Okay, this is it. My magnum opus. My main persona, born over three years ago.



I had wanted a G1 rearing Sunflower for years. Much like Aikarin's custom persona. Little did I know that I would be the one to make it myself. I had the bait before I decided to get into customizing, thinking I'd send it to a customizer if I found one.

But when I did start, I knew that Sunflower could not be my first custom. I needed practice. So all my previous customs, in a way, contributed to this one.

The rearing pose was the only one for her, although the trotting pose was a close runner-up. I wanted Sunflower to be triumphant, much like I want to be triumphant in life, despite the years of winter depression I endured.

Enough blather, let's see the custom, Stomper!

Finding a paint color match was difficult, and I think in the end, it's still not exact. But it's pleasant enough. I couldn't find a match for her neon-rose colored hair, though. I'm sad about that, but her soft rose color works too.

There's a few more pictures of her in my customs album if you'd like to see. Thanks for looking, everyone.

The next and last part of my series will come up in a few days.

SOOO cute! Great job!

SDS, she is beautiful!!! I love her in that pose and you did such a fab job on her symbol. I love the hair colors you used (even if you're not 100% happy with the pink) and those sunflowers in her hair are too cute!
