UPDATED June 8, 2009. New photos of the finished photoshoot at the bottom of the first post!
Under the bit of poking from Poniesyeah ( X3 ), I've decided to start a thread here showing my work in progress, from start to finish, of my New Jersey Devil custom.
For those of you not familiar with the New Jersey Devil, check out the article here on Weird NJ's website.
I first came up with the idea from KarRedRoses NJ Devil custom contest for the 2008 NJ Pony Meet. There was NO WAY in heck I was going to be able to even START work on the custom before the meet, so I figured I would make it something I could work on in my own time, when I'm not at the store or working on commission orders.

( EDIT 7 )
HE IS FINISHED!!!
The Jersey Devil started life as, I BELIEVE, a G3 My Little Pony Fizzy Pop.
His pose has been altered from FP's original pose, head lowered and stance widened.
Sculpey was used for shoulder, hind hooves, and neck support, with tinfoil for re-posing his head.
The rest is Apoxie Sculpt, with a thick wire hanger skeleton and wire mess for wing support, floral wire wrapped around itself thrice for the tail skeleton, and coated paper clips for horn support.
Teeth were sculpted using a translucent Sculpey.
Body was completely painted over with acrylic paints, and sealed with a matte varnish. Eyes, claws, horns, mouth and teeth were sealed with an glossy sealer.
He will be on display at AnimeNEXT 2009, in either the art show or at my table in artist alley ( I'm in the hallway ).
He will also be on display in the art show at the Sussex County Farm and Horse Show / New Jersey State Fair.
