Pony Mock-up

I find this worth posting because it's the first time I ever tried using my Photoshop skills to do some "prototyping", and the outcome was pretty GOOD!


Moondancer is a unicorn pony, and a childhood favourite of mine. Sadly her actual toy looks kind of deformed, and there existed other poses from the later era that are more eye-candy. The above pony was what I created in Photoshop from the two source images below.

I've actually done this as a quick mock-up to ask for a pony commission, just so people know what I am talking about. I was surprised I found someone who was willing to take on the job! Anyway, the actual product came out pretty close, and I really like the new Moondancer.


This is part of the process where I'm pointing out to the lady about the symbol design that the moon is tilting at a wrong angle and it's overly curved. The colour wasn't exactly satisfactory either. In sum, I needed her to change. lol "Change" is always a scary word for people doing the production, but hey I paid the money, so I had to be pleased!


This is the final product - TADA! Of course the lady couldn't replicate exactly what I wanted on picture because this is handicraft, and she's limited in a sense that there's no engineer or whomsoever to solve her problems, but she definitely did well!  I would say the likeness to what I wanted is 99%! She also tied a nice bow on the mane of the pony, which was a bonus, since I didn't ask for it. The little baby pony beside is an official release, so in fact, the custom pony looks quite "factory".
