I originally made these ponies last year [link] but when I took them (and others) to Dragon*Con, they got badly scuffed. I've recently made a new Stargate MLP, and I figured I should fix up all the others as well, and take better photos.
The markers used to colour Ronon originally smeared badly, so I painted him in acrylic, leaving the original sword-symbol. (It's too bad, really; I liked the translucency of the marker! *sigh*) Carson's original coat was a bit more of a flesh-tone, but I decided to go more with a colour like the jacket Carson wears on the show. Carson's medical coat was ruined -- I'm waiting to find a white fabric that won't fray but isn't too thick before I attempt making another. I got the wise idea to print out the Atlantis symbols for both of ponies, and Carson's medical symbol as well, and glue them on. Both ponies are coated in Modge Podge. Oh, and since Carson often has a five-o'clock shadow, I gave the pony one.
An edited version of the description from the original versions' posting:
For Carson's coat colour, I went with something [...] the tan jacket he often wore [...]; it's painted on with acrylic. His eyes I coloured a darker blue than they were, with a blue Sharpie; his main and tail were coloured with a black Sharpie. I gave him the yellow shirt that is a twin for Rodney's blue one, with the black panels down the sides. [...] Using the medical symbol for one of his symbols was a no-brainer, of course.
Ronon was very difficult, but I'm pretty damn pleased with him! ^^ [...] I actually re-haired him, which I have never attempted before. (OMG, what a pain!!!) I used this yarn that I felt resembled dreadlocks a bit. Thing is, the yarn was red-orange -- I had to colour it with a brown Sharpie. I used another piece of the yarn to tie the dreads up (the human Ronon uses a lock to tie the rest of his hair back). His coat was coloured with a gold-brown Sharpie (but alas became oranger as I worked, thanks to the ink used on the mane and tail). I used a green Sharpie on his eyes. I drew in Jason Momoa's "beauty marks" on the one side of his face, as well as the tattoo on his neck, his sideburns, and his goatee, and glued some of the yarn onto his chin. I'm rather happy with how it turned out! He's wearing one of the primitive-looking tunics he wears on the show. I didn't bother trying to add his necklaces -- too hard, and I didn't want to mess it up! XD On his left front leg is a simpler version of his forearm tattoo and an armguard, and his other foreleg sports another armguard. His symbol is his sword.
Both sport the Pegasus Expedition logo on one side, and the Earth point-of-origin glyph as a cutie mark on their hooves.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
