Description Caline , for *ox-of-ice .

She goes so wonderfully next to Ecume on the shelf that it's hard to imagine I'd considered giving up and not making her. Perseverence (and a wonderful roomie ) won out and here she is, at last! I hope you like her!

I don't really have a 'details' shot like Ox does for her beautiful, beautiful artwork, but here's (most of) the workstuffs used to create her!

This my little pony custom pony began life as Be Bop . If you like my work and would like to see your own character as a My Little Pony, please feel free to note me for comission details.

Yeah if my roomie hadn't shown me about it I could have lived in ignorance of the custom MLP world. Good luck if you decide to start modding!

Ha ha, wow. You're really getting good at this mod-ing thing aren't you? It's beautiful! I'm glad that sugarpeep made you finish this one! It was worth it. *nods*

^.^ Thank you.

Yeah I totally ruined the first attempt at this *sigh* I'm going to scrap the first try. Peep bought me a new base pony, one with white hair and I started over. I would have just dropped it because I couldn't get the white hair, but she came through! *s her*

Now the real question is... what next... *grin*

*chuckles* I've already got a couple more ponies planned; not ones like Ecume and Caline, but ones I've wanted to do for me. But thank you for the thought!

That's a really friggen good custom! Now I wanna put piccies of my one custom up. In fact it makes me want to do MORE customs! Thank you for inspiration! What sort of paint did you use? That's something I'm still trying to figure out for doing customs.

shinigamispark In reply to LadyElfie2000 [2006-03-02 04:27:18 +0000 UTC]

Wah, I'm really glad to be an inspiration!

I used (for the most part) acrylics. The main sort I use is a brand named "Liquitex" and the variety from Liquitex is "Basics". For the shines I add in "Lumiere" acrylics mixed in (they have some really nice 'hi-lite' paints but they're kind of expensive). Also there is my ever-handy glow in the dark fabric paint which, if mixed properly with your paints, can make your critters glow. Good luck, and let me know if you get those mods posted; I'd love to take a look!

OMGGGGGG

YOU
ROCK
SO
HARDDD

Where do I beginnn lolsss D: damn. I knew she was going to be good but this... aaahhhh. Your work with details is AMAZING LOOK at those speckles. And you got all her markings right! And her socks! And her hoof colors even. Omggg.

I LOVE the sheen this has, her coat looks almost pearly, in the first pic especially! And the mane and tail came out wonderfully omggoshh. *wants to touch* SOON YOU WILL BE HERE CALINE!

Aaaah you know what?! I'm not going to charge you for the 2nd half of the commish lolz D: these two are worth more than that. *melts*

What did you use for the horn? I can't tell... from what I see it looks like it's just part of the original MLP . Gaahhhh I love herrrr. I'm going to put this in my journal if you don't mind :DDDD.

XD I stared at the hooves in the pic of her standing by the ocean until my eyes bled trying to match those colors so you have no idea how happy it makes me to know I did!

I mixed gold paint into the original color mix (before I white-brushed the 'fur' over it) but it didn't show up enough so I thinned down pure gold so I had like... gold water... and then brushed it all over her. So her colors really WILL shine when you get her. The first time I tried (with a different pony) it didn't do that and I was disappointed. I'm glad I had to start over, because this one came out 8millionx better than that one was.

*rolls* I borrowed (and by borrowed I mean permanently stole) some of Peep's no-bake clay. It got really dry and crackly while I was trying to shape it, so I had to quick grab the closest hold-together stuff i could find and it happened to be my glow-in-the-dark paint *facepalm* So uh... her horn glows in the dark just a little bit.. ^.^;; I didn't want to just glue it on because I didn't want it to look... well, glued on. So I bored a hole in the base while I was molding and put the glue in there so you can't see glue around the edges of it. It's not seamless, but it's dark close for what I had.

I don't mind at all if you'd like to put her in your journal! In fact, I would be delighted. I'm glad you like her so much!

Hahaha, when I gave her those different colored hooves I never considered how hard it'd be to match them up . Sometimes simpler IS better!

That sounds so coolllll I want to hold her ;__;. Hey "gold water" sounds really pretty. *makes a note in The List Of Ideas*

Ooohh so it's made of clay! That's clever. And hahaha it glows in the dark?! That made me laugh that's awesome. And it sure does look seamless. You pro.

shinigamispark In reply to ox-of-ice [2006-03-02 14:34:49 +0000 UTC]

Naaahh the hooves were fun. All of her was fun, really!

^.^;; It doesn't glow a LOT in the dark, since it got painted over, but yeah. Just a heads up in case you ever seen a tiny, faintly glowing horn by Ecume's brightly glowing patterns... it's her.
