Okay, after two years of regaining interest in My Little Ponies, I finally finished my first custom. I originally made her for the Customs Contest over on MLP Arena, but I lost. There were so many entries in the contest that were done much better than mine. It's...humbling to say the least. ^^;

Anyway, Ever Dream here was inspired by the Nightwish song of the same name. She started out as a G3 Misty Blue who had a few minor factory flaws. I dyed her a deep purple with slightly darker purple gradients on her legs (though those don't show up too well). Once she was dry, I coated her with a thin coat of purple Acrylic Paint (to try and give her a slight 'antiqued' look. I then stuck little 'cellphone bling' crystals all over and painted silver 'swirly marks' and 'white stars' all over her body. She was then sealed with Future Floor Varnish with some Mica powder mixed in (courtesy of ~AyamePasse). Her hair has been rerooted (via LadyDayDreamer's Rerooter Pro), with white Nylon hair from custompony.com along with some purple "Play Hair" I got from the Dollar General about two years ago, which I kept long and used a flat iron on. Her little wings came from a box of craft items belong to my granny and the 'crystal' on her forehead was in a box of Barbie stuff my mom's on again/off again boyfriend gave me.

I'm so happy with her and I don't have any current plans to sell her. :aww:

Also, sorry about the blurry pics. I tried sharpening them up a bit but to no avail. I hope everyone can make out my entry though. ^^;

Oh, and don't forget to download for the full version of this. ^^;

Thanks, sadly she got caught in flood water recently and I need to take her down and re-glue her bling as well as brush out her man and tail. :(

Yeah, I think retouching her might fix her though. :)

Heehee. I still have this gal. The pics are pretty old though and I plan to take new ones once I can get access to a better camera. :D

She's beautiful, but the wings seem to be put on backwards. ^^; I love the colours and the general look though! :)

Thanks. And I was trying to make her wings look like they're folded back...too bad it doesn't look like that though. ^^; Too late to fix it now. =P

*lol* Well, now you know 'til next time, right! ;) And she's pretty anyway! I'll try and sculpt wings for one of mine later. And I can't sculpt... ^^;

Yeah, I'd probably wind up ruining both pony and wings if I tried removing them and gluing them on the other way.
I'm not good at sculpting nor can I afford Epoxy yet. I have a few ponies who need sculpting. ^^;
