Description This is a improvised rendition of Naruto's character spliced with his inner kyuubi demon spiriit.

I had a vision, and I stuck to it.

I'll start off with saying, that in the series, I was a bit disappointed with how the kyuubi was designed. it was just a plain brownish red fox... no standard markings, and its eyes were just empty white holes and it had a ridiculous grin.
Growing up, I was always picky when it came to collecting fox figurines... if they looked wrong or non-standard in the markings, I wouldn't buy them. >.>
With that thought in mind, I wanted to take the kyuubi's concept, and some-what give it some standard fox markings. (tips at the tails, underbelly, different colored feet...)
But I wanted to keep the color scheme close to the original kyuubi's red/brown color, so I gave it a reddish brown coat, brown tips at the tail, brown hind feet, a yellow underbelly, and yellow front paws to match Naruto's orange/blue coat, which I also incorporated into the design of the fox's coat. >.>

With his face, I cut the top half of the original pony's nose off so I could sculpt more accurate, narrow fox snout. I carved the inside of the pony's mouth out and widened it, so I could give it that ridiculous grin of the kyuubi's... xD
Ears are sculpted, and I wanted to somewhat keep the dramatic feel of the extra long kyuubi's ears from the series.
Naruto's eyes are a design I came up with; a splice between Naruto's anime eyes, and the kyuubi's scary glowy eyes.
I also wanted to incorporate Naruto's kyuubi seal into the design somehow, so I painted it above the tails, as I felt that was as suitable place for it.

Now that I'm through explaining the design, on to the craft!
This is re-haired in yellow fever, electric banana, and lemonade pony hair.
The tails are cheery pie and english toffee, with tips of chestnut pony hair.
Body paint done in acrylics, silver detailing on Naruto's shoulders is done in custom-painted acrylic hemp, his fur is faux fur.
His head band is hand-sewn, the metal plate is hand-painted and custom detailed.

He's for sale if anyone's interested.

As a matter of fact,

~~~~~SOLD!~~~~~

Yeah, it's real funny how you can take a pony with a pre-assigned gender, and change it... >.>
I think it has to do with what you do with the expression. Size of the eyes, the eye brows, and whatnot... other than that, I don't know how it happens. xDD

Mwaha I'll keep that in mind xD
>A> most ponies sort of look feminine O-o..
I keep wondering. Where do shoo get all the ponies from XD :3
They sort of disappeared from the market here >x>...
(do they still sell them oxo? I mean elsewhere?)

There are shitloads of ponies on eBay. xDD I at times buy orders of like 45 ponies...

That, and I raid our local Goodwill thrift store... there's bags of toys, and I grab the bags that have 3+ ponies in them. XD

Other than that, the pony market has been crap since like 2007. Massive disappoint.

2007 ;A;... more like 1996 for where I live v v
they took them off the market completely eventually.
But I am glad you're able to get-em ^ ^-
Do you keep any customized one for yourself though :3 .A.?
Grah 45 ponies .3.!

You do purchase different hair to use on them though yesh ;3?
or do you use the hair that comes ready with the base .A.?
XD Bear with me, if I'm asking lots of questions. I am just the curious type xD
I don't have sculpting skills at all but I am always curious about
what makes things tick.

So the generation 3 line never came out for you guys? They started the g3 line at about 2001 or so... >.> It's almost as though they'd end one line, then a couple years later come out with a new line...

There are some that I cannot get myself to put prices on. >.> Namely the majority of my older Rikku customs... the YRP festival gown customs aren't for sale, either... I just can't put a price on them.

There's a website that sells authentic Hasbro pony and Barbie hair. It's dollyhair.com
It's the highest quality of hair around!
Other than that, when I first started customizing I just used wig hair from halloween wigs and other dolls....

Oo that is a useful sitey, :3
I went through it XD and grah..
.x. It feels so complex to make a custom dollie
Not that it was ever easy >A<

Thank you for informing me though :3 <3

If you genuinely want something or to do something, complexity will not stand in your way.

There's a re-hair tutorial on my front page, if you'd ever like to gain some motivation.

Ooh, I like how you combined the designs. The grin is the best Of course, the rest of it is all awesome, too, but how can you look at that grin and not smile!?

Oh, wow! I really like how you spliced the two together. I had to go back and take a second and third look while reading your description to look at the details as everything looked so right that I couldn't differentiate until you said something.

If I was a Narutard I would definitely purchase this.

LightningMana-Crafts In reply to mystaya171 [2010-05-13 14:54:43 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, my Narutard fandom died a couple years ago... I made this just because of how I fell in love with the concept of the kyuubi being sealed inside Naruto.

If anyone loves foxes, this is a custom for them! I love foxes so much, I'm almost always thinking of new inspiring designs to make into customs... but this one's my first 3-tail. >.>


I may eventually make a rainbow of foxes...

Excellent work! You probably weren't going for this, but I can totally see some of Minato in there as well. I think it's mostly the hair xD

Naruto's dad... I totally see that, too. In a way, I kind of was aiming for Naruto's older appearance, and this was among my image references: [link]

So in a way, you're right! And I kind of was going for that in a round-about-Naruto-resembling-his dad sort of way.

Wicked! I'm not even a Naruto fan but this is way too cute c.c Oh!!! And I'm making a Haunter plush for my husband right now (yay scrap fabrics!) so that you can see exactly how I do with plushies ^_^

Sweet! I look forward to seeing that! ^.^

I'm not that much of a Naruto fan anymore, either...
I hated the series on Cartoon Network, when they were all pre-pubescent... then we downloaded the Shippouden episodes, and I kind of really got into that series. I liked how all the characters matured, Sakura became less useless, XD and all the new new bad-ass characters... it was no disappoint! Then we stopped downloading the episodes, and I've been out of the loop for a couple of years... >.>
But I'm still in love with the concept of a demon fox spirit being trapped inside Naruto. =^.^=
I just wish they put more effort into designing the kyuubi...

^-^ I hope it'll turn out alright. Been taking it really slow. Of course, it'd go a LOT smoother if I had a damned sewing machine >.>

And wow *just learned so much!!!* Sounds great, honestly. I hate useless female characters..............................................Aerith...

*cough*

I think that's a neat idea, the whole demon fox spirit being entrapped. I've never seen the kyuubi though. *still left out!* Lol ^_^

Oh yeah... Sakura becomes more like Tsunade, and punches the living shit out of EVERYTHING. Including the planet. >.> And she heals poisoned peoples

And omfg.... yes... Aerith.. She's so useless, she should've been a NPC, nothing moar. >.<
