Side notes :)

Thanks so much for the awesome cute background, Ellie :D

I also have to commend Aikarin.com for her amazing tutorials. They're some of the best out there and helped me immensely. I'm jealous of her great skills! But hey, maybe in as many years as she's been doing ponies, I'll be able to do that too ;)

I have several ponies that I want to post on here, but they're gifts for the holidays (er, and one that I spaced about sending to my cousin for her wedding two months ago...) so there probably wont be any major posts until after Christmas. But hey, then I have all winter break, and money enough to buy some Apoxie Sculpt and try that out!

Speaking of which, the studio that makes Apoxie Sculpt is just seven miles away from where I live. I was looking at shipping costs and how to order it and noticed that they're just down the highway from my apartment! How cool is that?

Old Ponies

These are some of my past ponies, from when I started out. I might go into detail on a couple in the future, but for now this is just reference for where I started from...





This was my first pony. It was done before I got any proper brushes or started re-hairing, but I still think it turned out better than some of my other early ponies.




This is Axel from Kingdom Hearts. I intended to go back and make his eyes look better when I got some proper brushes but I never did...




This is the first pony I rehaired. The plugs were too thick, so the hair stands up like some bad 80's hairdo. She's also the first time I tried dry-brush gradient painting, and it sort of sucks on her.




Ireland Pony. Basically just practice on gradient dying of hair and dry-brush technique. Getting better at it!




Corset pony...great name, right? Anyway, she didn't turn out amazing since I used Sculpey polymer clay, but I may try making another one when I get some Apoxie Sculpt. I like her piercings.





Ok, Supernova was definitely my favorite pony before I ruined her...I tried to preserve the paint on her by putting a finish on her, but somehow these weird speckles turned up everywhere. The pics are obviously before that happened!




Halloween Girls. Yeah. Not a lot to say about them. Done on baby ponies.

New blog, eh?

Well, I guess I should get this blog started. I'm a modder of My Little Ponies, and thought I might document my progress and some of my creations on here, rather than Facebook.

I've been modding for approximately six months now, and though I'm not normally the artistic type, I'm loving it. In my real life, I'm a student of Dairy Science and Biology, and absolutely love all kinds of science, though it can be a bit much sometimes. My ponies are my diversion when I'm overwhelmed by science and school.

I'm not active in any MLP forums, though I do peruse them regularly. At the moment I've only sold ponies to people I know from school, but I'll probably branch out to an Etsy store eventually. Right now I'll do a commission if the opportunity comes up, but I'm not actively out there trying to get work.

Now, I'm far from perfect, or even a professional level. But that's a lot of why I started this blog! I want to document what techniques work for me, what techniques are terrible, and the improvement in my ponies. If I can help anyone out along the way, all the better!

I have a Pony Preparation tutorial coming up soon. There are some good guides out there, but sometimes the wording can get confusing, so I came up with a photo tutorial on what to do. I also have a semi-tutorial on how to prepare one of those impossible figure-skating/ballet ponies, though I've yet to figure out how to get the last skate off...
