Hallow - 2008

Custom by Aikarin

Hallow, named for the holiday Halloween and also a play on words for the tree "hollow" in her design.  She was made from a G3 Alphabittle and her base color is a medium pearly yellow.  Her symbol was sculpted entirely freehand over a wire anchor.  It's made of two-part epoxy.  Sculpting was quick, but the painting took forever!

Hallow's tree was painted with many layers of brown, tan, and black to give it more depth.  The whimsical looking hollow hides a tiny snowy owl, also sculpted from scratch without molds.  Painting the owl was a challenge, since it's so tiny.  The owl's feathers are white and grey and the eyes are golden with black outlines.  The tree branches wrap around to the top of her back.

Hallow's eyes are a golden sunburst over a black background.  Her eyeshadow is a sunset gradient of yellow to pearlescent orange.  Lashes are black.
She was re-rooted with a semi-random light/dark/light/dark pattern.  Seven different colors of saran hair make up this design.  Bright orange, muted orange-brown, mocha brown, dark brown, black, golden yellow, pale yellow.  I added extra plugs of hair to the gaps between the original mane colors, so the mane is very thick.  The hair is even more lustrous and beautiful in real life!

Hallow is an older G3 pony, so she does have a hoof magnet.  The magnet hoof is marked with a twisted heart of gold on an orange background.  The heart is outlined with black "thorns".

Hallow is a CUSTOM PONY, not affiliated with Hasbro, and this design will not be repeated.  She is signed and dated under one hoof.  She comes with a yellow brush and ribbon.
