I wasn’t happy with the smooth tail for Pinky Pie, and after some experiments with clip-in extensions to cover my rainbow mohawk, set out to convert a pair of wigs into a new curly bright pink mane and tail. (Pinky Pie’s mane and tail are always drawn as giant puffy curly things) I will be…
Rocky’s hind feet are always drawn as long and plain grey, with only two toes suggested by a midline, and no paw pads on the underside) My costume version of Rocky’s feet are being built on a pair of simple grey deck shoes with elastic inserts rather than laces. I’ve added pull straps to them…
