Big ''Military'' Macintosh

Description

This fella right here was a few firsts for me: my first "real" commission, my first entirely sculpted custom, AND my first time using :iconcolour-splashes:'s technique for making colts from mares! (Which, incidentally, sounds really really creepy.)

Story behind him: I have a good friend in the local brony group I head. My good friend has a cousin who she loves dearly. Her cousin, also a brony, is in the military. She wanted to get him the perfect "welcome home" present and came to me with an idea - his favorite pony, Big Macintosh, with some unique military fixin's.

A lot of love went into him. If you look at my super duper special behind-the-scenes custom pony tumblr, you'll see all the misery I went through to get him to look like this. He is pretty much the physical manifestation of my blood, sweat, and tears. He was a little pain in the ass with all the sculpting and sanding I had to do, but I'm really happy with how he turned out and so is his commissioner, so what else really matters?

Although, this also means that before I get really good at sculpting, especially with colt body modification, once I start REALLY taking commissions (which won't be far off!) sculpted ponies are going to be super over-priced. Like $45 base price. >_> It would take a lot of money to get me to go through this again without more practice.
