I’ve been busy working on customs over the past few months and wanted to make a thread to show them off in one place! :)
The first custom is this bat pony I made for Peepersponies in the Halloween swap

Peepersponies mentioned they liked pastel green and pink in their interests so I wanted to challenge myself and try to create a non conventional color scheme. In order to make sure she stayed distinctly Halloween, I thought making her a bat pony would make it clear she was spooky even if her colors are softer. I looked at some inspiration photos for pastel Halloween aesthetics and overall I’m very pleased with how she turned out! I sculpted her wings, fluffy parts, and nose with apoxie sculpt.
Up next is another Halloween pony, Pumpkin Sparkle!

She is a custom version of the unrealeased G3 pony Ragamuffin posted over in the pony corral. :) I think the colors I selected are maybe a bit more purple than the colors in the image, but I’m still happy with her! I tried to stay as faithful to making her look like a classic G3 as I could! I also added a bit of sparkle to her symbol just because!
Up next is Tiki Time!

She was made from a dollar tree Pegasus fakie. She is actually a failed airbrush experiment…I got a cheap airbrush for makeup off Amazon hoping it might work for customs too, but the paint got clogged up pretty quick so I had to hand paint her instead. Lesson learned though, the really watery paint did go on much smoother than some of my other full body repaints! The sculpted flowers on her tail were also added out of necessity, I cut her tail hole WAY too big by accident, so I had to make it smaller again somehow.
Lastly we have baby s’more!

She started her life as a baby fifi that I was trying to restore…..she was severely discolored and had a mane cut so I had placed her outside to sun fade. Unfortunately, she feel in a hard to access spot while outside and by the time I got her out she had developed mold that gave her horrible purple splotches All over her body. :( Sorry baby fifi! I don’t like to give up on ponies though so I decided to turn her into a custom. She also was a failed experiment with the airbrush that I ended up handpaimting :lol:. The black color and cooler weather outside made me think of roasting s’mores and boom, that’s how she came to be!
Hope you enjoy! :)

Wow, you've been busy!
You already know how much I love the swap pony :lovey:
Pumpkin Sparkle honestly looks so much better than the concept art. You did a great job!
I love Tiki Time, and even if it was out of necessity the flower is fantastic.
Baby S'more is so cute! Her symbol is really nice! (and now I want s'mores :lol: )

I LOVE all of these, though I prefer Pumpkin Sparkle & Baby S'more, because they COULD have been made!!!. Even the first tooth of Baby S'more fits her
-
Such cute designs, all of them! I love Baby S'mores, and your creative swap pony.

Oh fantastic or should I say "fang-tastic".
love pkw xxx

These are really cute and great! :lovey:
I love the bat pony, which is not only cute but also a unique piece and really skillfully made! :iconclap:
The baby pony is also very cute! Glad you kept that tooth on display too! And the best thing is that the pony is black! I love black ponies. :heart:

Pumpkin Sparkle is gorgeous! Love Tiki Time and Baby S'mores too.
