(Why am I up so early? I'm tired. So I'm doing this and then going back to bed. Yes.

I completed another custom last night. Introducing:


Night Tide )

Night Tide is a dark merpony made from a G3 McDonald's Wysteria base. She is approximately 3 inches tall (a full-sized pony is 5). She has been rehaired with black Yaki hair, and her hair is firmly rooted and brushable. Her hair as been cut long and her forelock has been styled with three, non-removable black beads. The molded tail has been removed and replaced with a mertail made of Sculpy. Her tail has been painted black with a satin finish, giving her a water-wet look. Her eyes are completely repainted in pure black with white highlights. She bears black tribal markings or tattoos on her display side and forehead. Her non-display side hoof is signed and dated.

She is a beautiful, one of a kind pony, and the only McD's merpony that I've ever seen. I'm rather taken with her myself. She isn't what I expected her to be, but she turned out well: very dark and dramatic, but still small enough to be cute.

If you are interested in purchasing Night Tide, I'm asking $25 USD + S&H. Do note that her tail broke twice when I was working on her, and one seem is still somewhat visible. Other than that, she looks quite nice. Shipping will be low, because of her small size and weight, or nothing, if you contact me soon enough (next 2 weeks). Comment here, or email me (swiftskyes@hotmail.com) and let me know. Even if you aren't interested, feedback would be nice.

'Cause she's pretty.

(Thank you to [livejournal.com profile] aphlatus for the base and [livejournal.com profile] darksilence for the name.)

In brief: After escaping death in World War II, Mr. Sammler lives out his days in New York City. He is an observer and a half-blind prophet in a time of social decay and moon exploration. This is the sort of book in which nothing world-changing happens and yet the world is changed: Sammler explores the cause of social decay and the apocalypse, humanity's chance for new life on the moon, and what it means to be human and participate in the human experience.
