter/spring break 🌸🐝🐰🐣
Today I want to give you a baroque saddle, as some of you have requested one. It's simple in design, which makes it go with everything! Sadly, for now it comes without a girth, but with a little recoloring the baroque girths from StarTack fits perfectly!
In the future I will also provide the same saddle in a 3/4 view, and hopefully matching girths too!

Hey guys, hope you're having a nice monday so far ❤
Some of you might know I have created a riding skirt for StarTack, but I have never released various versions on the skirt, only a side view in riding position.
I thought it would be nice if you as patrons would get the perk of getting three additions to the skirt, one in 3/4 riding position, one back view riding position, and one in standing front view position 🤩

Hey guys! Hope you've had a nice weekend!
Some of you mentioned that front view halters are hard to find in the rp community, so I thought it would be nice to provide one from you!
As always, you can recolor the item if you want to!
Since I've had so little spare time for Patreon the last couple of weeks, I will provide you with two posts the upcoming week, so stay tune...

Today I want to share with you how I make hair, but take this with a tiny grain of salt, cause I love to experiment, so the way I do hair in this tutorial might not match up with the ways I do it next time, but the techniques are pretty much the same, I just love to vary what kind of brushes I use. And as always, my way is not the right way, or the wrong way! You do you, I'm just...

Hello, and happy first month of spring 🌸
First I just want to say sorry for my absent here on Patreon, I think most of you know why, and I just want to say thank you for being so patient and understanding, and super supportive!!
As a thank you I want to give you a discount code on my newest brushpack, Starstar's Equine equipment. The discount code will give you 50% off on this particular brushpack, and it's a code that never expires, so you don't have to rush and use it right a...

In this tutorial I'll show you how I create my backgrounds. As always mentioned; this is how I'm doing it, it doesn't mean there's a right or wrong way to do it, but since you wanted a tutorial, here it goes:
Step one is rather simple, and obvious: take a screenshot from in game and place it in your program.
Step two (optional): Remove the sky from i...

Tomorrow (on Friday) I will release a brand new brushpack on my Gumroad, but I want to provide you the whole brushpack for free! This is a brushpack containing mostly stamps, so they should work in every program (if you don't have photoshop, gimp or procreate, you might have to convert the brushes into PNGs and "create" the brushes/stamps yourself)
The brushpack includes 28 light beam/flare/bokeh/glitter brushes. Hope you'll enjoy them and...

Brace yourself, this is going to be a rather long one folks! This is how I reposition:
Step 1: First thing you need to do is to create a lineart. Once you have done that, you fill the line art with a base color in a layer underneath the line art, doesn't matter which color, this is just to have something to go after when repositioning. Remember that the lines have to b...

Shading and highlighting can for sure be difficult, especially if you yet haven't found the right technique that suits you the best. It's easy to jump to the short cut by using the smudging tool to blend the colors together, but in my own personal opinion, smudging is not always the best tool to use, especially if you want to accomplish a realistic result. The color picking technique sure is time consuming, but Rome wasn't built in a day, right?
I have always used the color picking tec...
