G4 Autumn/Halloween ponies for Coloring Contest

[Griffin]

After several years of barely having any time or inspiration for customs, this year has turned out to be pretty productive!

I wanted to give back to my lovely pony community and make a couple of customs to be offered as prizes in the Halloween Colouring Contest

First up is Pumpkin Pie:

She's a fairly simple custom made using an older Applejack base. Since both ponies had clean bodies, I wanted to avoid full body repaints. Instead I designed the colour schemes with the original body colours as my starting point. AJ had a slight head-body mismatch but as that's not uncommon in G4s, I tried to ignore it and hope it's not too distracting.

Little Witch & Gremlin the Cat

This was meant to be another "quick" custom but turned out to be anything but (lol I'll never paint striped socks again...) She started out as alicorn Twilight Sparkle. I cut off the wings and gave her a sculpted saddle to cover the stubs. I had planned to give her a traditional symbol (a cauldron and a broom) but after sculpting I realised there wasn't enough room. So I painted one of her socks black, put the cauldron there, and gave the broom to her cat, Gremlin. All sculpting was done with Apoxie Sculpt, including the cat (although polymer clay would've been a wiser choice...) Gremlin's whiskers were made with small pieces of fishing line, painted in acrylics and glossed.

Thanks for looking! The contest is running until Nov 1, enter now to win one of these customs or some gorgeous artwork from Shaiyeh

They're both adorable! Pumpkin Pie is my favorite but I love all the sculpting with Little Witch. The cat turned out so cute!

Beautiful!  Pumpkin Pie's colors are just gorgeous, she really brings to mind Autumn days with warm treats.  Little Witch's outfit is so ornate, that tiny cauldron painted on her foot...the level of detail is really impressive!  Also I love her little eyebrows

Thanks! I was a little worried at first because the cat was quite ugly before I painted him

Thank you ^^ I give all my G4s eyebrows, they have such big foreheads and the eyebrows make them much more expressive... even though I'm generally not a huge fan of eyebrows on animals (in cartoons etc.)

As amazing as the Ponies are, I have to say it: Gremlin is my absolute fave!!! He's the perfect pet for his Pony & his whiskers made like you did adds a wonderful touch!!!

These are so precious!! I can't decide who I like more - traditionally I'm more of a purple fan, but omg the orange and the pie is doing me in! Great work!!
