Ponies and octopi

These two pink ponies carry their pets with them everywhere they go.

Both ponies started as Pinkie Pies.  Their original hair was dyed, Burgundy completely and Sparkle in a gradient.  Their eyes were repainted and freckles were added to Burgundy.  And they were given little octopus friends.  Because...octopi are adorable!

Sparkle and Swirly are always on the lookout for adventure.

Burgundy and Inky love to take in the sights around Ponyville.

The octopi are made of Fimo and Sculpey, two colours swirled together, one of them glittery.  Their eyes are seed beads.  The octopi were formed and positioned on the ponies, and then baked into place, they don't come off.  But why would they want to?  They have a great time riding around with their pony friends.
