Telltale Games

Jen Kollic · 04/30/2010, 10:17 am

Well, since I've already made Kirby versions of Guybrush, Elaine and Morgan, I could only think of one thing that could top that kind of crossover. A crossover with REAL BRUSHABLE HAIR! You know, like just about every single girl's toyline of the 1980s. Speaking of girl's toylines from the 80s, I recently got a load of vintage My Little Ponies (which were all in terrible condition just in case there's any angry collectors out there!) off eBay for me to experiment on, because I wanted to try my hand at customising My Little Ponies. You know, for science and junk.

Without further ado, meet Guinea Pony #1:

A pirate, eh? Well, that can be arranged... with some acetone, a scalpel and a scalping. Because the Three Trials are for PEOPLE, not ponies.

Oh, it's much too late for that Pony!Guybrush. Much, much too late...

Scrubbing, scalping and otherwise preparing the ponies for customisation takes a while, so you can amuse yourself by using the disembodied heads to freak out your flatmates. That's what I did anyway.

The teal pony head on the right may or may not be related to the Monkey Island/My Little Pony project. Or I might just put it in my flatmate's bed while he's asleep.

Next, sculpting!

I'm using Milliput epoxy putty to sculpt the outfit, unfortunately this means I have to do it in stages. I'm hoping to finish it tonight, so there should be more pics later.

Can't wait to see the end result!
Anyways, i thought old-style My little ponies were really expensive these days...

They are... if they're in decent condition. The lot I got off eBay were being sold as bases for customisation as their general condition was average to poor, most of them are stained in some way and/or have lost hair. This is what the staining is like on most of them. (pony on the right may or may not be involved in this project...)

Awwww, thanks, I'm flattered! Unfortunately I don't use Facebook, I'm bad enough at keeping my Livejournal updated. And there will definitely be more characters than Guybrush getting turned into ponies...

I'm expecting pony melodramas.

*Irishmile* · 04/30/2010, 01:37 pm

this thread is freaking me out man!!!

Jen Kollic · 04/30/2010, 02:40 pm

Progress!

He just needs a few more details added and a bit of sanding, then he'll be ready for painting.

Avistew · 04/30/2010, 02:49 pm

Looking good!

unicornfoal · 05/01/2010, 03:18 am

Awesome, can't wait to see these finished!

Jen Kollic · 05/01/2010, 01:04 pm

Have finished sculpting the outfit, it just needs sanded once the epoxy has cured, then it can be primed:

These are the colours I'll be using to rehair him:

The colour on the right came out really dark in the photo for some reason, it's lighter IRL. The middle colour will be the main one I use, the ones on the left and right will be used for streaks. They're all from http://mylittlecustoms.com which is a great site for getting pony customising supplies.

At first the dismantling of a childhood icon weirded me out, but this is looking seriously cool. Thanks for all the pics, can't wait to see it finished!

Avistew · 05/01/2010, 02:09 pm

Never had ponies or seen any in read life, so dismantle all you want as far as I'm concerned

And it's looking better with each set of pictures!

Jen Kollic · 05/02/2010, 02:53 pm

Not much of an update today, but a plain black undercoat really has improved his looks. Now he's Dark Ninja Dave, only a pony!

Giant Tope · 05/02/2010, 03:09 pm

Now all he needs is a tiny plastic sword!

caeska · 05/02/2010, 03:15 pm

Now to forge a treasure map, sell it on Ebay and bury this thing...

*Irishmile* · 05/02/2010, 05:18 pm

I will admit I was skeptical at first, but now I cant wait to see it finished great work.

Everlast · 05/02/2010, 09:09 pm

You know i hated those ponies i though always they where too cutesy and pinky and all that. Im liking this thread so much i cant wait to see it completely finished!

You oughta try selling it in Ebay see for how much it goes!

Shouldn't it be "Ponybrush"?
