A G4-to-G1 Celestia and/or Luna custom made out of a...

[Ninox]

In my online pony-related travels, I've seen a handful of Celestia and Luna customs made out of G1 ponies, yet curiously, I've never seen one made out of a Sweetheart Sister pony.

I'm honestly surprised by this, since I'd think one of these G1s would be perfect for a custom like this, with their delicate builds and elegant appearances that are so different than the standard look of that generation. True, the horn and wings would be a bit challenging, but I've seen some custom artists pull off far more challenging "pony modifications" than that.

So are there seriously no Luna or Celestia Sweetheart Sister customs out there, or have I just managed to overlook them?

I have yet to see them, but I think they'd be beautiful!

I think that customizers may be a bit wary of using SHS for customs; they're a bit more pricey and not as common as say a glory or moondancer. Plus there's all that sculpting like you mentioned... I could see using a pony bride.

I know egophiliac was working on a SHS Celestia custom a while back:

Not sure if she ever finished, though. I agree, it'd be great to see some custom G4 -> G1 SHS princesses .

I am going to nudge this over to the Customs forum for you - you will probably get more answers over there

I feel like I've seen a Luna in that base before, but not Celestia. It'd be perfect for her!
Or how about a season 1 style Luna in a Sweethear Sister mold? That'd be so cute! <3

Early into my G4 interest, I bought a SHS with the intention of turning it into a Luna. Decided not too though since the one I bought (for cheap) was in pretty nice shape.

I'm pretty certain I've seen a Luna one here as well but the artist slips my mind.

I got a g1 Luna in a swap and I don't remember who the amazing customizer was (and the ponies aren't signed!). Here are some pics though.

Thank you! I somehow completely overlooked the Custom forum.

Oh wow, that custom looks beautiful! Thanks for the link!

I actually have seen a picture of one Celestia custom in that pose, but it was still a WIP at the time the picture was taken (and sadly, the artist doesn't seem to have finished it yet): http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/002/0/2/wip___g1_celestia_by_ihmislehma-d70jwy6.jpg

Both Celestia WIPs linked here look stunning! I hope they will be finished one day.

I can't think of any more princess customs in the SHS mould, but Pop-girl used one to make an amazing Chrysalis for the Hasbro inspired contest at the 2012 MLP Fair: http://fav.me/d56spu8

Made a G1 Celestia & Chrysalis but sadly also no SHS pose - these seems so weak for huge sculpted wings

Wow, that custom is amazing! I wish I'd noticed it sooner.

Your customs are beautiful as well, BerryMouse! I definitely saw your Celestia when I was searching for customs.
