This custom figure set is of the majestic kirin steed as seen in the Nintendo Switch video game Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild. I also felt he wouldn’t be complete without a sitting Link custom riding on his back, so I chose to craft Link in his barbarian attire.

Steed’s pony base is a Strawberry Shortcake horse. I cut it’s hair off and set it aside and used it to make the magenta hair on the skull helmet Link is wearing. I also chopped off the horse’s nose and ears. The eyeballs are plastic 3-D eyeball stickers that I popped off of the loose glittery generation 3.5 fakies. I’ve never really had a good use for those until now. And I tell you this was a wonderful use.
So this kirin has 4 eyes. Took me a bit to wrap my head around the design for that reason, but I figured it out. The browline between both sets of eyes is strips of thick leather I cut to shape. I also used thick leather for the cloven hooves. Antlers are flat silver aluminum wire with painted oval rhinestones glued on.
Both figures coated in white gesso primer.

Link’s pony base is a generation 4.5 Pinkie Pie fish. It was one of those fish figures from the movie, but I got curious and cut away the fabric tail fin and found she had her regular legs tucked within. And all 4 legs of the figure are reposeable so I felt it would make a PERFECT base for a sitting Link custom mounting the back of the majestic kirin steed.

Kirin has layered coat in blended pale blues and aquas, lots of metallic powder blue for the over-sheen, the markings are coral oranges, peach, neon red all toned down and blended with the metallic blue. I did add some glow in the dark paint but I also painted over it quite a bit to soften the markings more. Painted a triforce on a flank just to give the design a signature Zelda vibe.
The sticker eyeballs are painted in black, oranges, yellows to white.
Link has full body paint job in mocha acrylics, eyes given his unique expression, and I did paint body paint markings but they are mostly covered in the barbarian attire. Made the attire as tiny as possible too.
All paint work sealed in Artists Varnish.

Steed’s lower half of mane is cerulean mohair. Sides and face/tail is pale aqua yarn that was combed out to poof. Cerulean mohair and rooted in feet for fetlocks.
Link’s mane and tail is rooted in nylon mlp dollyhair in colors mango tango, golden delicious and lemonade. Link’s ears were cut off and replaced with leather Hylian ears.

Link’s barbarian attire is all leather. Fur pieces are faux white fur, some painted details, hemp cord, leather belts, metallic rhinestones, some bone beads poking through leather on one side. The tiny long beads detailing one hind leg and one front leg, are real silver. They’re from a antique bead assortment my mom gave me early on in my childhood.

Skull helmet has a base structure from a plastic craft egg. Thick white leather glued over top, leather fangs and horns, and real bone beads for the smaller row of teeth on the front. Braided the magenta hair that is equipped out the back of the skull helmet.
