Whimsical
Garden - 2008
Custom by Aikarin
This particular custom was made from one of those creepy white
"blank" ponies for Hasbro's design contest. I was too
busy with real life & never got a chance to send her in. Her
white hair was removed and she was re-rooted with light pink, hot neon pink,
medium green, and dark green hair. Hair is nylon and longer than usual.
It was placed in spiral curls (no hairspray, of course).

I started out painting this
pony with a textured green gradient backdrop. The plant leaves are
painted in white. White swirly stems hold up bright pink
flowers. This is supposed to be the non-display side, however, her
head swirls, so there really isn't a true display side. You could
display either side and it would be fine.
|
Her design wraps around to the
front. The underside is a darker olive green. I painted little brown
"roots" underneath the green area. The transition looked a little
strange, so I added little brown & gold "dots" representing
dirt. ^_^

This is her display
side. Her eyes were repainted with pink/neon pink shades.
Lashes/pupils are black. She wears golden eyeshadow. I gave
her eyes two layers of extra thick gloss varnish. They are very,
very glossy indeed!
I really like the color
contrast on this pony. Designs were completely printed freehand. I
couldn't figure out what to do with the back, but a random vine design
emerged against a background of pale watery green.

Whimsical Garden is a CUSTOM

pony's design is one of the later G3s and she does NOT have a hoof
magnet.
