An extremely late pair of ponies
« on: August 14, 2023, 11:20:56 AM »
Last year for the Halloween Swap, Kaelynn was my partner. During the swap, hurricane Ian came through and it became impossible to get supplies and food afterward (they are actually *still* cleaning up after it to this day). Anyway, some other stuff happened... I think that was when my mom fell and broke her leg and my dad started getting sick too. There was a lot to deal with!

The Halloween custom I ended up making, I didn't think was very good. I couldn't get my head in the right place. I was also super late shipping out, so I promised I would make a make-up pony. Well, then THAT took forever too. My cat died, my dad died. All sorts of bad things continued to happen.

I only had to dip dye the hair on the make-up custom for the longest time. I finally got around to doing that and was ready to send out the package... almost a year later!

These are those ponies.

Anauth, the Halloween pony.

The blue on her legs and head is color shifting into purple. I had to resculpt her wings three times because I didn't like them. Ugh, I still think I could have done better.

Then the make-up pony, Sakura. Kaelynn said she liked black and pink and loved cherry blossoms.

I only took one pic... why did I do that? Anyway, the branch actually sticks into a hold in her side (left from the 3D symbol) and the crown loosely sits on her head. I sculpted each flower by hand. They are textured. I regret making the middle of the blossoms so big... but I think she turned out okay.

Thankfully, Kaelynn likes them :) I hope you do too!

Thanks for looking :heart:

Anauth..  :enthralled: A really beautiful pony with wonderful wings and horns! :heart: Beautiful colors! This pony reminds me of Gargoyles. :heart:

Sakura, the spring beauty! Lovely colours! It's always wonderful to see black ponies!  :lovey:

Oh wow these are both fantastic and so sculptural!

I think Sakura is my favourite because I adore cherry blossom.

They are both wonderful, I love Anauth's horns and the colour shifting paint! And Sakura has stunning colours :heart: I love the concept too, the blossoming branches embracing her.

Wow, those are super cool!! I can empathize with the very-late custom pony mail - I've been there! But these turned out fabulous, and I bet Kaelynn was super excited to see them! :frolic: I really like that the cherry blossom branches are removable, that seems like a great idea for shipping! And I really like that color shift paint you've added, it's like kind of textured in the photos, like scales! Such a cool double effect! :heart:

Way to go, but more importantly, congrats on finishing! That's really the biggest hurdle for me to get past, as an artist! Just finish it!! :lmao:

I was sure I had commented on this already!   :blink:

I absolutely love both of these ponies!  I'm a huge fan of dragons and the wing sculpting on Anauth is just amazing.  And Sakura is just gorgeous!  All those tiny flowers and the ombre hair are stunning!  :inlove:

Thank you again, BC...they were totally worth the wait!   :lovey:
