Another goatie, with a tropical arboreal capricious inspired by spring hail (Giboulée) this time.

I wanted white spots to symbolize the hail bouncing in the spring greenery, hence the presence of a fair amount of yellow, because I love fields of dandelions. =)

(Yeah I know, all this doesn't sound very tropical. X'D)

Encore une biquette, avec un capricieux tropical arboricole inspiré par les Giboulées cette fois.

Je voulais des tâches blanches symbolisant la grêle rebondissant dans la verdure printanière, d’où la présence d’une bonne quantité de jaune, parce que j’adore les champs de pissenlits. =) 

The last capricious of the series with a fluffy goat inspired by the Rain of sulfur.

Not sure if this term is used outside of my area, but in south of France during spring when holm oaks are in bloom they are loaded with such a quantity of catkins that with or without rain, a thin yellow film of pollen covers everything around. We call it a rain of sulfur. ^^

Dernier capricieux de la série avec une biquette toute fluffy inspirée par les Pluies de soufre.  

A few pages of references to define the different types and lenght of muzzle, and the different types of legs depending on the environment where live the capricieux. First come the front legs, then the rear legs. It’s still under construction but let's say that I have a good basis with this anyway. ^^

(Sorry, I didn't have the courage to translate my notes, feel free to ask questions if you have any!)

New capricieux with the freezing Rain this time.

This is clearly the one that gave me the most difficulties and with which I'm the least satisfied.

I was aiming for a frosty effect, like the ice laces that sometimes form around the leaves in winter. But I ended up with a curly goat whose fur I completely repainted for a frizzy effect closer to what I was looking for. Not to mention the battle to paint a white animal on a white background without it looking dirty.

In short, it was an instructive style exercise, let's say. X'D

Nouveau capricieux avec la Pluie verglaçante cette fois.

Celle-ci est clairement celle qui m’a posé le plus de problèmes et dont je suis le moins satisfaite.

Je visais un effet givré, comme les dentelles de glace qui se forment parfois autour des feuilles en hiver. Mais j’ai fini avec une biquette bouclée dont j’ai entièrement repeint la fourrure pour un effet frisouille plus proche de ce que je cherchais. Sans parler de la bataille pour peindre un animal blanc sur fond blanc sans qu’il ait l’air crade.
