Undead Ophelia

It's the annual Halloween pony!

This year's pony is Undead Ophelia. I love "Hamlet" and recently saw a wonderful production of it; it seemed appropriate to make an Ophelia pony. Before moving, I had a chance to take pictures of Ophelia by a lovely creek that my former apartment was next to. It seemed appropriate.

Ophelia started off as a very baity G1 Sparkler with water damage and rust staining. She was given a patchy full-body paintjob (very much inspired by PrincessOfDarkness' zombies) and sealed with Testors Dullcote. Her display side symbol is a jawless skull (a general homage to "Hamlet") and a bloodied violet (a symbol of faithfulness). Her other side shows dead daisies (symbols of innocence) and wilting rue. She was rehaired with a blend of Dollyhair's Hematite, Evil Enchantress, and... a brown that I can't recall right now. It's a really interesting color in person.

Most of the "mud" on her hooves is painted, but some of it might be authentic. It was rather rainy and muddy when we went to the creek for pictures.

Thanks for looking at Ophelia! The Halloween pony is always an important one to me.
