going one better (with pictures!)

[iridium]

a very quick note -- the weekend was very full, and i will hopefully have time to write down more of the goings-on and stories, but one bit of it was sitting down in the living room with tyratae and other-people-whose-ljnames-i-don't-know-yet and re-making Matilda's dashboard hula girl into...a goth dashboard hula girl.

words do not do justice, so here instead is a photograph:



zombie goth dashboard hula girl!


detail of face-decoration and ankh tattoo:



for comparison, this is roughly what the hula-girl looked like before redecoration:

Maybe I should make a bunch of them and sell them on senior-house... "Limited Edition Sport Death My Little Pony! Featuring hand-dyed hair, demonic red eyes, and laboriously-painted skin! Get yours while supplies last!"

[I actually made a 15 foot tall version about a year and a half ago during Rush - it had wheels, and one could actually sit inside, making it more of a Trojan Pony. Sadly, there wasn't really anyplace to keep it, and it's long since gone.]

...damn. that kicks ass.
are there pictures?

Depressingly, I have no photos of the finished pony, or even the mostly-finished pony. These two are pictures of it being built [I think I'm fixing the head height in the second one.] However, fratboys stole it and broke it before we'd completely finished it - see here. As you can tell, we hadn't finished the mane and tail. We'd finished everything else though, and I can assure you that there weren't random broken 2x6s poking out. Nor were there big dents, or a missing ear.

*nod* i got the other photos of the finished pony. pretty damn cool. i'm impressed.

...and looking forward to my miniature one. *grin*

sport death My Little Ponies. Want one?

hell yeah. :)
if you send it to me down in Mississippi (between now and 4/16 or so), i'll put it on the dashboard with the hula girl.

Send me the address, man. I'm sure I'll have a free evening in the next month and a half to dedicate to such a worthy cause.

done. looking forward to it. my grandparents may be a bit skeptical, but i'm sure they can deal. :)
