Description Kenshin is from the anime series Rurouni Kenshin. He was comissioned by my sister, Kim.

His body was painted in Americana barn red (Although the color is off in the pix. For some reason the camera was not cooperating today.)

His eyes were repainted a rich violet in anime style. You'll also notice that his eyelashes are gone. It makes him look more 'male' to me.

His scar is made of apoxie sculpt and painted a rose color to mimic the discoloration of a scar.

His hair was rerooted in Restoredoll's Mahogany (I think. It's been a while since I rehaired him and I threw out the package. It could be Cognac) and styled, a little, like Kenshin's. It would be more accurate, but I ran out of hair.

His symbol is a Japanese snake dragon. The reason behind this is most of Kenshin's sword attacks have the word 'dragon' in the name. I hope it looks okay. I am terrible at dragons and only agreed to this custom cause my sister is a hard woman to say no to (In other words: she pouted and whined till I said yes. lol)

His hooves have been "haired" with apoxie sculpt. I will never do it again. It was pure hell working with such thin 'snakes' of apoxie sculpt. Next time I make a boy I will have some hair coming off the back of the hooves and that'll be it.

I water them down a little. I also use a very fine bristle brush.

This is cool! I'm a HUGE Kenshin fan. But, I've learned his name means 'Heart of Sword.' If you, or anyone else ever got around to doing another custom of this handsome pony, I think it'd be cool to do a dragon like the one you've got on there circling a sword. 'Cause you're right. The word Dragon is in Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu a lot.

Nevertheless, this is beautiful. Well done.
