G1 Fluttershy

Name: Fluttershy
Year Made: late 2011-early 2012
Base: G1 Heartthrob
Hair: Dollyhair Pussycat ("fading pink")
Features: Very faint blush on her cheeks, which is not something I normally do. Took half a dozen tries to get it, if not right, then at least acceptable. Doesn't show up very well in the photos, unfortunately. Fully sealed, which is also not something I normally do. Triple-thick gloss coating on her eyes. Her head turns, though it looks weird at other angles, so I'm not sure that counts as a "feature" per se.

G4 Puppy for Sarahlacewing

Made for the Animal Companions Swap on MLP Arena, the first swap I've done. The idea was to customize one of the G4 animal companions to match your partner's OC.

My partner was Sarahlacewing, who was also the swap organizer — so, no pressure or anything. Her character hangs out with a pack of wolves, so I thought I'd take a Winona and turn her into a wolf pup. I envisioned resculpted ears, but backed away from that at the last minute to stick to straight-up repainting instead. As a result the wolf pup looks more like a husky pup, but eh, it's still cute, and Sarah liked it.

Painted in acrylics, sealed, glossed on eyes and nose.

I have to say I had a pretty good time doing this. It was satisfying to make something for someone else, without having all the constraints of a straight-up commission. I wonder if these happy feelings would hold up to a bigger swap that involves customizing actual ponies.
