Accidental accessorizing (Or, cleverly-improvised solutions to stupid problems)

[Tabbyclaw]

So I'm playing the "every pony I make is a little more ambitious than my last one" game again. This one involves antlers, facial reshaping, sculpted feathers, and possibly real feathers if I can make them look right. And because my common sense doesn't always come along for the ride when my ambition takes the wheel, right now my ravenstag pony has some sculpting on his feet, a 12-point rack of antlers, an enlarged brow and muzzle, most of a thick ruff around his neck and chest, and... nothing on his back end. Yeah, he falls over if I breathe on him wrong and I've broken one point already.  He'll be better balanced once I start feathering up his tail and hocks, but I needed an interim solution. So I went digging through my scrap supplies from old customs and came up with some black tulle and ribbon, and a handful of glass stones from a board game. All the most fashionable ponies are wearing fanny packs these days, right?

It works, but I have to keep my Rarity mini-army from seeing him lest they faint en masse.

Lol!  I love the creativity!  (I had put sculpt pennies onto the feet of a few customs to keep them balanced.) Your work is paying off, he is stunning! 

[StrawberryMeadow]

funny!  And he's looking stunning.

He looks absolutely amazing!

awesome so far. love the solution
if you need a permanent solution, I suggest stuffing the back legs with more clay  - I've done that before

[Eluluu]

he does look great! I was about to suggest the clay stuffing as well. super feathery hind legs would make him look so majestic!
