I decided I needed to add to my own collection of Breyer German shepherd customs, and since I haven't done one in black sable yet, well, it was time! As usual, I also painted a Hartland Bullet in the same colorway. This is definitely one of the most complicated paint jobs I've done; I did a black sable a number of years back when I was still taking commissions, but this version is much more detailed. Everything is painted by hand in acrylics, and I put a lot of hours into getting everything right.
The Breyer, of course, is staying in my personal collection, but the Hartland is available. When I got him the tops of his ears had been cut off and roughly rounded, so I sculpted new ones for him; I also resculpted his paws, belly and flank fur, and tail.
