The Crow Queen – Masquerade Swap Pony for JPP

[puuush]

FINALLY!
I was so very lagging behind. My dearest apologies to Saja, the swap holder, the mods who must have been eyeing me with disgust and, above all, my poor partner JPP. SOOOORRY!

But I hope I could make up a bit for the cruel delay.

Say hello to "The Crow Queen" at the Masquerade Ball.


HER STORY:
Of course this is not the REAL Crow Queen, but lovely Lapislazuli dressed up as her for the masquerade ball as she loved the dark tale of the Crow Queen when she was a kid.

The legend tells that the Crow Queen lived thousands of years ago. She was a very beautiful mare that was gentle and kind and deeply in love with a white Peacock Prince. For a while all seemed good, but he was vain and narcissistic and loved to be admired. He betrayed her with other girls and when she found out her life shattered to pieces. In her rage all the good in her heart shrivelled to blackness. She made a pact with the devil and got dark powers from him to find her prince and to make him pay.
She razed whole cities in search for him. But when she found him, she realized that his betrayal corrupted his heart too and he wasn't the white peacock she once loved so much. Instead his coat had turned to a hazy dusk color now. She took his feathers and wore them as her sign of triumph. For him she chose another destiny. She turned him into a crow - now he has to follow and serve her forever all in black.
From that time on she was seldomly seen. Some say she died. Some say she still lives high up in the mountains and some say that she will offer dark pacts to the betrayed.

As I said, Lapislazuli was impressed by the story and chose the Crow Queen to be the theme of her costume. Only Lapis' flutterwings seem not to fit but she doesn't care much. It's a masquerade after all – and therefor FUN!


Hope you all like my little story and of course my custom.
Sculpted with Apoxie, painted in acrylics and sealed with ModPodge and Triple Thick. Decorated with crystals. I made the banner from apoxie and the stand is one of the photo-holders with a crocodile-clip that I oversculpted. The bar is a part of one of my paintbrushes and I somewhere got the peacock and the little bells. I found the crow on a fleamarket and it's playmobile.

Hope you like her:
