Title: Blindbags into wedding gift!

Finished! So pleased with them! The symbol on the boy is the company he manages, and the girl's symbol is her illustration logo :]
The bride loved them and thanked me in the morning before everyone headed back home, so pleased!

Info on their creation below!

I really wanted to post this progress somewhere, but since my friend follows my art stuff on fb and tumblr, here is the perfect place for it! (And to ask for constructive criticism as I go!)

Okay, so the wedding is early June, and I have a month until I finish my degree, so I'm not sure why I'm making myself do this as well.. but I'm transforming two blindbags into ponysonas of the bride and groom!
I've done one of these before, when I made my boyfriend into a pony here..

Which I was super happy with, and still like (it's been dropped a few times!)

So onto to ponies!

Our pegasus couple..

Flutters I'm keeping yellow, but I'll re-paint thunderbutt or w/e his name is, as they like bright colours!
Also, bonus that the offcuts of flutters perfectly compliment what I wanted to sculpt for boy pony! As he wears his hair in a pony tail, flutters tail tip works great, and her hair cut fits wonderfully onto his tail!

First round of sculpting is up next! :D and flutters still needs the paint in her feathers picking out...

Update 1 yehhh

Cutting and sculpting is done, and boy pony has been spray painted white for a base layer, and the girl pony is getting a base coat of white on her hair.

Paint time next!

Woah! Got almost all of my flat colours down!
Mane colours are chosen because they're both brunettes, but teh bride to be mentioned they both like pink, so I went with a peachy pink stripe in his mane and tail, and a half and half on hers.

Post by: Tulip on June 11, 2015, 02:46:15 AM: Thank you! It totally makes me want to customise more blind bags! I'm terrible at re-hairing so sculpting hair is a lot more fun for me.
