This has been months in the making, but I finally finished her. @_@ Cloud Dancer is my personal pony, and yes, she's an alicorn. She's also my first G2 custom. She was made from a G2 Sky Skimmer (included a pic of the original bait pony near the bottom of the image). Pony was de-haired and de-symboled, given a full body repaint, Milliput used to sculpt a horn and wings (I learned a number of things about sculpting this time around), her ears modified, her eyes and face modified, and her hooves modified to make her look a bit more like the G4 line of ponies. The neck joint was raised and resculpted a bit to make her look a bit more like the princess ponies from the new TV show. The eyes and symbol were drawn in india ink and painted in metallic and regular artist grade acrylics, and sealed with mod podge. Her hair is a blend of Black Magic and Starlight from Dollyhair. I suck at styling. Included a pic of her with my stock Rainbow Dash to show the size comparison. I think it works rather well.

Cloud Dancer was largely a personal experiment to see if I could make an existing pony look the way *I* wanted her to look, without repainting a Celestia. I'm not entirely pleased with the results, but I learned a lot of things about my materials, and that I am definitely not the world's most fabulous sculptor by any stretch of imagination. I just could not get the stuff to smooth out quite the way I wanted it to.
 
I think you are being too hard on yourself. She looks great! She was a huge project (I'm sure) and you should be patting yourself on the back. Really. :) You did a GREAT job!
 
I agree! Sculpting is a pain & she looks really nice. :)
 
Aww, thanks. ^_^ I still feel like I have a long way to go, but I'm learning. Milliput works pretty well. I wish Apoxie wasn't so dang expensive to ship. I'd love to try it out.
 
Such a pretty bird! Woo woo! Right-on! So feminime and divine..such G2 love..
