Space Maple

At this year's Canadian Extravaganza, I contributed two new Maple customs ponies to the Maple Army.  This blog, I'm introducing Space Maple.

Space Maple started out as a Core 7 Pinkie Pie, fully repainted.  It's been quite a while since I've made a space themed custom, but this one was specially requested.  Unlike my previous space themed ponies, I did not paint a specific nebula on her, rather I just freehanded her paint job.

Space Maple has one blue maple leaf-shaped nebula on her flank, and a space shuttle on her shoulder.  Naturally, the shuttle bay doors are open so you can see the Canadarm at work.

Her hair is Dollyhair Black Magick, with a streak of custom-dyed gradient hair (left over from previous custom Moonrise's mane).

I had wanted to add more maple leaves to her, either in extra nebulae or constellations, but when I tried I found it started to look a bit goofy.  That is why her Maple identity is a bit more subtle.  I do think she's quite pretty, however.

Paint Splatter Maple

At this year's Canadian Extravaganza, I contributed two new Maple customs ponies to the Maple Army.  This blog, I'm introducing Paint Splatter Maple.

This Maple started off as a Cotton Candy.  I painted her maple leaves with white glue, using a similar technique as was used on Rainbow Daydream (see previous post) - in fact, Maple was my tester pony for Rainbow Daydream.

I then painted the mulitcolour splatters all over Maple, highlighting the glue maple leaves, but also with plenty of splatters elsewhere (she's a true artist).  The glue was removed to show the leaf outlines and she was sealed.

Her hair is a combination of Dollyhair Water Nixie, Peaches and Cream, Electric Banana, Passionfruit, Bobby Blue, Sour Apple Martini, Sour Grapes, Bubblegum, and Pussycat, with braids in both mane and tail.

She's a cute, fun, simple custom and I quite like how she turned out.
