Twisted Fairy Tale - The Frozen Little Match Girl for Phylliebean

[coinoperatedgirl]

Phylliebean's questionnaire said that she preferred a sad/surreal twist rather than a scary/gory/bloody custom, and as a HUGE fan of the non-Disney-fied original fairy tales, I had to choose the Little Match Girl over her other suggestions.  I decided to do the Little Match Girl, her frozen remains covered with frost, her eyes iced over.  She was sent off with a fleece cloak (fat lot of good that did to keep her alive!), and a base, which I completely forgot to get a picture of.  Her hair was done with a mix of DH's Hyacinth and Water Nixie, and RDUS's Dewdrop. 

Her body was an absolute pain to do.  I forget what she started as.  This is the second body, since the first attempt was destroyed in a fit of anger after 4 layers of paint were ruined by a stray blob of bright red that flew out of my freshly cleaned airbrush.  She's got several layers of pearly blues and a very faint gradient of purple that shows up as blue in most pictures

That cutie mark almost resulted in this pony getting tossed as well - I was airbrushing the flames using a bit of an improvised stencil, and she got a bunch of overspray on her.  I was able to salvage her though!

Ooooh, so serene and sad!    I LOVE her eyes! They say it all so well!

Her eyes are my favorite part as well - she manages to look so serene and peaceful and sad all at once.

Awww, she's amazing. Definitely more haunting that gory, which is really awesome.
