Evergreen 2004
Design by Chris Custom Work by Aikarin Evergreen was a commissioned
piece made from a
rearing pose Magic Star. This pony was the childhood dream of the
designer. Evergreen is NOT FOR SALE. |

The horn was carefully attached to his head, just under the hairline. Then, he was given a base coat of pure white followed by a coat of vivid medium green. The coat is surprisingly smooth and actually has an awesome matte finish...any shiny parts are due to the bright lighting I used for the photographs. |

Evergreen's wild hair is made of
many different shades of green. I originally planned on using saran
hair only, but it's very "limp", making it difficult to achieve
a "punk" hairstyle. So, I used donor hair blended with
saran hair. Pretty nifty! <-- click on the pic for an enlarged view. |

Evergreen's hair is cut in a wild, ragged fashion, with the non-display side just a tad shorter than the display side. As requested by his designer, the longest part is 50 centimeters in length! |
 |
Eyes have a
color swirl. He has an extra reflective
diamond-shaped "gleam" in his eye - in green, of
course!
I really liked the way they turned out...hmmmmm. |
 Smile, Evergreen! |

Evergreen's punk style hair required re-rooting of many extra plugs of hair in the forelock area and the back of his head. I re-rooted the colors in small groups of plugs. Rearing pose ponies have fewer plugs for hair than regular ponies. Adding extra plugs made the mane appear thicker. |

The symbol is a lake surrounded by trees. He also has a leaf on the front left hoof. The symbol didn't stand out well against the background, so I carefully outlined most of the parts in dark green or blue-green. Look closely, even the tree trunks have knots in them! |
|
|
He's a warm medium green color, leaning more toward olive and not teal. May look a little different on your monitor or the lighting I used! ^_^ |

Another unfinished picture. |

Here is a
