Custom Persuasion Update
Two new releases this week -- meet Bathory and StarSpeckle.
I first played around with the idea of doing a "dark" Shee series well over a year ago, but the concept never really got off the ground. Now, finally, I can introduce the concept with Bathory, first of the Shadow Shee. Named after the legendary countess who supposedly kept herself young by bathing in the blood of virgins, this Bathory is a bit less violent but no less spooky.
Bathory began as a gradient-dyed Serendipity who bounced around in my custom bucket for a long time, waiting for a purpose. I recently got my hands on some deep red nylon hair from http://www.mylittleponyhair.com/ (lovely stuff -- I'll go into more detail when I update the links section of Custom Persuasion in the very near future), and it complimented the bait's gradient so nicely that the two had to go together.
Bathory's wing symbols are black and deep red, and vaguely reptilian. She has a matching pair of hearts on her front display-side hoof, and her eyes have been partially repainted. She has a red jewel accent near one eye.
She also wears a removable silvertone chain necklace with a red "gem" pendent. Her black tail ribbon is accentuated with matching red beads.
------
In contrast, there's nothing at all gothic about StarSpeckle. Originally a Penny Candy, StarSpeckle's been given a Restoredoll reroot in deep blue and bright purple.
StarSpeckle has blue and purple star symbols with ice-blue accents, with matching stars on her face and hoof. She wears a removable lavender ribbon on her tail.

Both ponies will be uploaded into the Custom Persuasion gallery tomorrow (Tuesday) at 4:00 PM Eastern. Once they're in the gallery, they'll be available for private sale -- Bathory will be $38 and StarSpeckle will be $30. Please visit Custom Persuasion for more information on buying customs. ^_^
Also, for those who liked last week's release, Leapfrog isstill available for sale. [edit] now on hold. ^_^
Finally, here's a sneak preview of an upcoming carousel attraction:
She's not quite finished yet, and she doesn't have a name. I haven't yet decided whether I'll sell her or hold onto her -- I'm finding it a bit hard to decide on a price for her, so I may end up taking offers. If I have time, I'd like to do a small carousel series, so I may hold onto her for now and release the whole set at once. We'll see. ^_^
