Custom Persuasion Update

This week's releases are a pair of safari/wildlife-themed ponies and their baby animal friends -- meet Monkey Business and Panda Preserve.

I recently came across some rubber baby animal figurines that were too cute to pass up, so each of these ponies comes with the corresponding little critter. I was inspired by last year's Seaside Celebration sets that came with pony pets.


Monkey Business started out as a Fluttershy III (I think this is Fluttershy's third incarnation, anyway); she's been rerooted with saran hair in shades of tan, yellow and brown. Her mane's a blend of about six different colors. Her symbol is a little cartoon chimp, and she comes with a baby chimp (yes, even though chimps are apes and the pony's name is Monkey Business, heh). She has a matching heart on her front display-side hoof, and her irises have been repainted. She wears a removable ribbon choker with an animal-print bead, and she has a matching tail ribbon.







------


Panda Preserve took her safari adventure in a different direction and ended up making friends with a baby panda. She has the same hair colors as Monkey Business and wears a similar choker, only her bead is black and white. Originally a Fairy Dust, Panda Preserve now has a panda symbol, a matching hoof heart, and repainted irises.

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 for $38 each. Please visit Custom Persuasion for more information on buying customs. ^_^

Also, I'm in the process of setting up a private auction system. I've gotten a number of comments from people who are unable to work around my current sales method, so I'm playing with the idea of putting new releases on 24-hour auctions to give all interested customers a chance to bid. If I get the system up and running, at some point soon you'll all be invited to register and play around to see how things work (I'll post a few test auctions that you can play with and bid on). Keep an eye out for that if you're interested!

I love Monkey Business' body color. :D Very nice lavender! It goes well with the brown hair.

Thanks! I love that Fluttershy color, so I'm always happy when Hasbro releases another version of her.

I can't believe you hand painted the animal symbols. They look amazing!

Thank you! I sketched them out on paper, then freehanded them onto the ponies, and I'm so pleased with how they came out. ^_^

*grins* I think they're both gorgeous, but -- believe it or not -- monkeys totally freak me out, so Panda Preserve gets my preferred vote ;p

I love the hair on those two! Brown just isn't used enough on ponies. ^_^ Are those Schleich animals?
