Undead Ophelia
« on: October 28, 2012, 12:02:14 PM »
Since I started customizing, I've made a pony each year for Halloween.  This year's pony is Undead Ophelia.  I love "Hamlet" and recently saw a wonderful production of it; it seemed appropriate to make an Ophelia pony.  Before moving, I had a chance to take pictures of Ophelia by a lovely creek that my former apartment was next to.

Pictures first!

Ophelia started off as a very baity Sparkler with water damage and rust staining.  She was given a patchy full-body paintjob (very much inspired by PrincessOfDarkness' zombies) and sealed with Testors Dullcote.  Her display side symbol is a jawless skull (a general homage to "Hamlet") and a bloodied violet (a symbol of faithfulness).  Her other side shows dead daisies (symbols of innocence) and wilting rue.  She was rehaired with a blend of Dollyhair's Hematite, Evil Enchantress, and... a brown that I can't recall right now.  It's a really interesting color in person.

Most of the "mud" on her hooves is painted, but some of it might be authentic. :P  It was rather rainy and muddy when we went to the creek for pictures.

Undead Ophelia has found a home to go haunt! :heart:

Thank you for looking, and happy Halloween!

She's so incredibly stunning. I'm counting coins, but I don't think I find enough... (not with the commission still unpaid). Sigh. I REALLY want her! :(

She really is stunning.  I love that you incorporated flowers from her mad scene in Hamlet. 
The creek was a nice touch as well.  I don't collect dead ponies, but this one really is tempting.
