Description

Soooo.... I've always wanted to make a zebra pony, but I was always daunted by the idea because lets face it, :iconjupiternwndrlnd: 's zebra ponies are AWESOME :)
Then I was looking through devart one day and stumble across this piece [link] which I was incredibly inspired by:
and after asking :icondiznee4me: , I made Zebby.

I had to change a few things (like the tail fin) to suit MLP, and the stripe pattern just kinda evolved as I was painting them. I also adapted the eyes by giving them a bit more colour :)

Firstly she was sculpted and then sanded to give her that full smooth body finish (which is something which I am very proud of) and then she was airbrushed a bajillion times in white. The stripes... made me cross eyed and frustrated. It took me almost 2 full seasons of Buffy DVDs before they were finished - each stripe has at least 3 coats of black ;)

Sculpting was done with Magic Sculpt and she was sealed with dullcote, her eyes have been glossed.
