I know what you're thinking. "What, again??" Well, third time's the charm. I'd gotten some blue metallic paint, and thought I ought to spiff Rodney up a bit, since John was so shiny. Unfortunately I ended up *ruining* Rodney, so I took the pony I'd earmarked for Kavanaugh and used him to make a new Rodney. Pretty pleased with him, really. Can't tel so easily from the photos, but besides him being somewhat metallic, he also has rainbow-y glitter. His emblems and the shield device also *drumroll* glow in the dark! Instead of colouring his mane like last time, I glued some furry material to him, to mimic Teh Hewlett's fuzzy hair in season 4. ^^ And I painted his laptop silver and put a little printout of the Atlantis expedition emblem on it, like in the show.
John refused to be outdone. He made me add a Ferris Wheel to his emblem (well, I decided to put something unique behind all the military emblems). And I decided he needed the black wristband (I got that notion before I'd seen your own Sheppard pony, ;devberrymouse:, I swear! XD)
You can see version 1 of them here: [link] and version 2 here: [link] and the rest of my Stargate custom ponies here: [link]
It gets easier with practice. It used to take me all day to make a pony, but now I can generally get a pony done in two or three hours. I use acrylic paint and seal it with Mod Podge. In Rodney's case (he's my fave, too), I used a metallic blue paint mixed with a lighter blue acrylic, and also added a coat of opalescent glitter paint (*that* was tricky). Even with the Mod Podge, though, you have to be careful -- the paint can still get chipped/scraped off.
Ah, I love mod podge! We use it in the crafts for teens all the time I'm going to have to try that.

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
