Description This pony was such a challenge for me, despite the fact that she is my favorite color ever. I made her for the color swap at the MLP Arena. The only real rule in the swap was that your custom had to be mainly your partner's favorite color. Everyone supplied three things they loved as well, to give their partners some inspiration.

Colorscapesart is awesome because she loves yellow, and her three favorite things were listed as daffodils, henna, and acoustic guitars.

I tried so hard to really run with the Indian henna idea, but I'm just not that good a painter lol. Instead I went with this thicker henna-ish design of a daffodil. I am proud to say that I designed that flower completely from scratch.

I must've painted this pony at least a dozen different times with as many different designs, and somewhere amongst the many fiascos, this pony earned the nickname "the poops pony." I'd like to think she's not a poops pony anymore lol.

Her eyes and symbol are painted in acrylics, her hair is Dollyhair Gingerbread and Dollyhair Buttercreme, and her necklace and anklet are handmade with glass beads. The necklace is woven, and I have three different versions of that as well lol.

The twisty hairstyle was made using ~Suabeth 's hair styling tutorial.

Big nod to mah peeps at the TP for listening to me bitch about this pony lol.

There's a ton of other things I could keep going on and on about, but I think this comment is quite long enough lol.

This pony is gorgeous! Looking at her makes me want to attempt customs... although I think I may fail a lot at that and get rather frustrated, haha. She is absolutely beautiful!

Thank you ^_^

I messed with her hair for -hours- before I was happy with it...that pony probably has a hundred tiny stab marks where I put the pins in and pulled them back out again lol.

DreamCrystalArt In reply to severedanomaly [2010-02-16 19:18:59 +0000 UTC]

Lol! Sound about right XD How did you get it to do a kind of S without the twist undoing o.o;

severedanomaly In reply to DreamCrystalArt [2010-02-16 20:03:04 +0000 UTC]

I couldn't tell you exactly how I pulled it off, but there was a lot of manipulating the coils to twist in directions they didn't naturally want to go.

DreamCrystalArt In reply to severedanomaly [2010-02-16 21:56:11 +0000 UTC]

ah I see *just tried it on a fakie* Funny thing how hair doesn't need a hair band or anything really except a pin to keep the coils from undoing XD

severedanomaly In reply to DreamCrystalArt [2010-02-16 23:20:40 +0000 UTC]

Isn't it though? The biggest nuisance is securing the end of the twist. I actually used a teeny tiny rubber band (for orthodontic braces) to tie the end, then dabbed a bit of glue to the band and glued it right to the pony's head. I was soo worried that it wouldn't work lol.

I honestly hate using glue styling a pony's hair XD

severedanomaly In reply to DreamCrystalArt [2010-02-17 00:11:57 +0000 UTC]

Me too! But in this case, I made an exception. And I like to validate myself by remembering that I used it on the rubber band, and not the hair lol.

Thank you ^_^ I hated her so much after all the failed attempts, and now I think she's possibly my best work yet.

By the way, I've made absolutely no progress on your pony...sorry lol...but I have ideas!
