Hi everyone ! A friend asked me to customize one of her childhood ponies. She wanted something with a space theme and horns, so there it is. It has nebulae all over her body, stars and eyes inspired from the famous black hole picture we've gotten recently.
It looks a bit better in real life.
Horns and tail were made with "papier mâché" and wire.
Everything was painted with Acrylic paints, fur is wool and glitter is iridescent glitter. Everything was then sealed in numerous coats of varnish.
Not too fond of the horns, but I can't go back without destroying it entirely so.. *shrug*.

Starting from her tail tip, the fuzzy yellow fur is the sun, then Mercury, Venus, Earth and Moon, Mars, the Asteroid belt, Jupiter and Saturn. I didn't know where to put Neptune and Pluto though.

I hope you like this custom. It took me a lot of time and effort. I've seen it on my desk for so long, I don't know if it is actually looking good or not.
Have a great day !
Rose.
