Zahirah - 2008

Custom by Aikarin

Zahirah is a purplish-pink pony who loves belly dancing! She was made from a coy pose 3rd generation pony. Base color is original.

The dangling silver-tone parts were wired in place, then the saddle was sculpted on top in several steps. The whole thing was given multiple layers of paint and glitter and varnish for extra sparkle!

Zahirah's hair is magenta, lavender, dark grayish purple (yes! I found a use for the hematite colored hair!), and bright pink. It is 100% nylon hair and it was curled after re-rooting, teased apart, then clipped up so you can see her saddle. No hairspray was used...it's all natural! ^_^

In this picture, you can see her swirly forehead symbol, which was painted freehand, so there are some slight variations.


Some selected highlights of this pony. The first is a non-display saddle shot (and the only one with an up-close view). The second is her DS eye. Notice the lashes are dark purple and NOT black! The third picture is her hoof mark, actually on the NDS side because that's where the magnet is. The pink areas are glittery. And another picture of her saddle, showing the dangling parts. Yes, they do sway when the pony is moved.

Zahirah's saddle features a very special marbled paint job in silver, pearl, black, and purple. Contrasting areas were sculpted on, then painted in silver, purple and pink glitters.

Saddle is made from two-part epoxy, so it is firmly stuck onto the pony's body.

Zahirah's hoof mark is visible in this non-display shot. Here, you can see the clip which holds her hair up. If you look closely, you can see tiny rhinestones in the pink areas of the saddle.

Zahirah's eyeshadow is a purple/silver pearl gradient. Her eyes were painted in a modified sunburst iris pattern with little hints of gold.

Zahirah is a CUSTOM PONY, not affiliated with Hasbro, and this design will not be repeated.
She is signed and dated under one hoof.
