Title: Mystery Custom ID - Merry Go Round G2
Post by: Snapdragon on March 08, 2018, 02:36:31 AM: I had the chance to attend an awesome pony party recently (thanks again Goddessofpeep!! :heart: ) and one of the prizes offered was a beautiful Merry Go Round G2 custom! I swooped in after winning third place for trivia (woo hoo!) and snagged this little beauty! I couldn't resist her stunning sculpted saddle, but ... who made her? :blink: Goddessofpeep told me that she got her in a random lot on eBay, and I have to confess that I'm super curious about her now! If anyone has any guesses or memories of seeing this girl around the forums/eBay/anywhere in the past decade or two, please speak up! :heart: Thanks guys!!

I've done a little googling, searched a couple Deviantarts of people who I suspected might have made her, but no dice yet! Hopefully this is just a really well-known customizer who I managed to miss, and she will be a quick and easy ID! :heart: I'm not intending to sell her, this is purely for my own edification - but it sure would be nice to know!

I have no idea who made it, but I hope we'll find him/her soon. Congrats. This pony is lucky to pass the rest of its time by your side. =)

I was wondering how you'd be able to get such wonderful sculpting...this inspires me to want to dabble in some sort of customizing.

I remember Back In The Day that I saw a tutorial for using puff paint to make MGR designs. I even bought some to try it out! Mine sucked though. :)

I've never even heard of puff paint, I can imagine my attempts would be no better lol - but after seeing this gorgeous beauty I feel a creative spark to make a MGR custom.

Post by: aintnobuffalo on March 13, 2018, 07:14:57 PM: I'm no help either, sadly, but that's some nice work. I would love to hear about the technique. No marks on the hooves, I suppose? Let us know if you find the artist
