Hello!

Thank you for all the love regarding my last post, I really appreciate it and I feel blessed to have such understanding and loving patrons like you ❤

I just want to jump in here to give you a friendly reminder about the patreon discord server, as I can see there's still quite a few of you who aren't there (totally understand if you don't want to, it's of course not mandatory, but just in case you have forgotten it exists).

In the discord server you'll be able to tal...

Announcement

TW: text involves information about animal death.
If you're not comfortable reading about that, I'll give you the conclusion: sadly there will not be a post with content this week. I will come back stronger next week ❤

Hey guys, I hope you're doing well! 

On Thursday our beloved family pet sadly passed away. He was an almost 3 year old Siberian hamster...

Free item - working equitation saddle

Helloooo dear friends!

Today I want to provide you with a WE saddle, but of course you can use it for other stuff too, like classical dressage, hacks ++, whatever you choose!

You may recolor as much as you like, I forgot to add a logo so you don't have to worry about that!
If you also feel like it's too much details for you liking, feel free to turn down the textures a bit!

The...

Work in progress

Happy Sunday everyone! 

Thought I'd jump in here out of the blue to show you some of my wip's. 

Some of them I will finish eventually, some of them most likely I won't, but here we go!

This is of Balder, and was supposed to be my entry for the Netflix show. I was supposed to enter with a theme from the "Vikings" series on Netflix. I quickly realized that I wouldn't have t...

Stock horse coat sheet

Hey guys!

The last coat sheet incoming, the stock horse version!

Rip 🕊

I'm sorry that this particular sheet doesn't have the same design as the others, but since the stock horse conformation pose is quite... stretched or what to call it, it wouldn't fit without me sizing it way too much down. 

Other than that, information about order to put the layers in, canvas size ...

Free item - sheepskin bareback pad

We're interrupting the coat sheet program to release this sheepskin bareback pad!

I have used the same girth as I used for the other bareback pad I have previously released, but of course with some modifying and additions. With a bit of warping it's perfect for this pad as well!

Hope you like it, and happy easter/holidays if you have that in your country 💛

Hugs from Cath ❤

Pony coat sheet

Hey guys, how are you?

Another coat sheet is coming in fresh for you guys, and this time a pony version! I decided to give it a roached mane so it's easier to use for fjords, other ponies can have roached manes too right??

The stuff I have written previously about the coat sheets still apply for this one as well! 

Next up (and the last one for now) is the stock version.

...

Foal coat sheet and an announcement

Hey guys, and happy Friday!

Since most of you guys wanted me to keep going with the sheets until I have released all of them, I will today provide you with the foal version of the coat sheet!

Again, as mentioned before, you may change the layout however you want! 

The size is the same as usual, and the order of the layers is also the same as previously. 

I also want...

Draft coat sheet

Hey guys and happy Sunday!

Finally time for a new post, and finally time for another coat sheet!

This time you'll get the draft coat sheet, and as usual you'll get three files; the line art, coat base and hair base. 

As usual you're allowed to change the layout, like for example removing the boxes and/or move around on the placings, but I would appreciate it if you didn't chan...

Free item - ear bonnet

You asked for a side viewed ear bonnet, and I got your back!

Model used: Klara Masterhall's JM Disco Diva.

As usual, this bonnet comes in all the swatches I have given you previously. I know I have said this before, but this is the last item I will provide in these swatches (for now at least lol). You now have a full matching outfit containing saddle pad, rope halter, brush boots and ear...

Free item - bell boots

Hey guys, hope you are alright!

Today I want to give you a set of rubber bell boots, as it has been a wish from you guys previously. They come in two different versions; with and without faux fur, and they also come in both side and front view! 

They only come in one swatch, black, but you can of course as usual recolor! The logo is printed into the rubber, so you can include the lo...

Tutorial - how to draw a cartoon styled ground

The title and pictures says it all!

I have provided you with two brushes I have used: muddy ground (from step two) and sandy ground texture (from step 5)

Backgrounds

Hey guys, and happy Sunday! 

Today I want to provide you with two new backgrounds you can use for your edits/artwork: one stable background, and one that gives you a really spring vibe!

Feel free to add/change anything you want in the backgrounds, I just give you the base! But if you want ...

Free item - brush pack

Yes you read correctly, you get a whole pack for free!

This pack contains 38 sketch, shade and blend brushes, but also a couple of rendering and highlight brushes! The brushes works great for sketching, but also line arts, general shading and rendering! I have named a few of them my favorites, so you can see which brushes I use the most!

When released to the public this pack will cost 5U...

Free item - rope halter

Hey hey heeeey, happy Friday!

Incoming is the (for now or what I have planned for now at least) the last item in the same swatches as the saddle pad. Unless you have more suggestions of course!

This halter was honestly super hard, but also super fun to do! You can use it both as a regular halter, but also as a bitless bridle. Just add a snap hook and some rope for reins and you're good t...

Free item - a 🍑load of brush boots

Helloooo and happy Friday!

With a 🍑load of saddle pads, we of course need a 🍑load of matching boots, am I right?

The boots comes in all the same amazing colors as the pads came in, except the black and white version. With the saddle pad the black and white came in two versions each, but with the boots they only come in one version each.
If you need to, you can as usual recolor,...

Free item - character sheet

New day, new character sheet!

As last time, this is just an example of how it can look. It's at least something like this I imagine it to look, but if you want to do something different it's totally fine! But as mentioned before, I would appreciate it if you could leave the design itself as it is. 

I have provided you a png of the sheet, without the background color, as previously.&...

Free item - character sheet

I previously asked you guys what you wanted next of character sheet or draft horse coat sheet, and most of you responded with character sheet! But don't worry, I will of course make the draft sheet, and the rest of the other sheets that I have promised!

So here you have the first character sheet, that you can use in your instagram story highlights if you want to!

If you don't want the sm...

Free item - a 🍑load of saddle pads

Hey guys, how's it going?

I have been working for quite some time now on new saddle pads for you, and the one saddle pad comes in amazingly 31 swatches, and in your favorite colors as well!

If you want to recolor you can of course do that, and this time my logo is supposed to be embroidered in ...

Free item - riding gloves

You asked for unreleased StarTack items, so here you go! I actually don't know if I have anything more, but I will have a look!

Anyways, I have named the gloves "Cuir", which means leather in French (I think?). I usually don't name the Patreon items, but since they're made a long time ago for StarTack, I thought I'd keep the name.

As you can see, the cloves comes in 3 different swatches;...

Iberian coat sheet

New day, new sheet!

Today I provide you with the Iberian version of the coat sheet, hope you like!

Same as last time, feel free to rearrange the sheet, remove the text boxes, but don't change the line art or remove my logo.

In this one as well I have used a canvas with size 3000x2000 and 200 res.

Order of the png's: first base coat, then base hair and then line art. 

Step by step tutorial - clothes (sweater)

Hey guys! 

In this tutorial I will show you how I draw clothes, and this time more specific a sweater!

Step one: draw the base (ignore the horrible line art)

Step two: shade with a darker color. Here I have used a hard round brush on 50% opacity, to get those harsh lines where it's needed

Warmblood coat sheet

Heya guys! 

This years first official post will include a coat sheet I have talked about. But since I'm doing so many different sheets, I will do them one by one, and the first one out is the warmblood sheet!

Here's an example on how it can look!

I've included three files as attachments; the line art, the coat color base and the hair color base. This way you don't have to spen...

New year, new Patreon, new.... us ⭐️

Happy new year dear patrons! I hope you have had a decent start of the new year, and I hope '22 will be better than the year before! 

With this new year comes new changes. One year ago I dipped my toe into the content creator water, and I started this Patreon with one tier, and one tier only, just to get a feeling of it all. Today, one year later (to be very exact in fact) I want to expand my Patreon!

What does this mean? And what does it mean for you guys who already have a ...
