Sunneh's Muse - A PonyIsland Commission

[Puzzle]

I've been a little AWOL from the Arena due to some IRL and book issues. But another big reason for my vanishing due to my very first commission for the PI MOD, Sunneh, of her DVS Muse - a mountain pony with two pairs of wings.

This was a great experience, especially as I gave me a chance to sculpt such elaborate wings for the first time. And Muse is such a gorgeous pony to have as inspiration!

Pictures first, then all the boring stuff!

Muse started life as a really gross, sticky, grimy Winterberry. She had two sets of plastic resin wings hand sculpted (each individual feather is handmade (and detailed) from the resin) which were then detailed with Mungyo chalk pastels in red-white and orange.

She was given a FBR (she was very nearly grey as a bait!) in Jo Ann Ivory, her eyes are Jo Ann Periwinkle and Jo Ann Black (as are her freckles). She was sealed with Mr. Colour Clear Matte spray sealant, with Jo Ann clear sealant over her eyes.

Muse was rehaired with Dollyhair in Black Magick, Mango Tango and Old Bubblegum.

I know everyone claims this but, honestly, the photos don't do her colours justice, In person she really pops.

I hope you guys like her as much as Sunneh and I do!

[Katai]

Good LORD...

[Eshkenazi]

She looks so gorgeous. OwO  The wings turned out absolutely beautiful.  I'm really glad you chose to go in and darken the colors because they look so amazing now. =3

I love her so much.<3

[Izrabeth]

Ah! Now I understood! Looking at reference pic: she's multi winged!
Beautiful!!! How did you manage to give her 4 wings?

Thank you guys <3

Esh - I am too. I was a little worried the red might end up making her feathers too reddish (especially compared to the hair) but it definitely paid off. And with that hair, it really works. Also, thank you so much for all the help and advice with the wings <3

Izrabeth - Yes she is! Tricky ponies, these mountain ones. As to how I made the four wings with a wire and resin base, then built up carefully from there...like this:

Pffft. That is awesome. And now I regret never poking into the Artwork forum over there

First, that's like the best pose ever for a Mountie. Second, those wings are incredible! Plastic resin? Brilliant! The colors are gorgeous and you did an excellent job matching her hair color. Great work all around

[Catlein]

WOW... the wings are blowing me away!

[Roogna]

those resin wings are fabulous

[pop-girl]

Amazing! I don't think I've ever seen feathered wings done with plastic resin.
The wings are fantastic and the pastels give each feather so much depth.
You did a fab job!

[Griffin]

Wow, that's an impressive set of wings! You did a fantastic job of bringing that gorgeous design into life, I love her colours so much! ^^

[Tyrsalc]

That turned out wonderfully hun. Such a perfect pose for a Mountain pony too.

[rtattles]

OMG I love the wings, now we need Hasbro to make a new breed of Seraphim ponies!!!
