Description
Alrighty, well this is my take on a FF9 Kuja custom pony.Despite Kuja's questionable flamboyance, I found his design concept very striking/compelling; which was a MUST for my Final Fantasy custom collection I'm making.
He's re-haired with Arctic Frost mlp hair, his outfit is hand-sewn, and his shoulder boulders are sculpted as well as his pointy boots.
I went all-out on his eyes; staying true to the basic shape of them, then doing my own thing with the layering. I just love how neon, metallic, and neutral acrylics play off of each other; makes them a lot of fun to work with.

Love this! Kuja has to be one of my favorites, and just seeing him as a pony makes everything better. If they honestly sold these, I would be one in a heartbeat.
Have to say, I love your work on custom ponies....especially the Final Fantasy ones. It's like, my childhood, combined into one.

You're welcome to request a commission request at any time- a design like this runs around $70.00.
Of course, I'm constantly producing custom Final Fantasy mlp's, so you'll always see new creations!
I've got Hope and Nora planned, as well as another Gunner Yuna with a chocobo.... ^-^

Okay, I stumbled upon your Kefka Pony via Google images and I fell in love with all of the Final Fantasy ponies you do. Mostly Kuja and Kefka because they're my favourite FF villans.

Is it just me, or is Kuja more manly as a My Little Pony? How does that work out? Lol! Very wicked, love the colorful eyes! So fun!

Yeah, with some characters they just look more lively as ponies... I don't get it, either. o.O

Yes, the eyes really make this pony. The eyes on your customs are always the most striking! You should consider doing an eye tut. I know I'd be all over it!! LOL

Sure thing! I'd love to do an eye tutorial. Just the other day, I kept a watchful time on the clock and it turns out I take up to 2 hours just on the eyes. X______X It mostly involves the layering of bajillion colors....XD
The only problem I'd have with making a tutorial, is that a lot of the blended colors are determined by the artists' best discretion. :~/ There is no right or wrong choice; it's just about finding the right combination darks, brights, neutrals, and highlights.

Is that two hours Per Eye?? Or an hour per eye?
I think you should! It'd be a great tutorial!!!

...not sure! 2 hours total for both eyes.

Oh, that's not too bad, then! Can't wait for the tutorial!!

Love the hair. It has so much anime flair!
Really the only crit I could give is for his shoulder boulders. I don't know if they are supposed to be metal or stone. If metal, you might consider using sheet metal next time. If stone, they look a little too metallic although I suppose that could be your lighting as well.
Otherwise, kudos on the beautiful costume. Sewing is hard, especially for something so small. I bow to your superior sewing pattern-making skills. *bows*

The eyes ... oh, my goodness! They're absolutely perfect; they hold just the right amount of intensity. The colours are so complimentary of eachother, too, and that really stands out; you did a truly wonderful job with them.
Hurr ... questionable flamboyance. Kuja has it. XD Honestly, the jacket you made for him is very awesome, though. Looks better than when he was in the game.
And the hair ... mmrrr. I love him!

lol. XD He was a tad bit "too" feminine in the game...I wanted to capture his essence of beauty, yet keep it on a non-flamboyant level. XD

xDDD I know, right? I spent a long time figuring it out if he was male or female. xD

ok so I LOVE the eyes and shadow!
the hair works so well too! nice job with the clothes...my only comment would be that the shoulderpads look too much like silver blobs. they're too thick to see the details well - also highlighting details with another color paint would help

I whole-heartedly agree.
