~~Carousel Swap~~ Sign Ups Closed Partners Soon!

Okay, opinion time!

Hippocampus-type carousel pony - smooth tail, or scaled? I'm having a hard time deciding, and am worried about it looking too much like a merpony on a pole if I do scaled, and making it smooth and non-lumpy if I don't. :yikes:

A hippocampus is a seahorse right?  If so, they're not exactly scaly anyway. They're more like horizontal ridges. I think you'd get the best of both worlds that way.

I like scales, but that's just because I think they're so pretty and delicate looking.  Also, looking at some pics, it looks like you can change the whole look of the horse with just varying the look of the fins on the tail end of things.

Some of my supplies arrived today! And they're smaller than I wanted, but they'll do.

Is it the pole LadyS?  I might have some extras around.  You guys are all ahead of me, but I should be catching up soon.

Well now that I have my bait chosen I'm almost feeling like I do want to do the pole.  Ugh!  I can't make up my mind!!!

I'm sorry, partner.  I've gotten overzealous with the sculpting...

well, I went with a different bait than originally planned, but it's now fitted to the pole. Time to start sculpting/ordering other bits!

Depends on the carver, some went more sea monster some went more sea horse.

I think this one is a copy of the real one, but I can scan a shot of the real one if you want

My little making-it-for-myself carousel pony is all but done.
She just needs to be less bald :)

Oh and sealed. That helps too.
