    Hi there, Chestnuts here!

    As I mentioned in my introductory thread, I make blindbag customs. A failed Camden Market artisan, I hadn't done anything crafty for about half a year until I joined the Brony community and was inspired again by all the amazing art Generation 4 of My Little Pony has spawned. I document all my stuff over on my blog, Mane Offender but here I'd like to share some WIP photos of what I'm currently making.

    This is SephiPony, a tribute to Dembai on deviantART's drawing of the same name. He just needs a mane of milliput and he's ready for painting, hope to have him finished by next week.

    Fluttershy

    Fluttershy on a Twi base. She I think needs painting before I add her mane, as I think the mane will cover the eyes and make them hard to paint later on. I'm also working with a brand of paints that has a really poor colour range and I know GW do a yellow that's perfect for Fluttershy, so I'm not sure whether to mix the colours up using Tamiya or save myself the hag and drive to Hobby Craft for a pot of GW paint.

    I'm also on a background quest to make all 11 Wonderbolts, using Larsurus' lineup on deviantART. So far I've done Soarin', Spitfire, Fleetfoot, Firestreak, High Winds and Misty and plan to do Rapid Fire next (stallion with white/ grey mane and tail similar to High Winds')

    Thanks for looking! Please feel positively encouraged to leave comments, critique, comments or cookies. :3

    My only critique is that you asked for comments twice. :Trollestia:

    Seriously, that Sephiroth looks awesome. Can't wait to see the finished product. :)

    edit: If i'm allowed to post critique, his sword does look like it should be longer.

    Ahhhhrrgh, noo! I did put comments twice! Trevor tried to be clever and he shouldn't, ever. Thanks! I sorta feel the same to be honest about the sword but Colin will probably cop out and leave it as it is.. :/

    Darkshine, thanks dude! I get my blindbags from eBay, they work out about £3 each.. as for Surprise, she is a cool looking Wonderbolt, also I could do with saving my last stallion base, so I could move Surprise up the queue to next Wonderbolt.. would have to be wings down though, I currently only have one wing and no pegasi bases available.. curse you Sephy!

    Did you know, Suprise was originally going to be Pinkie Pie?
    That is one of the things which makes her AWESOME!
