UPDATE: Rather than posting huge pictures here, I'll just link to the photobucket album for you guys. There are tons of pictures and I tried to get some close ups of the rainbow designs as well.

She's not quite finished yet as her head is still drying, and I have to do something with her hair (maybe curls? I haven't decided yet). BUT...Puzzle 'encouraged' me to go ahead and post up the two small pictures I have so far. They were taken with my phone, so they aren't that big. ^^
I've been planning this pony for ages, and just got in a lot of baits (thanks Puzzle!) so she was the first one I decided to do. Oddly, the rainbow designs were easier than I expected. Fortunately, I had a lot of time to plan out how I'd do them. I wish you could get rainbow hair blends because blending it by hand was such a pain. LoL
As I finish her up, I'll get better pictures for you. ^^

You know I think she's glorious! I adore the way you've overlayed the colours in her design, and how the gradient matches the gradient in her hair. And the white eyelashes look fantastic!

Thanks everyone! I decided to curl her hair. <3 I love curls and I think it'll look cute with the rainbow blend. Glad everyone likes her so far.

She is beautiful! How did you paint her like that?
Saja - one thing I learned with the first black custom I did is that some colors do NOT show up well against black. Red is horrible about it--four or five coats and you'll still get black bleeding through. White, on the other hand, shows up really well against black. And if you paint other colors on top of the white, they stand out.
So I actually painted all the designs in white first, then carefully painted over them, slowly working outward and blending each new color into the previous. This meant I only had to do two (three in for some colors) coats of paint to get the colors showing up really well. =3
Otherwise, it was just painted really carefully by hand, and when I was done, I went back and touched up the edges with black paint to make the lines more delicate and pretty. ^_^
I hope that made sense! LoL

She is AMAZING! Flat out amazing! I love her!

Ooooh, how beautiful... (but some people might know I have a soft spot for black ponys with rainbows. lol)
-
Oh my gosh. This pony is to die for! Rainbow on black is the best thing ever, and I'm in awe of the detail painting.

She's beautiful. I love that she's black with the rainbow design.

ARGH STOP SHOWING ME THIS - I can't handle the gorgeousness!!!!
-
she is amazing!

absolutely gorgeous :) love the color's melting into each other so well in the areas they cross, and I love how the blue is so dark it almost blends into the black in areas, or gives it a sneaky chameleon look to it ;) very cool, great job and great idea!
