Hakumei - Oriental custom
« on: January 22, 2012, 05:57:08 AM »
...commissioned by none other than our very own Oriental pony lover Izrabeth. ;) I meant to wait until the pony is in her new home but I just cannot wait any longer, sorry Izrabeth.  :biggrin: (She's seen the pony already so no harm done there.) Hope you'll like her as much IRL.

Izrabeth asked for a pony similar to my Natsuko and sent me a few reference pics of pagodas and willow trees which I used to make up this scenery. The pony had some stains on both sides, the DS was no problem since I always knew the painting would cover it all, but the NDS was a bit trickier with the stains forming a trail from her front leg to her belly. Finally I came up with some lotus flowers, and dragonflies as per Izrabeth's original request. 

She was rehaired in Black Magick, Hematite and Roasted Almond nylon hair from dollyhair.com, got a hair style like that of Natsuko's and a kanzashi made with iron wire, chain, Apoxie, beads and some pink ribbon with Chinese knotting. I don't remember the names of these particular knots but I found the tutorials on the Internet. Some of those knots I found by googling were really spectacular, I suggest you take a look if you haven't seen them before. My first tries look pretty feeble in comparison but I'm quite proud of the lower one especially, it was listed under 'advanced knots' on the site I was using.  :P

Oh, and Hakumei means 'twilight' or 'dusk', at least as far as I know... Google and online dictionaries are my best friends. :lookround:

Comments and questions are welcome and appreciated, as always. ^^

Wow, she is stunning!  I love her HAIR!  I see traces of brown which really add so much depth.  The paintwork is so lovely and romantic.
