Now for my slew of customs produced throughout the month of November.

First off, I'll kick this off with a for sale custom that's no longer available-- Sheik from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Nintendo 64 video game.

Pony base is a custom engineered pose from two different generation 3 My Little Ponies.

Full body repaint job in acrylics. Hand-blended pale flesh tone on the head and front hooves, eyes painted/textured in my realism/fusion anime style.

Body painted in various blue pigments. Base layer is a medium dark matte blue, with metallic blue over top, with a over-glaze of non-opaque pthalo blue.

Metallic black for the black portions, lined with white hemp cording.

Mane and tail are re-rooted in dollyhair’s nylon mlp hair in the colors passion fruit and golden delicious. Some recycled hair from other generation 3 ponies is tossed in as well.

Front legs have white bias tape with gray ribbon wrapped around. Shoulders have purple leather lined with white hemp cord. Chest, neck and mouth draperies are tattered pale gray genuine leather (rough side). Chest emblem is light blue bias tape with red acrylic paint for the Eye of Truth.

White bias tape glued over gray leather for the hat.

Cutie mark is a 3-D symbol of the Triforce cut from leather, and painted with blue and gold acrylic pigments. Small orange and purple rhinestones border its edges.

Harp is crafted from two layered of thick leather, painted gold with cut pieces of floral wire glued inbetween the leather layers, wrapped with tiny thin white ribbon at the bottom.

All hemp and acrylic detailing on leather sealed with mod podge~

Next, a commissioned request to revamp a old creation of mine from 2009-- Seraphim Sephiroth as seen in the Play Station video game Final Fantasy VII.

Mane & tail replaced with Saran Restoredoll hair in the colors silver and gray, Dollyhair’s nylon mlp hair in the color Blueberry muffin, and white nylon mlp hair in the colors white witch and virgin snow (recycled from the first version of this custom).

Bangs permanently styled/hardened in my hair gel method.

Halo replaced with double-layered leather strips glued together (circles sewn together), and painted with various tones of gold acrylic paints. Yellow plastic rhinestones finish off at the middle.

All paint is redone all over the torso and heads sections, and eyes refined/touched up.

Cloud detailing: Originally had cotton balls as the clouds around Sephiroth’s body. I tore off the cotton balls and threw them away, then hand-sewed some nice new stiff white nylon material I purchased at Fabric Depot.

I synched pleats and turned the pieces inside-out so they’d puff up and look like clouds.

Finished the entire design off with various chain embellishments.

This job was requested to have a baby pony customized to look like a pet devil for Sephiroth.

Pony base is a generation 3 McDonald’s My Little Pony.

I carved off the original hard tail off the pony, and spent a couple hours smoothing out the rough plastic.

Painted the entire body in acrylic paints, horns are red bone beads, mane is golden spikes sewn to a strip of red leather.

Tail is hand-sewn black leather.

Original construction from 2009:

I designed a contraption out of wire that kind of resembles a "egg beater", made four of them, sewed white cotton fabric around them and glued white feathers to them, then attached them to each of his legs. He's very sturdy, and stands on his own.

Seraph Sephiroth is made of 3 ponies. I had to use a legless body from one, a one-legged torso from one of the "ugly" poses, and a head from a pose with a straight-forward head.

Wings are heavy duty wire with white cotton fabric sewn around them. Strategically layered purple, blue, green and yellow pieces of dyed feathers.

Black wing & torso: I used Dry Hard Air Dry Clay to sculp parts of the torso that connects to the dark wing, and sculpting is constructed across Sephiroth’s back.

Balck and red wings were fused into the clay on the torso, then a round bead put into the clay. The bead was then painted silver, then the clay painted fleshy reds then blended into his main flesh tone.

Next, Tribal Warrior original design creation --no longer available--

Original design of a Native tribal warrior as a custom My Little Pony.

Pose is engineered from two different generation 3 My Little Ponies.

Full body repaint job in burnt brown acrylics, tribal designs throughout in brown, red, mustard yellow and pale orange.

Eyes hand-painted in acrylics.

Mane & tail are re-rooted in RetrodollUS’s Mahogany saran, and Restoredoll’s saran Deep Cherry (brown and black mixture).

Outfit is hand-sewn in layered materials. Various aqua/cream lace, crushed pinkish beige velvet for the shoes and tank top, layered with various braided materials, hemp cording, textiles, and beads strung on floral wire.

Next, the Tribal Warrior's companion, Fawna the Forest Spirit. (click following link for sale and craft info)

Lastly, a replacement custom for a old commissioned request from around 2010 by Kalavista.
generation_4_galaxy_themed_request_for_kalavista_by_lightningsilver_mana-d6wi2xo.jpg

G4 Galaxy theme

This is a remake of a old commission for Kalavista that I did back in 2011.

She requested a white pony with dark galaxies painted all over it with a blend of dark and frosty hair.

That commission got damaged in storage so I’ve offered to rebuild it so I still have a galaxy design floating around out and about in the world somewhere, somehow.

I was just proud that I was able to pull of that kind of paint job, at all x____x

Galaxy image references were pulled up from Google. Went off of those the best I could, the rest of it was building/layering textures of pigments from my own skills and knowledge.

All painting is done in acrylic paints.

Mane and tail are re-rooted in Restoredoll’s saran Katsilk hair in the colors teal and black orchid. Dollyhair’s nylon My Little Pony hair in the color bougainvillea, and DH’s saran Barbie hair in the colors mint ice and foxglove lavender.

Thanks for looking~
 
They are all wonderful. My favorites are Sephiroth - you've captured the character - and G4 Galaxy. The paint is so intricate, she's breathtaking. :)
 
Very nice customs :clap::squid:
