Just in time for the second season, I present to you the Hannibal pony that I've been working on since before last season ended. This was a gift for Cleolinda, recapper, pop culture blogger, and the person who coined the name "Dire Ravenstag."

For those of you not familiar with the show, the ravenstag is a recurring nightmare/hallucination that haunts FBI profiler Will Graham, inspired by a combination of images from a crime scene in the first episode. As the name implies, it's a black stag with feathers instead of fur, and it's a symbol of the danger Will's subconscious knows he's in.

I said feathers, right? Because there are feathers. Lots of them. I don't know how many; I lost count.

Feathers everywhere.

And antlers. Really awesome antlers.

And he has friends! Well, sort of friends. He has Will's dog Winston, who is a repainted Schleich figure, and a brain raccoon, which is a joke that originated in Cleo's recaps.
I have been working on this guy for nine months and finished him just in time to have him arrive at his destination the day before the season premiere. I'm thrilled with him, Cleo is thrilled with him, and the people she's been showimg him off to on various social media platforms are thrilled with him. Not a bad job, I'd say!

Although I'm not familiar with the show that you're referring to, I love that custom, beautiful details and the darker colour scheme is brilliant :biggrin:
-
Tabby, you did a marvellous job! :O I haven't watched the show either but it's no wonder everyone's thrilled with him. That is a beautifully crafted custom and I have a soft spot for all cervines. I'm in love!
-
Same here I've never watched the show either, but your custom looks really great and is so detailed.

Gorgeous pony! He turned out amazingly well!

Oh that's so cool AND I love the butt!! LoL, the way you did the feathers on it is AWESOME.

I only watched the first few episodes but I LOVE this. I love ravens, I love deer ponies= WIN. Seriously gorgeous work :)
-
Oh wow, that is so beautiful! Even without seeing the show one can appreciate his beauty and concept, well done!
-
Love it, especially the silver detailed feathers, expression and poise. ^.^
I hadn't realised that Hannibal was back, I better hunt it down.

He looks really neat! His expression looks so good on him! And the antlers are so intricate, did you use a wire structure inside them?
I don't know the show at all, but I can appreciate his awesomeness anyway :)
-
Thank you, everyone!
And the antlers are so intricate, did you use a wire structure inside them?
There's a guide wire running up the core of each one, but the points are freestanding (and very fragile; I was on tenterhooks for the entire time he was in the mail). I realized after I posted this that I had intended to include a link to my Livejournal entry of in-progress photos, so here it is now (http://"http://tabbyclaw.livejournal.com/102827.html").
