Pyramid Head Pony

I'd seen custom ponies around online and thought I'd give it a bash, I first had to find some ponies and managed to hunt some down on eBay, I've since then had a batch sent by a friend.
I first started with a Reno Pony.
.....then for some unknown reason made a Pyramid Head Pony.


These are great fun to make, I striped one down gave a whitewash of paint, poked in some chains and then got out some polymer clay I'd bought for making charms out of.
Polymer clay is loads of fun, it's easy to use and doesn't make any mess at all, it also is baked in an oven so no kiln needed!


It's also very nice to paint on, I tried to create a textured effect with this and used a sponging technique that's worked really well


The pyramid part is made with bits of card and then painted to look like metal.

This pony is on sale at the moment here

Work in progress.

I've decided that I would like a little place where I can post stages of art that I'm working on.

Check out the links on the side there to see my art archives.

There are a couple of things I'm working on at the moment.
I want to colour this sketch and do pretty much the same as I did with this one.

I also want to fix some details on this picture here, especially the hands, they need redoing.


Another little project I have at the moment is these custom ponies, the unfinished on I plan to sell when it is finished.
