Description
Violet Symphony g4 OC commission
Commissioned request by DjPon33 to make a custom pony figure of their original bat character design called Violet Symphony.
Pony base is a generation 4 Pinkie Pie. Full body re-paint job in pale lavender acrylics. Eyes and symbol hand-painted in my style of built up textures.
Mane and tail are re-rooted in dollyhair’s nylon mlp hair in the neutral light purple pigment called Twilight, and saran Barbie hair in the pigment called Fox Glove (highlight).
Hair is styled by a curling iron and hair dryer, and was slicked down with water.
Wings are a thick gage wire with real leather glued around the wire. Painted in custom hand-blended acrylics in a mauve hue, detailed in a paler mauve hemp cording. Hemp is also wrapped around the neck.

AAWWW, super cute and very well made!
How much money goes in your hobby, by the way? How often you do those pony customs?

I'm constantly producing these ponies all the time. I have a little bit of a for sale stock, along with a physical store I display these in.
Most for sale stock sells along with the commission inquiries rolling in, I am left with some for sale customs decorating my shelves but I don't mind as the shelves are always moving and never stay the same. ^-^
I've run a estimate of approximately how much it costs in supplies to do a custom, and run my commission prices off of that. I then estimate approximately how much my time is worth.

Well, I scarcely draw. I may pump out a few drawings per year.
Other than that ponies offer me all the multi-media outlet I need. They're a blank canvas for painting, styling hair and crafting multi-media textiles from just about any material I can come up with, including real leather.
I kind of don't need anything else.

I draw very much and I would like if I could draw for others, because it´s very interesting and fun, but I guess it is kinda early for something like that. I don´t even have much friends here. Only one I´m talking with lately.
How much do you use recycled stuff in your handicrafts?

If I inspire you, you're welcome to draw for me~ if you're doing requests I could give you some ideas, or you can browse my original design folder in my gallery and get ideas there~ you're also welcome to bounce some ideas off me if you need.

Thank you! I´ll tell you if I get some idea from your art and I´ll ask if I can do it plus when the drawing is ready.
So, could I try to do human versions of your pony customs? They are so great!
