Finished!!!! The long awaited snake tailed pony ^^

The slowest custom on my herd! I swear! I hurted my fingers so many times with him but it was worth it, I'm in love with this man! :D and it's not precisely my boyfriend!

His name is "Coatl" wich in a local language means "snake" hehehe how creative! Anyway... I wanted so much to make a different pony, there are dragons, faeries, merponies, demons, unipegs, even ponies cosplaying as other animals... Coatl was going to be a cute and romantic merpony but I changed my mind on the sculpting moment and I switched his design to a Naga. A half human-half snake creature, in this case half pony ^^

Now with the naga concept, I started the sculpting. It was a long process since a realistic looking sculpture needs detailed observation of the subject, this is my first time looking at snakes and I accept that I didn't got the realistic look, but I like what I came up with ^^ the horns are just for fun ^^ I love ram-like horns and I gave a pair to this guy

The sculpting and painting process was as usual. Sculpting with apoxie sculpt that dries in 15 minutes ¬¬ and acrylics for the painting... this was also my slowest painting process since each scale received a special care mostly bcause of the patterns. The belly is simple but also each one was placed individually to give a better effect.

The hair is my substitute for my anxiety to get Blizzard from Dollyhair... I found some leftovers of braided cream hair and a complete package of bright white. The unbraided cream hair was used to make a very excentric forelock like a long afro and the white shiny hair was to add a little elegance and order to his mane.

The eyes are my pride... I'm trying a new way of making eyes since my style wasn't going anywhere... They're less detailed but I like the effect ^^ That's what matters for me ^^

Sorry sorry for the kilometric explanation ^^ I'm just drooling over him bcause I love how he looks... He's my first and last boy custom since this was the only g1 boy bait I had... So I tried to make something unique and special with him ^^

See you on the weekend to showcase other custom ^^ I'm delayed bcause a red ribbon >.<

I hope I didn't dissapoint you with this simple design >.< it's not a dragon or a more fantastical creature... it's just an egocentric naga >.<

Thanks for reading!!!! :hug::hug:

Simple? :wow: No way, he's so details and I can see that you worked really, really hard on this guy. Your efforts were not in vain and he came out really well. Excellent work. I think you just outdid yourself. :D

I was right! I knew it'd be a naga pony! XD Yay!

And he is beautiful. He's not for sale, is he? I hope not, because I would have to have him but I don't have the money...

>.<

Thank you >.<

Somehow I think that he's simple... isn't him? I've seen several amazingly worked customs and I thought this was a little bit less worked than others, I did suffer a lot while I was making him and I'm really happy that you think that the effort was well worth it ^^

Thank you so much!! ^^ I might be thinking on making him a brother or a sister... we'll see ^^ heheehe

Ohhh you were thinking that it was a Naga!!! You got it!!! You won a cookie!! :cookie:

:dance:

Thank you! ^^ Nope, he's not for sale, I might be doing a female naga soon, but lets see if I have enough money for the apoxie sculpt needed >.< I wish I could have more male baits but well, this was the only one I could put my hands on, so he's that unique for me, he's staying with his mommy unless I really really really need the money ^^

I'm really happy that you like him!!!!! :hug::hug:

He turned out to be a gorgeous custom. The patterning on the hoof is really unique. My naga concept I found out is already being done by someone else, so I'm going to see what else I can come up with. Congrats on an amazing custom.

Thank you DD ^^. I had troubles to make the hoof mark since I remembered that I had this tiny brush after I made the tattoo with a bigger one ¬¬

I hope I didn't make the concept you were going for your custom >.< as Eruna in the MLPArena said, "That's the beauty of the artistic community- so many different takes on the same subject are possible!" hehehe I'm sure any concept you work in will be a breath taking custom!!! :hug::hug:
