Custom pony of Trainer Red with Pikachu~

 

 

Pony base is a custom engineered pose from two different generation 3 ponies~ head from a unicorn, body of a diva pose~

Full body repaint in coral flesh tone acrylics. Eyes painted in my anime/fusion style.

 Mane & tail are re-rooted in nylon Dollyhair in the colors black magick and hematite, then Retrodoll US’s monofiber coal and Restoredoll’s saran blend of black and brown.

Permanently hardened/styled in my hair gel method.

Hat is hand-stitched from authentic red leather. Japanese and music score fabric embellish the inside of it just because I can~

Front white band is wide white silk ribbon with a badge I made white patent vinyl and painted in various green acrylics.

Japanese translation for “Red” is painted on the back of Red’s cap in beige acrylic paint.

Hat is removable~

 Shoes- soles are thick authentic white leather, main body of shoes are inverted white patent vinyl, toes of shoes are the shiny side of the vinyl. Soles lined in white patent vinyl. Red accents are silk ribbon and bias tape, tops lines in white bias tape.

 Pants are hand-stitched from a stiff blue material.

Next piece of outfit crafted is the black undershirt, hand-stitched from a very sheer off-black silk material.

Then the sheer white sleeves stitched from a white scarf material. Then the main body of the red jacket- lined in thin white bias tape at the bottom, then wide white bias tape for the white collar line and the thin bias tape as tabs sticking out the front.

Pockets were hand-stitched, detailed with red silk ribbon and thin white bias tape, then stitched to the main body of the outfit.

A Pokeball emblem crafted from thick leather, then painted appropriately with acrylic paints then attached to the back of the coat and lined with black hemp cording.

 Belt is brown bias tape with black silk ribbon detail and a metal bangle. Stitched 3 Pokeballs onto the belt. Pokeballs are red plastic beads I partically painted white, lined with black hemp cording, rhinestones finishing the detail in the center. 3 more Pokeballs stitched to a chain sewn into one of the jacket pockets.

 

Pikachu- Crafted from a generation 3.5 McDonald’s Rainbow Dash pony. I carefully cut the head off, then boiled the body in hot boiling water on stove top to soften the plastic of the pony so I could easily slice the hard tail off. It was a success, and I got to carve a tail hole as well~

 Full body repaint job in yellow acrylics. Started it off with a layer of Gesso so the paint would stick to the pony, then did several layers of dark yellow paint, then some layers of medium yellow, then daffodil yellow over top.

Stripes, eyes and cheek blush are layered in acrylic paints.

 Cut the original ears off of the pony and crafted ears and tail from authentic leather, glued into place with Tacky glue then painted over in acrylics. Entire creation sealed in Artists Varnish.

pffft oh XD

 

I'm a pony customizer, so that one's a partially completed custom. I strip all of the original hair and paint off of the pony figures, and doing so requires me to hack their heads off until I re-root their manes with new hair~ then the heads get glued back on~

First layer of outfit hand-stitched on the larger custom of this project~ 

 

Lots of people have guessed correctly about the smaller custom being Pikachu~

 

Almost done with this project~
