Title: KookyRaccoon's Petites & Sculptures (UPDATE: Parasol Petite)
Post by: KookyRaccoon on January 23, 2017, 09:46:34 PM
Hi again everyone! To cut down on threads I'm going to use this one to post my petites/etc from now on. If you're keen to see extra photos or other works you can check out my deviantart gallery, I'll be adding most of my stuff there. http://kookyraccoon.deviantart.com

(With big parasol)  :happy:

Been a little while, but I'm back with another one :) I was excited to be able to give mini-parasol glittery symbols like her original-version. ^.^ (Bit hard for the camera to pick up.) Glitter is not something I ever use in my other art, so I don't buy it; but fortunately I also seldom get rid of art supplies. I just happened to have a little bit of ultra-fine stuff that was perfect.

On my deviantart page there's a pic of what she looks like as a completed necklace; and the glitter is a bit clearer too! http://kookyraccoon.deviantart.com/art/Parasol-Petite-670607298

Something a little different this time; a clay sculpture of Fireball. :)

And here's the favourite-pick from the poll; Seaflower! A truly awesome pony worthy of petite-ification.

Out of curiosity anyone know if she came with a ribbon? Not sure if the Sunshine ponies did; I found a few pics of MIP ones and couldn't tell. :| Anyway, I went with yellow because it works with her colour scheme and she came with a yellow comb. 

And a group shot, they look pretty all together :heart:

Jazzie has a matte finish now; I wanted to see what a non-glossy option would look like. Surprisingly hard to find matte varnish that actually turns out matte!

They all look adorable! I rather like the glossy finish, myself, but the matte looks nice too.

Hi! Sorry for the delayed response; I did a bit of research and it seems a lot of people had good results with Testor's Dullcoate (clear). It comes in a small can & is a little pricey but it does give a good matte finish. The cheaper brand I tried turned out glossy, so it seems you get what you pay for.

They all look adorable! I rather like the glossy finish, myself, but the matte looks nice too.

Same ;) some things look better matte, but these-shiny all the way!

Thanks everyone!

Your petites are gorgeous as always, such smooth perfect paintwork *swoons*

The sculpture of Fireball is adorable. I love how smooth and strong he looks, and the way you did his hooves is cool. The paintwork is impeccable, sweet eyes and clean symbol. Such a great piece. ^.^

Thanks, I appreciate the lovely feedback :) I'm looking into selling them (perhaps on etsy or through the arena) so when I do I'll make a post about it on here to let you guys know.

I'd like to open up for commissions on the arena, I will post about it here when I'm ready to get into some more commission work! :) (My routine's a little all over the place at the moment.) In the meantime, a piccy of Parasol with her giant twin  ^.^
