Kicking off the thread with a kind of ambitious project! Not sure how far I'll get tonight, but I'm shooting for basic blocking of the symbols and clouds. Some eagle-eyed viewers may notice that this is the Cloud Dreamer from my restoration thread! She was pretty messed up, but looking way better already.

The main gimmick here is clouds! I wanted to pay homage to her original symbols with the castle and dragon sides. The dragon will be a soft yellow-green and snoozing away in the clouds, and the castle will be a subdued purple-grey. The clouds themselves will be multicolored (acrylics and watercolor pencils) and I'm thinking of adding a rainbow or two. I'll probably end up switching the green in her mane for something else, but I'm not entirely sure what currently. I'm gonna need a new name for her! She's not Cloud Dreamer anymore, but her own Cloud Dreamer-adjacent pony! Feel free to leave suggestions!

I love the cloud idea! That’s gonna look great when it’s done!

How about… Cloud Kingdom? Cloud something…
 
The pony is going to look amazing once complete! I love the way the clouds look, very nice.
 
EEE thank you, everyone! She's been an absolute blast to work on, truthfully. I got most of her painting done last night in one session. Her colors came out less subdued and really pop, I'm so pleased! I'm gonna add the finishing touches within the next few days and I'll report back : ) I may need help with hair stripe colors, we'll see.

Cloud Kingdom is super cute! I've been calling her that as a working title, and it might just stick!
 
I'm still working on my Cloud Dreamer custom ( just dreading color-matching paint tbh) so in the meantime I.. did a whole other project. No before pictures this time, but the rundown; I had a very baity Bright Night with an incredibly faded body. Instead of her usual tone, she was grey, and her head and body mismatched horribly. She had weird stains ingrained in her, and her symbols were all over the place. Most were faded and looked weird on her new body tone. I went ahead and redid her entirely on a whim.

I've dubbed her Vanessa! For now, at least. Her body and head still mismatch pretty bad, but her tones are even now. You can't really notice the color disparity unless you look around the neck region, and it doesn't seem to photograph hardly at all.

Vanessa is a part-time garden center worker, but her true talent is nurturing! She loves to babysit, but her side gig keeps her busy when she doesn't have a little one under her wing. She's laid back and gentle, even when life gets rough. She's got a little sister- Baker's Dozen, a Lanard fakie I need to spruce up (keep an eye out!)- that she adores.

I really like those freckles on her. They really suit that pony style! Nice work :Flutter4:
 
So lovely! The graphic lines on Vanessa's symbol and the shading style looks really nice. The freckles look great and compliment the tinsel in her hair! Great work!!
 
Here's a WIP for you guys- a rehaired Baby Sunribbon! Her hair had been cut and originally I thought I could style it into a cute bob, but eventually realized it was just too short to look even and scrapped that idea. I trimmed away the rest of her haircut with the intent to restore in her original colors, but had an incredible idea- white! I was able to salvage her little fringe strand, so that's her original hair, but I took about half of her tail to put into her mane and filled the rest with white. I think OG Baby Sunribbon is nice, but the soft blue of her body, her rainbow hair, and her busy symbol are just very busy all next to each other.

Here she is next to a couple other haircut victims. They were all part of the same lot.

And here's where she's at right this second! Obviously more pics will come when she's styled, but I'm just so pleased with how her rainbow came out I couldn't wait to share!​
 
No huge update currently, but I got some pony mail in. From the auction pictures, I thought these two had their marks intact. I was really excited to add them to the collection! Alas, someone made an attempt to slap their marks back on. I think they're cute! They aren't sealed or anything though, so I think I'm going to scrub these ladies clean and use them for customs. Thier hair is in really good condition, so we'll be keeping that for other ponies. If I can separate the dark pink from Moonstone's tail, she'd be a fantastic donor for a very white Windy with some missing plugs!
