"Baby Carousel" by JediMasterLisa
My first ever custom carousel pony. I do not know who she belongs to now. Just a pretty little thing. :) I hope whoever has her now has given her a nice name. Technique of creation: puff paint painted over with acrylics.


"Baby Tidal Wave" by Vamppire

Baby Tidal Wave is painted a dark teal, and has been rehaired in white and a green streak. His face is complete with lil freckles! What makes him unique (at this time, I have yet to see this done) are the handmade furry feet made out of clay. Each "strand" of hair was placed individually and most were attached with glue, although some stuck on their own. They were then painted over with the rest of the body.


"Monarch the Flutterbye" by Stockings

An original creation. Probably my favorite custom that I have done


"Sacred" by Jellybean
Sacred is the bearer of a singular and terrible curse. With greed in her heart she touched the sacred crystal at the center of Ponyland, and paid the price. Though she lives and moves, her body is being consumed by crystal and glass and she is being transformed into a living work of art: a stained-glass pony.

She was once a Banana Surprise, but I took her and peirced geometric shapes all over her sides, down one leg, and up her neck. The panes are not true glass, but an effective mimic obtained through much trial-and-error. One eye is now glass, and shines as light refracts through it. It was difficult to capture the beautiful effect that comes from having light shined through her body, or up through the hollows made in her feet, but trust that she is a thing of eerie beauty nonetheless.


"Sakura" by IceFeather

Sakura was definatly one of the special ones. Her symbols are extremly small and detailed, her body paint so smooth, and her hair...it all came togther so perfectly. I'm still astonished I managed to finish her.
