Hi guys! I wanted to finally start my own thread to post about my pony custom journey. Unfortunately I can’t post about my most recent pony project yet because she’s for a swap, but here’s what else I’ve got going on! (Please excuse the fact that my photo situation is kinda jank- I’m used to making art for myself and not really sharing it online, lol. It’s a work in progress!)
Here we go!

This is the first pony custom I made! It’s a G1 version of Starcatcher! I really love how she turned out, but unfortunately this is the best picture I have of her because I sold her— In the grand scheme of things, a good problem to have!!

Next up is Pumpkin, the spooky Jack-o-pony! I got some BBEs in a bait lot that I wasn’t sure what to do with… then I had this idea!

Last, here’s Grape Fizz! She’s sort of a work in progress… because she’s a magic motion pony but her mechanism broke and I failed miserably to repair it. So currently she’s suffering from a case of “giant butt hole disease” and also “no tail syndrome.” (To respect her privacy, I have not included a picture where you can see the aforementioned Giant Hole.) Also, I know her mane is Hella long, I just really love fidgeting with ponies who have super long hair so I thought it’d be fun! And i was right, I love her hair, lol!

Here’s a concept drawing for some ponies I’m working on next… Beanie and Baby! They’re pinto horses. I still have to find a teeny tiny base to use for Baby, but Beanie is already in progress!

And lastly, a sneaky peeky of the custom that will become the pony friend in my signature, the tapir! She actually… doesn’t have a real name yet. But I’m thinking something circus themed. If you have any ideas feel free to suggest them in the replies :]

Ok, that’s all for now! Thanks for checking out my stuff! (For the record I’ll be open for custom pony commissions soon if anyone would be interested in such a thang.)
 
Your ponys are so cute! (Well except for the bbe, that thing will haunt my dreams tonight :eek:)
I love the way you did the hooves on grape fizz, and her hair looks so good ^_^
Baby looks like she’ll be Keen Bean’s little cousin when she’s done :D

That Star Catcher is beautiful! And your G2 as well!
The lights work very well with the BBE. Do you have a switch for it?

And I love the Beanie and Baby idea!

The tapir…! It looks so good with a pony base how did Hasbro not make a tapir friend!?
 
Wow!! I love all of these! I really can't wait to see your tapir when you are finished. The G1 Starcatcher is fabulous. I love that the Halloween BBE has light up eyes, that's awesome!! Your customs are very creative. If I am ever interested in commissioning a pony custom in the future, I know where to go :happyhearts:
 
*SQUEALS!!!!* LOOK AT THE TAPIR BABY! So stoked to see this little one! Brilliant use of the cursed BBE ponies - I never liked those eye mechanisms, even as a child, but you made her very spoopy fun.

You do awesome work! And your photo setup is totally fine - far better than many. Reminds me I REALLY need to get some decent update photos - I have like six WIP ponies but I hate fussing with my lightbox.

Omg you're right!! Maybe I'll have to get a keen bean to be friends with them!!

Well...currently you have to behead her to turn the light on and off-- extra spooky, LOL!! (o_o;

Yay!!! I would love to work with you someday!! :lolpony:
 
I want that creepy BBE! It's perfect! XD
 
That is an inspired custom of a BBE, lol! Wow, I've never seen a G1 Star Catcher before, she looks so regal. The tapir is just adorable, great concept. <3
 
Update on Beanie.... Ive found out that the matte Craft Smart brand acrylics dry in a way that makes drawing on them with watercolor pencils possible! No MSC necessary! I didn't have the paint color I needed and I didn't feel like mixing paint, so sketched out the shapes in pencil... And then I sort of decided to color them all the way in and see how it goes! So far it's working! I'll probably end up sealing her with MSC and then going in with a second layer of the pencil... Maybe lol. That sounds like it'll take a LOT of sealant.

Hey guys, long time no see! I’ve started putting my nose to the grindstone getting ponies ready to sell at my table at MDPM. Here’s some of what I’ve been working on!

Miss Nana Split! She’s almost done, I just need to finish painting her cherry and plop it on her head!

Miss Magic Lotus! She obviously has a lot way to go, but I really like how she’s turning out.

Hope you guys like them!
