Pink Lightning Chocobo Pony

Commissioned request of…. Lightning Ferron from the Play Station 3 video game Final Fantasy XIII, to be designed…. As… a pink chocobo. As a custom pony figure.

This is a bit of a paradox, I’ll tell you. I typically do Lightning custom ponies, and chocobo ponies, but… a Lightning Chocobo Pony? It now exists~ among the other Lightning Ferron ponies I’ve done, and chocobos as well. XD

Requested pony base used is a Princess Twilight Sparkle alicorn base.

Cut off the horn and stashed it away for future projects, then cut the wings off and re-positioned them downward for a more accurate and flattering dynamic for the chocobo/pony transformation.

Did a base coat of Gesso to prime the pony plastic for the acrylics to adhere to.
Body paint is done in candy tuft pink acrylics, hooves painted the color of chocobo talons, beak painted in light browns, yellows, oranges and gold acrylics.

Eyes, for the whites, iris and pupils I kept Hasbro-style but painted over them in my methods, and in Lightning’s eye color. Then I layered a texture for the lashes that is of my own realism style. Wanted to keep this cutsie for the chocobo concept, yet alluring and elegant since it’s Lightning.

All paint work is sealed in Artists Varnish.

Glued flaming pink and candy tuft pink dyed feathers in the tail/mane.

Necklace was requested to be of Lightning’s necklace from ffXIII.
Cut strips of silver leather and glued it to a nickel gray ribbon. Got out blue and bronze-colored square rhinestones and a magenta pearl rhinestone for the colored details. Gray ribbon is then glued around a gold chain that is fastened around the neck.

Signed the piece on bottom of hooves, and under one of the wings~
Signatures sealed in Tacky Glue.
