Title: New Customs - Unicorns, goats, and a llama
Post by: Alightir on December 11, 2017, 11:23:35 PM
Greetings!

Recently I finished a bunch of customs which I’ve been meaning to finish for years now. A friend of mine asked if I could do a couple more goat ponies for her, which is what spurred me on to finishing these ones, but from the sounds of it, she has a couple of specific bases already in store for me. Which means, all of these are looking for new homes! I’d like to share them here first, before posting them to ebay.

Somnus - Goat Pony of Sleep
I’m really happy with how this guy turned out! I just need to figure out what to do with manes/tails/beards on the goats. Goat pony V1 just had a mohawk mane, but I’m finding that the new hair is so beautiful, I kind of want to give them -at least- luxurious beards.

Amanita the Unicorn
She’s my favorite of the bunch, I will be ok if she does not find a home and “accidentally” finds her way into my personal collection. ;) Yup, that is in fact the Mario mushroom that she is based off of, it’s a gorgeous species! I worked on her while listening to a podcast on mycology, so the love of fungus is definitely imbedded in her, haha!

Blue Lotus
Another unicorn, but this time, for the love of blue!

Spirtfire the Goat Pony
One that came with marks and such, so I thought I’d see what I could do with getting a different body color. I’m not fond of doing the full body paint, (this one will definitely need to be treated with care), but it was good to get an idea of what it’s like to work with. Also, more experimentation with goat mane/tails. What do you guys think? I’m thinking the eyes, beard, and horns are enough to read as “goat”.

Illaminati
My group of buddies like to make jokes about the Illuminati, and one of those friends also happens to be into MLP. I haven’t shown him yet, but he will be shown soon! She was another one who was in rough shape, so she was great for getting a feel for re-sculpting. I’m also getting an idea about how to do hair styles on ponies. I’ve no idea what I’m doing, but being a llama, she definitely needed a cool curly hair style!

Several more are on the way! These are sculpted with Magic Sculpt and painted/sealed in acrylic. The horns are sculpted over armature which is rigged pretty firmly in the pony, so they’re pretty solid (I still wouldn’t suggest throwing them across the room, haha).

Feel free to PM me if you’re interested in one! Here are the prices I have in mind:
-Amanita: $95
-Spitfire Goat: $65
-Lotus: $75
-Somnus Goat: $155
-Illaminati: $150

Plus around 10-15 shipping US. Again, they’re not officially up for sale yet, but I’m not opposed to parting with any of these, and would love to gauge interest in customs!

I love your style and how vibrant these are!!  I like how you did the different shades in the goat eyes- I'd say that definitely makes them look more like goats. :D  The Sweetheart Sister makes for a good llama pose too.  ^.^  I really like Amanita and how she is based on the Mario mushroom.  Her eyes, symbol, and color scheme are beautiful.    :lovey:

Goodness! Somebody is quite talented! They all look lovely, especially Illuminati and amanita. Gotta love that fungus. And we need more conspiracy ponies.

Fabulous work, thanks for sharing! I love the goat eyes and the llama resculpt, and Amanita has such wonderful, striking colours. ^.^

Thank you all for the kind words, it’s much appreciated! I’m glad people are getting a kick out of the ideas as much as I am, I was smiling the whole time these guys were being made, haha!

The Sweetheart Sister makes for a good llama pose too.  ^.^
Right?! That was my first thought when I got her, they’re so elegant that they work well for the lankier animals. Plus her expression totally fits the elite/classy theme. :D

And we need more conspiracy ponies.
Yes please! Oh, and there are so many to work with out there, this could be a fun series.

Yes, and prices! A few people have asked, (and being a late night before sleep post, of course that’s the bit of info I space :blush:).

Here we go:
-Amanita: $95
-Spitfire Goat: $65
-Lotus: $75
-Somnus Goat: $155
-Illaminati: $150

Plus around 10-15 shipping US (I’ll need to double check those prices soon, ponies are pretty light, but I know a few of these are going to need to be extra protected because of the sculpted bits).
