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!

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 time to finish, so I'll probably use it for a "rp ...
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 etc. can be found in previous sheet posts!Now we're finally done w...
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.Hope you'll have a wonderful weekend!Hugs from Cath ❤
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 to take this opportunity to let you guys know that after I have released all planned co...

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 change the line art, or remove my logo. You can also put whatev...
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 bonnet. Might do more in the future, but for now I'm ...
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.

The logo is printed into the rubber, so you can include the logo in the recolor as well!Hope you like them and I wish you a lovely...
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)This creation took about 30 minutes (approx., hard to keep track of time when I create the Patreon post as I go). For the grass I have used the "tufts of spring grass1" from my spring pack! The ground brushes provided is also from that pack.I have also provided you with a full picture of t...

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 to go!The halter comes in the same swatches as the saddle p...
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, but please leave out the logo.If there's anything else you wa...
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.The sheet is 1080x1920.I have used the colors #4c4e3e for the...

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 the fabric, so you don't have to leave out that part when recoloring!I really hope I'll be able to make this in a 3/4 view angle as well, but sin...
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; black, dark brown and light brown (an...

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 neededStep three: blend the shadows, with whatever blending method you prefer. Some prefer smudging, but I prefer the color picking technique I have showed you earlier...

Advent calendar - December 22.
As mentioned yesterday, today comes a tutorial on how to do a winter landscape, but with drawing instead of editing! This is the method I usually go with, and the reason why is explained further down!Step one: take a picture from SSO, preferably without trees or only pine treesStep two: adjust the colors by desaturating the warm tones, and to get a more brownish/washed out green toneStep three: add bare trees (provided as an attachment). This is ...
