too bad it's not painted gold. I could make the worst pun ever here.

Yes indeed, it's the box for Fallout 2 because I had it by my PC and he needed a flat surface to stand on. Well spotted!

Do tell, horrible puns are always entertaining!

Here he is with his base colours painted, I've still to do details like his eyes and the patterns on his jacket. Then he gets re-haired, then he's done!

He's still kinda creepy though... I think it must be the dead, blank stare.

I'll take 20!

Brilliant work, really can't wait to see the end result!

WarlordX40 · 05/05/2010, 08:07 am

This is truly fanstastic, reminds me of when Guybrush switches bodies with someone with the balnk eyes

a3HeadedMonkey · 05/05/2010, 08:09 am

This work is awesome. It's been said, but I can't wait to see the end result.

purple_monkfish · 05/05/2010, 12:08 pm

that pony is gonna look so freaking awesome when it's done.. I can't wait!

Everlast · 05/05/2010, 12:56 pm

Lookin good pony. Your test as a pirate is coming to an end! nice crossover!!!

*Irishmile* · 05/05/2010, 01:43 pm

I love the WIP approach.... I like seeing what goes into stuff.. Often when you just share the end result people can not appreciate the amount of work goes into things.

Thanks for all the comments guys! It's good to know that other people find this concept entertaining instead of/as well as disturbing.

Painting is more or less done, he finally has eyes again!

Now, it has been suggested to me that I should blend the blonde hair/feathering on his hooves in with the skintone more so there's not such an abrupt jump between skin and hair. But it's also been suggested to me that I should leave it the way it is. What do you guys think? Here's a closeup:

Next up is the rehairing!

GinnyN · 05/05/2010, 04:19 pm

Rehairing!

Alcoremortis · 05/05/2010, 04:35 pm

This is really awesome. I wish I had artistic abilities like that...so cool...

Avistew · 05/05/2010, 04:40 pm

I found the skintone on the legs distracting, honestly, I think it might even look better if there isn't any at all.
On the other hand, if you leave it, I think it's fine as it is.

Also, it looks wonderful. I love it. The eyes and various details really bring it all together (it already looked great before, but now it looks better than great).
Can't want to see it with hair on.

prizna · 05/05/2010, 06:56 pm

This is looking so good, you're amazing.

**puzzlebox** · 05/05/2010, 09:46 pm

Wow! Great paint job... I'm so impressed with the eyes, they look like originals.

Everlast · 05/05/2010, 10:42 pm

What looks the best for me is the coat. Honestly you have a nice talent there.

I would say blend it. It draws my eye too much down to his feet the way it is now.

Don't you have to take the pony's head off to rehair it? I would have thought you'd do that before finalizing the painting and sculpting, so that the decapitation wouldn't mess up any of your work. (I only know a tiny bit about pony customization, so humor me.)

He looks great so far, I'm really looking forward to seeing the end result!

Jen Kollic · 05/06/2010, 09:50 am

Thanks guys! I'll have a bash at blending the hair on the feet to see if that looks better, if not then I'll use Avistew's suggestion and get rid of the skintone entirely. Re-hairing may take a while, as this'll be the first time I've done it. Apparently it's the worst and most time consuming part of the process, hurrah!

Yes, the head does have to come off for re-hairing, but right now it's detachable. It's already been pulled off, and I pared some of the plastic off the socket so it comes on and off pretty easily. I was worried about damaging the paint when I re-haired him, but the tutorials I looked up all said to re-hair once the painting was done. I mixed a whole pot of the skintone colour so that I could patch it up easily enough if there's any damage. (plus I'm using the same colour for Pony!Elaine)

Jen Kollic · 05/06/2010, 12:49 pm

Improvement on hooves, y/n? (also I've started rehairing!)

*Irishmile* · 05/06/2010, 12:59 pm

I like the hooves better now.... do you need my address so you can send me this in the mail?
