Description

This is a pony that I made last year and never quite uploaded (honestly, I'm so terrible and remembering to do that!). She was a commission from a lovely person at the MLP Arena who essentially let me do what I wanted, so long as the result was a nebula pony. A little searching (okay, I looked at her signature) revealed that this particular person is a G1 Medley fan, and that was quite enough to go by.

The bait was a Tropical something-or-other and the hair was all Dollyhair (Unlucky Clover, Black Magick, and a host of other colors in the dark parts of her mane and tail). Since G1 Medley is a pegasus, I wanted to make this pony somewhat pegasus-y without actually adding wings, which would make a nebula pony far too busy, I think. The giant "space" patches, then, were painted in a vaguely wing-like fashion; I wanted to keep them abstract, but I'm not sure I hit the right balance between "abstract" and "hey, I can tell those are wings." Live and learn!

Some of the stars on her are grouped in musical-note shapes, but it's rather subtle and I'm not sure if it's even perceptible. Although I rather like this pony (and her new owner liked her, too, which is the important thing!), I think I failed to pull in the characteristics of G1 Medley in a way that could be seen. Sure, some of the patterns look like feathers, but the Medley elements are too subtle.

Sorry for being so long-winded! I hope you like her. :) I had a good time making her and ended up with one of my pony grails because of her.

Well, she didn't remind me of G1 Medley (except for the colour) but she is such a lovely pony, that this doesn't matter, I think. ^^ You did such a wonderful job on her symbols, with those little stars and all. One could really look into nebula, when looking at this little cutie! :D
