Helsinki brony meetup + Taralicious custom :3

Long time no see everypony!
I haven't had anything great to blog, but now comes something amazing!

There was a pony meetup last weekend, and it was my first brony meetup that I participated to.
I was a bit afraid to go there, being a girl instead of your generic brony, but I wasn't so out as I thought I would be. :3 It was actually really fun, and I talked to sooo many new people! It was nice to meet all of you Finnish bronies! You guys are the best!

I took some pictures from the meetup. If you wish, you can see them in here.

This group picture is taken by SharkMachine! aka. Petri Haikonen. :3
You can se more of his pic from here!

There was so many people that there was hardly enough space. :D 

Also, I made one custom pony for the sake of the meetup!

Taralicious!

I made her from brushable Rarity. Rarity is a good base, being white and everything. ^^; (And I had double Rarity.) The mane and tail is made from Sculpey firm, and the whole thing is painted with acrylics. I also added some fine bronze glitter to her face and around the microphone cutiemark, but it doesn't come out so well in pics.

I still need to practice a lot with getting the mane and tail look like hair instead of random blobs. I redid this ones mane few times, and I think I got it somehow ok in the end. But the tail, it looks so funny. 8D
I hope that I can improve more in sculpting and maybe someday I can make my very own pony sculpt from tip of the hooves to end of the ears without using a base pony toy. :3

Front pic! There is a mistake in the eye painting. ;___;

Taralicious was sold in the meetup! :3 Congrats for her new owner!

This was my first sold custom! I'm so happeeeh! ;____;

Next I'd like to make Derpy for myself and maybe Scootaloo too. I have started to like little Scootaloo more for some reason... But Applebloom is still the best of CMC! u__u Also I have one request to touch up mane6 blind bag ponies. Need to get some bases! D:

Thank you for visiting my blog!

First custom blind bags!

I decided to try painting blind bag ponies. :3 It was actually a good while a go already when I did my first two, but I just have forgotten to make a blog post about them! They have been on my DA thought.
The first one I painted was Blue Lace in the pic above. Blue Lace is my OC pony used in RPG. I love it how she turned out. That figure is now my official mascot for RPG sessions. u__u
Blue Lace was repainted from Fluttershy (who is just recolored RD...) that's why she is here.

My second repaint was made from Twilight Sparkle base. She is Tardis pony. Her cutie mark is windows of Tardis.
I made her to accompany me to Ropecon, where I wore Tardis themed dress.

In the second pic you can also see that I used normal (cheap) acrylic paints. Someone asked about the paints I use. From the pic you can see the mark of the paints too. These are my first two MLP blind bag repaints, but I'm sure that more will follow. Painting is so fun! Next I might do Derpy for myself. I just need more spare blind bag ponies. (Have some? Send them for me! u__u)
Later I might try customizing with Sculpey too. ^__^
