Description Commission for ~kalavista

Guide lines I was given:
Galaxy-theme
All white pony base with original body color exposed
Hair blend of hematite, daiquiri ice, and blizzard (I added arctic frost)
Paint style done similar to my "Komat Ethereal Deity" original design
No clothing
Show case the painting
Loose/flowy hair style with maybe braids and trinkets.

Hopefully this turned out as a Kalavista-styled custom, with a prominent "Mana" flare; that was my goal with this...

Took me a few weeks to get this satisfactory. <.<
The way customs like this work, is I have to lay down some texture layers of paint, let some time go by, then come back and add more layers until it turns out the way I want it... just got to build up to the final product. I started with the face, then did the aqua spiral galaxy side, then the black galaxy side. It turned out way unbalanced, so I got the sudden stroke of genius to take some rubbing alcohol and blend/shape specific areas of the paint.
The round blue beads in the hair are antique beads from the 1920's.

This is gorgeous. I'm in LOVE with the galaxy paintings. Just out of curiosity, what would be an estimate on cost for a similar type of commission?

This one was about $55.00 if memory serves me correct.

....Edea avatar? I've made a Edea custom before... (not a shameless sales plug, just a "hey! I've made that too! lol) I need to remake her again some day though. Newer better version... first one I made was back in 2007- shoddy beginner days. XD

Yeah! That's me dressed as Edea in the icon I make costumes. That's awesome! I'd love to see her. Do you have a picture of her in your gallery? I didn't see an Edea!

Very nice cosplay pic!

Since she's so old and out-dated she may be in my scraps... [link]

The Mana flair is very evident in this one, for sure. I love how you worked in the spiral and galaxy patterns; they look so intricately detailed, and so eye-catching; like those pictures you can stare at for hours and be amazed at a new piece you didn't see before.
I really like those beads, too ... stuff from the 1920's, wow.
