Description

---CATBUS IS SOLD---

One custom of a set of 7 Totoro customs.

Engineered pose; body of a core 7 clone pose, head of a donkey pose. Both generation 3 poses.
Boiled the body of the pony to soften the rubber, to make the rubber safer for carving the windows.
Carved the windows of the bus with a exacto knife. First time painting the inside of a pony, let me tell you. Painted the inside of the 'catbus pony' black, and gave it a leather interior with white and beige authentic leather. Painted lines on the seats with charcoal-colored acrylics. Mouse inside the bus is Littlest Pet Shop mouse that I've probably had since I was 9 years old. Glued a magenta pearl rhinestone on the mouse's collar, Krazy-glued the mouse in place.
Windows lined in black hemp.

Full body repaint in maple sugar tan acrylics, then a burnt brown pigment over top. Eyes and face are also textured/painted with acrylics. Krazy-glued two severed pony legs to the pony body, also painted them like rest of body.
Teeth in the mouth are white leather detailed in acrylics, Krazy-glued in place.
Light brown fur texture throughout body is inverted genuine leather, suede-side-out. Tail is also leather.
Collar is orange hemp with red leather plate with "Next Stop, Little Sister" hand-painted in black acrylics in reference to the movie.
Nose is also red leather. All leather on head is lined with brown hemp.
Whiskers are black medium-gage wire anchored inside the pony cheeks.

The four mice for the "head and tail" lights are oval-shaped pearl rhinestones painted in gray acrylics. Ears are a plastic clear decal also painted, eyes and noses are rhinstones. Tails are beige hemp. Glued to pony via Krazy glue, dealed in mod podge.

i want you to know you are still one of my most fav custom makers and I'm so jealous of your skill. i think you may have gotten 200% better in the last two years, in fact... i might have to buy myself something nice and set it next to My GraveunicornPony you made me.
