Description A original design that serves as a cheeky mockery of the "sparkle dog" internet term.

Got a few sparkle fakie G3 baits from ~cookhuman , so I wanted to make something really special from these, since this is my first time obtaining these wonderful pony bases!
They're sparkly, designed after my fav animals, and I wanted to keep the designs simple (hair and paint) to show case their gorgeous sparkly bodies.

I also got the "glass eye" idea while browsing a fantasy shop; came across a cat-like gargoyle with gorgeous glass eyes. Inspired me to cut the original eyes off these sparkle fakies, and pop in some fun glass ones!

So with this, I wanted to keep a color theme that accented the vivid blue of the pony. Purple and black seemed to work best; I was originally going to just stick with black, but the purple glass eyes went best with the design, and I just happened to have bouganvilla pony hair.
With that said, her main is re-haired in black magick and bouganvilla pony hair!
Her tail is a funky hair extension I found at Claires accessories and boutiques. I do not take credit for actually dying the tail, I just saved the extension for a very special custom design, which happened to be this one!
Growing up, foxes and raccoons were my fav animals, so I figured that hair HAD to be used on a raccoon. XD

Mana, I think you already know what I'm gonna say ... this custom is freakin' epic! I've never really been one who really liked the "sparkledogs" - my interpretation of them are dogs with no logical anatomy. I do like mixing it up with like, bright colours and stuff like that, but ... yeah. Your version of sparkle is just too freakin' awesome.
This one has all my personal favourite colours! Not only that but your idea with changing up their eyes to be so ... well, sparkly and entrancing is so unique. I love that you did a little raccoon "bandit mask" too, eee.
<3 Are you gonna do any more like this?

I have another orange sparkle bait, and a purple one that's in the pose of the green leopard one.... so I'll eventually have to come up with something to make from them.

I want a yellow sparkle fakie to make a yellow fox... but I don't know if yellow exists in the sparkle fakie world. XD
