Unicones!

someone at the festival must've bought nanners didn't they? not surprised, she's the cutest of the bunch kooky cone's so cute too!

I know, I wanted her SOOOOO BADLY!
I still might die of it.

Yes, it's true-- she found a very happy home. (I'd be happy to make a similar sundae pony for commission any day!)

The last in this lot might be my actual favorite, though. This is Cherry Bomb, based on the Bomb Pop, Firecracker, and whatever other names are attributed to that classic red white and blue popsicle. I just love the bright colors and I'm WAY too proud of the symbol.

is that my cherry Treats?? Oh she looks amazing! You are really talented. She might just have to end up back in my herd!! Her eyes look so good. Perfect name too.

How did you paint the symbols and eyes? They look factory-done! is it airbrush?

It is! Thanks so much, she's a favorite to be sure.

Just hand-painted acrylics for everything. Mostly freehand, though I also made a guiding stencil for Cherry Bomb. I'll also admit to occasionally not removing the factory eyes and painting over as a guideline. Maybe that's inauthentic, but...who makes the rules?

I think using the eyes as guidelines is genius! Work smarter not harder

absolutely no rule at all, you did a beautiful job with a steady hand! I can't wait to see more

I'm selling customs at a summertime Ice Cream Festival, and knew that this was the perfect excuse to work on a line of customs I call Unicones! Little ponies inspired by frozen treats, with their horns all either being an overturned ice cream cone or another treat, with the exceptions in this lot being a popsicle and a dollop of whipped cream on a sundae. I've got five, so I'm gonna tease a little bit by only posting a couple at a time

This pretty face is Jimmies, the Birthday Cake flavor Unicone! Built from a deflocked Cupcake with a horn made from a mold. She's the newest of the bunch.

And this sweetheart is Nanners, the banana split! She was a Baby Glory who came to me with a missing horn tip, so instead of just mending the horn, I sculpted a little cherry to complete the sundae. These two both go pretty heavy on the sprinkles, don't they?

Jimmies is gorgeous. I suggested a boy uni (Glory pose) and a boy in Gingerbread pose to HQG1C and they said maybe they'd put a horn on the Shady pose (no promises) but now I see how GOOD it looks! Anyway, back to the ice cream aesthetic, I feel like I am in an ice cream shop just looking at them. They are so frosted, matte, and pastel, just like ice cream. I can hear the air conditioner and am looking for the water fountain, lol. Great ponies and great photos!
