Title: Ocean Pony, First custom in a long time!
Post by: True on September 21, 2016, 09:27:12 PM

So A few weeks ago I posted about wanting to get back into customs, and I got a few people who PM'ed me and gave me some really great Ideas.

Cookhuman suggested an Ocean Themed pony and the idea just really stuck out to me, I NEEDED to make this custom lol. They gave me a theme but then full freedom to do whatever I wanted with it, which I love.

I named her Ulana, Ula meaning "jewel of the sea"

Bait is: Paradise Palm
Hair is: Daiquiri Ice
            Atomic Turquoise
            Unlucky Clover
            Envy
            Sea Nymph
(Using green's more heavily than the blues)

Anyway Here she is! I'm really happy with her, and more excited than ever to start doing regular customs again!

I sculpted a few bits of the coral, to cover the 3D symbol and just to add more dimension. I loved the ribbon because I thought it looked like seaweed, and it's got wire in it so it can be posed. :p

Thanks a lot for looking, I really enjoyed making  this!

Thanks everyone! I'm really pleased by it. ^-^
Also I took these pictures before I sealed things, Since I wanted to use triplethick to give things a "wet" look, I figured it would be harder to take pictures then xD.

Do you guys think you could help me come up with a base price range for something like this?

Somehow I missed this when it was first posted! Beautiful work! I love the hair especially, and the small braids in the mane were an excellent choice. The paint work and sculpting are really nice!
