Finally this guy is done >.< And the file is HUGE! So please be patient if you download the original size one! (wich I recommend to look at the details)

Thanks to :icongraveunicorn: for her patience :glomp:

Grave Unicorn is her pony persona, you can read all about him here:

About the custom, well, he started as a she, as most of the custom ponies out there, I still believe that the pony I used for him was 100 worst than what he looks like right now... I don\'t even remember the original name, but it was one of those 3D symbol ponies (blue with a little darker blue on the hair, I think >.<;)

I sculpted everything that you see out of place here, the skin falling apart, the ribs showing, all the bones, teeth and of course, the horn was pure apoxie sculpt work.

The painting job was my favorite, Playing with 3 differerent shades of blue including cobalt, sky and pastel blue and some lilac, ocre, light yellow and for our beloved blood, pure red and black with some hints of terracota. I think that, until now, he\'s the pony that has used most color combinations on my herd ^^

If you saw the preview, you\'ll see that now he looks brighter. I sealed him with matte sealant and for the eyes, the blood and the hoofs I used glossy sealant wich gave him the perfect look that I wanted him to have.

I have to ask for forgiveness, because suddenly my camera started to show an E 91:01 and the flash stopped working, so I had to light the photos a little bit with photoshop. There are more hints of color than what he looks like and somehow his colors are a little bit softer than shown here... Although the face looks almost like the real one ^^

You also can see that the horn has some strange stuff on the tip. According to :icongraveunicorn: description on the character sheet: \"Broken horn bleeds and oozes magic constantly when fighting or excited\" I can\'t combine color with this gloss, that\'s why it looks more like \"magic ooze\" than like blood, but I made sure to give a hint of red on the horn ^^

The hair was another mix of straight blue hair and curled (previously braided) lilac hair. I let it stay long because I want her owner to decide if I should cut it or let it be like that. I still want to add some weird stuff to the hair, but it depends if his hair will be brushed or not :p I want to add blood splats on it and seal it with glossy sealant, but it won\'t be able to be brushed so easily anymore ^^

Ahhh I got so excited! I\'m glad he\'s done! He was so near completition but the awfuly hot weather here always made me work at night (from 10pm to 6am) and that light is no good when painting details.

Well, there you have it ^^ A new custom from me! I want to upload individual pics of him, but i took more than 30 photos and I still need to decide wich ones to use, if you want to see an specific shot, let me know ^^

Her owner has been offline for a week, so I hope she doesn\'t mind that I post him ^^ If there\'s a change, I\'ll update this :D

Thanks a lot for looking!

Thank you so much for your lovely words! :hug: It's the first time I do something gore (the other creepy ponies I've made were one death pony and one siamese twins pair)... but nothing with blood and stuff coming out! <.< I'm so happy that you like him!
