FFXIII Lightning Returns Lumina

Commissioned custom pony figure request of Lumina from the Play Station 3 video game Final Fantasy XIII-2 Lightning Returns.

Pony base is a generation 3 baby-sized pony with a base coat of Gesso, then flesh tone acrylics layered over top.

Cutie mark is a design requested by the customer, created by me. I call it a Lightning Rose Cloud. This version of the design is a black/blue/gray theme instead of the original blue/red/pink theme that Lightning custom has.
Eyes are hand-painted in my anime/realism-fusion style.
All paint work I sealed in Artists Varnish.

Mane/tail are re-rooted in Dollyhair’s nylon mlp hair in the colors Marshmallow, Dusty Rose, and Tiramisu. Then Dollyhair’s saran Barbie hair in the colors Sugarless Gum Pink and Fox Glove Lavender. Then RetrodollUS’s saran white hair called Frost Bite, custom-dyed with pink Rit Dye to create a pale pink pigment that is almost glowing lavender.
Hair permanently styled in my hair gel method.

Outfit-
Started with the stockings on hind legs. Took black material, hand-stitched X’s with beige-colored thread. Used shiny black patent vinyl for the shoes, used beige leather for the soles, lined the soles with 2 layers of pale gray leather with thick black leather thread detailing. Lined the stockings with red ribbon for detail.
Finished the accurate detail with the stray wing on Lumina’s foot, used black web trim material and glued it to transparent plastic from pony packaging and pinned it to Lumina’s foot.

Next layer of outfit is the skirt. Started with a sheer black scarf material, stitched black lace trim along the hem, then pleated all of it. Stitched top layer of detail of white bias tape with navy blue stitching, then two strips of red silk ribbon on the x pattern with two smaller white ribbon x’s stitched on then a strip of black bias tape with silver oval hoops stitched in place, then black ribbon stitched through the middle, and black bias tape pieces dangling down both sides.

Front left leg- base layer of a tan material with black lace stitched over top. Black feathers held in place via red ribbon with white hemp cord x’s detailing, blue feathers along the bottom of the piece lined with black ribbon.
Used two strips of black leather lace across the chest, then a black leather collar with metal pieces on them, and a silver metal feather stitched in the middle.

Over-coat- Took some very delicate off-black material with some delicate neutral red material, drew out a shape for the coat on card stock, pinned the card stock pattern to the black and red materials together. Stitched the two materials together along the edges of the cut-out, then removed the pins after stitching was completed and turned the whole piece inside-out. I then carefully ironed out the coat flat. Stitched black feathers along the collar.

Wing on left shoulder- Glued black cob web trim to transparent plastic from pony packaging, then pinned it to pony. Made 3 black leather strips for the extended pointed details. Stitched a black mesh lace pony tail holder in her ponytail.
