Blind Samurai

Design #2 of my asian kimono series of customs.

Base is an engineered pose from the pink generation 3 winter exclusive pony with the blue tree for the cutie mark. Head is of the bright blue generation 3 pony that had the 3-D daisy cutie mark.

Full body repaint in a custom blend of pale gray acrylics. Eyes also painted in acrylics layered in realism textures.
Eyes are painted to resemble ice-blue eyes that are hazed over from blindness.

Mane and tail are re-rooted in garnet jewel, cherry pie and recycled pink Hasbro pony hair.

Outfit 100% hand-sewn, detailed in hemp, bias tape, maxi piping and ribbons.

Hair has beads sewn in to it, bangs are styled with my hair gel method.

Sword is a wood dowel I painted in silver and metallic pewter acrylics. Handle is beads wired together, painted in antique acrylics.

The tan-colored accessory is a gourd-jug.
