Customs for maiden117 (many pictures)

[juushika]

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

         


He had some amazing hair before it got cut down.

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.
