Chocolate rain WIP 12-16-15

[PoniesYeah]

The last thread got locked, it appears. Don't blame them It was started in 2013.
But since I had to do a little repairative sculpting on the kings unicorn I figured I'd pull this one from the shelf too. Eventually I will have my pony shelf cleaned off. Then that's it for me.
That being said. Once this one is complete she will be sold.
I might pop that eyelid off and try again. what do you guys think?

Sculpting is all complete. I did end up popping the eyelid off. In the end, felt is was too "rarity smoldering / sex kitten" Probably just me that saw it that way. Or another way to see it, was as being too B-word." So after redeciding what her character is. I rounded things out more and tried for "cool girl". And that cookie there! I was all set to have this thing done during a toddler's nap. With time to spare! But that fudgin cookie... I made it three times. The first one was perfect, till I put it back in the oven to make sure it was well done. Then forgot and it became char done! the second one just became a crumbling mess. And I've no clue why. The third one, juuust right.
Also, just to address something...
As I said in a reply to someone in the thread... I'll be closing the door on pony customizing once my pony shelf is cleaned off. It takes me so long to produce one piece, that they're more of a time taker from the artistic path I want to specifically travel. But at the same time I can't turn my back on what I have in the pipeline. Every time I look at that shelf I get the "see it through to the end" feeling. Plus, if I clean it off I then have free space to display crap I'll have to defend from a toddler. The battles will be epic. Blood may even be spilled. My blood. Cause I don't clip his nails like I should.
But there is a dash of hope. I can foresee the door remaining open just the smallest of cracks.
For things like dire financial situations. Which happens a lot. Cause I'm crap at taking care of myself and the natural enemy of my ankles is stairs... And sidewalk cracks.
And maybe once for a raffle. Always wanted to hold a raffle. And I do wanna work on just one G3Zilla.
So those and the seven up on my shelf now... That there be it. So really I'll still be doing this for a bit.

With all that said. I'll just say here that Chocolate Rain will be for sale once she's complete. Given the rate I work at, I'd say there's plenty of time.

Hmm, should I remove the raindrops on her temples?

Working out a color palette now. Figuring what will be milk chocolate vs. dark chocolate vs. white chocolate. The tones are brighter than I wanted. Think I'll gray them back a little. Moved around some of the rain drops. Made things a touch less busy. Thanks goes out to Diana, my go-to art sistah.

I'm still here. Working on her when I can. Between a number of commission and group shows, she gets a little attention.
How's your holiday season going so far?

Used to. But I just take too long. That and unfortunately. Pony customizing has lost it's luster. So once My shelf is cleaned off, that's it. I'm closing the door. Heh, Unless finances get desperate. Which they often do.

[kaoskat]

She looks amazing so far!

[Uninu]

She looks great! So sad to see you going away from ponies though.

[Tulips]

  What if if I threw some dubloons at you? You  know, the big, shiny ones with skulls and krakens on 'em.

First sorry to hear you are calling it quits, your work has always been the coolest and such detail.  I do hope perhaps in the future customs shall once again call to you.

Second she looks cool, I hope some of that is dark chocolate.
