I've been working on this girl for a year, and managed to finish her not only on the day that my G1 Mimic arrived, but also on the day that the Arena suffered fatal meltdown, so I've been DYING to post pictures of her. Originally a Rarity that I got for free from that Hasbro giveaway they had last year, she was repainted and turned in to G4 Mimic!
I know it's been done a million times, but I was going to have her as a "stand in" for my real Mimic until I got one, but, as said, I did get her so I'm open to offers on this one if anyone wants to purchase her. I would set a price for her but I've never sold a pony before so I'm not sure what anyone would pay for one of mine.
On to the pics!

I think this is my only G4 custom that actually went well enough for the head to still turn when completed...

Rehaired in, of course, Electric Banana, Pussycat, Envy, and Sugarberry. Electric Banana and Sugarberry are the coolest colors! I love them now!
No G4 would be complete without their animal friend though, right?

I decided to paint Rarity's bird to look like Mimic's symbol, and if anyone buys this the bird will come with her too!

Shot of G4 Mimic with my G1 Mimic after she arrived. I obviously didn't get the body color right, and to be honest there's some problems with the FBR (one of my brushes apparently decided to shed, so there's a tiny fiber embedded in her forehead that you can't see from far away, but I couldn't get it out. I could probably just dab a little paint on it and reseal the spot, actually...)
Next up is an LPS custom I finished about 2 months ago and didn't get around to taking pics of until I was doing a massive photo session. As a writer and artist, I often find myself plagued by Plot Bunnies, offering me plot cookies and Emo Muffins in order to get me to torture my characters. This has been such an ongoing thing that, for NaNoWriMo this past year, I decided to make myself a Plunnie for on my desk. I had an LPS bunny that I thought would work well.

Beware. It may be cute, but it would happily suck the blood out of your mother to get what it wants.

And of course, it needed some cookies and muffins to tempt me with, so I used some scrap Apoxie from another project...

Amazing!!! I love that you did an animal friend too!!!
-
Lovely :D
On another note, do you have any of the hanks of hair you used left? I need these colors :p
-
Thank you both!
WinterSparkle, I have lots of this hair left since the G4s don't take much. I always cut all my hair in half though when I use it, so if you like it super-duper long it's not good for that. (For this Mimic I actually cut the hair in 1/4ths and used that, and it was still too long!)
-
Ok :) I am gonna use it for a styling sized pony but any hair will help :) I will PM you

Wow, thanks so much everybody! I didn't realize the little bird was going to be such a hit. :) Seemed like an idea that wasn't that original at the time.
