Pony Stampsby ~starfox64x

Artisan Crafts / Other

Working on a new hobby... Stamp making! Yey! and as such, i found it fit to relate my new found fandom to MLP to this and made 4 stamps, and frankly, considering i havent worked with carving out stamps since my sophomore year in high school, i'd say i did a pretty good job on my first couple of stamps...

So my first one was Dash's Cutie mark, which, btw, is this the 'normal' way it goes? or did i invert it? i'm not sure, i've found images of it going both ways (i understand that it would probably invert on each of her sides, but still, i'm sure theres an agreed upon 'normal' direction...), i made a few little mishaps here and there, and it still needs some cleaning up in the blank areas, but i like it!

Next was Rainbow Dash herself. the only one that i've put on a stamp base so far, since its my favorite. I really like how it turned out! although i began to discover a hatred here that i will explain when i get to Twilight...

Which is right now! I was unsure of how to do her hair at first, since it has multiple shades of a similar color, but i think it turned out well.. Except her eyes... i now hate carving out eyes (That isn't something you want to hear without knowing the context...) all the shade and whatnot, plus those tiny reflections... it's very hard to work with... so it just looks like two big black eyes with odd reflections... not totally terrible, but still, i'm not a fan with eyes...

My next choice was either Fluttershy or Octavia... i chose Octavia because i wanted to expirement with her hair, and again, i like how it turned out... but again, the effing eyes... early on i thought i had screwed up the entired stamp becuase i screwed up both her arms (or legs... whatever.) but rather than give up, i just carved them out entirely, and in the end, it looks nice =3 I'm happy with them.

Please let me know what you think, and tell me what ponies i should do next.

PLEASE! If you're possibly interested in getting one of these, let me know. I'm thinking about doing stamps for commissions, but i'm not entirely sure at the moment... Let me know you're interested and i may start selling them =3 (and not just ponies, i could probably do other stuff too)

Thanks go out to the MLP Vector Club for the vectors used to help me make these. [link]

Also, take a look at my geek/gamer stamps!
