Twice as Fancy Applejack

Please say hello to my first ever custom pony, Twice as Fancy Applejack! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ The photos aren't great, I'm still learning, but here she is! I was inspired by @buwugy 's adorable drawing of Applejack as a twice as fancy pony and really wanted to try making it a reality (with a few of my own personal touches ;D)

Finally painted the hybrid pony I made with a G5 MLP and the LPS head @queenofsquids sent me!

I decided to paint her eyes in the style of G1 MLP, as I thought it would suit the LPS pony sculpt. Otherwise, I tried to keep it simple.

Her name is Silver Lining. She's always looking on the bright side, and is good at cheering others up when they're sad.

She's so cute, I love her. 🩶

Is this it?

It can't be!!

MY MLP CUSTOM IS FINALLY COMPLETED!! She gets the name of "Midnight Serenade" and I love them very much...

She's based on dark starfolks (Worldless), especially the moth enemy... they came out so good and it's surreal seeing them in full glory after all these months!

Oh and I used a bootleg pony as a base... that looks SURPRISINGLY like a Gen1

Bonus closeups

@horsefigureoftheday I hope this lass may bring you joy /silly

Myself and the absolutely incredible Dark-Lys are thrilled to announce that the first ponies of 'Project G2 Re-Do' has been fully funded and are beginning production. YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT!!! I cannot thank Dark-Lys enough for their amazing investment which is making this pony dream a reality. They have personally funded the first production run of the project and we've been excitedly scheming behind the scenes to make this happen. HUGE THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART    They are incredible What does this mean for everyone? A first run of blank white G2 ponies are being made. I have a meeting to finalise our requirements with the factory tomorrow but they have been working from a detailed project proposal meaning that these ponies should have: - Plain white bodies made from hollow vinyl with a detachable and posable head - Mane rooting holes pre-punched for ease and a tail hole - Printed eyes matching the originals - Holes for eye gems (gems not included) - In the Sky Skimmer / Pretty Parlour Ivy style pose These ponies will be ready in approximately 4 months!!! No kickstarter required! They will be available to directly purchase - easy peasy! They are being made in the UK by a very reputable toy manufacturer, meaning the materials used will be the highest quality and certified to comply with health and safety standards worldwide. It also means that communicating with the factory to make sure everything is perfect is really easy! I'll be opening a webstore, and Dark-Lys will be an official US / North American distributor which means buying internationally will be a breeze! Additionally we will be offering wholesale orders for any pony shops interested in stocking them. My store will hopefully also include everything you need to customise your ponies including eye gems, rooting kits, hair, possibly cutie mark stamps, and a blog full of tutorials, tips and tricks to make some beautiful 90s style ponies Thank you SO MUCH everyone for your support on this project it's a dream come true. Special shoutout to Uftaki over at MLPTP for helping name the project! So exciting! I can't believe that after 20 years there'll be more G2s in the world! Any questions please feel free to ask - I could talk about this all day!!!

🍬Since there is no Minty in G2, I made my own☘️

I used details from all of existing Minties for this one pony

Thank to my friend, who gifted me a G2 Ivy as a base for this custom

I turned a duplicate pony into my favorite ghost boy. The irises, cutie mark, and white parts glow in the dark :)

New commission sheet anyone?

No--but for real, I decided by silly little commissions sheet needed a bit of a facelift (totally not just so it would match my new page aesthetic).

So here it is! I've included general examples of my work and examples of my MLP work!!

If you're interested or have any other questions, please DM me!

Have a good day and peace out!!

Happy Leap Year from Southwestern Baby Ribbs!! This little cutie has been bald in my stash for possibly years, and when my FB group had a challenge to rehair a baby pony, I thought he’d be perfect! I really got stuck on what colors to use, and my friend Marbletoast helped me come up with a whole bunch of great ones, and when she said Southwest, I said SOLD! 🤣 Luckily I had all the colors I needed in my stash, but they got a little wild when I set him up to dry in front of the fan! 🤔 Ah well! I didn’t want to do ringlets, since he’s a playful baby brother after all! He also has an itty bitty amount of plugs, and sadly Buttercream doesn’t show up as creamy as I’d hoped with only six plugs! 🤣 His hair colors are (in order) Shimmerlocks Powder Puff, Dollyhair Buttercream, SL Crumpet and DH Pumpkin Spice! Have a great day - it only comes every four years after all! 🤣

I worked on a couple of UK Shy Pose Confettis and decided to hunt down a US Posey Pose Confetti for myself. She needed some destaining around her glitter marks, and then I decided to give her different colored confetti taking inspiration from her hair colors instead of trying to fill back in with only red and green.

I didn’t use glitter, though. I used a mica loaded acrylic paint instead.

Hello! I wanted to share my process of how I made my Easter Pony! She is my second ever custom and she made all the trouble I had with the first one seem like a walk in the park in comparison ಥ_ಥ Let's begin!

DISCLAIMER: Custom ponies like this one are not to be played with by children nor made by children. This pony was made with the use of nail polish remover (acetone) which is toxic. You need to wash your hands throughly after use and use in a well ventilated area. This pony was also made with sharp tools such as an xacto knife, sewing pins, rehairing needles, and an awl.

First, the concept art! Trial and error caused her to look a little different than the concept art but I still love the end result!

I wanted to start with a white base to give myself a clean canvas for dyeing so I got this G3 Breezie off Ebay for only $3. I decided to first remove her mane and tail which requires removing the head. If you know anything about G3 pony customzing, you know their heads are difficult to get back on once they come off. Even when you run them under warm/hot water. So to get it back on for dyeing, I tried trimming a little excess of vinyl off the neck ring with my xacto knife. It slipped and got me right under my nail! Bad omen for what's to come!

After getting her prepped (removing her mane and tail, cleaning her, using acetone (nail polish remover) to remove her cutie mark) she was ready for a dye bath! I used Rit DyeMore as regular Rit Dye won't dye the vinyl material that ponies are made of. This was my first ever time dyeing anything that wasn't fabric so I was thrilled when she came out this warm rich brown! So pretty!

I read online that dyed ponies will leach dye onto other ponies if they touch, so I wanted to try and prevent this as much as possible with some matte sealer. Lesson #1: Even though she was dry, the matte sealer reactivated the dye! The smallest touch left a print! :(

I pushed forward! And tripped immediately after! I thought, "Surely matte Modge Podge will seal her just that much more" and to my dismay, the Modge Podge kept every brush stroke I made when it dried!! She looked like a leather hand bag! ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )‧º·˚ I learned later you can buy matte Modge Podge spray online but all I had was the type you brush on to your surface.

Thankfully, with the help of sixteen cotton balls and a q-tip with acetone, I managed to remove all the sealer but she was no longer that nice rich brown. Oh well I still loved her!

And whoever said the paint will protect the eyes from the dye has clearly never dyed a dark pony! Her eyes were so brown after this lol

Painting, adding of polymer clay easter themed confetti, and adding her 3D chocolate bunny cutie mark went great! It was all going well until the eyes.

I had never fully painted pony eyes before so the first attempt was pretty bad. Not even my multiple attempts at glitter and using clear nail polish as a cheap gloss on the eyes could save them.

It was so bad that I almost didn't take any pictures but when I went to seal her head, this weird white powder covered half of her face?? I had never seen this before and it freaked me out thinking I just ruined her. I managed to get it off with a cotton ball and some acetone but her paint was fully damaged.

Turns out this was caused because I didn't shake the can of sealer well enough. I needed a break....

While I took a break for a few days, I decided to watch tutorials on how to paint doll eyes and learned that it's actually pretty common to use high quality watercolor pencils; either Faber Castell or Derwent (which is what I ended up buying).

When I came back, I made the hard decision of removing all the paint and decorations from the head and starting over. Hours of work gone but it was so worth it! 🩷 Removing the paint with acetone ended up making her head lighter than her body so I had to redye her head lol. This time I mixed Derwent pencils with acrylic paints for her eyes.

Time for the hair! I've never done curls before and my original plan was to buy curly hair online but it's so hard to find in the color and curl size I wanted.

So my second idea was to buy small curlers to use on regular nylon doll hair bought from ShimmerLocks on Etsy. But when I tested them out on poor Flower Bouquet it looked so bad ಥ_ಥ

I discovered a Youtube channel you may know called Dollightful where in one of her Stock Box videos she used yarn that she unraveled to make super cute tight wavy hair for a doll. It was a perfect solution! It looks so good but omg it was tedious haha! I used it for her tail too; sectioning off the colors hoping they'd stay separated (they didn't lol).

She's nearly complete! Time for small decorations! I tried so many different ears from air dry clay to stealing some from bunny decorations I bought at the store and nothing was working! But I had one last idea...

I gave these old Littlest Pet Shop costume bunny ears some use with a flat top sewing pin and some glue so now my pony has bunny ears! Yay!

I forgot it in the concept art, but I originally wanted to add flowers to her mane but I couldn't figure out how to do that without glue which I didn't want to do, too permanent, so I opted for some beads I had on hand. I didn't have any light blue so I made some with the use of acetone (nail polish remover in my case) and boom! Light blue beads! Then I washed them off so the acetone wouldn't damage anything :)

I used a gold topped sewing pin, a butterfly charm, a felt flower and two faux flowers to create a cute hair accessory!

Finally I sewed a hair tie to a puffball to give her a removable cottontail if I ever wanted to take it off.

And DONE! She looks so good after so much time and effort! I worked on this girly for two weeks I think? She actually had a partner I designed but I've run out of time to make her :') Maybe next year? 👀 🩷🩷

[demethinkstoomuch]

The TLT pony spree continues with my Tridentarii (Tridenfilly? I don’t really know what to do here) ponies! I like to think that Coronabeth’s very decorated horn is fake, and the band hides stitches or a seam or something.
