Funnily enough, the base sculpting on this pony was started before Friendship is Magic even began airing. It started because I had leftover apoxie sculpt after a different project so I used it to sculpt a creature on the rump of a pony. Then my bait sat there for probably a year or so, and FiM came out, and eventually I was inspired to make Twilight Sparkle and realized my little creature would make a great base for an interpretation of Spike since Twilight carries him on her back frequently anyways. Also, in classic Spike-fashion, he is napping through his ride. I did most of the sculpting/painting of the two of them last summer, but finally got around to finishing the pair this summer. It is possible because of all this delay I've been beaten to this interpretation, but I still like them.
Twilight's lion-like tail and fur-framed horn are inspired by unicorns in Renaissance tapestries, which are often associated with "realistic" depictions of unicorns. Also, rest assured that there is a purple streak in her hair. It may be hard to see in the photo, but I stayed true to the show design, well, that is minus the cutie mark. I skipped the cutie mark to try and keep closer to "realism". But anywaaays, enough talking. I hope you enjoy them! If you have any interest in having this pair for your own, send me a message!
