This pony was actually made as a trade and the theme of the trade was "I like swirls let's make swirly ponies of awesome! Yey!" So we did! I already received my end of the trade. (isn't she wonderful?!) My partner specified that she likes pinks mixed with neutrals and she also like shades of gray. Plus swirls! Naturally I was very pleased because I'm more than a little overrun with pink ponies to customize.
Normally I save them up for a rainy day and have a dye-a-thon in which I dye ponies different colors that Hasbro never put out. Thus I get ponies that are black(like my soul) or red(like the raging fury that pulses through my veins!). But I digress. So yey I get to use pink...now I need a concept! and for that..I need arts.
While I was drawing the concept art it occurred to me that the interpretation of "swirls depends a lot upon the artist. When I draw swirls it tends to be all rambly, static, swirl, loop things that I call "swirls!" However, I notice a lot of people prefer a lighter look to their swirls. So it sort of brings up the question of....will this work?
Well I like it... and worst case scenario: my partner will just sell it like a lot of people do when they're thinning out their collections. Or she'll bait and no one will be the wiser. But I must take this risk! For I believe in my design!
Lookit me! I'm a swirly pony and I'm so cool!
Because I'm terribly original I named her "Smoke Swirl." Ooooooooo!
It's so swirleriffic! She'll be going to her new home either today or Monday.
Tune in next time for...Peacock themed ponies!
