Kirin - Fantasy Swap 2015 Custom for Saja

[dashesndots]

Sort of inspired by Saja's ponysona, although making it into a kirin made the custom take a much more masculine turn, haha!  Tail/horns/other details created with magic sculpt, painted with acrylics and Pearl-Ex, rehaired with various colors of Dollyhair and mohair. Had a lot of fun with this one! Unfortunately the eyes ended up a little big because I had sculpted over the molded eye area on the bait, and thus had to freehand them.  But otherwise I think he came out great!  I had never used mohair before and I really love how it looks!

Nice, love the scales!  Is that a metallic paint you used for them?  I'm not familiar with Pearl-Ex.  Oh, love the hair colors, too.

Pearl-Ex is a metallic pigment - you can brush it on and seal it or mix it with a medium or just straight with the paint to give it a metallic sheen.  I LOVE it, LOL, and I use it on pretty much everything.
