Hi pony friends :D

I just thought I might share my 2022 custom contest entries from the german MLP con in july this year.


Here they are with some other contest entries, sadly I didnt wait long enough to take the pic so it doesnt show all entries. Silly me just put them down, setting up their accessories without thinking XD Been too excited lol.
The big dark one on the left for example was made by my friend and shes reeeeally massive and heavy :p And do you spot a purple haired Gusty on the right? She was made by another good friend :) Her entry for the rehair contest!

And now on to my own entries !!

This is Herzchen, I made her for the Rehair contest. She came in second place. Gave her away right after the contest and she now lives with a good friend of mine <3 She even won a small prize (a post card set and a Nightlight keyring, very cute!)

This is Zecora (lol you guessed her name, right?) and she entered the Generation Mash Up contest. She came in 1st place, I couldnt be prouder!! She got a little prize too (a special limited postcard and a Raindrop Keyring and and a beautiful ribbon too!). Here are some more pics, a wip pic and a pic with her accessories. My husband made the kettle, its "magical" lol, the potion lights up in different colors and a "fire" is burning under it. She also has three tiny little parasprites, lots of potion bottles and stuff. I really loved making her accessories!!! Shes also one of my very very first "re-posed" ponies (well I only had to make her head and body fit and I made her jewelries with clay so technically its not that amazing and I dont think that counts as re-posed, hm.)

(oh ehm the golden ribbon is from a quiz, Zecoras ribbon is the blue one)



Haha and last but not least : the mashup pony!!

mondschein.jpg


Mondschein was made from the scraps that Zecora left behind XD ok that sounds harsh but its kinda true :p Zecora got the body of a Milky Way and the head of a Sweet Tooth and Mondschein got the leftovers that created her funny pose.
But because I hate just throwing away stuff I decided to make a custom out of it and so she came to live. The funny side of it : while I had to put lots of cutting and sanding down etc. into making head/body match on Zecora, the remaining parts kinda fit perfectly o.0 No idea how that worked but as you can see, there is only a slight difference on the neck.
Of course she didnt place at the fantasy contest but hey, the community got the see my.... uhm... "amazing" work and had a good laugh :D She is decorated with lots of tiny rhinestones, tinsel in her hair and just a super random symbol, I just went by "do what you come up with in a minute". My friend adopted her later :)

Oh just noticed, on this pic you can get a glimpse of some more contest entries. Well Ill try to find a better pic, there were some really really nice ones there!!




So, what do you think of them? :)

I can't see the pictures :cry:
 
Thank you so much <3

I always use these colors (Marabu Decormatt acrylics. Really only the matte ones, the shiny colors makes the pony suuuper sticky):

Plus I only use synthetic brushes like these, they make the paint go soo smooth and nice :

And I add a little bit of water so make the paint a little bit more runny. Basically I put some color on a palette and dip my brush into water and then stir it a little. It needs a few more coats that way but it comes out really smooth in the end.
 
Youre welcome :) I love helping out if I can.
You should definitely try out synthetic brushes, they are really good!! If the color gets bumpy it might need a really good shake or stir before painting maybe. Or just adding water little by little, not too much!
Just keep practicing, we all had to learn it from scrap, you can do it :satisfied:
 
Aw these are awesome!
 
I love Zecora! Ahh and love melody… the mash up pose is awesome!

Love Melody really suits the floofy hair!
 
omg i would fight someone for that zecora lol ♥
 
oh man my eyes were immediately drawn to zecora = fantastic job! I have no doubt she won 1st place easily hands down just love that pose I thought you had cut off her horn at first so what a cool solution to make a mash-up also so clever :)
 
Aww thank you all so much!! That means a lot to me, really <3

Zecoras pose btw was inspired by HQG1C Mint Kitty Love´s pose. When I got her back then I totally fell in love with her and especially how she was holding her head and such, its just so cute!! Had to make my own one lol :D

I had originally planned to use a Flower Boquet for the rehair contest, she would have gotten the same hair and accessories. But when I cleaned the baits for Zecora I just fell in love with that poor dirty, rusty, hairless old Love Melody.... no idea why and how but she just took my heart <3 Found a hairless Sweet Tooth to replace her and decided to rehair her instead of Flower Boquet XD So, poor old Merry Go Round pony still sits in my basket....almost hairless. Waiting for her chance to shine!
