Meat-Cute (Light Gore Warning)

[PernicketyPony]

My first attempt at a custom toy!

I had a few friends around and we all sat around eating cupcakes, drinking sparkling wine and painting My Little Ponies.

So this is mine. Her name is "Meat-Cute" and she was made by painting with acrylics on a blank G3 My Little Pony from Hasbro.

Although she didn't turn out as spectacularly as I pictured in my head, she certainly turned out a lot better than I expected, so I'm quite pleased.

I think the t-bone steak is my favourite part...

...but the ham turned out pretty okay, too.

A few weeks ago I actually made a string of sausages out of Fimo and embroidery thread to hang around her neck...but it has been temporarily misplaced. When I find it I'm planning on making a whole butcher shop filled with accessories for her...because every girl loves accessories!

Because this is my first custom, I'd certainly appreciate any feedback I could get. Cheers!

Oh my gosh I love her, haha. That is such a clever play on words and then literal design from the wordplay. I can't wait to see the whole butcher shop of accessories

Love!!! 

[Izrabeth]

  ohhh what a weird pony! She's cool! hehehehe

[Colorscapesart]

Oh wow, you outdid yourself!  I think the ribs are my fav.  I'm gonna put a very light gore warning on the thread due to the blood

[kaoskat]

Very creative! I never would have thought to make a meat pony! Great work!

[PernicketyPony]

NoDivision: Heehee, I'm glad you like the name! I figure her parents were in show business...possibly working in craft services?

rybett: 

Izrabeth: Thank you! In my family, we always say that "weird" is a compliment, so I guess she'll fit right in at my home :-)

Colorscapesart: Woops! Thanks for putting that warning up. As a bug fan of horror movies,games and books I sometimes forget that blood is something a lot of people are not comfortable with. I'm glad you liked the ribs. After I painted them I didn't really like them and was worried people wouldn't be able to identify them...so just the fact that you were able to recognise them as ribs is a compliment!

kaoskat: Thanks! I've been sitting on the idea of a meat pony for AGES and I'm so glad I finally did it. A friend actually gave me an idea for another pony to make as  friend for Meat-Cute...so hopefully I'll get on that soon!

Wow, that's certainly one unique pony! I like how the symbols and the red of the blood really pop against the stark white background. The fishbone is my favourite part.

[MercuryStar]

Ahaha, she is awesome!   Great painting job on your first custom!

[jupiternwndrlnd]

she makes me want a steak! hehe i love the little meat cleaver ^_^

[hyenacub]

She looks awesome..but...  I don't understand the play on words?

[ShugarGlider]

Cute symbols! Actually one of my favorite concept art pictures for the game Skyrim was a picture of all the different kinds of meat that were designed for the game. I'd love to see her accessories when you finish them!!

[PernicketyPony]

Griffin: My favourite thing about these blank ponies is how the white base makes everything else stand out. I can't wait to do more!

MercuryStar: Thanks! There's still a lot of room for improvement, but the painting went better than I had expected.

jupiternwndrlnd: Mmm...steak. You know, I actually can't even remember the last time I ate steak!

hyenacub: I'm glad you asked! I'll try to keep this brief...but the basic concept is: "Meet-Cute" is a screenwriting term referring to the moment, generally in a romantic comedy, when two characters meet in a cute or amusing way (often involves some sort of humorous understanding). My pony, "Meat-Cute" is the daughter of an actress named "Ingenue" and a stallion named "Sweetmeats" who works in craft services. They met one day on set under circumstances that I have not yet decided on (but you better believe they'll be cute/humorous!) and decided to name their daughter after this meeting...but using the spelling from Sweetmeat's name. TA-DA!

And if you think THAT story is convoluted and a bit of a stretch... just wait until I tell you about Meat-Cute's cousin, "Prime Cut"!

ShugarGlider: Oh cool, I haven't seen that picture...I'll have to look it up! I think I was inspired by looking at too much Mark Ryden and  Junko Mizuno art.

Oh I like Junko Mizuno! I like a nice mix of weird + cute
