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, not affiliated with Hasbro, and this design will not be repeated.  She is signed and dated under one hoof.  The base pony's design is one of the later G3s and she does NOT have a hoof magnet.
