This is one of my first two custom My Little Ponies I've made! I had so much fun with this pony and I can't wait to make more of them.

The design for this pony came from a creature that my husband created for his D&D setting. Well, four creatures, really. Four different types of horses, one type from each of the four Elemental Planes. This horse is from the elemental plane of earth, and is made from soil and rocks, with rubies for eyes.

I used a G3 My Little Pony as a base. (I don't know which pony it was. When it came to me, it was white with orange, pink, and purple hair. The eyes and symbol were removed already) He was painted with acrylic paints in layers of dark brown, red, orange, burnt sienna, and a hint of lighter brown. The mane and tail were made from Apoxie Sculpt clay and then painted to look like rocks.

In my husband's description, the eyes were sparkling red rubies. So I glued on red rhinestones to achieve that look. Which is fine when you're not looking at him from a weird angle.

So proud of my first pony! I couldn't have asked for him to turn out any better for being a first try!
