I started work on this three years ago for the McPony competition and had to shelf the project when my life went belly up.  I've finally been able to come back and finish her now and it feels great!  I've learned a lot and made lots of mistakes but I'm happy with how she turned out in the end.  She's my first custom, but she won't be my last!  I have two more started.

For now I'm calling her Sea Sparkle.  She started as the G3 McPony Sparkleworks.  I challenged myself by removing her tail and giving her a proper one with real hair.  I didn't get her perfectly smooth, any tips?  I also accidentally removed the eyes from the start.  They were hard to get to the point where I was happy with them.  Also, I need to find a better sealer.  What do you think works best?

Still pondering a hairstyle for her and I need to get some shots in better light.

 

She's gorgeous.  Love how you did her eyes.

They're all lovely. Wishing so much I'd be there picking one out in person tomorrow.

Adorable!

Great job!  She's adorable!

Customs
I love customs!  My favorites are G1, G3 and G4.  I prefer painting over sculpting, though I do love the ponies with cute animals and things sitting on their backs, sculpted wings and horns.  I like some of the sculpted kimono ponies and I love sushi ponies.  I don’t like things that are too dark or scary.  No zombies, please!

Custom Interests
-My ponysona, Lynx Rush, as seen in my signature.
-G4 version of G1s!  Looooove these!  I think I like them more than regular G1s now.  I feel like a traitor!  I have one so far, Sparkler.

-most gummies, especially sour (sour patch, sour punch straws, sour cherry cokes, etc.)

I actually have a book wishlist on Amazon.com under [email protected].  I like reading young adult fiction, fantasy, books about cats of all sorts.  Fiction starring animals.  Feel free to send me one you love and I'll try it out!

Zoids (Regular models, not blox or characters)
Any feline model!
Spare parts for customizing!
Any model at all, so long as it is from the set that you assemble and wind up.

I loooove plushies!  I love plushies of uncommon or odd animals, and Pokemon.

That Pink Fizz is an awesome hair color!  The customs look great!

Wow!  Those are awesome!
