When I saw this my first thought was "woah, when hasbro said they would make more show accurate merch they weren't kidding, they win in that regard" but then I realized... custom. Ah well, they're still awesome.
Same as you painted the body, no doubt. It's not hard. And it would have helped the look of the toy a lot to have her turquoise, slitted cat eyes... her eyes being the wrong color/shape was the first thing I noticed. "Heyyyy cool, Nightmare M..... wait, wtf is wrong with her eyes??"
I agree about the eyes. The body is very adorable and well done especially considering how tiny it is, but repainting eyes isn't that hard, especially because they're not necessarily complex. It's just something that would have made it 20% cooler (or more accurate, anyway~)
These are so nicely done. And judging by how much that custom Luna went for (think it was over 60-70usd), I'm sure these will go for a pretty penny as well. Amazes me sometimes what people are willing to pay for these. 6_9

ReplyDeleteShould I get in a bidding war with them and make the price skyrocket like I did with the sketches?
ReplyDeleteAwesome work right there, truly.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it against the ToS for Ebay to sell things like this?

ReplyDeleteThat's the most adorable NMM I've ever seen
ReplyDelete@AnonymousThey're derped just the angle makes them look more correct than they actually are.
ReplyDeleteHmmm.
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to fancy up a Nightmare Moon pony like that, you'd think the artist would repaint the eyes too.
Very very minor detail but it makes up a lot of Nightmare's look simply by setting her apart.
That Night Mare almost makes me want to forgive her for what she did wit-... To. TO! me!.
ReplyDelete@AnonymousHow would you paint the eyes?
