nice! I like her simplicity and her hair style
love the colors

Thank you  ^^ I debated on painting on scales and putting on more scoots/plates for more detail, but I wanted to be able to put her in the MLP herd and take photos with the other pones, not wanting her to stand out too much, so tried to give her a little extra flare without over doing it. I am glad I achieved that ^^

She's so whimsical!  I love the delicate shades of blue, her lashes, and wispy hair- you did a great job with her!

Thank you so very much! Whimsical was the look I was going for :) I'm going to try to get some outside shots of her tomorrow and more shots of her mane since it seems to get lost in the background.

Thank you for commenting ^^

Here's my newest custom. This will be it for a while since I have some other projects to work on, but I hope you like her. I am not entirely finished with the eyes, but because of other projects, they'll have to do for now. I'll touch them up later and share an update :)

I wanted to try and stay with a classic pony look with a touch of detail. I wanted her to fit in nicely with the herd. I like the wind-swept look of the faux fur, though I may thicken the mane and forelock when I touch her up later. Lastly, I apologize for the background, because of the white on white, you don't get to see her mane as much. If I get a chance, I'll post a pic of her with a different background later today. Anyway, thanks for looking!

That's it, I'm moving to Canada.

Do they accept Trump refugees?

And thankses for the congratses

I hope we accept Trump refugees! I'd love to have more pony collecting pals! We literally have a fantasy/scifi convention/comic con/toy con etc every month and all over the Greater Toronto Area. I buy way too many things D:

I fully support you moving here to pony-it-up with me :D

OOO! That is such a unique and cute design. Such creativity!

Thanks :) I hope they're not too weird! I kind of liked the idea of them still having their front hooves and they sit so nicely.

Hello all. I could not remember if I posted my "new" sea pony yet, so I thought I'd share her along with the prototype I made originally

Original.

Apple Jacke style sea pony--Her hair was a little out of control. I'm not great at hair styling. I plan to watch a couple youtube tutorials this week, lol.

I sold Apple Jack a couple of months ago at a toy show, but I am thinking of making more. I love my little prototype girl,
 but I think I'm going to repaint her a lighter blue. I had watched Rescue From Midnight Castle and went with the sea pony colors from the MLP pilot, but realized later that I prefer the softer pastel look, so I'll be repainting her, but I'll keep her eyes as is :)

So today was the first day of my new job working at the thrift store where I hunt for ponies.  I confirmed today it's OK to wear a T shirt and printed is ok.  So...even though there's a uniform vest that covers much of it, I will be sure to wear pony T shirts that stick out a little under the vest.  I think I'm going to wear some pony pins on the vest too maybe; I don't see any rule against it.

I also got to use my Pinky/Twily/Dash soup thermos for the first time but didn't have any company for lunch so it went unobserved.  All the staff there already know I'm a pony nut so it's like coming out or anything but still, I'm going to revel in being pony-branded at work.

I got me some G1 looking at ponies in Target pics yesterday, and no one even seemed to notice I was setting up stuff all over the floor to take pictures.  I wanted to get pics at Walmart too but the pony selection at the one I went to is bad so I'll try again at the other walmart near my other job.

Congratulations on your new job  :happy: 

We have a lot of toy collectors where I live, so much so that we have a convention once a month for toys from the 80s/90s, so I know lots of different toy collectors in the area and will see them at thrift shops etc. In addition, we have tons of comic cons as well, so I see lots of bronies too. We all get to observe each other out in the wild ;)

Thank you so much  :lovey:

I'm really enjoying everyone's perspective on this. I get that they went with sea pony because it would be easiest to say and with MLPs past with sea ponies, but as a G1 gal, I do get a bit of an eye twitch when I see a pony that looks like a a merpony, but is called a sea pony. I got used to merpony instead of hippocampus originally though (I love mythology, but for the sake of the toys, went with hasbro's merpony term), so I'll get used to the new sea pony, but out of fun, I feel like drawing a ton of different sea pones and coming up with different looks and body types and labeling them :D

It's interesting, I always considered sea ponies to be like sea horses, thus no legs and figured merponies were the MLP version of a hippocampus etc, but after multiple generations, various publications (comics and books), seven seasons of the current gen, pink and yellow people in Equestria girls, and now the movie... I give up :)

I'll just roll with it.

Thanks so much for the input and replies guys!

LoL! That was perfect!  :frolic:

D'awwwww! So cute! <3 Great work!

MLP and The Last Unicorn were so much of my childhood. X3

SAME. I remember them the most from my childhood, those two movies and Flight of Dragons and The Hobbit. But TLU and MLP I couldn't get enough of!

MLP and TLU make a great mashup! I love that she appears to be glowing. :)

Thank you ^_^ Yes! That was a happy accident, lol! I kept it though :) Seemed appropriate, like some kind of dawn magic.

Gorgeous! I love her pose and I'm glad you included the butterfly. :)

Thank you! I've seen a lot of TLU art and it just seems right to include either the butterfly or the red bull. The butterfly seemed to better fit the G1 MLP vibe.
