Thanks to LLBPonyGirl for poking me to finish my clockwork series. I hadn't even considered the fact that I left a mythical equine race out of the picture, let alone two!

A nice sunny pic:

Clockwork Myst was a rather large undertaking (when will I learn?!). She features around 30-40 hours of work. After I prepped the bait I added the TEoD (Twinkle Eye of Doom) that I enjoy putting on these gals. Next came the armature for the tail and the (score!) Barbie mermaid tail I had saved from the trash bin a few months before. I wanted to create a different sort of mermaid scale, one that felt more like metal plates and less like scales. The chains on her tail are somewhat adjustable, they can be longer or shorter as you like. Her drown was a bit tricky, but then I spotted a princess pony medallion that had fallen out of a bait. Insert tons of sculpting. Her hair is Virgin Snow, I had originally planned to have a bun on top and ringlets below, but that didn't work out.

For her tail I researched flamed copper, as I loved the way it tied in all sorts of colors, like Myst's blue. I actually am finishing up my experimental flamed copper pony now. I love the effect!
She is SOLD :)

One more to go...the Earth Clockwork Pony, mwhaha!

Don't forget, the Steampunk Swap is coming to the Arena!! Whoohoo!

How i wish I had an extra $60!!! Man, I don't usually go for steampunk. I like it, it's just so hard to get right, but this girl is so perfect! The tail (I love the fin!!) is so intricate. Gorgeous work.
 
oh my... words are failing me as I have to pick my jaw up off the floor here O-0 = just = W-O-W

a barbie tail ?!! that is great !! = I will definitely be looking forward to the day the bath toys are no longer "needed" (he he)

I WANT THIS STEAMPUNK girl!!

again, just W-O-W
 
wee my fault! :lol: but i am happy to proclaim that because these are really stunning ponys you do and i love the detail put into her; the plated tail is just so realist looking, like if you ran your finger over the edges you'd get cut. and the blue is really nice pop of color because generally all i ever find are browns and golds in steampunk stuff, but i just adore te blue and white on ther that blends so well wit hthe copper and silver. and the TEoD is very epic and awesome ^^

i want a unicorn with a screw horn now for some strange reason...

:reaper: Kat :reaper:

Wow, just wow. The details are amazing. Colors used are fantastic. Really like how the tail turned out, especially with those colors. :D
