i was a little nervous as she said she didn't really like orange, and since part of the logo was orange i thought an accent in the hair was necessary, but only one side, so the yellow shows up on the display side.
I got to try alot of techniques i've never done before on this pony. i've recently gotten into making faceups for bjd, and use pastels for blending, blushing and gradients. and well i wanted to try this on a pony too.
there is blushing on her hooves, face and ears in a slightly darker blue. it took about 5 to 8 layers to get an even and dark enough coating. i'm really pleased with how it turned out. all was sealed with a dulcoat spray. since i used a technique i use on bjd on the body, i thought it was only fair to give her more luxurious eyelashes.
normally i go with a factory style, so this was new to me as well.
the another exciting adventure for me was the cutie marks, i used a combination of acrylics, watercolor for detail shading, and various glosses to make the logo cutie mark and more of a oil painting style on the catfish in the back. normally i just use clean solid lines and try to mimic factory style cutie marks as much as possible. lastly i make a small sculpted pet to go with the pony. i haven't made a sculpture in a long time and never for a swap, as i don't think they look good enough.
it was made with white scultpy and painted then sealed with a variety of triple thick and dulcoat, the teeth were made with glow in the dark sculpty, so i hope they still glow.
all in all i'm very happy with the result and hope that Eluluu likes her too.
