I was trying so hard to avoid playing Robot Unicorn Attack ( [link] ), but I finally decided to try it and now I'm ruined for life! I saw all this great fan art, but no customs yet so I figured that I'd start it off with my own version of my favorite robot!!!

Robot Unicorn started life as a Cherilee, who I gave a horn with Sculpey and also a full repaint with metallic silver acrylics. He/she/it (what gender is a robot unicorn anyway?) was sealed in Mod Podge Glossy to add to the metallic effect. I rehaired it in Dollyhair (Candy Apple, Satsuma, Golden Delicious, Envy, Forget Me Not, and Sour Grapes).

The paint took about 6 hours, with several base coats (about 7 to fully cover the original color) and then the details of the metal plates and bolts (my poor hands were dying trying to be steady). The eyes were surprisingly quick, it's the first time I've strayed from the Hasbro style eyes and it was a lot quicker for me to make my own take. They probably only took an hour, but mostly because of drying time in between coats. I'm really pleased with them though! They turned out differently than I had intended, but for once that's a good thing! My hand slipped at the corner of the display side eye, giving it that little swoosh and I liked it so I added it to the other side lol!

ETA: Oh my, thank you all for the s!!! I'm flattered!
