Gambit Pony, WIP// EDIT: Complete!

ETA: I completed him! Here's a link to the thread on MLP Arena where I show him off!

I told you I had the Cajun in progress!



I made his costume in layers -- even though a lot of this layer is going to be covered by his trenchcoat, I wanted to have it underneath (especially the collar and boots) to give a bit of weight and realism to the look. I mixed a little bit of Black into my Silver Sculpey to make his collar and the trim, and his boots. (The larger part of the collar has blue-black lines like the cartoon version, and a bluish finish.) His headpiece and gloves are blue-black with a bit of Satin Varnish mixed in to shine. The top of the bodysuit and the stripes on the legs are a mix of red and magenta paint.

Gambit's hair is Chocolate, with a few 'strands' of blended Chocolate-and-Black. Most of the reference pictures showed him with his hair sticking up or "poofier" on the right side, so I used longer 'locks' on the right side. My Gambit doesn't have that sissy-ass long hair, no sir.

He also has a six-inch fighting staff -- a piece of wire with Sculpey rolled around it. (In contrast, the pony itself is about three, four inches tall. I figured it fit.) I'm definitely going to make a few playing cards as accessories also. Not sure if I want a cigarette hanging out of his mouth or just a pack of cigs in one pocket of his trenchcoat. My Gambit also smokes, dammit.

(If I ever cave and make a Wolverine, he's coming with a cigar, too. Screw this no-smoking policy Marvel has nowadays.)
