My swap pony, Sakura Night. Her idea was sparked from a pair of chopsticks I saw that were all blue with little usagi & moon designs covered in sakura petals. I had a blast designing her and even the painting wasn't so bad, even though those petals took about 25 attempts. I just have an unusually hard time working with pony hair. My partner, kanami, wanted styled hair and after rehairing about a 6th of the head my needles started breaking. The plastic in this head seemed a little harder than the ones I had done before but I figure even if I broke a few needles I'd get the job done. Well 8ish needles later, I was no further along and my reroot tool was bust. I tried fixing it with tape, super glue, clay, etc. Kaoskat stepped in to help me finish the hair and she did an amazing job I never could have on my own.
Unfortunately, Sakura Night is going to be my last custom pony. I've just learned I prefer drawing and coloring ponies instead of making physical ponies.
Thank you kaos for all of your help and I really hope Kanami likes her!
