Smooshees inspired custom: Jubilee

[reanna-mator]

Hi everyone... I've had quite an absence due to some busy times, but in the meantime I've completed the first custom made for myself. I've done a few for swaps and received a couple too, but never made a custom pony with the intention of keeping it.

However, the idea struck me when I was eBay shopping for old toys I had when I was a kid. So I had a Smooshees toy, and I'd forgotten about it until I saw a picture of her, and feelings of adoration came rushing back to me. Unfortunately... wouldn't you know it, she's a little hard to come by.

Look at this sweet little girl. Looking at her, I remember loving the combination of colors and how soft and floofy all of her is. I figured that unless I get really lucky I'll never own her again.

So I decided, why not combine her basic look with my love of My Little Pony, and create a custom that is inspired by her look so as to invoke the same feelings of nostalgia? I gave it my best shot, and I think she turned out pretty good.

What do you think? I'm thinking of doing more of these, so constructive criticism is definitely welcome.

Aw, she's lovely! I adore the lace around her neck, and think it's great that you were inspired by a childhood toy.

How adorable, makes me want to hug her! Great design too, I love the collar. Maybe give her a bow to complete the design?

Never heard of Smooshees (don´t think we had those over here...) But I can really tell where you got your inspiration from, she's amazing!

She's so cute! I love the ribbon, and her symbol looks great too.

Thank you everyone. It really took a long time to finish her... hopefully I get around to doing more like this.

Very nice! I had the pony Smooshee and stable and for years I've been trying to figure out what the heck she was!
