Haku is the most perfect, beautiful and amazing pony custom I have ever seen. You are my favourite, but you already knew that.

You also already know all my nice words 'cause I told you them all. (There were a lot of them, people). You also know my bad words, like how I threatened you to give him to me, and also how I threatened to find out where Tsuki lived to steal/intercept the post. (May or may not be true, let's say it's not for legality's sake).

*goes back to stare at the pics some more*

People are being very kind 

Thank you guys. I knew I had to tackle doing wings at some point (these are my first), So I'm glad it's been well-received! (But because I over-worry, I knew I didn't want to make "oh look, another pony with wings" custom, because NoD said she didn't have a huge amount of space to display ponies, and now at least she can just.... take them off? I dunno....)

 

Soooooooooooo Many pics in spoilers below <3

No D specified Day of the Dead ponies, skulls and Ravens, and because I can never pick one thing I picked those things. Originally the mask was supposed to be all black gems but they didn't arrive on time, so it's just a raven face :p

I made a Day of the Dead pony, with a painted face and then I used pastels for her shading. I found some gorgeous artwork/ face paint with pink and red round the eyes and I knew I had to try and emanate that. This meant I didn't go for the traditional flowery eye socket, because I felt that would be too cluttered.

I kept to a simple colour palette, and matched it up with some dip-dyed hair which is very subtly peach to orange.

Because I'm silly, I decided to do black on black for her main body. Yep. Black. on Black. So her body is matte, and then up her forelegs she has a flock of ravens painted in deep black and blue and green 2-tone pearl ex pigments mixed with gloss. She also has a single feather painted on her back NDS leg in the same mixture, both for the ravens and because NoD has a beautiful persona with a feather.

Her cutie mark is a black raven standing on a skull, which is quite an iconic thing with Ravens and Skulls. I had wanted to try and include a pony skull but skills> me so I went with human instead. Again this raven has highlights of the sparkle mix.

I made this girl a mourning veil hairclip, out of black lace, beads and and some fabric flowers I had in my box of stuff, and I embellished with Swarovski's because...BLING. This gives her that pretty DotD look. It's just a normal hairclip so I suppose it could be used on anything.

Then, I decided she needed a Halloween outfit. Because spooky ponies need to dress up too! So I made her a raven outfit! She has a raven mask which has a magnet in the beak (I'll be honest it's a little clunky but it's okay) which joins to a magnet inside her face (lol). (Thanks to Roogna for the heads up about using pony hoof magnets - genius)
And she has a set of spread forward wings which just balance on her back. They're both lined with craft foam to try to prevent paint damage with removal. They are made from Steel armature, 2 part epoxy clay and Sculpey/Super Sculpey 50/50 blend. They're painted black, then drybrushed highlights and accented with more of the blue and green iridescent sparkle on the feathers near the body, to mimic that beautiful shine the crow family have on their black feathers. I tried to do "real" bird feathers but I'm going to need a bajillion years more practice!

So there you go.

All the words.

You're insanely talented. Wow! Hurry up and get feedback so I can get paired with you in a swap!  (or not seeing as I'm not sending swap ponies to the US ever again after the latest fiasco  )

But really, beautiful ponies <3

I'l be wearing many things this weekend, but Tonight I'll most likely be at the bar, in a skater dress covered in Strawberries. Hopefully it will help people recognise me!
