I've started plenty of ambitious projects. Some I've finished, some are floating around my house waiting to convince the unwary that I'm a pony serial killer. Of those that have been completed, though, Ixion is my favorite by far. Like Shiva, he was inspired by an Aeon from Final Fantasy X. How could I not make an electric zebra unicorn custom? He started out as some pink G1, but was dramatically altered with Apoxie Sculpt. His hair was a specialty yarn I got off Etsy. He was initially airbrushed black with his stripes added by hand. His hair bands were cut from real bronze before being painted. He was a huge effort but was well worth it.
