Finished finally! (sorry if pics are too big)

It took me over nearly three months to finish, but my custom is finally finished!

Here's RC, my first custom pony.



Description (copy-pasted from DA): Her color scheme was inspired by Masquerade, but they have a special significance to me. I named her RC. Not only does she share my first and last initials, but there is also a special type of electrical circuit known as an RC circuit. The colors of her mane and tail represent the schools that I have been to. The green represents my high school and the blue represents my junior college. She also has a maroon ribbon on her tail to represent my alma mater. I recently graduated with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, so I decided that a light bulb with a lightning bolt would be a perfect cutie mark.

Also a close up of her cutie mark:



I cannot express how happy I am that she's finally finished. When I first started painting her, I didn't think she'd ever look right. Even worse, was when I had to make two attempts at her cutie mark because my paint brushes weren't the appropriate size. I have nothing but the highest respect for those who do this very often. It is most definitely more difficult than it looks.

I cannot begin to express my thanks for those who answered the many questions I had throughout this process. You guys are so awesome!

Thanks. It took three attempts on her body before I hit on the right paint consistency.

I wasn't expecting my fingers to be so sore after rehairing her.
