Title: Ursula for Ellis1342
Post by: Candy_Bang on November 04, 2012, 01:16:10 PM
Meet Ursula! She was made as part of the Animated Villains Swap for Ellis1342 and is the only G4 I have ever worked on! Trying to work on something so small and trying to rehair the tail securely really made me appreciated how talented you G4 customizers out there are!  :lol:

This side shows Ursula's alter-ego Vanessa, and you can also see her necklace and some of the starfish that attack her at the wedding!

Here is Ursula face-on. You can see one of the eels is wrapped around an extra in the background, but Flotsam and Jetsam both fit on the pony. I ended up sending the first (burnt) set of eels as I think they looked more menancing than this set, but only this pair properly glow in the dark.

On this side is a painting of Ursula herself, with sculpted tentacles. You can also see here how the hair is twisted up to resemble the character's. It is a mixture of glow-in-the-dark and UV-reactive white-to-purple but my phone isn't capable of capturing the glow, and it's past summer in Scotland so there aren't many UV rays about!  :lol:

I also made Ellis1342 a necklace similar to Ursula's and a GID version of her ponysona, but I forgot to take a pic of the extras!  :blush:

The swap was a lot of fun.  :biggrin:

I bet she was hard to work on. I have looked at mine and thought "Oh my the head is small!"

I know we've talked about it before but I do enjoy how different your style is. It definitely has an impressionist feeling. If you have shots of the extras you sent I know Ellis really enjoyed them. I'd love to see a few shots of the whole bunch. ;)

So very cool!
Thank you :)

Thanks :) Yeah, Ellis said she liked ponies that she could display from different angles so that's what I tried to produce. Yeah, the necklace was probably my favourite bit  ^.^

Thank you  :biggrin:

It wouldn't be Ursula without any eels!  :lol:

Yes xD I got so frustrated with that tail!  :lol:
she looks awesome ^.^

Yay :D xoxo

Thanks, although I think trying to put detail onto such a small surface contibuted to the style. At first I kept painting over myself accidentally, usually whenever I'd gotten something just right  :lol: It didn't occur to me to take pictures at all, I am so scatterbrained. They were fun to think up though. I think I might have sketches. Hopefully Ellis will come along with a pic for you  ^.^
What a great theme - love those eels!
Totally :) I developed a much bigger appreciation for Ursula from making this custom. I kept watching Ursula scenes over and over to pick poses  :) Yes, the eels are cool  ^.^
