Loki was originally another custom: Rodney McKay. I actually did that one a couple times, but on the third try, I was scraping paint off with an exacto, and he got a bit dinged up, so I gave up and used another pony -- I still held onto that other Rodney, though. I was looking for something in my closet the other day and spotted a Glory bait I'd gotten in a grab-bag of baits (a bait, for you non MLP-customisers, being a pony in very poor condition, suitable only for play by non-discriminating children or for turning into pony customs). I had already toyed a few times with the idea of doing a Loki custom (a movie version) but having put the idea aside because I'd been too busy. Looking at that Glory, I suddenly remembered that old Rodney, and the idea of Thor and Kid!Loki popped into my head. I'd since learned about Goo Gone, which I used to remove the rest of the paint from the old Rodney ....
Loki's costume uses a mix of acrylic paints, applied directly to the body, and fabric, the latter secured with hot-glue and straight pins.The emblem on Loki's chest was printed out on photo-paper, with gold paint added, and glued onto some fabric for stiffness. The horns and wings on his crown were cut out of plastic cannister cover & painted gold...
It was too windy & sunny to do the photos outside, as I normally do. Then I got an idea to build Asgard in my room, using a Cinderella's Castle throw, some black fabric, and fabric that looks like the Rainbow Bridge from the Thor movie! This is the most fun I've ever had both customising and then photographing the finished customs! I think Loki turned out especially well.
