Description

Anypony wants Nightmare Moon for Halloween? :)

It is really unbelievable how much time she took me, I've started working on her the same time as Luna and Celestia. I thought Celestia was much more complicated and time-consuming, but I was wrong! This "little" girl took me over 55 hours (2 hours more than Celestia). I'm sure I won't make another one for same time, and another one will be done only on commission ;)

I've tried to make her very detailed and I focused on her hair and wings. She is made of fleece and has over 650 gems in her hair (ouch, my eyes and fingers :D ). 54 cm high from hoof to the top of her mane (21,6 inches), 70cm high with horn (28 inches).

She is big and quite heavy, she is rather meant to be decorative pony than a pony to cuddle. I hope she'll find a new home :)

As a creator of plushys I can appreciate just how much time and love goes into a piece like this. You have done quite a good job. Her size is very good, being larger than an average pony plush(after all, alicorns are larger than normal ponies). Fleece is a good choice. its soft and ideal for a plushy, the only thing better being minky (which is expensive). Her Wing are the correct size as is her horn (did you use wire to prop them up?) and both are detailed. her shoes and cutie mark are we'll done, as is her eyes.

There is one thing, though. Her breastplate, shoes, and helmet are the wrong color. You used a baby blue when its actually a bit darker (this is ok if, like me, you find your local fabric shop fails to stock the correct color, so you go with the next best thing). Her mane and tail feel a bit off, but that's probably due to the fact that an ethereal mane is hard to replicate.

Overall I give it 4.9 out of 5
