Description This is Adembe ("ah-dem-beh"), my first attempt at customising a pony. The original pony was a G3 MLP called Royal Beauty.

I'm mostly happy with how she turned out, being a first attempt. I had to give her a full-body repaint with white acrylics as I was using old, crappy nail-polish remover and it left a ghost imprint of her cutie mark. And because of the *#&@ing insane amount of glue that held her hair plugs in, the neck got warped a little during the two painful days I spent ripping hair out, and made her neck seam a little visible.

She's signed and dated under one hoof and has her name written under another. Her eyes were repainted to a golden orange-yellow shade and she was rerooted with hair from a witch wig from the costume aisle of my craft store.

Zebra stripes are hard to paint, okay?

I was going to style her tail so it sat down but I kinda like it all stickin' up and funky like that.

My Little Pony is copyright Hasbro, and I have just taken it upon myself to barber up one of their ponies in my own design. No lawsuits plzkthx.

Edit: Turns out there's a place called Adembe Kulam, in Sri Lanka. Did NOT know that. I made the name up because I thought it sounded African! The things you learn.

Thank you! I wasn't sure about them, and all the photo references I had to go on were so tiny and blurry. I'm happy she's at least recognisable as a zebra!
