Custom Pony Ixion

[firebyrd]

Found pictures of the ponies I never posted before, so got them edited and up on my website. I'll be breaking them up into different posts since lots of the pictures are big.

I've started plenty of ambitious projects. Some I've finished, some are floating around my house waiting to convince the unwary that I'm a pony serial killer. Of those that have been completed, though, Ixion is my favorite by far. Like Shiva, he was inspired by an Aeon from Final Fantasy X. How could I not make an electric zebra unicorn custom? He started out as some pink G1, but was dramatically altered with Apoxie Sculpt. His hair was a specialty yarn I got off Etsy. He was initially airbrushed black with his stripes added by hand. His hair bands were cut from real bronze before being painted. He was a huge effort but was well worth it.
