Customs for maiden117 (many pictures)

maiden117 got her ponies! I can post them, now. This rocks. I am seriously very excited, because I love these guys. Dial-up beware there are way too many pictures behind these cuts.

(Note: entry is public just long enough to show these two off.) Entry is now locked.



( Lyz )

This custom was based off of Lyz herself, who commissioned the pair. (This is her second commission from me—she was the one that commissioned a series of prints way back when.) White body (peach was unavailable), red hair cut short (and tied back and, in these images, down with a bit of wire, but that's just there to style the hair and comes off for display). Eyes are green, with a tiny spot of green glitter in them. Symbol is a green glitter star with a matte black outline, and I am seriously happy with how it turned out—it's actually even, which is amazing. For the hoof symbol I decided to stick with a simple heart, because I wanted to keep her pretty basic and classic. She wears a removable brown bracelet (just like her non-removable hair band). That's Lyz. Hoof mark and cutie mark are hand-painted. Eyes are about 70% repainted.



( Andy Potter )

This pony was Harry Potter themed at Lyz's request. Andrew, her boyfriend, looks like Harry Potter. The resemblance is kinda scary, she says. So: black-haired white full-sized pony, with a HP-themed cutie mark. I decided to go with the classic scar on his forehead, a wand with "magic" for the cutie mark, and Harry's trademark wild hair. The eyes are, of course, emerald green. I omitted a hoof mark and replaced it with all-over, real "hair" furry clydesdale feet. G1 male ponies had feathered hooves, and I wanted to mimic the look with actual hair. It took a long, long time and a lot of patience, but I think it turned out well. I also used the hair to cover up a nice little addition: I made Andy a bit taller by giving him clay "extensions" to his feet. It makes for a more manly pony. Anyway, that's Andy Potter. Hair and hooves are hand-rooted (some of the hoof work was done with a needle punch method, but most of it is knotted and threaded). Cutie mark and scar are hand-painted. Eyes are about 80% repainted.



Painted polymer flower

I included a cute little flower I made with polymer clay I had lying around. The base is hand-made and it's painted white with red accents and a light pink center. The flower works pretty well with a couple of ponies, as you can see in one of the group images below. That, and I thought it was cute.
