"The Black Spy" by JediMasterLisa

inspired by: "Spy Vs. Spy" comic strip in Mad Magazine
Her opponent the White Spy is her symbol. If you look closely you will notice there is a lit stick of dynamite about to hit White Spy's head. Sort of a twisted Yin-Yang thing going on here. [Based on the Spy Vs. Spy comic strip from Mad Magazine]

"Gandolph the Grey" by Britannia

inspired by: the character Gandolph the Grey from "Lord of the Rings"
I painted his body grey and choose an appropriate pictures for his symbols. I also threaded him with a brushable long white beard. Complete with hat and stick.

"The Guardian [Chimera]" by Jellybean

inspired by: the ancient Greek legend of Chimera
This fearsome beast is based on the Chimera of greek legend, who terrorized a kingdom until he was slain by the hero Bellerophon. He has been protrayed in many forms, but most traditionally he has the head of a lion, the body of a horse, and the tail of a serpent. He also often has additional goat's and dragon's heads, and dragon's wings. I've opted for the full version. ;)

Chimera is my most recent effort, and has been one of my most labor-intensive customs to date, integrating body parts from Tabby, princess Misty, Sundance, Firefly, and Lickety Split, as well as various appendages molded from pony parts, and a sculpted tail with head hand-carved in the likeness of Spike the baby dragon.

"Play Boy" by Dazzle Glow

inspired by: Play Boy magazine
The idea for PlayBoy came along when I brought a few of my custom ponies to my art class to get some critiques on them. After a long 80's toy discussion a guy friend of mine SWORE that all MLPs were evil, so I asked him if there was any way to get him to accept them. His reply was "Yeah, when they come out with Play Boy ponies THEN my interest may be sparked." ...I think I really scared him when I brought a 'Play Boy Pony' in a few days later
