This swap was beyond amazing. I failed so much with the deadline and I really was lucky to have the lovely Colorscapesart (and swap host) as a partner. She was so very patient...
This pony... it was a challenge.
My first dragon. I wanted real batwings. With flexible material. And I wanted to do a mix between faerie-dragon and real fierce dragon.
I made a wire-skeleton for wings and tail, fixed it in place with apoxie. Then I glued pond foil to the wires for the wings. (It's thick, durable, flexible and takes paint very well. But it's enemies with glue. Just didn't stick. GRR) So I sew it to the wires! (I can't sew at all btw)
After that I sculpted everything else and put short wires in the scales where the faeriewings should be as placeholders.
Painted, broke the tail, resculpted, repainted, broke the tail, resculpted, repainted, sealed, glossed, rehaired.
And then I made 35 little fantasyfilm wings.
Then I made 3 more because I burned some.
And then... she was done... it took just 3 or 4 months...
My most complicated and most elaborate custom ever (well, Bastet was a close runner-up).
I'm so proud and Colorscapesart likes her too. YAY! Phew!
