fffffffffffffffffff................his wings made me curse up a storm.

HOW HE WAS MADE:
pony base- Styling Star Catcher.
Styling Star Catcher is a ginormous jumbo pony. For size reference, I threw in my old Yuna custom pony (made back in 2005) in one of the shots.

As far as design goes, I winged it. I looked at a reference, but he just wasn't pony-able. :~/ So I kind of improvised and used my own judgment of what kinds of pieces he should have, and whatnot....

So I started with a full body repaint. A base layer of pthalo blue, and a few coats of metallic paint. Two boxes of clay later, he's sculpted! I started with his hind-end, and let that section dry out. Then the next day I worked on the front end/head sculptings, and let that dry out. After he was a solid hunk of sculpted pony, I attacked his wings and let them dry out while I painted his body sculptings.
I didn't use any designs or cut-outs for anything...(not that I ever do...) so I pretty much guessed on the sizes of everything....

He took about 6 days to make, methinks. I'm just happy he's not a leaning pile of epic failure....the fact that he's sturdy at all leaves me with a feeling of relief. XD (He's very sturdy indeed...he's already survived a car ride. )

Hooray for experimental challenges!
