Here's a little nod to my favorite Simpsons character of all time, Mr. Pinchy. (also, my favorite pet in World of Warcraft XD)
This pony is my first gradient dyed pony, and I think he turned out pretty decent. The only issue I had was that a part of one of his feet wouldn't dye correctly, because of the glue around the foot magnet. But I painted over it.
His base was a baity Blue Mist, and he was dyed with dark blue Rit Dye. His Mr Pinchy (the lobster) cutie mark was hand painted in acrylics, as were his eyes. His eyes were painted with Creatix paints, to add an extra shimmer. He was sealed with both glossy and matte Modge Podge, and rehaired with a dark blue, medium blue, and teal Restoredoll.com katsilk hair. His hair was then styled with boiling water.
