Description
A friend of mine is very much a Guinness manand he has said for years that he wants one of my zebras
I have had this planned / in the WIP stages for literary MONTHS >.< (like, I bought the bait at the 2007 pony Fair in Memphis....months) but my friend has a special event tonight and I told myself come hell or high water.....
So. The concept is based on one of the old Guinness advertisements, and the coloration on a glass of Guinness.....mmmmm beer!
baity daddy apple delight
dyed gradient so that his legs are lighter than his back (like a black & tan)
[link]
then his stripes are done in 3 different tans/browns in the opposite direction....light up top, dark down low. stripes & eyes painted with acrylics.
His toucan with his glass of Guinness where sculpted and then painted with acrylic.
he has been re-rooted with dollyhair's 'buttercreme'....which of course has been styled with a smexyman hawk - hehe

Ooh cute! Guinness is great, one of my favourite drinks. QUESTION! How do you get the hair to stick up straight like that?

Thanks! ^_^
in this case I re-rooted the hair short and it just naturally stayed straight ....possibly because the weight wasn't there to bend it over. In past cases I have used a different hair that was stiffer that stood up even longer/with more weight to it.

He is very awesome. Not much of a beer drinker myself (actually can't stand the smell of it myself), but the concept is great.
